Date night is overrated
2012-01-25 22:33:00 Shortly after getting married, I was a magnet for advice. With the divorce rate so high, I didn’t want to end up like a statistic. I grilled happy couples, wanting to know their secret. Nobody seemed to have the magic bullet, but a constant theme was, “Make sure you go on Date Night every week.”... Read more »
79. Muses are overrated, Suzannas are underrated: Make a bad First Draft
2011-09-04 23:39:00 muse (mju?z) ?&-nbsp;na goddess that&-nbsp;inspires a creat-ive artist, esp -a poet[C14: from -;Old French, from&nbs-p;Latin M?sa, f-rom Greek Mousa - aMuse]You know the funny thing about the Ivy League schools is the huge difference between your inflated expectations of what an Ivy League class should be like and what it actually is. Take the kind of students for example. In my puny little brain, I imagined that there would be the most brilliant students there from all over the country and perhaps the world. I imagined them having encyclopedic knowledge and that they could recite Baudelaire or expound on Foucault?s philosophical theories on demand. And, indeed there were quite a few geniuses, and I am not exaggerating. They were some super smart people who seemed like they were hyper intelligent aliens from another planet, but they were the exceptions not the rule. Most of the stu...
Irrationally Overrated Players: Mark Buehrle and Company
2011-06-19 17:48:00 Just as there are certainties in life (death, taxes, et al) there are certainties in sports. Some of the more notable certainties are the die hard fans, heartbreak and the euphoric high of winning a championship. Additionally, with every sports franchise comes the list of current and former players who are irrationally overrated. By Peter Christian...
Kids are Overrated (Along with Other Things)
2011-06-01 13:00:00 I was talking to a co-worker the other day and said that I hope one of my kids simply cares enough about me to put me in a nursing home with a view. "A view of what?" she asked. "Something with foliage," I answered, "I don't even need an ocean view." She responded by saying, "I don't think that's asking too much." She doesn't have kids. She shouldn't be so sure.A few years ago, I asked a friend of mine how her kids were doing. She answered, "They're overrated. Kids in general are overrated." This was from a woman who was very devoted to her two kids - a caring, involved single mom who walked that difficult line, when your...
'The Walking Dead' Is the Most Overrated Show on Television
2010-12-01 13:45:00 Courtesy of AMC Photos/ Scott GarfieldI like 1) gory zombie films 2) watching TV 3) cultural sensations that are not reality TV-, pop music-, or Palin-related. So the AMC television series "The Walking Dead" seemed like an easy call. In the wake of all the hype, however, including a recent Entertainment Weekly cover that read "The Best New Show on TV," I feel as if I should do my part to put the breaks on. Not only is "The Walking Dead" overrated, but it actually kind of sucks. Basically, it's an ensemble drama in the vein of "Lost" only with less interesting characters, less talented actors, and no mystery to drive the narrative. Based on a comic book series...
Celtics vs. Heat: "Overrated" Heat and LeBron Fall To Celtics 80 - 88
2010-10-27 11:29:00 LeBron James to The Miami Heat was not a move favored by this blogger, who thought King James should have went to the greener pastures of New York City and The Knicks. But observers, and The Miami Heat, asserted that with Duane Wade and Chris Bosh, James was all but assured of an NBA Title. Okay. But there's that little thing called chemistry that has to develop before a team can put up wins. That's what the Miami Heat lacked as they fell to the Boston Celtics 80 to 88 to open the NBA's 2010-2011 Season. What the Boston Celtics have is the "original big three" in Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Rajon Rondo. Add Ray Allen, and ex-Laker Shaquille O'Neal, and you have a formidable team that was ready to put Miami in it's place and did just that. Now, the question is, how long will it take The Miami Heat to be that NBA Finals contender everyone talks about. Boston Celtics Coach Doc Rivers thinks it's just a matter of time. He told ESPN "They're going to be great."...
Cutler named one of the most overrated players in the NFL

