Aaah yes, is there truly any thing in life more creamy and delicious than a tasty “Shaved Slit”?? (more…)

When I first began the Body For Life program, one of my main concerns was the ability to maintain the diet. 

The diet in BFL basically revolves around having six small meals per day; each one includes a serving of protein, and a serving of carbohydrate.  Twice a day, you include a serving of vegetables.  Once a day, you also have a serving of ‘healthy fat’.  (more…)

The Bravery - Self Titled

*Reprinted from Cash’s “Runners Up” to the Top 5 of 2005 list

Neu-wave Cure-a-likes that make it sound fun and fresh even though the sounds are decidedly dated.  How could I  say no to a band that uses the lyric:

‘you put the broke in, broken hearted, you put the art in, retarded’? 

Answer: I can’t.  A solid, consistently enjoyable disc.

Standouts:

• An honest mistake
• Public service announcement
• Unconditional

I want you to think about something for a minute.  I want you to remember a time when you were talking to a stranger, or someone you barely knew. 

Think back on that mandatory awkwardness that seems to surround these obligatory conversations. The insipid topics discussed (Oh yes, the weather IS quite hot today!) and how you felt in that moment.  (more…)

I know what you’re thinking. 

“EVERYBODY drinks for free in Vegas, Cash, what could you possibly teach me?”. 

While this may be true in theory, the reality is often a different story entirely.  (more…)

Blackjack..Booze…And new music. 

Basically, it’s my holy trinity of favorite pursuits.

A few times a year, those in my inner circle are blessed with a mix that typically highlights some new additions to my collection, an old favorite or two, and some rare goodies I’ve been dying to share. (more…)

As I sit here, drenched in sweat, trembling, and short of breath after one of the most intense cardio workouts in recent memory, I’m reminded of the feeling at the conclusion to last night’s stellar Muse show at the Fillmore.

If energy is contagious, Muse is on a mission to infect the world. (more…)

Bloc Party - Silent alarm

*Reprinted from Cash’s “Runners Up” to the Top 5 of 2005 list

South london art-punksters bloc party deliver a stuccato assult on the senses with their debut album silent alarm.  With influences which seem to include everything from Joy Division and early Cure to the Pixies and maybe even Sonic Youth, the songs are tight, fast paced explorations of suburban dissociation, expired love and pop culture.

Dance-tastic.

Standouts:

• Banquet
• This modern love
• She’s hearing voices

A review of the new Mog music / social networking service

To say I dislike MySpace is to say Kevin Federline is just mildly retarded.  It’s an exercise in understatement.  From the uber-hipster culture that drives its continual growth to the astoundingly annoying inline music, videos and horrible asthetics of various customizations from hell (do you really think a 1072×800 neon green picture of Hello Kitty, repeated 14 times across your flaming yellow background and pushing your comments out into the margin of the screen is really a great idea?), let me be clear:

I cannot stand MySpace. (more…)
