The “New” 90210 debuted on Tuesday with a lot of eager expectations. The majority of viewers were fans of the original 90210 which first aired in 1990. In order to lure the earlier viewers into the new series the producers integrated many of the stars such as: Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth from the original series. Granted, that is a great plan to win back half hearted viewers but how long can they incorporate them without their presence being static. Many of the people watching are too young to have seen The 90210 and are enticed by a West Coast rendition of Gossip Girls. It seems that the CW’s intention is to emmulate a trans-series cross between The 90210 and Gossip Girls; the problem is that most of the components were not transplanted correctly. Read More>>>

Sorry for the two week lapse in posts but I have not had an Internet connection since moving to Cali. I moved to L.A and am relishing every second despite the proverbial pickle I am in. Yeah, I moved out here with no job and whats even worse is the fact that I followed a woman here. Now I have to not only support myself but I have to prove to my fiance that I am not a loser. I had an interview last week for a content operations and editorial assistant position with a start up company in Venice Beach. I hope that it works out, for my fiance’s benefit as well as my own. I will be updating the blog regularly, so stay tuned!

Senator John McCain
I just found out that in 1936 Senator and Presidential candidate John McCain was born in Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone. So, who the hell cares where McCain was born, right? Wrong, the U.S constitution states that, “Clause 5. No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been Fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. ” It clearly states that a presidential candidate must be a natural born citizen, which McCain is not. McCain was born on a U.S naval base not in the United States itself. Read More>>>

The Olympics have been a main focus of this blog for many reasons; reasons that are just understood. The Olympics come around every four years and now that they are under way I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to decide who is the hottest female Olympian of Beijing. Before there is any uproar from the female readers I will be adding a poll for the hottest (sounds weird typing this in my head) male athlete. The only dilemma with the male poll is that I am no expert on the male anatomy so I may need some help from my female readers. Without further ado here is the list of candidates, if there is anyone missing from the list that you would like to add just comment or email me.
The following candidates are listed in no particular order:
#1 Blanka Vlašić — Croatia, High Jump
She Can Vault with my pole anytime!

She makes balls disappear!

Table Tennis Has Never Looked THIS Hot
#4 Nikki Gudex - England, Mountain Biking
I just flipped over my handlebars
#5 Jennie Finch - USA, Softball
Apparently too hot to wear clothes
#6 Natalie Gulbis - USA, Golf
I wonder if she would play with my putter
#7 Allison Stokke - USA, Pole Vaulting
I'd like to see her work the stripper pole
#8 Yelena Isinbayeva - Russia, Pole Vaulting
She could probably get great leverage using my .....
#9 Bia and Branca Feres - Brazil, Synchronzied Swimming
What more could you ask for....TWINS!

It seems that the octopus that is recession is slowly spreading its tentacles around the entire world. Recession is starting to look more like a global pandemic than a domestic endemic. The U.S dollar is finally starting to come out of it’s slump and is making headway against the 5 major currencies; noted by the steady augmentation of the dollar index. The frightening part is that three of those 5 major currencies, the Euro, British Pound, and Yen, are flirting with recession. Read More>>>

The latest buzz in Beijing is emanating from the pool housed inside the magnificent “water cube”. All eyes are transfixed on one man, Michael Phelps, the human porpoise. There is no doubt in any one’s mind that Phelps is an amazing swimmer, quite possibly the best Olympian swimmer of all times. If Phelps surpasses Mark Spitz’s 7 gold medals in the 72′ Munich Olympics then he will unquestionably be the greatest Olympic swimmer of all times. As of now Phelps has 11 gold medals, 6 from Athens 04′ and 5 from Beijing. With 3 events left he has the opportunity of sweeping this summer’s swimming competition, giving Phelps 14 total golds. Phelps has already surpassed the previous record of 10 total gold medals held by fellow swimmer Mark Spitz and track and field legend Carl Lewis; making Phelps the winningest Olympian in history.
The best swimmer is not the best athlete

Look - I just turned 5
So the Olympics are finally underway and now we all have the pleasure of watching 24hour non stop coverage of…commercials. I have never seen this many commercials in my life. The U.S must love the fact that the Olympics are being held in China; with their 12 hour time gain they get to show us chopped up reruns and plug-in about 30minutes of commercials in 1 hour of coverage. The only way I can watch these Olympics is by TiVOing them, otherwise I may actually find myself buying the scintillating and sexy Sean John cologne. P.Diddy says that if I buy his cologne “I will be a baller and every Nubian princess will be mine”, I’m starting to believe him.
Sorry for the rant but I just wanted to convey how much I hate commercials. Tonight I decided to watch the live feed of the women’s gymnastics at 12:00 EST, way past my bed time. This was the first time I made the plunge into the live broadcast. Generally, I am no fan of gymnastics and was hoping NBC would televise table tennis but I was not that lucky. According to the IOC, all athletes must be at least 16 years of age. The U.S team seems to be of age except Shaun Johnson, who is about 6 inches shorter than her 5′ colleagues. So the U.S women’s team does their floor routine and they jump on the horse and swing on the monkey bars, making detrimental mistakes at every turn and falling ever so gracefully. When the Americans were done doing their thing the Chinese, who were the favorites, rolled in on their strollers and put the U.S away. Read More>>>

The U.S Dollar posted its best gain in 6 years, partly due to crude’s barreling of $4.82 to $115.20. The U.S Dollar posted a 1.6% rise in the Dollar Index. The Dollar Index measures the dollar’s performance against the 6 major currencies: the Euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar and Swedish krona. On March 16,2008 the index bottomed to 70.698, yesterday’s close was 75.850. Yesterday’s 1.6% jump may seem small but it is the best gain since 2002. This is a significant improvement that deserves some merit, it indicates that the U.S economy is rebounding as other economies experience some exhaustion. Some countries in the EU, England especially, are experiencing some of the financial woes that we are. This may also foreshadow a decline in interest rates in some of the EU countries.
Crude Oil is at it’s lowest since May 1,2008; this is a good thing. Oil has been on a decline for the past two weeks which is concomitantly lowering the dollar. The dollar has been showing increased fortitude against the Yen, Euro and British Pound for the past two weeks, just as oil has been declining. The British housing market has witnessed its largest monthly decline as foreclosures are becoming as imminent as they are here.
This is a good sign for the USD. Analysts say that bear markets last 5-10 years, the U.S has been in a bear since 2001. This increase in the index signifies that the future for the USD looks bright; well at least brighter than before.

A column of 150 Russian tanks and other military vehicles entered South Ossetia yesterday after Georgian troops launched a major offensive to retake control of the area from Ossetian rebels late on Thursday night. All this evolving while Prime Minister Putin was a spectator at the Beijing Olympics. Read More…

Today I am getting surgery for a hernia. For those that do not know, a hernia is a tear/hole in the lining of your stomach that causes part of your intestine to poke out. You can actually feel the intestine protruding in the groin region. It is caused by heavy lifting and various strenuous movements. This little ailment has prevented me from working out for the past two months. It is such a small condition as well but it is so damn debilitating. I mean I can’t do anything, I can’t have sex, I can’t workout, sometimes, I can’t even flog the dolphin…now you can feel my pain. Oh yeah and if that’s not enough, I think the $1000 deductible will put you over the edge…..
