I Blame the Gremlins
Written by Ross Cavins   
Sunday, 11 May 2008

Gismo.
Cute and Cuddly Gismo. Wus.
When I was younger, much younger, the movie "Gremlins " was released.  I was twelve when we went to see it in the theatre and let me tell you, this was not a movie for kids.

It was a horror film.

I know Spike laughed all the time, and he seemed to generally be goofing around at first.  But that was only until he began killing anything that moved.  And he didn't just kill, he killed with wild glee.  He blew people up and lit them on fire.  He even killed his evil Gremlin buddies and laughed about it.

My First Date
Written by Ross Cavins   
Monday, 05 May 2008

ImageEveryone remembers their first date.  It's a special experience that you never forget.  Like your first real kiss.  Or your first car.  Or your first computer.

My first date was with Angela Smith.  We were both fifteen and went to different schools.  That's how I got the date, she didn't know I was a nerd.  

We met in MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship), the youth group at our church.  Her parents had just started attending the church in our neighborhood and to her, I was just another guy.  She didn't know any better.

(NOTE:  Let me break in a second here.  From reading my blog, if you actually do with any regularity, you've no doubt seen nothing remotely religious.  If anything, I've written satirical pieces on organized religion because at some point in my senior year of high school, I quit organized religion forever.  I didn't change as a person, I just no longer allowed hypocrites to dictate to me how they thought I should lead my life.  Before you blast me, not all people who follow organized religion are hypocrites.  Let's get back to the story ...)

The Last Milli Vanilli Fan

Milli Vanilli
Blame it on the Producer.
Back in the spring of 1989 when Milli Vanilli released their smash Album, Girl You Know It's True, a friend of mine introduced them to me.  I made a copy of her cassette (life before CDs in my world) and practically wore it out in my tape deck.  It was one of the first CDs I eventually bought when I got a CD player.

The album was great driving music.  I jammed to it many a time on my commute to and from my retail job at Sears that summer.  My senior year of high school followed in the fall and I began a lot of my mornings with Milli Vanilli's peppy, infectious tunes.  It helped get me through that final year.

It was also great party music.  It seemed that everywhere I went that summer, a Milli Vanilli song made it into the music rotation.  The album is easy to listen to and easy to dance to, even for a disjointed white boy like myself.

Dre Not As Good As Cube

ImageYeah, you heard me right: Dre not as good as Cube.  I overheard this the other day out in public.  I don't know about you but I didn't need to hear any more.  What witticism can you follow this up with anyway?

Any actual conversation that follows would be pale in comparison to one you could imagine.  This is as classic as saying Coke not as good as Pepsi.  Or Ford not as good as Chevy.

Dre not as good as Cube.
