Wallace Stevens’s Earthy Anecdote Analysis
In “Earthy Anecdote”, Stevens presents his readership with an essential element of human existence, change. “Every time the bucks went clattering / Over Oklahoma / A firecat bristled in the way”.

Robert Zemeckis
Robert Zemeckis is a very talented director, as well as a writer and producer. I chose Zemeckis because of the Back to the Future Trilogy. I love all the Back to the Future movies, and picked Zemeckis solely based on the Back to the Future movies, not having a clue of the impact Zemeckis has [...]
Charles Barkley
The Wikipedia page on Charles Barkley is an absolute shame. Statistically speaking Barkley’s Wiki is spot on, all encompassing and serves one of the NBAs 50 Greatest Players of All Time justice. Barkley transcends his sports career and to only mention him as an athlete is doing him injustice. Imagine if the Wikipedia page for [...]

California Economic Crisis
“The Californication of the Democratic Party carries all sorts of risks. The most obvious is that California has the most dysfunctional politics in the country. The Golden State has one of the highest unemployment rates in America, at 9.3%, thanks to its high taxes, its unions, its anti-business climate and its gigantic housing bubble. Some [...]
Full House
Before we read the article on Full House, I would like to display a note from the thedailycontributor.com’s owner & CEO that arrived in my email box when he found out a post on Full House was coming:

Most people I’ve met in San Diego are not originally from San Diego. Talking to other East-Coast-natives, here are the top 10 reasons you’re currently living in San Diego but are originally from the East Coast:

Shakespeare Sonnet 116 Analysis
William Shakespeare, sonnet 116 analysis, paraphrase, translation
In sonnet 116, Shakespeare clearly defines the nature of true love. His definition of love states that love does not change, grow old, and is everlasting. While defining his criteria of love throughout sonnet 116, Shakespeare tells us what love is, and what love is not.

Slumdog Millionaire Movie Review
Slumdog Millionaire, movie review, trailer, soundtrack, watch online, wikipedia
Slumdog Millionaire is skillful entertainment with the simple message that the most intense life experiences yield the greatest education. Indie brit director Danny Boyle’s feature draws the viewer in, immersing him in a fast-moving, engaging narrative featuring a protagonist who is so likable it’s almost unfair.
It works [...]
Super Mario Kart
On September 1st, 1992 the video game world would never be the same. A seemingly innocent go-kart racing game would change my life, and the life of many others, forever. According to Wikipedia, Super Mario Kart sold “eight million copies worldwide, the game went on to become the third best selling SNES game of all [...]
What Men Should Think About Women
Men can be notorious over-thinkers and shoot themselves in the foot because of it. The sooner men realize that women want the same thing as we do the better. If you see a girl that you want to talk to, talk to her. Men should take their attitudes and disciplines towards playing sports and apply [...]
Pizzeria Luigi in San Diego, California
There is a lot of truth to the following statement: Pizza is not as good on the West Coast as it is on the East Coast. In fact, that’s a very, very true statement. Pizza, and food in general, is better on the East Coast. However, virtually everything else is better out here. Talk to [...]
Kevin Harlan
In addition to Kevin Harlan being an extremely intelligent play-by-play announcer, Harlan has one of the greatest voices out there today. Although Marv Albert wins the nostalgia war over Harlan, Harlan’s voice is far superior. Kevin Harlan also has an arsenal of very creative and original lines. Thank you Wikipedia for noting that some of [...]
Top 10 Ways to Settle an argument
settle an argument, how to, settlers
You just really never know these days. I can think of a time when disputes were settled the old fashion way. I’m not talking about standing back to back, taking 10 steps, turning and firing. I’m talking about 1980s sitcoms - two kids get into a scuffle at school and [...]
