Boski's Blogopoluza!

Who wins in a tag-team match?

Blair Warner & Edna Garrett or Judge Milton Hardcastle & Mark "Skid" McCormick.

Look finding the answer to this may just help win that Noble Prize in Physics I have been craving.

The White Sox somehow are still holding on the AL Central lead, thanks to the Twins falling on their face of late. I have a feeling I should start working on picking out a name for my future ulcer. Even if the White Sox get lucky win the AL Central over the under achieving Ninjas that are the Twins, they will not make easy.

Look I know I should be happy since I expected to ready for football by June 1st, but like usual I am not.

Iraq facing a tough sell for tourism.

Wow I am floored by this. Who does not want to go to a place where a civil war might break out. . .

I never thought I would ever do this, but I bought a pair of jeans that cost over $100. Even as short as 6 months ago I would never imagined it, but now I have done it.

I know it was silly, but I actually got a deal on them. Also I have been looking for a pair that are nice that I can wear out and not look like a hobo, but I know will sit back and take your scorn.

Yes, I have gone blog template crazy. I think I should stick to this one for at least a couple of hours.

I do love me television, outside of sports I catch some of less beaten path shows. I rarely care about things like the Emmy's, but yesterday I wanted to punch everyone on the nomination committee right in the neck.

Why Boski?

Simple.

The Wire = 0 nominations. That is {content removed, but let's say Tommy Lasorda blushed} wrong! Hey maybe it was a mistake, or maybe it was time for other shows and actors to get nominations since the The Wire has grabbed so many in the previous four years. Oh wait a second that can't be since The Wire has never received ANY nominations in five years.

0 are you F$%#ing kidding me!

That is F'ing honked up, and I am talk of biblical proportion . This was one of the best TV series ever, EVER to grace TV. Five years of great TV and no nominations. Okay I am still catching up on season five, only because our old TIVO took a dirt nap. So if any of you tell me what happens I will be pissed, pissed to the point where I will not give you any positive marks for your comments. . . immediately. I will seriously wait 10, 15 seconds. Don't try me.

Also Jimmy Kimmel got no nomination for JKL. Damn that was a bad week, first him and Sara breakup and now this. Look I know I am shill for Jimmy Kimmel but the show has been great. Look it should have got a nomination based on two things. "I am %$&ing Matt Damon" and the follow up, "I am %$#*ing Ben Afflec". Yes crude, but hilarity.

Thankfully Bryan Cranston and Gabriel Bryne got nominations for Best Actors in a Drama, especially Cranston who is spectacular in Breaking Bad. If he had not gotten a nomination I would be starting a one man riot. As for ol Gabe he was fantastic as the shrink facing his own issues in "In Treatment".

Alright I am done, I have not gotten this worked up over TV since Time Warner Cable took away the NFL Network or when Cousin Oliver showed up on the Brady Bunch. Now excuse me I have go the "What's Happening" when the Dobbie Brothers play at the high school and rerun gets busted for bootleg is on.

House Speaker Pelosi calls Bush 'a total failure'

I mean even I had this pegged by 2004.

In an effort to fill time and space here is a new feature on the blog that may last about one week, so with no further adieu. Please save your laughing and mocking till this blog has come to a complete stop.

According to my I-Pod here is what is hot on my I-Pod:

List of Demands - Saul Williams (The Nike Sparq campaign sucked, but at least they used this song)

Let's All Go (To the Fire Dances) - Killing Joke

Great DJ - The Ting Tings (One of the best free songs I have ever gotten from I-Tunes)

Mistaken for Strangers - The National

Button - Sia (Look I am sucker for her, ever since I heard her doing tracks for Zero 7)

Everywhere I Go - The Call (There's another 80's flashback for you.)

Midnight In a Perfect World - DJ Shadow

Alright please go back to your scoffing.

