3 weeks ago Zack Galifianakis hosted SNL this weekend, and I laughed. Saturday Nigh Live has become so "hit and miss" lately, but this "Game of Game of Thrones" skit was a good one.
The iconic George Jones was laid to rest in Nashville Thursday (May 2), but he will not be forgotten. In the week following his death, Jones' album sales have increased a whopping 1000 %, which is a sweet tribute to the singer's phenomenal influence on country music.
Some people express confusion over Americans celebrating Cinco de Mayo, when it's not even that big of a deal in Mexico. We express confusion over people turning down an excuse to eat tacos and sip tequila until the sun comes up/you've gone cross-eyed. Not to mention, did you see that photo? That is a capybara wearing a fake mustache. We rest our case.
It’s May and that means that soon we’ll be celebrating our Mexican heritage, much like we all celebrate our Irish heritage in March…even when we have neither. Cinco de Mayo is a great excuse to leave work early, eat tortilla chips and drink more tequila than sanity allows, but is it starting to feel just a little bit like the same old thing?
3 weeks ago All aboard! You know there's something special about riding on a train, you get more of an experience than flying I think. Maybe it's the scenery or the train stops along the way. But you have to admit ,there's something nostalgic about traveling by train. To me it's a representation of a lost frontier, the meeting of an American past to the present and future. I highly recommend you take the kids on at least one train ride because it's an adventure they will never forget for the rest of their lives.

3 weeks ago The summer movie season may not quiet be here but if this weekend's movie is any indication of what's to come it's going to be a blockbuster season. The lone movie this weekend is the long awaited franchise Marvel series 'Iron Man 3' starring Robert Downing Jr. as Tony Stark. Apparently all the other movies were a bit scared off, and considering the gigantic openings of the last two 'Iron Man' flicks, it's hard to blame them.
George Jones was laid to rest on Thursday (May 2). After a nearly three-hour-long celebration of his life at the Grand Ole Opry, the country legend was buried during a service at the Woodlawn Cemetery in Nashville. It was an emotional day, but not one without a few smiles -- and even bursts of laughter -- as friends, family and fans shared memories of the Possum.
