So I've been doing some reading, which is dangerous for everyone-and I can't believe the crap that keeps coming out.
Maybe 15 years ago before the internet 'Boom' we would have rarely heard about these stories, but now we know all about them. And some of them are disturbing, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it may be from a Democrat in my old home state of NH. Maybe Lil' Massachusetts is finally starting to wake up, but we'll end with that.
As has been a running theme on this blog from time to time, just a reminder that one of the top 5 things I do when I become President of this great nation is to revamp the educational system. If ever you've wondered why, it's because of things like this. And Elon University has the unmitigated gall to sit behind it's university policy. You and your ilk, Elon, will be first on the chopping block for Federal funding pretty much Day 2 of my Presidency. Day 1, of course, will be spent dancing with my wife (?) and signing a massive bill to cure cancer. Fuck Kanye West and U2. I don't care if Hollyweird does or doesn't like me, because they'll be 'up for review', too.
This guy needs to die, seriously. After reading what he did, why does he deserve to breathe? I can't think of another word other than deplorable, but if you have children, hug them.
Next up, this guy. Nice mugshot. Hope you have fun in the joint, they don't look too kindly on pedophiles...nor should they. Anyone else find it ironic that prisons have their own societal code? If these people had the same scruples out in the world, they wouldn't be in prison. Go figure, I know.
And then again, some people can't leave well enough alone. You survived a plane crash, and now you're thinking of suing, and in doing so you may well ground an airline. Way to think it thru, assholes. I hate the 'gots to get mine' society we've become. Overly litigious is a kind way of putting it, but this is absurd.
So, how does all of this get solved, you're wondering? That's right, bring back the firing squad!!!
I'd like someone to tell me what's wrong with Rush's idea.
Andrew Bynum, you're a punk. This isn't the 1st time you've hurt someone. I can only hope you attempt this on LeBron, who will then go absolutely beserk and make like The Incredible Hulk...who doesn't want to see that? Get well soon, Gerald Wallace.
Lastly-for now-the greatest Super Bowl snack ever!
Happy Thursday to all.

Not much to report
So, here we are on a frigid Tuesday morning, and I don't have a whole bunch to report on. I should find out today about the temp gig. And I spent yesterday looking at jobs in Boston, just in case certain things either do or don't pan out here in Denver.
That's kind of it for now.
That's kind of it for now.
Monday, January 26, 2009
Fine, I missed a day...what did you do yesterday?
So yesterday was spent cleaning up stuff. And today was more of the same. All that being said, here is some news, personal and otherwise:
On the personal side, the woman I truly give a rats patoo about texted me today and wants to know when I'm coming to visit. Yup, that thing you just heard was my heart pounding thru my chest. We now shall see if I get to go on a plane and make an ass of myself. Chances are high, I repeat, Chances are high-That I'm going to do something completely stupid.
Okay, enough of these shenanighans. Onto the news:
While this may be a little bit sad (okay, it's a lot sad), why oh why do these, ahem, "Parents" get spared the death penalty? I'm pretty sure these are exactly the types of useless clowns the death penalty was intended for. What say you? Very rarely, thanks to TV, movies and music am I shocked anymore, but this story made me gasp out loud. Fine, send them to prison, forever. But, if I may, I'd like to recommend that as part of the guy's sentence that he gets his head kicked in once a month from now until his passing. Because this guy sucks, in plain english.
I'm not even sure why this is news. Mayor has a gay relationship, because he's gay. And? With an 18 yr old at the time...so. The person that some are wondering if he got taken advantage of has flat out stated that he never felt like he was taken advantage of. Now, can we move on? I don't care what people do in their personal lives, unless it's harming another human being or animal without consent. You want to have relations, and you're gay? Good for you, you found someone you're attracted to. Has minimal effect on how you will govern the day to day operations of your job. My thought is that since I don't wake up everyday with a hetero agenda, gay people don't either. I could be way off, but I'd hate to define myself 1st and foremost based on my sexuality. Seems like I'd be fighting a battle everyday.
You can make your own jokes about this one...like there were W&W's all over the road. Here's a thought to the truck driver...slow the hell down around the on ramp, dumbass!
Miss Virginia just moved up a few notches on the hot scale....just sayin'.
Did anyone else see Chase Budinger get stepped on? Outrageous! And the guy who did the stepping, issued this lame apology. Houston coach Tom Penders, you're a douche. Sit this kid down for at least a game. It wasn't like he stumbled on his head. He took like 2 steps!! It's stuff like this that I rarely forget. It's the same reason that while Chris Paul may be a fantastic player in the NBA, I will never like him. Why? Because he punched Julius Hodge in the nuts in an ACC contest. Now Aubrey Coleman says he's sorry. Bullshit. Watch the replay, he even gets hi-fives from teammates. If I had a kid considering between the University of Houston and somewhere else, Lil' Johnny will be going somewhere else.
Apparently we've come to the cheap shot portion of our program, because I have 2 more for you;
Remember the girls team that lost 100-0? Well, the winning coach just got canned. And why? Because he's a moron who doesn't know when to admit he made a mistake. If he had come out and apologized and stated that he got caught up in the moment, then all would eventually be forgiven. But instead, this guy is sticking to his guns and thinking that it's okay to shoot 3's up 88-0. Class act, pal. I know we all make mistakes, but it's one thing to mess up and admit it, but now you look like an ass because you're just sitting there being defiant now.
And now someone in college hockey has been Bertuzzi'd, after a clean hit no less. Michigan St. should not only apologize, but kick these kids off the team. There's no fighting in college hockey, so these kids will never have to pay for the blatant doucheyness of their actions. Oh, and see if you can catch it on the clip of the 2nd kid slashing what I'm convinced is someone unconscious. You stay classy, Spartans.
And lastly tonight, a speedy and healthy recovery to Michael Redd, who shredded his ACL and MCL last night. Been there, buddy, my heart goes out to you. I just remember you and Scoonie Penn making it to the Final Four so many years ago. Face it, I just wanted you all to remember Scoonie!