Thank you Mr. Sikahema for doing what a lot of people have always dreamed of doing. (Yahoo Sports)







This is why Vai kicked ass on Special Teams.


Feel the fury of the Sikahema!

Gabe Kaplin vs. Jack Klugman.

Just asking.

Also if I may have caused any seizures. I had about 12 different templates on here today, but you have to break some eggs if you want a peanut butter sandwich. Wait that does not sound right. Oh forget it, I am also trying rebuild this blog. During my blogs "Sybil" stage I lost a lot of links. So I am doing my best to reconstruct the blog and try to and some new stuff. So please let me know if this is alright or if you have any suggestions


Also I want to reassure everyone that I am not a degenerate gambler with all the gambling sites. I may a degenerate, but not a degenerate gambler. Hell I am willing to put money on it.

Enough with the fireworks. The fourth is over you freaking little pyros.

I know that the 4th is your Halloween and Christmas wrapped up into one, but are you all that baked to think it is really bitchin to keep firing them off after and even before the fourth. Do you think that you hold the whole neighborhood rapt with baited breath to hear the genius that you shooting off your IED's? Well it isn't. So why don't you get a hair cut and read a book. (sorry I did not know I was going to turn into an angry 85 year old man)

Look I still love me some fireworks, and things going boom but I let the pros do it and not some 13 year old hesher whose deepest thought is, "how can I crossbred a Piccolo Pete' with a bottle rocket?"

Just trying to find something new to roll with here on the Blog.

Please go about your business.

I think I mentioned we are now the owners of two desert tortises. Look these tortises were given to my wife's family about 20 years ago so it is not like we ran out and swooped them up, which you should never, EVER do. They are fun and it is cool watching them roam around. Here is a clip of one of our newest lawnmowers.

Not a damn thing.

Working on trying to make the house not look like a hobo camp, since we have guest coming in. Spent last night and most of Sunday moving stuff out of out house and moving to our storage unit, along with stuff from my wife's mom's.

Damn I have a lot of stuff I have no business keeping, but who know when I will need to produce my Disneyland Training the Trainer Binder, or my Frank Thomas CD single.

Well I still have more to do.

Okay I just need to vent, I feel better.

It has been awhile kids.


Well a lot has been going on since the last time I sat down and really blogged for you.

As you can see I have not been abducted by Finnish Secret Service, Time Warner Cable or became entangled in a pyramid scheme. However I would like to talk to you about Confederated Products. . . Maybe I will wait on that.


I have been struggling to figure out how to start this all over again and let you know what is going on. I have tried to sit down and do this at least 70 times, without turning this into a Steven King novel.


Let me just start off with 2007 sucked, from start to finish it sucked hard for the most part. 2008 has been better, but it has had some major suckage as well. So let me try to bullet point the highs and lows of the past year and half since I was writing to all of you good people (crickets):


My wife's mother passed away. Still tough to talk about.

Dealing with ADD and depression. I will talk about that at a later time as long as I don't make is sound pretentious.



I am on medication. All those years I used to joke about it and now it has happened. go figure. The medication has help but it does make me sweat more than I like. Let's say on some days I sweating like Dom Delouse


Gave up caffine, I don't know how I have made it this far.

Working on selling Better Half's Mom's home, which has been a huge undertaking. Nothing like selling a house when the market is tanking. Good times.


Did the Jimmy Carter Work Project in San Pedro CA, actually got to meet Mr. Carter briefly.


Been back to Vegas and it kicked ass. Nearly plowed into John Cleese at the Palazzo.


Let my hair go grey

From this:






To this:







Lost 25 pounds - Thanks to the meds I am on, getting my ass back to the gym and trying to eat better I have lost weight. I am not down to around 185. The scary thing is now I can bench press more now at 36, than I did when I was 18. The other sad thing is that # is 200 pounds. I "played" football and was an interior lineman and I could not bench more than 165 through out high school. My goal is to lift 225 so I finally declare myself eligible for the NFL Draft where I will be the first guy whose Wonderlick score and # of benching 225 combined will not be even half of my 40 time.




