Two weeks ago, a discussion came up regarding betting on the Super Bowl. Apparently, when the Giants lost three straight during the season, the futures bet for them to win the Super Bowl at like 80 to 1. A ton of Giants fans took that bet. Those people are rich now of course. One friend who I al... Comment - Like

For years, I've been waiting for Xanga to create an app. I used to use iBlogger on my iPhone to post entries, but for some reason, the app went dead a few months back. I used the Xanga mobile site (m.xanga.com), but the formats and spacing was all messed up. It became really hard for me to blog s... Comment - Like

A couple of years back, she began dating another one of Friend B's friends (Friend C). Before any other tho... Comment - Like

My parents were tough as nails when I was a kid. I used to be so scared of my father that I'd pretend that I was asleep so that when he got home and my grandmother reported my bad behavior to him, he wouldn't wake me up and kick my ass. I'm pretty sure he knew I wasn't asleep, especially since I was... Comment - Like

I've lost many things in my 30 years of existence... keys, money, friends, love... basically all the things normal people would lose one time or another. I have this defensive mechanism where I just shut off and rationalize why I shouldn't be upset. Lost my keys? Well, I doubt whoever finds it... Comment - Like

I noticed that my most popular entries, the ones that have thousands upon thousands of hits and are constantly recommended, are always the ones regarding bad relationships and breakups. Interestingly, my "happy relationship" entries get no love. Why is that? Do people just love drama? Comment - Like

Every year, my friends and I gather at a bar and we do a live draft for fantasy football. During the first couple of seasons, what winds up happening is that the teams who are not in the running for a playoff spot, sort of give up and do not bother playing, sometimes giving their opponents unfair ad...

One thing I have always wanted to do was travel the world. Many people I know also want the same thing, but only 1 or 2 of them actually tried to make it come true.

I've had some pretty serious injuries in my life. Broken bones, torn muscles and other tissues, getting beaten up by pipes, bad knee, etc. I always thought I had a high tolerance for pain. Maybe a bit masochist, but I would wonder from time to time if I could survive torture.
A few weeks ago, some... Comment - Like

When we first moved to Staten Island, Mrs. jigg has often complained to me that people rarely hold the doors for her--especially at the ferry station which has heavy exit doors. I thought that was preposterous since I almost never experience it. People hold doors for me and I hold the doors for the ... Comment - Like

This past weekend was my "Bachelor" Party. When my groomsmen asked me what I wanted to do, I told them something fun, in the outdoors. I didn't tell them "no-strippers" per se, but I reminded them how I felt about them. A few weeks before, several of the groomsmen and I were already planning o... Comment - Like

I'm getting ready now to head to my "bachelor's party" for the weekend.
Kind of in a hurry, so I'm just going to leave it at that. But before I go, I just want to ask... based on what you know about me (based on everything you've read), what do you think will go on at this bachelor's party?

As some of you may know, a 9-year old boy was abducted earlier this week by someone in his neighborhood and was found brutally murdered. The man was caught and confessed to the crimes. As this whole thing unfolded, people began asking, "What was a 9-year old doing walking home alone?"

A couple of weeks ago at a company conference dinner, the topic of how I met my wife came up. For you long time readers, you know I met Mrs jigg on Xanga. I always respond, "We met online." Maybe it's because I want to see their reactions since they usually ask, "Which site? Match.com?"

I think it's so easy for people to miscommunicate and misunderstand one another. Much has to do with everyone's effort to be tact with what they say, and how the person hearing it, deciphers what is meant. Another issue is when people try to think of what the other person is thinking and then sp... Comment - Like
