St. Patrick’s Day: Stereotype Perpetuation and Green Sexism

20 Mar

Shamrock

I know that it’s belated, but I did want to wish you readers a happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I don’t have anything against the holiday per se.  I very much enjoy pounding corned beef and cabbage.  I love spending time with family.  My paternal grandmother’s birthday often times fell on St. Patrick’s Day.  BUT, I had the great displeasure of spending this past St. Patrick’s Day weekend Continue reading 

Happy New Year’s Eve From the SHH

31 Dec

Fireworks 2013

New Year’s Eve is a holiday that disappoints me year after year.  Not unlike Halloween, I get all amped up thinking I’m going to have an awesome time and then something inevitably goes awry.  I spent the majority of NYE 2004 Continue reading 

Three Christmas Albums That Don’t Blow

24 Dec

I have always liked Christmas as a holiday.  Gifts, booze, family–in the opposite order of course.  Though, I absolutely loathe pop Christmas music or pop artists covering classics.  For instance, I would happily Continue reading 

You Were Right, SHH. Online Dating Does Suck.

27 Oct

Eamonn is the third member of this site to weigh in on online dating…listen.

Somebody once told me that it was impossible to eat 5 saltines in one minute. I didn’t believe them until I almost asphyxiated on shards of gluten and salt that refused to move past my uvula.   I’ve seen youtube videos of people attempting to eat a spoonful of cinnamon; those people Continue reading

15 Sep

Any journalist who is worth their weight in salt (or shit for that matter) should have a notebook, journal or at the very least a pen with a pad of paper.  I have attended upwards of a dozen live shows this year and it wasn’t until a month ago that Continue reading 

RIP Special Agent Seagate

Life is filled with stress and many of life’s most stressful moments are a result of the loss of loved ones – the loss of a spouse, the loss of a parent, the loss of a child, the loss of Continue reading 

Wankin’ Willard?

19 Jul

Comic actor Fred Willard was arrested on suspicion of committing a “lewd act” at the XXX Tiki Theater in Hollywood on Wednesday night.  The 72-year-old actor was detained after a routine, uniformed LAPD inspection of the theater (yes, apparently pornographic theaters are patrolled routinely).

Aside:  I had no idea that XXX theaters still existed Continue reading 

American Imported Swedish Vodka

4 Jul

As some of you may or may not know, my birthday happens to coincide with America’s: the 4th of July.  You may have also noticed that there are longer gaps in between my posts.  I have been working more and writing less.  My apologies.  My sincerest apologies if you look to my website for regular, entertaining material.

You Can Have New Jersey, Bruce. We Want America Back.

1 Jul

Over the past four decades Bruce Springsteen has become synonymous with “America.”  And that is bullshit.  He is the single most over-rated member of pop/rock royalty.  As we approach the 4th of July, the celebration of America’s independence, let us review some reasons why Bruce Springsteen is not only Continue reading
