France has given us the Statue of Liberty. Oui oui! Croissants. Bon appetit! The Louisiana Purchase. Buy low, sell high! Location, location, location! And Ty France of the San Diego Padres. Peu importe… Ty France was born in Downey, California, but the France name is of French origin, so a great, great, great, something something […]

I am Sam. I am Sam. Sam-I-An-tonacci. That Sam-I-An-tonaaci! That Sam-I-An-tonacci! I kind of like that Sam-I-An-tonaaci! Do you like speed with a sprinkle of power? I very much do like them, Sam-I-An-tonacci. I like speed with a sprinkle of power. Would you like them here or there? I would like them here and there. […]

Recently, I played in a home poker game with some parents from my son’s school. Yes, the son of Son. The boys went out roaming the neighborhood and ended up Ding Dong Ditching. Back in my day, a homeowner would open the door and channel their inner Walt Kowalski and yell, “Get off my lawn!” […]

When I decided to write up this piece, my mind immediately went to Rocawear. Roc…Joc…Yes, I’m a simple, simple man, but there are levels to the simplicity. Plus, I always get nostalgic about the late 90s, which was the golden age of hip hop. Anyways, Rocawear was huge back in the day. Maybe not Timberland’s […]

All I could think about when researching for this piece was….. Maybe I’m just a huge Boyz II Men fan. I am, but I started tearing up a bit that a player I have loved so much may be done, kaput, finished, expired. Ok, hyperbole much? Well, I am Korean so the drama flows through […]

I lived Fast and Furious before Fast and Furious. But I was never Dom, Brian, or Han. I was just some extra in the way, way background, standing and watching while my Civic was parked around the block; a Civic that was modified with rims, springs, exhaust, and other accessories, but no NOS, roll cage, […]

Back in 2023, citizens of Planet Earth rubbed the eye boogers away, got up, stretched, and touched grass as the World Health Organization officially declared the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Playing Civilization, I’d chuckle when I’d lose population and get the “Global Pandemic” notification – “This shit is so unrealistic!,” I’d voice to my […]

Up is down. Left is right. Good is evil. Perspective is often everything in life, except that pants with zipper pockets are essential. There is no other acceptable answer. Last in your fantasy league standings? Turn it upside down. Voila! Hate how you look in the mirror? Turn around! Terrorist or freedom fighter? Depends on […]

On October 26, 2001, Tyler Chase Dollander was born. “Tyler is so cute!” said family, friends, and admirers. As baby Tyler morphed from blob to actual human, the words became, “Tyler! Get down from there,” or “Tyler, turn off the PlayStation and eat!” Tyler this. Tyler that. Then Tyler started playing Little League and eventually […]

Change is not always good. I used to be a Bruce Lee-esque 185 pounds. Now? I’m a 250-pound, all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ grade of meat. But when in a state of despair, change is vital, even if it does not produce the best outcome. At least you give the universe a chance to work its magic, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Respect has always been an interesting concept for me. As a Korean American, I was brought up to always respect my elders and people in positions of authority. In high school, though, I would see older kids punking the younger ones under the guise of the “system.” That’s when it all broke down for me, […]

Normally, I try and emulate Grey with a funny, witty, 2nd-level intro, but all that results is an intro. That is why Grey is the GOAT. Luckily, the universe has provided everything for me this week. Jam On It was, is, and will forever be The Jam. And that is how Mauricio Dubon fans must […]