Getting things done around the house
nothing better than using your time effectively. I swear, then when you are tired, you can look around and say, "I did that, visual proof that somethings got accomplished today." And that's exactly how I feel today.
But have no fear, I still got to read a bunch of stuff today. Just remember, this is the slow time of the year for sports. Big day of college hoops tomorrow, and I've got a birthday party to swing by tomorrow night.
Now, as for dating, I have done something to appease my Mom (internet dating-gasp!), and in the process have noticed something frightening, at least in my estimation. It seems as though the women I can possibly get matched up with-25% of them are teachers!!! What the hell? All within this certain age range, but what grade they teach and where are all over the place, but seriously, like 1 in 4 are in the teaching profession. Does this strike anyone else as a little more than odd?
Alright, onto the man, myth and legend that is Obama. In case you missed it, he's setting up the class warfare fight, right on schedule. It hasn't taken a week and he's already doing things just to piss off the people whose money he's reallocating to for this so-called stimulus package. I'll bet you dollars to donuts this crap doesn't work. Bad money after bad money is just that, a bad idea. Some things have to fail, be it in business or in life. Some people and companies need to be held accountable for their actions. I don't ever want to rely on big government to pick me up when I'm down. There I go again, talking about personal responsability. When will I ever get it that it's always someone else's fault.
Just in case you're curious, I will shout down anyone of 'minority race' who tells me that they can't get something done due to the pigmentation of their skin. This argument and race-baiting is dead...D-E-A-D, got it?
Mr. Bill O'Reilly, I can only hope you are correct. I welcome the day that all these news offerings have to beg and plead for a handout. They lack class and journalistic integrity. Columbia's renowned School of Journalism ought to be using some of these as examples of what not to do.
Is this supposed to be a threat, a promise or just a statement? Seriously, you just had like 2 million people shouting your name, more stupid people from Hollyweird ready to bow to you, and you're worried about a radio talk show? Hmm, maybe the emporer wears no clothes?
I'm sure you've all heard about the girls high school basketball game that ended 100-0, and the winning coach didn't see anything wrong. I hate the fact that it keeps getting brought up that the girls on the losing side have learning disabilities, like dyslexia or are slow readers? Yeah, so? I know it's a different sport, but Dexter Manley couldn't read, and it sure as hell didn't stop him from sacking a QB. The real problem is the winning coach doesn't apologize for being a douchebag. They were up 59-0 at half, and 88-0 after 3...and they were still pressing and chucking 3's. You're a jerk. It's ok, really. But own it, pal. Nothing can be learned by beating a team 100-0. You could've done the Hickory High thing, work on passing, new plays, no fast breaks or jump shots. Layups only. Oh, and call off the press. You just don't come off well in this one. And now the winning team wants to forfeit the win. Why? So this will all go away. Want it to go away? Suspend the coach for his next game, to learn some freakin' humility.
And lastly, do these look like 2 girls who want to learn or does the picture look like a future Porn DVD Cover? The defense rests!

