It's unbelievable how long it's been since I posted anything. I bet you are all relieved to see this post when you checked. I can only imagine how excited you are to finally read something new from your favorite blogger. Then again, I hate to think about how disappointed you are going to be when you finish.This has been a transitional time in my life and I'd love to tell you all about it. But

Wow, it has been a really long time since I have written anything. How dare life infringe upon my hobby. That's right, I have a life. I actually do things, like go outside, talk to people, go to movies and have fun. It just seems that the nicer the weather gets, the less likely it is that I take the time to write. Oh well, I guess you are going to have to deal with it.Wait, wait, don't go.

So I am sitting here watching John Stewart making fun of the media coverage of Anna Nicole Smith. Is he a little late or what? Good ole rebeleyeball started off on this last week. I knew he was stealing my material. Everyone steals my stuff, man. I am thinking about getting Sirius satellite just to see how much Howard Stern has been ripping me off. You know "The King of All Media" ran out

I got absolutely nothing to say. Can you believe it? I have been ignoring this blog for months. I even tried to apologize. But that didn't help. It just sits out there mocking me. Taunting me. It visits me in my dreams and laughs at me because I have nothing interesting to say and even if I did nobody is reading anyway. Not exactly what I had in mind when I started blogging over a year

I started out writing a blog about our pathetic president and the war. Then I went, eh. It's obvious that not many people actually give a shit. So why yammer on about a topic that bores people stiff. Instead I decided to bore you stiff with another rambling post that doesn't have a specific topic.You know what I mean, one of those riveting posts in which I absolutely astound you with my

Driving sucks. Seriously. Think about how much time we spend in our cars. In order to cut down on that complete waste of time, some of us take matters into our own hands. What I mean is, we tend to cut corners. Some of us ignore speed limits, others refuse to heed solid white lines, yet others tend to roll through stop signs and some of us literally cut corners.So there I was, running late

There were other big news stories today, but you would never know it if you relied on network and cable news outlets. At seven o'clock this morning, I turned on MSNBC and the lead story was the untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith. Wanting to see what else was happening, I switched to NBC, Anna Nicole Smith. ABC, CBS, CNN and Fox News - same story. Give me a freaking break would ya? Nothing

Have you missed me as much as I have missed you, my lovely little blog. Please don't cry, I didn't mean to ignore you. Come on, please? Dry those eyes. Your know I still love you, just sometimes the rebeleyeball has to go to work. Yes, I do know how tough it is on you. But at least you get to hang out with all the other blogs online while I am busy working. Yes, I do to work. What? You

What a first quarter? It was high energy, sloppy with turnovers and just one penalty. Then what the hell happened? It was a blow out that wasn't a blow out. Did the Bears really belong there? And was that really the Colts? Jeez, every Adam Viniteri missed a freaking field goal.Seriously, the game was worse than one of my blogs about dirty words. Or maybe this blog. Ugh...do I really want

Oh my goodness, I had no idea that there are blogs out there that actually have cursing on them. I am shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED! Apparently, there are several people out there that were offended by my little tirade against the media talking heads Wolf Blitzer is a big fat pussy. Seems that using "pussy" and "bullshit" in the same post is way too much for some people.Although I do ascribe to

Check this out. rebeleyeball.com is available in several different langauges. That's right, baby. Is that cool or what? Apparently, it is the "translate" function that is available on Google. I had no idea until today when I was looking at at my stats and I saw that one of my readers had translated my page into Italian. Since I cannot read or speak Italian, I had no idea if it was a decent

Okay, yeah so I am a shameless shill - you got a problem with that? Oh, you do - damn. I was hoping you'd let it slide. Actually, I was really hoping that you would click on the banner and join Send Earnings. I know it sounds stupid, but what the heck - they really do pay you just to open an email.

Yes, it's true. I have been getting back to running. Finally, I tackled the arduous task of repairing my treadmill. It took me nearly fifteen minutes, but it was well worth the effort. Additionally, I have been scaring the crap out of people at the gym once again. If you have no idea what I am talking about, then you haven't been reading my stuff. In the past, I would point you to it. But

And so are all the other so called "journalist" on the idiot box. Seriously, what is up with these people? This evening I heard an excerpt of Wolfie's so-called interview with Dick Cheney on NPR. The last statement that Mr. VP made was that the world is much safer since the US ousted Sadaam Hussien. Care to guess Mr. Blitzer’s response. It went something like this “uuhhh….”How difficult is

Are you bored yet? Tired of the same ole, same ole on www.rebeleyeball.com? Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a bit. Occasionally, I have come through with a humorous anecdote from my days as the King of Karaoke or a long maudlin tome about my proud heritage. I have even slipped in a few dream sequences. And who could ever forget my endeavor to come across as a paranoid conspiracy theorist?Hey,

As promised, here is a little information about the eyeball clan. The first thing that needs to be said is none of the members are actually related by blood. Although at times, it seems that we are much closer than relatives. In an earlier post, I described the origin of the Eyeball. The fact is, by the time the eyeball entered our lives we were already linked for life. Mr. Eyeball, an

Like many best laid plans, my idea for how I was going to spend the evening went awry (How many opportunities have you had to work the word "awry" into a sentence? Am I good or what?). This evening I was going to enlighten you as to the identities of the rest of the Eyeball Clan, Mr. Eyeball, Eyeball Mama, Analytical Eyeball, Chatty Eyeball and, of course, the Eyeball Queen. Instead, I fell

Lately, I have been putting a great deal of time into improving my template. Really, I am still writing. Eventually, I may even post a new chapter to "I'm Nuts". I have been thinking about it and I think I am pretty close to going off on a writing tear. If you have checked in the past few days, you may have noticed that the template keeps changing. It's infuriating that everytime I think I

Once again, I am just stunned. Even though I knew exactly what the Prez was going to say, I am still very disheartened. As you know, I have been against the war before it started and I think we need to get out now. Funny thing, I use to have a blog called "Left Over Right" where I posted my more political thoughts. I ended it almost six months ago because I didn't have time to deal with

Ah, nothing like Christmas at the beach. Okay, so it was three days before Christmas, but it was still very, very cool. We took this picture on our drive down Highway 101 in California.
