However, I'm not one to visit any exotic or distant lands. My vacations usually consist of visiting friends in Chicago or Austin. I'm happy to hang out, experience some local events and have a good time. If it's not one of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~491956571780 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:21:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_491956571780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_491174530692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - Sometimes fun and logic doesn't go hand in hand when it comes to motion pictures. While a film may be completely authentic or realistic it's quite possible that it could be as boring as watching paint dry. Other times, if you throw logic out the window,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~491174530692 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:18:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_491174530692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_485867425412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - Let's be honest, work can get boring at times. Sure, you don't like to admit it, but you'll spend your slow time searching the internet for the latest Lindsay Lohan news or information on which third receiver you should pick up for your fantasy team when... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~485867425412 Wed, 4 Nov 2009 15:45:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_485867425412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_490321186436?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - Certainly there are some bands that are an acquired taste. And, without a doubt, Built To Spill is one of them. You most likely aren't going to be able to pop in one of their discs and instantly be hooked, especially if it is one of their earlier... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~490321186436 Mon, 2 Nov 2009 13:32:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_490321186436?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_484202286724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - In most cases, science fiction films pose any interesting dilemma for the filmmaker. It's always a fine line that must be carefully balanced between reality and fantasy. If you step too far into the fantasy realm, the film can turn out amateurish and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~484202286724 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:33:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_484202286724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_483545222788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - I guess I need to admit that I am a sucker for novelty cases. When I was younger and had a retainer, I opted for a turtle shaped case to hold it rather than the standard and boring type cases that were so prevalent at my middle school. What can I say, I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~483545222788 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:07:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_483545222788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_483749498500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - Horror films are definitely not my cup of tea. In fact, I don't really like tea either. But, I do enjoy thrillers/suspense films. Sure the scope of thrillers/suspense flicks is pretty large, while horror films are very specific except for the Scream... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~483749498500 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:39:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_483749498500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_483262303876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - There probably isn't a genre of film that I dislike more than romantic comedies. They are almost also predictable and boring. Sadly, in most cases, they are extremely misogynistic which always make their appeal all the more puzzling to me. For every... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~483262303876 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:43:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_483262303876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_476472381060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - I am not what could be described as a "good eater." My tastes are actually very simple. I love Mexican food and pizza. And, if you have something with cheese in it, I'm sure to like that as well. Oh sure, I enjoy a good steak, but usually only for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~476472381060 Tue, 8 Sep 2009 15:01:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_476472381060?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_479930912388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - Deep in the heart of Texas we drink a lot. Now, don't get concerned, it's not just beer that we drink here. We drink everything...water, tea, soda, juice and plenty of other things. When the temperature consistently hovers around the 100 degree mark in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~479930912388 Thu, 3 Sep 2009 14:25:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_479930912388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_480280546948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - I make no apologies for my love of Star Wars. However, I'm not one to enjoy something simply because it includes Darth Vader or randomly mentions Greedo. For every funny Kevin Smith allusion to the Star Wars universe or background reference on The... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~480280546948 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:45:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_480280546948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_480695193220?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - There has probably never been a more entertaining, yet totally implausible television show as Prison Break. What started off as a simple thrill ride watching a group of cons attempting to escape from captivity, twisted and turned into a full out manhunt,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~480695193220 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:39:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_480695193220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_480038784644?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - I am the first to admit that Modest Mouse is not for everyone. Sure, Float On was catchy enough for almost everyone to love even after the 137th time you heard it. But, go see Modest Mouse in concert or pick up one of their older, less polished releases... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~480038784644 Fri, 7 Aug 2009 12:24:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_480038784644?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_479898340996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - I usually find going to the movies to be an enjoyable experience. Sure, sometimes the film is bad, but at least I got out of the house and spent some time with my friends or loved ones. Other times, the film is wonderful and a truly entertaining... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~479898340996 Mon, 3 Aug 2009 13:53:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_479898340996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_478731079300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - A long time ago, in a bedroom far, far away...actually, not that far away, just upstairs at my house. I stumbled upon a television show on the Cartoon Network called Robot Chicken. Now, I was aware of the show, but had never watched it. However, I was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~478731079300 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:12:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_478731079300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_478338780804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - Computer laptops are a wonderful thing. They are portable, convenient and powerful. Although, with those characteristics come a few problems. First and foremost is how to transport the thing. With the proliferation of WiFi at so many places, I like to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~478338780804 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:21:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_478338780804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_477604384388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - I am the first to admit that I am not a "Do It Yourselfer." I guess the problem is that while I certainly don't have the skills to do much home improvement, I also don't really have the desire. I always look at money as the barrier to completing any... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~477604384388 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 15:07:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_477604384388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_477467348612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - If you live in Texas, it's pretty much required that you enjoy Mexican food. Luckily, I'm able to meet the requirements. Sadly, one of the others...enjoying seafood, I don't really meet. Well, lobster is wonderful and crawfish are great, but there's a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~477467348612 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:16:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_477467348612?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_476585168516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - How in the world did I make it as a kid without a noodle to entertain me in the pool? Oh wait, we had those cool inflatable rafts that actually held your drink in the various holes located all over the entire raft. But, to be honest, water usually got in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~476585168516 Tue, 7 Jul 2009 15:38:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_476585168516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_476457766532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - OK, I first must admit that The Proposal is not a movie that aims for me as its target audience. I am a 35 year old male who certainly doesn't seek out romantic comedies on a regular basis. But, when your girlfriend starts making demands,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~476457766532 Mon, 6 Jul 2009 15:00:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_476457766532?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_476003995268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - There's no doubt that as I get older I'm forgetting things. But, not important things like the starting lineup of the 1986 Mets or who played Ben Dover in Fletch Lives (Randall "Tex" Cobb for those curious individuals out there). If you want the Mets... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~476003995268 Thu, 2 Jul 2009 14:09:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_476003995268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_475077709444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - Sometimes reunions can be a pleasant thing...a family get together at the lake, the long rumored Arrested Development film or the brothers Robinson burying the hatchet and reforming the Black Crowes. Other times, they can leave a lot to be desired...a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~475077709444 Thu, 2 Jul 2009 11:37:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_475077709444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_475207995012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - The Playmates Simpsons World Of Springfield action figure collection has been one of my favorite collectable releases over the years. There have been so many great figures featured in the collection that it's hard to remember them all.

I do remember playing with one over the course of my life, but I seem to recall being at friend's houses or maybe even Toys R Us when I manipulated his little face parts... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~475214876292 Wed, 1 Jul 2009 12:07:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_475214876292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_475072401028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chad8246 - Like the mighty Phoenix I have risen to write again. To be honest, I'm not quite sure if I'll get back into the full swing of writing again. But, work has been slower recently, as has been my life in general.