And I almost got something done today
So part of being unemployed is trying to motivate yourself to try and find things to do...most importantly, you need a plan of attack on the job search.
Well, faithful reader(s), I haven't been working that hard on this aspect. I may have an offer for a temp gig that could last 2 months. That would be very sweet. It would also put off this ugly decision making process. And it would keep me afloat for a little while longer. That would be cool. I also may have an offer to go work with a former client of mine. It would be very interesting, as I would be running my own show, selling what I was just laid off from. I have found some cool, interesting things online that I will be applying for, and I'm still thinking about moving back to Boston, we shall see about all the craziness.
Now onto politics for a second. Anyone see the anointed one's stare down in the press corps today? Very funny stuff.
Ann Coulter does a nice job of calling some people out in this article. Notably, liberals. Nothing better than a sore winner. And I'm just sitting back waiting for it all to fail. Because it will. Socialism doesn't work. That's not my phrase, it's been proven, even in academia, they just don't want to admit it.
For all of Obama's promise and rhetoric, I think a lot of people may have missed what is really going to happen in the next few months. A lot of the same. And I will be laughing hysterically when the morons wonder why he couldn't change everything with a magic wand.
And in case anyone was wondering, W didn't finish with the lowest approval rating ever. But I'm glad the Mainstream Media keep bringing that point up. Gee, I wonder why?
Anyone else read this one, and the last line that states "he doesn't normally frequent strip clubs" and either a)spit out what they were drinking, b)screamed 'Yeah, Right!", or c) a then b?
And lastly, in what may be the greatest news in the history of television, Michael Irvin will be getting his own reality TV show. I'm more excited than when I got to see Evil Kneivael fall down and get tossed around like a ragdoll. The comments on this posting are priceless. This is the definition of Christmas come early!

alrighty, now what?
Okay, so I'm feeling pretty good...quite a few beers and the shift has been made to Absolut on the rocks (my favorite, and a constant homage to Pops), yet I'm lucid enough to type.
Bought me a new laptop...pretty sweet, very fast. But I need my boy to hook it up with all the free stuff that I need. He has me covered, and I can wait a few days. My old laptop works just fine, but it's not shiny and new!
As for Sports, not a whole bunch to report, at least in my eyes. Last I checked the line for the Super Bowl was at 7....I was hoping that all the Steelers fans would bump it up to 9, and then I'd lay a tease on the Cardinals and the over....that sounds smart, but I'm kinda drunk, so who knows.
So, you'd think I'd be more hyper trying to find a job, but not so much. I think it's because I don't really care, I have faith that it will work itself out, although I swear I should go back to school for counseling, as I think I've been giving everyone either an ear to bend or advice. Everyone except you, KP! I envy how you have your life on lockdown. You know what it is and what it isn't. When I open up my Male Finishing School you'll be my Professor of 'Calm the hell down, you're married, not Dead' department. Let me know if that suits you.
I had a date tonight, not from the internet, either. I'm not affected by this layoff. I'm 33, and this is the 3rd time in 5 years. It's not that I don't care, it's my belief that I'm going to be fine. I hope I get a job that allows me to goof off a ton so I can write more.
As for the date, it went fine. I met her once before, she's a very nice girl. Has a lot to say, very bright. Not sure if she does it for me, but she'd be a cool girl to hang out with.
I have dinner with a good friend tomorrow who will probably want to slap me for pursuing this certain woman off at a distance, but oh well. It's my life. And I think that I actually believe that statement. I have no prediliction to what could happen, I'm just letting it be. It's a very, very novel concept for me, but in a very short time I've come to like it. Without being selfish, either. I've just made a conscious decision that I'm not going to apologize for being me. I like who I'm turning into. Good heart, good head, looks out for others, helps old ladies cross the street, calls his Mother once a week, principled. Why apologize for that?

