Welcome to another week in Bogworld. 

First a bit of a rant. I dont want to get sued but there is this delivery service who’s name rhymes with Zed-Ex (I changed the name so they dont sue me). My only proof that they are a delivery service is that it says so on the side of their trucks and planes. But as for my personal experience, they have not successfully delivered anything to me in three years. Nothing. Not one.

I’m a normal American consumer. I buy a thingamajig or a whatsis from Amazon or Apple every now and then. And sometimes I unwittingly have to rely on Zed-Ex to bring me those somethings. I’ve even paid extra so they can rush the object to me. But no matter the case, the delivery guys fail to deliver.

I started to notice this about four years ago when I lived in a town house shared with a friend who owned a small yipping hyper dog. Nothing passed within 100 feet of the house without the little snorting pug dog alerting us. Nothing...

Welcome to another fun week in Bogworld. I had a pretty productive weekend so I am feeling particularly good today. Artists are funny that way. We can literally drive ourselves into depression just by being lazy. But our mood brightens right up when we lose ourselves in one of you projects.

For me its writing my second novel. I have been writing it on and off ever since the first one got completed. But novel writing is a marathon, not a sprint. Its takes months and months just to get the first draft banged out. That’s what I am doing. Banging out the first draft. This weekend I got a couple more chapters done. The creative juices are flowing again. Yay me!

I have the Grammys on the TV behind me. I think LL Cool J’s short but inspirational moment remembering Whitney Houston was wonderful. Maybe its because Whitney and I are the same age, I feel like she left us way too soon. But her life is also filled with important lessons for all of us. Lessons about squ...

Welcome to another week in Bogworld. And congratulations to the world champion New York Giants. Its rare that the football game is actually more entertaining than the commercials. But I think that was the case this year.

The two best commercials in my opinion were NBC’s celebration of themselves. The big song and dance number featuring all the stars of NBC’s shows. All of them singing and dancing...with the exception of the judges from the Voice (all superstar singers themselves) who get quickly passed by in a really funny move I thought. The other one was Hyundai’s demo of how fast their new coupe is by having a race with a cheetah. The car squeals away and the cheetah is released. But decides not to race but instead turns and runs down the guy that let him out of the cage. Good stuff.

Lamest commercial: Samsung. They seem to think a bigger clunkier phone with a stylus pen is some how exciting new technology. Umm, I had a palm back in the 90s. If I wan...
