Just something for everyone to think about.
Edgar Martinez is retiring, well boo-hoo. He is not the greatest DH ever. That title belongs to Harold Douglas Baines. Do not ask me how I know, but Edgar cheated. Let's just leave it at that. No way he goes to the Hall and Harold doesn't.
Is it a tasty treat, or punch line? America you make the call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Dolphins are going to really suck some ass this year. It is almost to the point I feel bad. But you know what. The Fish can go make sweet love to a light socket. The Chargers will work on moving to LA by going 1-15. The EPA will block the movement of toxic waste, but will come to LA. I am so convinced after watching Georgia run the Rams into the ground to move to the armpit of America St. Louis. I am not a Rams fan, but when they were here I would root for them and knowing I could go catch and NFL game was nice. But her and John Shaw called for the gimp.
56 going on 86. I am really glad Dave Chapplle signed that contract with Comedy Central before this. But right now, I hear that the Mary Jane Girls are gathered to elect the next Rick James. So if I remember correctly, if there is white smoke coming from the compound. Then they are puffing on the Chronic. The gray smoke means they are freebasing. And black smoke means that they have chosen a new Rick James, and they have smoked everything they could get their hands on. Early favorites are Al Roker, Nipsy Russell and Don Knotts. Please stay tuned.
Should pudding be on the periodic table? I think it should. I would put it near the Noble Gases. It is stable element and there is nothing more noble than eating pudding. Look don't give me that its made with milk and pudding mix. I say balderdash. It is a gift from the gods. But this is just one man's musing.
This weekend, John Elway is intucted to the Hall of Fame. The first Bronco to go in. No, Willie Brown and Tony Dorsett do not count. I know I have droned on about Elway on this Blog, but I was very fortunate to be a Bronco Fan and see him from the beginning to the end. There are so many moments I will now give a quick Top 10.
- Super Bowl XXXII
- The Drive
- The Scramble vs. Houston in 91 Playoffs
- Super Bowl XXXIII
- Hiting Shannon Sharpe, standing flat footed, 50 yards, on a rope vs. the Seachickens '95
- Elway hitting Rod Smith on a Out and Up Pattern against the Raiders on Monday Night Nov. 96
- Pissing on the Raiders.
- Kicking the Chargers when they are down.
- Making the Cheifs look like the Candyasses they are.
- Tormenting Marty Shotenheimer.
That is what I have. Give me time, I could craft something a good deal better. Thank goodness my wife tolerates this.
Today, I have been accepted into the warm arms of Human Resources. Instead of living in fear of them, I will be at one with them. I have big plans and ideas that will help this company move forward. Things like flex time, literacy program, a secret police and a reign of terror that would make Robespierre blush. Oh, I think I have said too much. Now I have been an administrative drone for two years at this company and I need to try to do more. Hell actually try to make something out of my life. This will be different and I think I need to make a change. No change in pay, that sucks. Hey I do get mileage. Which means I have to figure a way to fake going from Orange County to SD via the Cape. Much to ponder.
As I have stated to any who asks, "what's your favorite sport?" For me I love them all. I will watch anything with a score. But over the years I have a fanatical football fan. Not a paint your self a team color and make and ass out of yourself fanatic. But I love it. Especially Pro Football. I am very close to having a restraining order placed on me by the NFL. I will watch Football in all of it formats. Pro, College, Junior College, High School. I even go as far as NFL Europe. Yes, I am that idiot that will watch and care about a Berlin vs. Scotland game. This summers trip has kept me from my lowest low's. No not Arena Football. Yes I have watched that too. But I have watched and kept tabs on the CFL. I know that is rock bottom, when I have to get my fix of football by watching web highlights of the Blue Bombers and Eskimos duke it out. The CFL is the paint huffing of the football world. Unless you are from Canada you should not be enjoying punts on third downs or rouges! But I will take it in till the good stuff comes in. To prove how much of a football degenerate I am. I was happy to know that I will only miss week 1 of the NFL season. I may even get home with enough time to catch the end of the Broncos game. But I have been dreaded that I will miss all the roster manuvering and major injuries while I am gone. Stupid trip of a lifetime! Well my wife knows that there is no helping me.
Dear reader, please forgive the grammar and spelling errors. I am not a smart man.
