Watch what you advertise
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Misc., Rants
I’m not really a ‘fancy watch’ kind of guy. I rarely dress up, and the few watches I’ve owned were Fossils that I liked but didn’t last longer than a year. Because, of course, FOSSIL WATCHES ARE CHEAP WATCHES. So I’ve never owned a watch that cost more than, say, $80. And I was okay [...]
It’s time for straight men to reclaim Kristin Chenoweth
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Misc., Rants
Alright men – specifically, straight men – listen up. This is Kristin Chenoweth:
She has become an icon in the gay community, and the majority of her fanbase is gay men…and this simply won’t do. Straight men, we are taking back Kristin Chenoweth. The reasons why we need to take action and reclaim her for ourselves [...]

Pretty sure I know why they fired Jeph Loeb from Heroes

There’s been a phrase that I’ve been repeating over and over the past couple of weeks while watching Heroes on NBC. And that phrase pretty much goes like this:

This season didn’t start out that bad. Not nearly as strong as the first season — which was damn good television up until the last five minutes [...]
The Worth of a Guarantee (a sad but true story)
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Misc., Rants
Internet problems. Not again. Not after everything I went through before, I thought.
