Hulk Hogan acts like an ass and cheats on his wife
March 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
Anyone who has lived in Clearwater more than two weeks has a Hulk Hogan story. Mine involves the time he threw a hissy fit because the video store I worked at didn’t have Mr. Nanny in stock. “I’m a huge local celebrity” he said, “that thing would fly off the shelves.”
OK, Thunder in Paradise.
Anyway, […]

March 2nd, 2008 · No Comments
16 people each day die waiting for an organ transplant.
Luckily, the Mayor of Seminole wasn’t one of them.
But think about it- 16 people will die today waiting for a transplant. It’s a number that is shocking because everyone knows about organ donation. Still, most people don’t take the time to make their wishes knows. It’s […]

Things to do in Tampa Bay this weekend
February 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments
After a lot of debate, I decided to organize this weekend’s events by their cost. I know that money is a pretty big concern for people our age, especially with the rising cost of… everything. This way you can quickly find fun events that fit in your price range.
Keep in mind that the prices I […]

Lunsford Lawsuit: $100,000 buys a lot of hats
February 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment
I usually keep my Mark Lunsford snark to myself. Yes, the guy went to court rocking the above outfit (dead daughter’s picture on his tie and baseball cap) but it isn’t like he asked to be in the spotlight. What happened to his daughter is a tragedy that nobody should have to go through.

Tampa Bay is having a blood crisis. Right now Florida Blood Services has less than a 2 day supply of types A-, B-, O- and AB- blood. Keep in mind, that 2 day estimate is based on normal usage. One unexpected disaster could wipe it out totally.
I’m a regular blood donor and it is quick, […]