Derrick Rose Overrated?
2010-10-16 22:26:00 Despite the three loss, two win commencement in preseason so far, Forward Luol Deng has easily been the most impressive, which during this time is usually the onset of appointments to the infirmary in light of injuries and early shortfalls before a debuting season. But in every last one of his five starts in preseason, Deng, from the looks of it, has been nothing short of spectacular. No more long twos. Instead, more properly set threes in transition. Last night for example, the 6-foot-9 Small Forward walked into five three-pointers -- only missing two -- gathering a flock of support on the heels of tonight's potential Eastern conference playoff matchup against Orlando Magic. Certainly, though, this won't arrest rumors involving...
Movie reviews: Overrated 'Let Me In' and three good, smaller movi
2010-09-30 22:44:00 I very much like the 2008 Swedish film "Let the Right One In." I'm shocked that so many critics are fawning over Matt Reeves' stunningly bad remake "Let Me In." Shocked, shocked I tell you!OK, I'm getting dramatic. That's just because everything else I saw that's opening this week is so much better.-- James Franco anchors the intellectually playful "Howl." -- Oops, I wanted to save the phrase "intellectually playful," since you could say the same about the thought-provoking "Freakonomics."-- As for "A Film Unfinished," it's a hard movie to watch but it's an essential piece of cinema in many ways.The movie to see, though, is still "The Social Network." No doubt.What will you see this weekend?...
No Man/Woman is an Island: How Individuality is overrated in Western Civili
2010-02-21 20:45:00 In Western history the role of the individual has been of paramount importance. Individual accomplishment has always been praised, and the focus has been on willpower, drive, and determination. We are told not to give up despite resistance, to become independent and stand on our very own feet. Why ask for help and assistance when you can do it yourself.Our society and family, even religion is structured on and around the individual. We may congregate together in Church but each will have to work out their salvation on their own. Each person needs to have personal faith. Others may support you, guide you, give you compassion, but in the end, we all keep being ?islands onto ourselves?.There is nothing inherently wrong with individualism. In fact, I believe it is healthy and beneficial. But my problem lies with our over-reliance on individuality. All our life, we have been drilled to stand our own ground and take credit for our accomplishments; our worldview is mostly based on this uni...

Overrated MMA Fighters of 2009

Dana White (Let me explain)My interpretation of how these men ended up on this list is simple. Their current talent does not warrant the media coverage they receive. Also, these men definitely stand out- no mistakes about it. But they stand out for the wrong reasons. Personally I would say 'AMEN' I agree with all these picks....

Guys who seem to be getting lots of buzz, but has no real talent at all, or perhaps just a small amount of it. I have no issue if an actor gets the cover of GQ or Details or L'Uomo Vogue every month.

Overrated
2008-06-27 00:38:00 Numa estao qualquer, espera de qualquer autocarro, o corpo o silncio e a sua pulsao aderindo aos tiques comuns e destrutivos do tempo, variando entre instantes ardidos numa cronologia imprecisa, descartando afeies - e depois pra. O pensamento recupera uma ordem, um mtodo e vai buscar fora aos sinais exteriores, a realidade que por pouco que seja, ou nos convena, ainda s aquilo que nos faz companhia. Alguns velhos bebem cerveja, jogam s cartas e falam suficientemente alto para que mesmo longe os oias. E s isso, a conversa entre os velhos, sem nada que merea ser sublinhado, mas agora concentras-te neles. Mais tarde chega um outro homem trazendo nos braos uma caixinha de chuva, senta-se na parte final de um verso teu (pode ser aqui) e deixa-se estar muito quieto no seu egosmo solitrio, mimado por alguma tristeza. O som da chuva a cair e as suas expectativas bem calibradas, reduzidas pelo dobro dos anos que acumulas de vida nesta antiga e fcil ptria da amar...

Carrie Underwood Most Popular, Jason Castro Most Overrated
2008-05-24 06:08:00 Share on StumbleUpon: According to a recent poll, Carrie Underwood was voted the all-time most popular American Idol winner, grabbing 54 percent of the vote to beat out second-place finisher Kelly Clarkson. The poll also focused on the current season of AI, which will wrap up this week. If youre looking at this poll to predict this seasons American Idol winner, youre out of luck: both David Archuletas version of Imagine and David Cooks Chris Cornell-ified cover of Billie Jean tied for the seasons best performance with 35 percent of the vote. On the flip side, Jason Castros half-baked version of Bob Dylans Mr. Tambourine Man was voted the seasons worst performance, while the recently dismissed Castro also won the award for this seasons Most Overrated Contestant. Michael Johns was voted losing contestant most likely to still have a successful career, and a whopping 63 percent felt that Idol contestants with a previous record contract (a la Carly Smithson) should not ...

