I was browsing thru an old LiveJournal that I used to keep way back in 2000 and stumbled across the following entry regarding a friend who committed suicide. It still hurts thinking of it even after all these years. I hope this helps someone out there. Suicide I just found out that an old friend…
Image via Wikipedia While looking at the latest medal count for the 2008 Olympics I wondered what the totals would look like if Russia were re-united with all of its little brethren. Would the USA still be winning the total medal count? The answer is a resounding Nyet! Thanks to my good friend Adam…
Rulon Gardner always comes to mind whenever the summer games roll around. He pulled off one of the greatest upsets in sports history, not just Olympic history. He was the American wrestler that shocked the world when he defeated the Russian wrestler Alexander Karelin who was undefeated in 13 years of international competition. The Russian…

Green Card (1990) is a smart, touching love story. Andie MacDowell and Gérard Depardieu were perfect as the mismatched couple thrown together by fate and destiny. Both characters had their reasons for putting up with the other but in the end they discovered much to their horror that they had fallen for them. The mark…
I watched Michael Phelps win his 8th gold medal of the 2008 Olympics tonight, thus breaking the record of seven Gold medals in a single Olympics set by Mark Spitz in 1972! It was another close race but Phelps put the USA in the lead on the third leg of the race and Lezac brought…
