Paulina Rubio and Kelly Rowland Join X-Factor

It was announced officially today that Paulina Rubio and Kelly Rowland would be joining Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato on the X-Factor judging bench.  And I have to say….I’m very underwhelmed.  Not because they arent big stars.  They are certainly well qualified enough in that aspect alone.  But I just struggle to [...]

Rob Gronkowski Needs 4th Surgery

How times have changed for the Gronk.  Once the invincible, party-going superhuman, all it took was a freak accident on November 18, 2012 against the Colts to obliterate his once impenetrable aura of durability.  Since that time, he’s broken the arm again (in the divisional round of the playoffs against the Texans) [...]

Meeting Tavita Woodard

There’s a lot to love about the BJ Penn Gym.  And in truth, most involve making sure that my fatass stays in shape through a variety of sweat-inducing exercises.  But there is one very key, albeit unexpected, benefit (and one that does not get advertised when you sign up.)  The [...]

Sergio Garcia Proves He’s the Village Idiot

To a certain extent, Sergio Garcia was once upon a time a sympathetic sports figure.  Sure he makes millions and millions of dollars and is supremely talented at his craft.  And yet like anyone else, save for the most headstrong of us, he buckles under the pressure of expectations.  This [...]

Japonespanol is a Real Thing

And the fact that it is proves the brilliance that is Judith Hill.  Every season I do this.  I get attached to a particular contestant on a show and then blog over and over and over about how amazing they are.  And I’m not sorry.  Bask in my obsession!   [...]

Oklahoma Tornado

Tornado Strikes Oklahoma

Normally I try to stay away from this kind of event as a writer.  Covering tragedy is a very…specific type of journalism and I don’t feel that I have the requisite skill set to do it effectively.  Still, as more and more news comes out of Oklahoma, I find myself [...]

Wahine Softball’s End to Successful Season

Kaia Parnaby ended her illustrious UH career today in a loss to the University of Washington, finishing with a 39-8 record overall (which is insane.)  I know very little about the intricacies of softball beyond its generic overlaps with baseball (which I also know very little about.)  Still, UH softball [...]