Real estate search technology is overrated
2008-05-02 09:04:00 The real estate industry is the search technologists' siren's song. They find a better way to search and look for applications to industry verticals. They see real estate, with its complex data parameters and believe that any iteration that makes search a little bit easier will become the consumer Holy Grail. In addition, they perceive the industry as a cash cow with agents and lenders, etc. making commissions of 4 to 5 digit fees, and believe it's more lucrative to capture a small % of these huge fees than to apply search to lower fee capture products like dating or retail.Of course, the reality is simplifying search doesn't matter to the consumer. They want data credibility... consumers eventually figure out that they need to visit various sites to cobble together what they perceive as comprehensive listings data (remember, if you're a real estate professional who read blogs, you know MLS services, Trulia and Zillow paint partial pictures, but the consumer doesn'...

2008-05-02 07:15:00 [EDITORS NOTE]: silencecs wrote a nice piece on why Lito Sheppard might be overrated. I know that the trade talks have suddenly quieted, but it's good writing.

Top 10 Most Overrated Things In Sports

Here is your list of the Top 10 things in sports that we think are way overrated and people care way too much about. #10 NHL Regular SeasonThere were a lot of mixed emotions about me leaving off the NHL from 'The Top 10 Things in Sports That Suck', but don't worry hockey haters. The shallow and pedantic NHL regular season makes this list instead. Go watch a regular season hockey game and then tell me it should be on ESPN. In the NHL, if it ain't the playoffs it ain't interesting, unless it is sixty minutes of fighting. #9 Bad NBA TeamsThe lowest-tier teams of the National Basketball Association may achieve a new goal this season by featuring three teams with less than twenty wins. If it happens it will be the first time since 2001 that the league has at least three such teams. The competitors this year are the Minnesota Timberwolves (17-50), the Memphis G...

Sexism in Campaign is Overrated
2008-03-04 01:55:00 Gloria Steinem, the aging feminazi, is on the campaign trail stumping for Hillary Clinton. While Steinem is out discussing the supposed qualifications of she who would be Queen, it boils down to one qualification and that is, Hillary is a woman. Steinem discusses the campaign and how Hillary is not given a fair chance or how the media is better to Obama or any of the other claims made by the Clinton apologists. She throws in a few of the references to male domination and all the other excuses that women use when they fail to achieve. Women have made quantum leaps with regard to equality in the workplace and in education. There are many women in institutes of higher learning and there are plenty in the workplace and they are protected under Equal Opportunity laws to such a great extent that they receive benefits of affirmative action. Women owned businesses receive special treatment so much so that contractors align with them in order to win competitive bids. This is not good enough ...

Juno: An Overrated Accoustic Romance
2008-02-27 07:59:00 Each year on best picture category of the Oscars, we see an item and go “Really?” Last year it was Little Miss Sunshine which was simply astonishing. And this year it was Juno. Among the nominations was the leading actress role for Ellen Page giving a superb performance. And I have to confess I lost hope over understanding the teen language all over the movie. There’s just no way for a non-American to understand what all these teenagers are talking about. I wonder if their parents do. The script was as simple as “a teenage girl gets inadvertently pregnant and starts out connecting to a newlywed couple looking for child adaptation.” Well, that would make sense. And the movie comes out with a very successful soundtrack disk of mostly acoustic tracks performed by Belle & Sebastian, The Kinks, Cat Power, Velvet Underground as well as Sonic Youth and unfortunately this girl called Kimya Dawson who (don’t take it personal but) doesn’t seem to make sense at all and you ca...

"Overrated" in Playa del Carmen
2008-02-26 19:21:00 Just today, I read a post on a popular local message board from a member called "JJS" detailing several of the things in Playa del Carmen he found "overrated" by fellow forum members. While, I did agree with a few of his list items, (I too find the blueberry margaritas at Babes to be just awful) one stuck out like sore thumb. This particular poster found Bad Boyz on the Beach not at all what it was touted to be. While this assessment could easily be put off to a bad night, I was there on that particular evening and I have pictures to prove it! Unfortunately, the thread was locked before I had a chance to respond and post some of the highlights of the evening in rebuttal. JJS, if you are out there, THIS is what you obviously missed on Thursday February 21, 2008 at Bad Boyz on the Beach.We had so much fun on Thursday, that we went back for more on Saturday afternoon.

