It’s the Economy Stupid… I Think.
I’m neither an economist nor a philosopher. Over analyzing and deep thought are not particularly my thing. I’m more of a cut and dry kind of person. That said, here’s my analysis of the economy. It’s only as bad as we think it is. Who’s with me? The problem we face in society today is that news... »
Lugar – It Means Real Estate
This week I launched my own real estate company. In naming the company, I went the straight forward route of using my last name and the putting the words “Real Estate” after it. Thus I came up with Lugar Real Estate, LLC. Of course shortly after completing all the licensing for the business,... »
Jack is a nickname for John
Wake up people! Not that you really care, but Jack is a nickname for John. It drives me crazy that so many people don’t know that. If I had a buck for every time I’ve had to explain that Jack is a nickname for John, I’d be… well, not rich, but I’d have more... »

Saints vs. Colts in Super Bowl XLIV

While I had imagined a “Perfect Bowl” (I created that term) between an undefeated Colts and undefeated Saints, slightly imperfect Colts and Saints teams will have to do. By the end of the NFC Championship game, it actually seemed like a contest... »
Super Bowl XLIV
Before the season started, I wasn’t too sure the Colts were ready to return to the Super Bowl. Now, in hindsight, I’m not sure what I was so concerned about. I’m not saying that I should have known from the beginning that the Colts would return to the Super Bowl, but I... »
Looks Who’s Making a Grill Now
First there was George Foreman with his grill. Now Hulk Hogan’s offering a new and improved version. What’s next? The Kimbo Slice-o-matic? »
The Rules of Urinal Etiquette
I can only speak from a guys perspective, but when it comes to public bathrooms (men’s specifically), there is a urinal etiquette. The following is a guide I have created so you don’t misrepresent yourself in the men’s bathroom. Rule 1 – The Rule of Three: If there are three urinals, you must choose the... »
The Nearly Perfect Bowl
Unfortunately, my quest for The Perfect Bowl disappeared last Saturday. It was fun while it lasted. Now I’m on to The Nearly Perfect Bowl. My hope is that the Colts will continue their winning streak all the way through the Super Bowl. Today the Colts play the Jets. While any team can beat another most... »
