There’s weirdness in the air.  A sense of danger, perhaps.  Foreboding thoughts and visions flutter through the airs like the ghosts of nightmares long since dissipated.  In the shadows lurk mysterious figures wearing masks and obscured by hoods.   This is no ordinary Friday, this is a particularly special Friday.  Today is Friday the 13th, but it’s so much more than your average Friday the 13th, as if that could be considered normal and safe.  Today is Friday the 13th and tonight is a full moon, so be prepared for double craziness.

Of course, not all Friday the 13th events are bad.  Sometimes good things happen on Friday the 13th, but it seems like the day is more bad than good.  Rather than going out and joining friends and foes alike in The Purge-like warfare in the streets, tonight might be a good night to go up into the attic and play with that Ouija board, or perhaps go down into the cellar and read from the Necronomicon by candle-light.  You know, safe indoor activities, than going out to the cemetery to conduct your forbidden rituals.

If you make it through the day unscathed, don’t worry about repeating it any time soon.  This will be the last Friday the 13th full moon until 2049, so you’ll get some breathing room.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
