The Miracle Cure To Happiness
Mar 28th
Happy Friday everyone!
It’s been a busy week on this end with time being at a premium. Between a busy time of year at the office, my anniversary, a Zero Dark Thirty viewing (outstanding by the way – Jessica Chastain got robbed by the Academy), and my hockey team starting our playoff run, my days and evenings have been rather full. For those wondering I will be putting up my Cubs season preview over the weekend so it’s served to you fresh on Monday morning – aka Opening Day – or one of my favorite days of the year. I’ve been to More >

The Remote Must Have Stopped Working – Part 2
Mar 22nd
Welcome to part 2 of the Chi-Guy family TV movie-a-thon. For those who missed part 1 I’d encourage you to start here. The premise of this exercise is to bring to light the movies that, as you’re scrolling through the TV menu, bring you to a stop at any time of day, during any point of the film. Certain movies just have that magnetism to them that will draw you in like a tractor beam from which your powers of resistance are futile. I think you can tell a lot about a person based on the list they would submit under this More >
The Remote Must Have Stopped Working
Mar 19th
This week The Wife & I are going tag team style. As noted below, she came across a list of Movies That Cause Your Remote To Stop Working while fipping through the channels. What this means is we’re looking for movies that no matter what point you come across them you stop what you’re doing and jump right back into their story line. This idea has spawned several conversations at the Chi-Guy household since with the only resolution being each of us submitting our final top ten. Please enjoy The Wife’s submission below and come back on Friday for my More >

May The 2012-13 Bulls RIP
Mar 17th
I don’t understand the state of the fans of the Chicago Bulls these days. As the greater Chicagoland area lives and dies with the latest voice-to-talk-the-loudest about the state of Derrick Rose’s knee, my question to everyone is, what exactly were your expectations coming into this year?
I haven’t invested many words nor many viewing hours in the 2012-13 Chicago Bulls as I feel as though I’ve used the space that has been dedicated to them to make my stance quite clear (for the uninitiated please see here and here). This year was not to be for our fair basketball team. I More >

I know I already did my Friday Fun column for today but this thing of beauty just came into my world and I would be remiss to not share it with the masses. I don’t like to use words like “ever” or “love” loosely but dear god, this literally may be the greatest thing I have ever found on YouTube. The internet is fucking fantastic sometimes.
It is my distinguished honor to present to you the 2013 Minnesota State High School All Hockey Hair Team…
It also appears there are entries for 2012, 2011 & potentially beyond. I just went from six to midnight. More >
Well Hell…
Mar 14th
It’s been a fun week but one that has not left much time for typing. Fear not however as I have some good stuff on the way for you in the week to come. We’re talking ground breaking shit here. In the meantime I thought I’d hype up the video below a little more than the eleven million other people who have seen it could. I’m not a fan of NASCAR and I don’t drink Pepsi but on both accounts I pass my kudos here.
Enjoy the video, come back next week, and thank you as always for reading.
Happy Friday everyone!!!

Think About It
Mar 12th
By the time you read this I will be 32 years old. I was thinking about it today and find it interesting how exactly half a lifetime ago I could not have been more excited for the calendar to flip to todays date. It was the beginning of my freedom and independence. Today? I think I’ve got some bills to pay after putting out the garbarge. My how times have changed. I couldn’t be happier mind you, I have a lovely wife, a beautiful daughter, a dog, a house, and all the warrants that are out for my arrest are More >
It’s Not That I’m Not Interested In What You’re Saying…
Mar 10th
As a general rule of thumb there are certain topics that, while often pertinent and personal to you, I think I speak for the general populace at large in saying that you can save your breath as the vast majority of us have very little interest in hearing unsolicited stories about your experience with any of the following:
- The fact that you’re a vegan
- Your religion
- The details of your fantasy football/baseball/basketball team
- How your diet is going
- The fact that you don’t watch TV
- Your gambling won/loss history
- Any description of what you were wearing (unless comical)
- An overly detailed account of what you ate recently (having pictures of More >
The DH Is D-U-M-B
Mar 8th
Earlier this year, after the baseball winter meetings had completed, and with a large majority of the marquee free agents having found new homes, the baseball writers of the world were left in the lurch as to how to fill their respective columns. For some reason the subject moved to whether the National League should adopt the designated hitter or not, and so the pontification began.
Due to my complete lack of a research department I’m going to take the word of Brett Taylor (the excellent mind behind Cubs super fan site BleacherNation.com and @BleacherNation) and trace the beginning of the discussion More >