Well kids since I last left you. I have actually got stuff done. Go figure. Work is still busy. Man they are seriously cutting into my goofing off. Well my White Sox have soiled themselves again in August and have gone from 1 1/2 games up to down 5. Really good guys. Well it does not help that Frank and Maggilo are on the DL. So I can look forward to Carl (Don't ask me about Dinosours) Everett to carrying us. Less than three weeks till the trip. God I hope I can keep from fucking things up. So that is leave the water on and pack only stuff I do not need. Check!
But I do not feel it right now. It is the end of the day and I would like to get home while there still is light out. I hate procrastinating and having the attention span of a deer tick. But that is who I am. Right now I could sit here and tap away making it look like I was doing something.
Conrad Bain - TV father figure or post-apocholypitic, unicycle riding, pistol packing, crack smoking pimp with a heart of gold. With the teeth to match. You let that run through your head for a while. It keeps me up night. I just can't get this idea on paper, yet. But the day I do the whole world can share in my vision/insanity. Just think about it. Wouldn't you want to catch Conrad, swearing, drinking, slapping and unicycling (I do not think that is a word) his way into your heart on Friday nights at 8:30. I think it would work in that slot. But, I am no Jim Ignatowski.
Another long day. After re-arranging everything to get to my office at 6:30. I find that the meeting was canceled. F*&(! I have been sluggish all day. I am amazed I did three miles today. It was good. That 24 Hour Fitness is a hotbox unlike Lakeshore which can be down right freezing. Unless you running by the window midday. Enough of that. To make it worst. I did not screw around a lot today but I accomplished as much as if I spent the whole day screwing around. I have a crap load to do before Friday. I going to get out of here and go home to my loving wife and my PS2. I hate to say but I am 33 and I am so attached to that damn thing. I am one of those freaks who plays Madden day and day out. I have played 8 season of Madden. I am talking 16 games and playoffs. I would say I am a complete loser, but I have won a couple of Super Bowls. Opps, I am showing how pathetic I am. I think about my life and I know that I would be the greatest professional layabout if given the tools. I can spend hours upon hours doing nothing of importance. There are episodes of Alice not being watched. Madden Football games to be played, naps to be had. I am the man for this job. Well if I can not have that plum assignment, then I need to work toward my other goal. To become the greatest living Keno player of our generation. I want to be up there in the pantheon of Kino greats as, Cranky Asian woman, Gil Gerard (how do you think he got the Buck Rogers Gig, Twiki was just a Toster to old Gil pimped him out) and surly drunk retired guy. I could go on, but I would have to be creative. That is not going to happen. Well go night all and please tip your wait staff.
I hate to do this to the radio listen audience out there. But part of the reason I am doing this blog is for self indulgent reason. I just want a place I can riff some of my mindless stuff. Right now I feel a list or two coming on. Wait for it....
Favorite Athletes :
John Elway - Johnny Football. I was spoiled for 15 years getting to watch him. The winnest QB in the NFL and Mr. Bronco. I think he was the best, he won with teams that had not business winning as much as they did. Seeing him win two Super Bowls ended all the years of hearing crap about him and the Bronocs. Oh he's no Montana or Unitis. F$%@, lets see China Doll win with Clint Sampson, Clarance Kay, Micheal Young. I thought so. I am just pissed I never got to see him win in person. The three times I went to see him they lost. One of those loses was the last home win of the Los Angeles Rams. See there is some useless info. I still think they got screwed on the fourth down call, it was a catch. They get that first down they score and beat the Rams. Okay I think it is time to move on or I will be here a while.
Harold Baines - Mr. White Sox - my favorite baseball player. A .289 hitter 16 HR's short of 400 and 134 away from 3,000. He was money and I just wish teams would have let him get more at bats his last two year. 3000 would have gotten him into the Hall, but the they would have found away to screw him. Oh he's a DH. Well screw you, throw out Molitor and everyone else who appeared as a DH. That arguement is BS. He was money. I did get to see him play in Chicago, so I feel I got to have a childhood wish come true. I drove my friends nuts with my talk of Harold. he was the only thing the Sox's had in the mid to late 80's. My friends in turn gave me crap about being a White Sox and Baines fan. They all loved the Yankee, Angels and Dodgers. So I could only get excited around the All-Star Game when he would get recognized. I just wished he pulled the ball more. a 30 HR season here and there would have been good and maybe he would have 400 HR's. But it was great to see him at the All-Star Game Celeb Game in the South American Airline Uni going opposite field. Yeah, I know it was off of Sarah Silverman. But there were a few pitchers he homered off that she could of outpitched. I need to stop or I will talk about his 4-4 performance as and A against Baltimore in 91 (3HR's a Double and a IBB). Which by the way was the record for most total bases by an Athletic until I think Giambi broke it. I will need to check.