Finally have a BMW 3 Series, not happy how it came to us (it was the BH Mom car) also not happy that the car I really love and have been dreaming of owning runs on premium. Someone cue Alanis Morrissette.


Me and the Better Half are now the guardians of two desert tortoises, again you can guess from where. But we have taken them in, and enjoying it. Now just have to fix up the yard.

Sadly this guy may be moving away from us soon:




His family is looking for another home, since I think they maybe upside down on it, but I am no Chairman of the Fed. We do however hold out hope that they will leave him with us, but right now we are just trying to enjoy as much time as we can with him.



Well I became TimeWarner's prison bride. Our Tivo went teats up so we got a new one, an HD Tivo and we continued with out life time subscription. Doing that locks us in with Time Warner, but in standard TimeWarner Cable fashion they had to give us an extra box so we could run the On-Demand since the digital cable cards could not. Which ended up being a disaster and now they have raised the rates again and are charging us for both boxes. So it is good to see that in this world there are things you can depend on.


I have been moonlighting on the blogosphere, well actually have been hanging at another site pumping out witty sports and pop culture banter. FanIQ. I am there way more than I should, but I enjoy it. I can pick games and not lose money, I can talk about sports, play trivia. Hell I even do this with about 90% less of my poor writing.


Speaking of sports think in 2008 have gotten better. 2007 sucked for all my teams. But in 2008 I have seen my White Sox stumble out of the blocks and wobbling toward a repeat of '07 but then correct themselves and play some inspired baseball. Look I did not see this team playing this well this year and if they were I still thought they would be third behind the Pity Kitty's and the Casino Owners. Instead it the Sox trying to fight off the Twinkees. I know it only July so a lot can happen, but Ozzie again is showing why I love the crazy S.O.B. As for the Lakers well everything went so well right until they got clubbed like baby harp seals by the Celtics. I would have like to seen the Celtics play like that when in the day when they face Cromwell. As for football, well it may be a long year for the Broncos and Bruins, but then I not the greatest when it comes to prognostication.


Hey I spent a week on a horse - actually got back from that trip two weeks ago. I swear I will put the Snapfish link when my wife is done. But we spent a week in Bridgeport CA at a place called Hunewill Ranch. So now I can say I have punched some doggies.


I have become a watch addict during my sabbatical. I think this all started back in the summer of 2005 when I got upset over losing a Wenger watch that I really liked. I had always just wore a simple Swatch since forever, but after losing that watch I got a replacement that Christmas and began a trend. Right now I have not lost my head yet, but I do own a bitchin TAG Heuer Carreara watch. But I will build myself a watch army and rule the world.....



Lastly - something I did not want to have to confess to but I have an obligation to come out and tell you. I have become a bit of a . . . metro sexual. Look I am sorry but I finally got to a point in my life that I wanted to stop being the worst dress guy at the office. I realized that my days looking like a hobo are over. Now I have not gone all Ryan Seacreast and frosted my tips, but I know have a subscription to Esquire and GQ with the possibility of getting Details. I know, I know you may all be ashamed but it is who I am.



So that is all I have for you now. I am going to try to get back to blogging, well at least attempt to try.

I have been having a beeeaaattccchhh of a time composing the frist one. Also as it seems for all of us, as we try to start on work something we have been holding off or avoiding. Something or somethings comes along and keep you from it. Right now work and a family emergency are keeping me from terrorizing the blogging world.

Yes, I am going to give it another go. I have no clue what I am going to write or do here, but I am going to give it the old Community College half-assed effort.

But before I begin I would again like to extend a laurel wreath to English, syntax and grammar. I know I have hurt you all before and I don't butcher you for pleasure, I do it because I am not a bright man.

Signed,

Management

Just wanted to wish all three of you who have read this blog. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.
