NFL Notwork...

So last night at dinner, i had this great rant in mind for the blog...sadly a few margarita's later and that idea vanished like cupcakes at fat camp. So after racking my mind to figure out what the hell was grinding my gears, i threw in the towel. Lucky for me I became excited for a preseason football game...i know i know, its preseason. But this game will officially begin the Mike Tomlin Era in the Steel City, so i just wanted to watch the game to give my professional opinion and to give this blog a wee bit more substance. Well then i found out the game was on the NFL Notwork, i was about to jump off a bridge. For those who do not know the nfl notwork used to be carried by the cable networks when you bought the digital packages, but since no one ever watched it, they thought it would be a great idea to make it a premium channel, like hbo or skinimax. Who ever thought of that idea....The Comish, Roger G. is a moron, no one watched it then and no one will pay to watch it. So here i sit with my hopes higher than Dave Chappelle in Half Baked, only to find out that i wont be able to watch a single snap. For some reason the nfl notwork picks up certain games thru out the year, i think they threw in another game on thanksgiving last year and now the hall of fame game. What else will they do in the future...pay per view for the superbowl? So looks like ill be watching the high lights of the 3rd and 4th stringers on ESPN, the total sports network....Thanks William Rasmusen (sorry for butchering the name) He founded ESPN and is a Lambda Chi to boot.

Directions please!!!

So as you know i usually have a good sense of direction and can find my way around....We'll that has all changed :) i feel like im in the bermuda triangle, up is down and down is up and i dont know what direction im going. But the good thing is that i am learning that every city names their streets all the same and that they do not believe in street signs. Oh the good thing is that i am getting to see this beautiful town. But the finally kick in the pills was when i got wise and decided to use the map i bought.....sadly the city i was driving around in wasnt on the DAMN MAP!!!!! But that sense of direction came into play i actually found my way back to where i was heading and got back on track, so i guess i still got it.

The good news is that i have my first interview today, hopefully i can find the joint :)

The Triumphant Return...To blog or not to blog

Sorry for the loooong delay, roughly two months if your scoring at home. To be honest i have consulted my blogging mentor and we discussed whether or not i could/wanted to continue to blog. For a while there i was about 99% sure that i would never blog again, it just was not for me, plus i cannot spell very well :) But i must say that the recent move to boston has inspired me to give it one more go. Since there will be new experiences, trials and tribulations going on in my life that this could be the chance to get this blog off of life support and get it up and kicking again.

So after 12 hours in a car, we finally arrived in Mass. and for some strange reason i thought we were in phoenix....it started to rain and no one up here new how to drive a car...WTF? Its New England!!!! Anyway, moving on, of course your first night in a new city there are several things you need to locate first: 1. your apartment, check 2. grocery store, check 3. liquior store, check (listed by priority not importance) For those of my many millions of readers who know that i love a good pint of beer or bottle for that matter, i see this as a great opportunity to indulge in some of New Englands finest microbrews. Last night i enjoyed a six of SmuttyNose Summer Weizen Ale. It did get better with time, then again so does Shlitz, it was a little hoppy at first, but after the first two the next four went down like gang busters, so with that ill give it 6.5 (out of 10). The .5 is for the picture on the front of the label, it is right out of what looks like the 50's, it is someones mom on a raft in a pool, and below the picture it says "C'mon in, the water is nice". When i get a digital camara i will drink another six and repost the label i promise. Till next time....Gaaarrr

Sorry for the delay....

Picking up where i left off on Saturday, so the Q got me tix to go see george for christmas. We drove down to Columbus to catch dinner and a beer or two before the show. But it got ugly quick, the second i parked the car i came to the sad realization that my keyless entry decided to crap out on me. Solution...use the key, but if you dont have a key? Leave the car unlocked in downtown columbus for oh 6 or 7 hours, sounds like a good idea to me. So i sucked it up and said screw it, if they want it they can take it....inside praying for a snow storm if someone did steal it( my heat doesnt work....at all). So we went to dinner at the Elevator Brewery and i must say they had some stellar brew and damn good eats if i must say so. But the most amazing thing was the service, we told the server we were in a hurry, i think it took a total of 10 minutes for them to serve the entire course, salads, app, you name it, so kudos for that.

After dinner we walked by my car, i figured a few minutes in a bar would somehow recharge my keyless entry, i was way off on that one, so off to the show we go. Side note, if you have never been to Columbus Civic theatre, give it a try, it's very beautiful. We had great seats, center balcony, right on the aisle to boot. Now i have been a george carlin fan for many years, hence my language, i own all of his books and have seen many of his hbo specials. Georgie walks out on stage with a notebook and some loose sheets of paper. He announces that he is working on new material for his next hbo special, he just turned 70 so he now calls himself an "old fuck". George was his edgy old self, with the exception of him crossing a couple lines during the show i give it 3 3/4 stars out of 5. Those lines that he crossed were not hairlines either, they were more like gorges, but i guess thats his way to stay up with the times. So after the show, i made the not so long dreadful walk back to the taurus, with fingers crossed that it was still there....and sure enough out of the corner of my eye there she was, i was able to tell by the two toned bumper that i had installed almost a year ago. Stay tuned...

And down the stretch they come...

The 132nd running of the preakness and the one year anniversary of Barbaro. Going back to this race last year when Barbaro went down, i clearly remember seeing the look on his owners faces....Agony to say the least, but what i noticed most was the look on thier kids faces. They had a look of sadness as any child would in that scenario. But the best part is when the one kid tried to hug his mom and she pushed him away. Now in her mind im sure it made sense, because she could get millions upon millions of dollars putting that horse out to stud. And all those brats would give her was dept in the form of college student loans, so the choice was simple. I guess my question is are they getting any royalties from Alpo. Oh and also on this date a year ago, i passed on going to see pearljam, i decided to get loaded instead.

Okay, so now that i have secured my place in hell, im going to see George Carlin tonight. As if going to hell wasnt bad enough i have to go see GC tonight to ensure i get a front row seat, review of the show to follow.

Hello to all in blogger land

Well, where shall I being? This is my first post in bloggerland and I guess this is just a testament to how boring my day job can be. Dont get me wrong, i love reading other peoples blogs, but i just never fathomed the idea that id be wasting my day away bitching and moaning, gloating and boasting about the things that make my life mine. But what the hell, Im here so carpe diem.

So as I am trying to pass the time, i often browse the news on yahoo. And what do you know a group of deep sea divers have discovered what could possibly be the richest treasure to date....garrrr! 17tons of the stuff, not to shabby, im sure the goonies would be proud, that would by lots of rocky road icecream. I guess the significance of this story is that if you have ever seen dodgeball, you will notice a striking resemblence between myself and steve "the pirate". So it looks like someone found the treasure that steve was in search of, as for me i still have to keep the day job.