Vincent Edward Jackson - I am not ashamed to say I was a full fledge member of the cult of Bo Jackson. I am still getting Christmas Cards from Phil Knight for all the Bo Swag I bought in the early nineties. I will only need to say this. He was so good and so amazing that he made me root for the Raiders while he played. I hate the Raiders! Everytime you watched you knew something could happen. I carry his football card along with Oscar Gamble. Got to love the Fro. I just wished he played one full season of Football. He would have gone for 2200 yards. I could spend a day talking about Bo. But that is what ESPN Classic is for. One day when I learn to embed crap I will do them justice.
I will try to get back to this list, but if I get sidetracked I will throw out some of my other favs.
Tom Jackson - the man who made me a Bronco Fan
Frank Thomas - he pisses me off time to time, but I need to remember all he has done and is still doing. Everytime he tried to get out of being great, it keeps pulling him back in!!!
Shaq - I love the Desiel, because he is a force on the court and one of the biggest goofs. I am going to miss him. More on that later.
Maggilo Ordonez - He has been money and will always be money.
Archi Ciafrocco - Big ups to my favorite name in baseball.
Stump Mitchell - Why not, lets here it for Stump.
The Great One - Thank you for putting LA on the Hockey Map.
Well, as I said I may have more when I get back. I have to get out and get stuff done.
Sorry for any Grammar Hate Crimes I have committed
Well less than five weeks till my wife and I are off to Northern Ireland and then England. It will be a great trip, if it does not kill us. The planning we have done for this. Well my wife's planning. She is the John Wayne of this trip and I am Gabby Hayes. She has done a great job on this. We are going to have fun and I will get to conect to a piece of my heritage. I do not think I am truly getting the gravity of what we need to do and the actual trip itself. I will give more details as we get closer. I should not lie, it will be talking about the trip after I get back. Just a quick note, if you like proper grammar this will not be your blog. I can not promise that any of the grammar, syntax or spelling will not be harmed in the making of this blog. Also they might be subjected to adult situations and drug use.
I know everyone assumes it was video, but the corner's report will show that the Radio star was bludgened with processed meat. Sad man, sad. Well I still have a crap load to do here at work but I am at point where it would be pointless to get into something, so time to let the world in on the crap in my head and this dumb ass blog. Well it is a wonderful and scoarchingly warm day in this little over-crowded corner of heaven called the OC. "No bitch, this is not how we do blogs in the OC!".
Just needed to be said. I really have a shit load to do and I could spend the rest of the day talking about my random thoughts. But back to work. I have files to review, letters to write and solitare to play. Crap you we not supposed to hear that one.
Well, I can see that this project is off to a flying start. I was inspired to do this because of my friend Eric and his restaurant quality blog. So you actually have to sit down and actually type in the words. Damn, I that $200 Aqua Man Telepathy kit was a big waste. I hate that asshole. Oh look at me I will call the fish of the sea to help me. What they do not tell you is that Aqua Man was on the take from Red Lobster. Yeah he killed fish for profit. So enjoy that sea food platter jerk! Well even though I may be the only person to read this self indulgent, poorly edited and horribly spelt blog of random and dumb ass comments. Did I mention the abuse that grammar is going to take here. Where do I start. Well first the Earth cooled, then came the dinosaurs...Oh you have heard that one. Well I am a carbon based life form from a little hamlet in Orange County California called Placentia. No it is not the home of the afterbirth. I am the last of five kids. I love sports to the point that I will watch almost anything that has a score. I know I have a problem, but I will at least admit to it. I some how found a wonderful woman who married me even though for a while I thought I may have proved Darwin wrong. It will be twelve years this August that we first met and six years of marriage. Well I feel that I am just going to go on forever if I do not stop. I am still at work for the man as we speak. Down with Whitey! Oh wait, I am whitey. Damn it!
Well here is the begingin of my lame ass Blog. So please stand by for useless info.
