It shouldn’t be such a far flung idea, switching to the Metric system. Right now we do have more important things to deal with, but can’t we get the ball rolling finally on this whole Metric system thing? Continue Reading »

Not sure if you’ve seen this yet on national TV. A family that took what appear to be completely innocent bath time photos of their children were reported by a WalMart employee after seeing the photos (where the parents took the film to be developed).
I have ONE thing to say about this…
Why are they still shooting with film?
Shoot digital, get prints made in minutes with a great Canon inkjet photo printer, no weirdo, freako WalMart employees eyeballing your kids in the tub.
Moral of the story…shoot digital!

Here’s what’s going on in the country and the world: (And I’m not even covering half of it)
We have wildfires, unemployment, healthcare, recession, earthquake in indonesia, civil wars in Africa, protesting in PA, Iran, 2 wars in the Middle East , N. Korea, China, global warming, rising violent crime rates, swine flu, military contractor corruption…shall I continue?
So, with all of this REAL news going on in the world what does CNN show last night? For hours instead? Maybe I missed a larger news issue? What is this happening that would cause replays for hours over and over? Did terrorists attack somewhere again? Continue Reading »

Quentin outdoes himself with this one…the opening scene is unforgettable, the climax is unforgettable…and everything in between…The tension building, the back story, the rewards are well worth the ticket price.
And then there are the actors. I’m not sure if it’s fair to say it’s his best ability, but may I at least put forth that Mr. Tarantino has a gift when it comes to casting? From Brad to Mélanie and from Christoph to Eli, everyone was perfect.
This may have a been a semi-silly, obnoxious, Tarantino-style, WWII flick but it was also a dramatic, intense, revenge fantasy I won’t soon forget.

Reality TV is soooo over-stretched
VERY REAL Reality TV…Joan persists in pigeon-holing Annie until the squeaky wheel, and with blind loyalty from her supporters wins out. Par for the course, politics as usual in American Corporations. Performance again loses to politics. Another reason to love working for ones self, and another reason Corporate America is a failure.
What we witnessed this 8th season on Celebrity Apprentice was very realistic. It has also been my experience watching, co-workers, like children, bicker and fight until the “more popular” of them wins out among their peers. Be consistent, break someone down over time and gain popularity through friendship and humor. Being more effective in business, more experienced at the task at hand and more productive has nothing to do with it. Which is unfortunate, because it’s a business they’re both working for.

Bad Luck?
American culture truly is falling apart when an emotionally unstable individual named “Perez Hilton” dressed like a character from Mary Poppins throws the most deserving Miss USA a very controversial curve ball, ultimately costing her the crown. Continue Reading »

Considering the GOP and their corporate tax breaks, short-sighted policies of greed and gross, multi-pronged mismanagement of the economy. And! That it was their administration directly responsible for the financial meltdown we are all now drowning in…
I would say it’s a blessing and a sign that we are doing the right thing that these very people are almost entirely against the new economic stimulus package! Doesn’t that, by definition, mean it will work!? Continue Reading »

On May 25, 2008, several news organizations reported that militant Islamic groups may be recruiting mentally disturbed or disabled people to carry out suicide bombings.
Today, November 24, 2008, a mentally disabled female’s bomb vest was triggered by remote in Iraq killing 5 people just outside the Green Zone in Baghdad.
Despite biblical notions of demons and monsters and ’satanic combinations of numbers’…in case you’re still kept awake at night by those bedtime stories know there is a REAL EVIL out there. Continue Reading »

We here at ErixClix.com would like to congratulate America’s first African-American President. With the world and the country in turmoil, Obama’s policies, his vision and his calm yet confident leadership style are just the shot-in-the-arm America needs.
Again, congratulations, and God Bless America for having the courage to do the right thing…it’s about time!
