Wow, uh, how old is Miley, again? And what happened to all that "Kurt Cobain" talk? You know, how you dismissed Justin Bieber's music and pop music, in general, then crank out a "Britney-esque" single and video . . . uhm, yeah.

So it's no secret to local sports fans that Coastal Carolina's basketball team is REALLY good this year, and that, if they win 4-5 more games, they'll have wrapped up the regular season Big South Conference title; with that comes the right to host the conference basketball semifinals and finals (as long as they're still in it, anyhow).The Big South Conference hates that thought, though, because

So like THOUSANDS of others, I took in Saturday night's Mixed Martial Arts event at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, so I thought I'd share some observations that crossed my mind....1. Why is Coastal Carolina's basketball team not playing more games in this venue? It's PLENTyYbig enough for the games they'd draw more than the 900-1000 their tiny on-campus gym holds. Seriously.2. Why was it

Yeah, you came to my page looking for entertainment, and what you wind up with is my griping about how my life can sometimes suck. What surprises you more: that the friendly-sounding guy on the radio can actually have some "suck-itude" in his life or that I'm even bringing it up?Seriously, though; this winter has been awful, hasn't it? Recession hangs onto our wallets like a money-hungry bimbo

If you haven't seen this video yet, it'll set your jaw down a few notches...In a related note, a friend of mine has come to the SELF-realization that he's an alcoholic and attended his first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting last night. Wow. What courage. I mean, nobody MADE him go, there was no "intervention," either. He just had his self-epiphany (he's right, by the way), and went in. I'm

The last two months have been about as traumatic as I care to have, ever in my lifetime. I found out, in mid-August, that my mother, merely 56 years old, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, forming in her gallbladder. There's nothing more frightening than finding out a loved one has cancer, especially when you're on a rollercoaster ride of emotions with good, bad, positive, negative, and

I don't need to explain myself to anybody when it comes to race relations; I grew up in a racially diverse community, have friends of many shapes, sizes, colors, ethnicities, backgrounds, etc., so those who'd like to lob "racist" labels at me after reading this can stuff it. You'll be dead wrong. Now, allow me to get to the point of this post... Now that the NAACP (National Advancement for the

Needless to say, the last month or so have been trying times for officers within the Myrtle Beach Police department. They've made few friends in biker/tourists, and in that process, ticked off a few residents, as well. Before I go any furhter, let's get this out of the way...I mean, I shouldn't HAVE to preface my blog today with this statement, but I'll put it out there, anyhow... I have

Answer this question...what's the most DISGUSTING thing a "friend" has posted via Twitter or Facebook or Myspace for a status message? Give it some thought and get back to me.Now, ask yourself, did you REALLY need to know that your "friend" ( use quotes because are ALL these people REALLY our "friends?) was on the couch, clipping their toenails, watching 'Dog: The Bounty Hunter?"

And no matter WHICH Of the late-night fast food efferings you go to, the lines are almost ALWAYS going to be long, the service is almost ALWAYS going to be super-slow (and in OUR minds, we think it's because the

I won't pretend to be COMPLETELY in the know on all things "politics" in this area; but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that many people were unhappy with the "status quo" for bike rallies before, and many folks are VERY unhappy with local laws trying to curb these rallies, as well. There HAS to be a way to make MOST, if not all, folks happy, right?First off, the helmet law, it's

It's been a trying couple of weeks here, along the Grand Strand, what with an already sluggish tourism season, a longer-than-usual winter, and now - wildfires. Rampant fires have damaged over a hundred homes, destroyed (at last count) 82 houses, caused millions of dollars in damage, and put a lot of strain on all of us - those who've lost belongings, those who've helped those in their time of

Hey, did you hear the joke about the horrible businessman who concepted a failed business, then wanted to sue the new owners of that failed business for royalties?I WISH this were a joke, but if you've followed local news of late (I RARELY do, actually...wow, I paid attention to something...NEAT) then you've heard the "chuckler" of a headline: Steven Goodwin - one of the principle (ahem) "

How many times has somebody you know (or you, even) said "I hate shopping there, but sometimes you just HAVE to go there?" You KNOW where "there" is... and so I don't get in trouble for trashing (big box retailer), they'll remain nameless; but when I tell you about my most recent visit to (big box retailer), you'll INSTANTLY know the place I'm talking about - and it has NOTHING to do with (big

So I already KNEW 'Battlestar Galactica' was only going to run for four seasons (they actually call this 'season 4.5 since they did two "half" seasons with a ridiculous long break between 'em), and that my Friday night staple (lame, eh?) would come to a close this month. What I WASN'T aware of, until last night, was that my Wednesday fix, "LIfe on Mars," was dead on arrival. Next week's the

So I tried, desperately, to grab a nap/power-nap before going to see FLO RIDA at Club Kryptonite last night; and failed miserably. Damn you, Jack Bauer, with your powers to keep my interest (despite knowing I was rolling the DVR anyhow). Either way, I was REALLY looking forward to this show, for some reason.Now those of you that KNOW me know I'm about as white a guy as there is - so consider

Alright, so call me a "parade snob," but I'm gonna share some thoughts, post-St. Patrick's Day Parade. 1. Who's idea was it to start a parade at 9am on a Saturday? With one setting of the time, you've now ruined Friday night (as if I make plans and go out, but STILL) and now Saturday morning. Consider 10 or 11, in the future, maybe? :) 2.

Wow, if I took the title of this entry to heart, this could be a steamy blog entry, right? :) Uncover your eyes, I'm keeping it PG, folks. When I get into conversations with folks about all things "pop culture," I find myself trying to "sell" something i know in my heart is quality, but that so few either know about or pay attention to.

And being pissed at yourself is no fun, 'cause ya wanna holler at SOMEbody, but hollering atyourself makes people thnk you're N-U-T-S (or confirms it for those that already had a hunch).So today is odd, in that I got out of bed about 90 minutes early AND I overslept.

This being my first entry, I figured I'd go ahead and get that out of the way.So here's what's rattling around in my head, today.So it's apparent this economic slow-down's going to be a bit longer than just a few months.
