VinnyVideo's blog

Yep, VinnyVideo's still blogging. I just haven't posted in a while - other things seem to have taken priority in the past couple of months.

The Jacksonville Jaguars looked like a totally different team in their past two games, beating the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans by high scores in a decisive fashion. With a 2-2 record and a whole bunch of weak teams (that means you, St. Louis Rams) coming up in the schedule, the Jags are, quite seriously (whispering), playoff contenders.

The Jaguars' pass protection was considerably better Sunday in their 37-17 dismantling of the Titans, and it was mostly because they had different starting offensive tackles - veterans Tra Thomas and Mo Williams instead of top-drafted rookies Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton. While Monroe and Britton are undoubtedly going to be the Jaguars' tackles of the future, it's going to be interesting to see what Jack Del R

Last month's blog post actually got two responses. While hardly positive, at least someone responded! This burst of interest was probably because of the title (Sex, Sex, And More Sex), even if it was nowhere near as risqué as it sounds. And this time, I'm throwing in an Erin Andrews reference just because I know nobody's going to find my thoughts on Jacksonville urban planning to be particularly exciting.

To be honest, I'm kind of concerned about the direction in which Jacksonville is heading as a city, primarily for three reasons:

1. Poor city planning (or lack thereof)
2. Lack of real character and originality
3. Crime and related social problems

A couple of major urban development meetings have been held in the past year where participants designed their models of a future Jacksonville, using LEGO bricks of various colors to represent different kinds of development and strings to

My blog-writing career hasn't been around too long yet, with this being my second full post, so a racy title seems like just the ticket to attracting a wider audience. After all, I've found that throwing around the word "sex" has a tendency to boost interest and response on blogs and message boards. And similarly, the mere mention of this amorous word tends to wake people up in irrelevant lectures, pointless board meetings, and sermons for groups of old people. If you wish to read explicit discussion of sexual matters, however, you will have to look elsewhere, as this post only deals with the issues like gender equity and morality - and the latest edition of Skirt! magazine.

Recently, the Florida High School Athletics Association (FHSAA), the governing body for Florida high school sports, announced that the schedules of high school sports other than football and cheerleading would be sign

I really can't believe I'm writing a blog about this, but I am. This blog focuses on events and issues in the city of Jacksonville (Florida, of course), especially in the Arlington area, while occasionally rambling on to social and political issues, health and nutrition, Major League Baseball (probably about the Chicago Cubs), video games, YouTube, kazoo playing, Winston Churchill, opera, or whatever I'm in the mood to talk about.

Something more interesting than this will appear in the near future.

The next post will be a lot more interesting than this, I can assure you. This post is just designed to make sure the NeoBlog is working right.
