Alot has changed since the last time i blogged...
Quick recap, Massachusetts, had a snowstorm, what seemed to be every day. Not an ohio snowstorm, where it snows all day long for 3 weeks straight, when it snowed in mass, we are talking a foot plus each time. Yeah thats alot of snow, trying shoveling your driveway with a kids shovel that is worthy of building a sandcastle. That only happened once, i went out and got a man shovel after that. Oh and how could i forget that ever house in New England has oil heat!!! You know that stuff that cost like a million dollars a barrell. So on top of being up to my eyeballs in snow, the energy company managed to still kick me in the pills by charging us around 300-400 bucks a month for heat! Now if you ever wondered why red sox nation is so damn big, here is your reason. Would a normal person think that shelling out that kind of dough for heat is ok? Of course not, so the normal fans left and settled else where, where as the morons that still live there think it is the greatest place on the planet. Look, the weatha sux, the people are assholes, and you get jammed on your heating bill...i could go on, but i feel im rambling.
So in the mist of all of this, the Q'ball takes a little test online to see where we should live...silly i know, but wait it gets better. Her number one answer was...you guessed it, Greenville, SC. So like any true scientist, we had to test the hypothesis, so i took the quiz as well...Sadly for me the grass wasnt as green. Apparently im supposed to be living in Pigsknuckle, Arkansas and many other hicktowns. But alas Greenville did make the list, it was #8, we took a weekend trip that sealed our fate. Yes you read that right, we took a quiz online and let it plan our lives. And to tell you the truth, i couldnt be happier, the weather is amazing, the people nice, oh and the cost of living is actually reasonable.
OK, i feel carpel tunnel starting to set it, ill save the rest of this story for another post, maybe with in the next day or so!
Till next time....G'aaarrr

This one's for you Robbie T
So since play off tickets for the Sahx was your first two born children, we decided to hook up with a few of Quinn's friends from work and go watch game three of the world series at a sports bar near beantown. Truth be told i spent most of the time squinting across the bar to watch the buckeyes beat the shit out of the nittney lions...they only had the football game on one 27in tv in the entire bar. But after some laughs and a few cheers and some close minded baseball conversation, it was time to hit the old dusty trail back home...WARNING...if you have a weak stomach you might wish to turn away. Throughout the evening we had a couple sango's and a bowl of chowda and 6 pitchers of beer...yes we still got it. Now in ohio...or better yet bobs the 6 pitchers even if you paid full price for all of them, would have been 30 bones...not that bad. Now i know i wasnt at bob's, so i was expecting the beer to be a bit more pricy, but after all was said and done and the server slipped the tab on the table i turned it over and saw...........$$$102.98 oh and by the way we were drinking rocky mountain spring water (coors light).
Now i wasnt trying to deter anyone from coming to visit we have a few places here that are a little more friendly on the pocketbook, but sadly looking back it was worth the money just to see the atmosphere and actually see what winning a world series looks like. On a side note, i was giving everyone i work with shit when the tribe was up 3-1 and i was wishing the tribe well. Wait till next year i suppose.
Till next time....G'aarrr

Can the Big Ten (11) Salvage a mediocre season?
ND is absolutly horrific this year, i know they are young and have a freshman QB, who at times has shown signs that he will be a good player for them. But my question is who the hell has Mr. Weiss recruited for ND besides Jimmy Clausen? All of Willingham's boys are virtually gone and Weiss's golden boy has moved on to oranger pastures. What will Weiss do know? my suggestion is lyposuction for starters, then he should get some of the film students to film the other teams practices to give them a fighting chance.
Moving onto sunday, the Clowns bounced back from a whoopin last week to put up more points than the Cavs did in the NBA Finals. But in watching parts of that scoring fiesta one has to ask...How bad is Cinci this year? Marvin Lewis is supposed to be a defensive genius, if he is a genius then he makes forrest gump look like einstein. The past couple of years the AFC North has been a very strong divison, but this year it is hard to say so far...The browns and bungles have their own problems..they cant stop a nose bleed right now. The ravens, defense is their only/best offense on the upside atleast boyler threw a pass that heap could actually catch. The Steelers on the other hand have looked good the past two weeks, defensively very effective and offensively they have shown some bright spots, but they have played no body yet, so the verdict is still out on Big Ben chucking it up 30+ times a game.
As for video boy in NE, whether they had signals or not, they made the Chargers look like static electricty, not a lightning bolt. The Pats came out and smacked them in the mouth and didnt back down, barring injuries they pats will be very very hard to beat this year....Dolphin fans beware.
Enough of my sports rants, till later....G'arrrrr

Sorry for the delay....
On a side note, i actually stepped into a fitness facility recently, i must say that i knew i was out of shape but it was a matter of how out of shape i was. Lets just say its a good thing i didnt have a job....i was laid up for a couple days, but got back on the horse and have proceeded to go a few other times since then. the goal is to be able to afford a gym membership, so that way i am not a complete fat ass and i can lose my membership to the dick'e'do club...dont ask, i saw it on a t-shirt.
Till the next time...G'arrr

Right turn clyde...
So one of the things i have noticed while being in New England, these bastads dont know how to drive, AT ALL! During the rainstorm on the drive up i took for granted as it might not rain that much up here, its New England, they have an ocean view, so i know it has to rain. Plus it has rained about 50% of the time we have been here, so get used to it already. But enough about poor rain driving, they just cant drive in general. I think i have found how gm and ford are cutting corners besides laying off jobs, they are not putting turn signals into the cars that they sell in NE. Oh and do not i repeat do not obey a stop sign, if you do be prepared for a lound HONK! Worse off they just pull out in traffic and expect you to stop so that they can pull out of a parking lot, WTF! I think i might have to buy a snowplow ths winter and show these morons how i really feel. So besides the horrific driving abilities and the lack of street signs, New England isnt all that bad. Good food and damn good beer, now all i need to do is find a J.O.B. and i will be all set.
A side note, i forgot how to check my responses for my blog and when i figured it all out i was shocked to see that a few people actually read it...Thanks fella's.