Five Overrated Players By ADP
2008-02-20 21:07:00 In his ESPN chat yesterday, Nate Ravitz was asked which five players in the Top 50 he wouldn't touch with a 5' pole. He answered Albert Pujols, Erik Bedard, BJ Upton, Cole Hamels or Robinson Cano. This immeidately made me think of which ones I would avoid in most circumstances. Top get a Top 50 list, I used the ADP list from Mock Draft Central posted yesterday afternoon. Man, I wish it included Cole Hamels and Robinson Cano because it was much harder to find five in the Top 50. But choose five I will. The ADP is also noted. 1. Albert Pujols 1B (7): I am scared of the elbow and see too many similarly-skilled players worth taking (Chase Utley, Miguel Cabrera, etc) to risk losing Pujols for the season to Tommy John surgery. 2. Vladimir Guerrero OF/DH (25): News came out that the elbow that caused Vlad to DH in last year's play-offs is still bothering him. There are equally good options at OF like Alex Rios, Curtis Granderson and Magglio Ordonez t...

Aaron Rowand: Overrated?
2008-02-12 19:19:00 One of this winter's biggest free agent winners was CF Aaron Rowand, formerly of the Philadelphia Phillies now current mantle holder of Most Expensive San Francisco Giant. In his walk year, Rowand put up career high power numbers with 27 HRs and 89 RBIs while batting 5th behind All-Stars Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. Depsite maintaining his spot in the heart of the Giants' line-up, Rowand is showing up as one a player likely to be over-valued in upcoming fantasy baseball drafts. I agree to an extent. I strongly doubt he can match his HR totals away from the friendly confines of Citizens Bank Park. Afterall, he hit 17 or his 27 bombs in those confines. Is an expectation of 20 fair? His AVG may suffer without .400 OBP players like Utley and Howard in front of him, but I am not so sure on the RBIs. While he won't have a pair like them in front of him, he could get as many opportunities because no one in front of him on the Giants is likely t...

Why the Stimulus Package is Overrated - Part 2
2008-02-12 01:03:00 Yesterday I talked about the difficulty loan limit increases in the stimulus package would have in keeping mortgage rates low. Today I'd like to talk about the heart of the package; the checks.From all the talk from the media, it sounded like we would be getting free money. We all know there's no such thing as free money. I figured the money for the checks in the $170 billion package would come from higher taxes at a future date or from cutting spending somewhere else. When Congress passed the package last Friday, the real details of the plan came out. These checks are the government wasting resources by cutting a check and handing us a cash advance of our own money...from next year's returns.I never had much faith in the "rebates" as I never got my $300 in 2001. But this year's rebate is a big, steaming pile of Mr. Hankey. CNN reported Friday -Do I have to pay the rebate back?No. And here's why.Your rebate is a one-time tax cut - an advance on a credit you'll receive on...
Why the Stimulus Package is Overrated - Part 1
2008-02-11 02:24:00 As many of you may have heard in the news, Congress has approved a $170 billion stimulus package for the economy that President Bush seems very likely to sign in its current state. Gathering most of the headlines is the token check that will be sent out ranging between $600 - $1200 per family, dependent upon a number of factors. What hasn't received a lot of attention are the changes that could stem the foreclosure and housing crisis. I will address these changes first.At the heart of the housing portion of the stimulus package are increases in both the conforming and FHA loan levels. For a while I thought this was the obvious and cheapest alternative to stemming the tide of foreclosures and maintaining the housing market. However, I didn't fully understand the underlying economics of loan limits.Tanta at Calculated Risk set me straight - in an instructive way - on a few things. Let's recap real quickly the stimulus package calls for a temporary rise of the conforming loan ...

Fame is Overrated, Celebrate a Normal Life
2008-02-02 16:41:00 "I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name." -Emily Dickinson, 19th Century American Poet, Emily Dickinson books// Society is addicted to fame, scandal, gossip and greed. The media loves to pander to the stupidity of young pop idols, and reality television has made otherwise normal people engage in activities they would never do in real life, just for our entertainment. If fame is equivalent to the "good life," then why do so many famous people take it for granted? Maybe, fame is just a little overrated - don't you think!?! Even in the 19th Century, as Dickinson alludes, famous people squandered everything good in their lives in order to... Please click the title link to read the rest of this post.
