I just noticed that the Book of Eli is number one on the latest list of DVD Movies New Releases.
I saw this movie in the theaters when it came out and remember a discussion that ensued afterward: Is Eli blind in the movie? After visiting the Book of Eli IMDB page, I realize that many people have this question.
In talking with some of my recent college graduate friends about sex in college now-a-days, one girl mentioned to me that the participants had to sign a sexual consent legal form before actually having sex.
Excuse Me?
In our discussions, a few of the gals mentioned that they had had drunk sex a few times that they could scarcely remember. So, if the guy, presumably also drunk, does not get the girl to sign the sexual consent form, can he then be accused of rape? Or, better yet, could he accuse her of rape?
In this article, we discuss what is the best match for Leo. Leo’s have some strong characteristics and attracting a Leo is no small feet. Find out what is the best match for a Leo right now.
Ah, if you landed on this page wondering “what is the best match for a Leo?”, you are in luck my friends because I am a LEO.
I say that with pride and apparently that is one of the characteristics of a Leo.
My uncle just came by for a visit. My uncle is a priest, a Jesuit priest no less. If you want to get technical, they’re super-priests.
My uncle has like 5 masters degrees. Jesuits are uber-educated as they have to study for like 13 years before becoming full-fledged Jesuits. It’s great-you to get to keep going to school well beyond when you’re suppose to stop going to school and get a job. Your only trade-off for this? A lifetime vow of poverty and celibacy.
Can a woman say something that may cause a man to leave her rather quickly? If so, this might be that thing.
If you are single, you may be able to relate to what I am about to say. If you are married, it may be somewhat more foreign.
When you are a single man, you tend to do a lot of dating…or hopefully you do. Dating is fun and exciting and sometimes you allow yourself to be open to many choices.

After spending a couple of years living in Uruguay, I decided to take an extended trip to Buenos Aires because it is such an amazing city.
Speaking Spanish should be easy.
Normally, they pronounce each letter as it is. With me, the problem often lies in emphasis, in stress. Where should you place the stress on a particular word in Spanish?
In my first month Living In Uruguay, I was off to meet my friends in a salsa club on a street called Rincon. I knew that I was near the place, but I could not locate the street. I saw this amiable older women and decided to put my Spanish learning to the test.
I politely asked:
Me: Dónde está la calle Rincon? (Where is the street Rincon?)

I recently read about Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw Divorce Rumors. I never thought Dr. Phil would make my Top Ten 10 Fraudulent self-help gurus list, but, if this news is true, he certainly might.
I cannot say I was delighted with this news (who wants to wish ill on someone?) but it won’t disrupt my day.
Dr. Phil has caused me many a headache!

Soursop, known in South America as Guanábana, is an exotic fruit with many health benefits, including the ability to fight cancer. So why haven’t you heard of it?
For those that have read my site in the past, you know that I have lived in Uruguay and currently spend half of the year living in Medellin, Colombia, which is where I am right now. And, coincidentally, where is A LOT of this wonderful fruit called Guanábana here in Spanish and Soursop in English.
When it’s time to make your career decisions near graduation time, it would behoove you to listen to Steve Job’s Commencement Address first.
Many of you college seniors will be graduating in a couple of months. Everybody is asking you, “Well, what are you going to do with your life?”
The word for it currently escapes me. (I think that it will come to me within two paragraphs). But I am semi-it.
I haven’t even had two sips of coffee yet and I don’t know that the brain is turned on. Although, when I was in bed, debating whether to arise, thoughts were rapid-fire but in a mellow feel good fashion, not frenetic. That may be the perfect state. In bed, all comfy, enjoying ideas a-flowing. Perhaps I should go back.