I get it, it's historical
So, you can stop with the hysteria. And stop comparing Obama to Lincoln and MLK. Those men have accomplishments to point to. Obama has done nothing other than win a popularity contest. And considering who he was up against, whoop-di-damn-doo.
I'm embarrassed that there are public schools pushing their agenda so blatantly that they stopped school to show the pomp and circumstance.
I'm just so shocked (cue the sarcasm) that whatever channel I turned it to, it was all about him. Be careful of worshiping false deities. I wish the guy nothing but the best, but I am furious at Katie Couric, her portrayal of what lays ahead for him. I wish people were this kind to W. He may not have been a genius, but to call anyone the Anti-Christ, or treat them as such, just does a disservice to those people that are truly evil. Folks, here's a real news flash for you, the people that want you dead because you have freedom are evil.

when the opportunity strikes
It's nice to know that apparently there is an inauguration, coronation or christening happening here today/tomorrow (depends on when you read this), but I thought you'd like to know how one major university is handling it. Pretty sad, in my estimation. I'm curious what they did when JFK or even Bobby Kennedy were assassinated.
So, about this national bailout....interesting read. I've been against this idea from the get-go, for one simple reason. It's taking taxpayers (re:yours and my $$$) and giving it to institutions that can't manage themselves. Like bringing a recovering junkie to a Dead concert, I swear.
My boys at the 'Cuse got worked tonight. But I'll live, because the Big East is ridiculous with talent and their next game is at home in the Dome vs. Louisville. I hope for a run and gun fest, honestly!
So if Rodney Harrison makes the same hit that Ryan Clark did last night, is it still legal? I'm just sayin', that's all.
That's all for now.

Random doesn't even begin to describe it
Alrighty there faithful reader (face it, even I know there's only one of you out there right now).
So much has happened since the last time I wrote anything (12/4/08), that I wouldn't know where to begin. I'm definitely still not ready to discuss the passing of my Dad. I will some day, I'm sure, but now isn't the time, and I still wonder if the internet is the place.
I've made the decision to do my best to type up something everyday. My goofy life deserves something, and you will probably laugh or go, 'WTF?' after reading what I have to say. I plan on writing on 3 major topics-Sports, politics and the ladies. Not necessarily in that order.
Part of the reason I'm able to do this again is that I'm once again unemployed. So stupid, but I truly don't feel bitter. I'm upset at the business decision, because I completely disagree with it. It still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me now, and it's been over a week. The other reason I'm doing this is that I was finally starting to make some headway with how my career was going, and had the idea that since it was going so well, I could take on the task of regularly writing about how things were going in the exciting world of software sales.
So before I get to some random items, let me state that when it comes to sports, I will be leaning heavily on my beloved Sox, Celtics, Patriots, Syracuse mens hoops, the Bruins and then going with the national stories. Granted, I live in Denver, but I loathe the Broncos, still think the Nuggets are the Thuggets, and will until Kenyon Martin is gone, and still know that the Avs would have been awesome if there were no salary cap, and the Rockies are a joke-which is fine, means cheap tickets if I decide to stay here.
When it comes to the ladies, I will inform you that in order to placate my Ma and my own curiousity, I joined up with an internet dating site....let the hilarity ensue. I can guarantee that it will, and that I will be letting you, my faithful companion on this joyride of nuttiness that I will give a lot of details on how things go. Call it a progress report, I call it the torture file.
As for politics, please know that I don't lean to the 'right', I am my own man and don't conform to a party, or what used to be a party. I'm a firm believer in doing it on your own, not relying on hand outs. Your friends will help you, but you must help yourself. I firmly believe that effort needs to be rewarded for those that are truly trying, not complaining that good things don't happen to them. What have you done to put yourself in position to succeed? If you can answer that question solidly, then it's all good in my book. No effort, no reward.
Now, onto the random:
This is an old article by a guy who used to be on the 'Sports Reporters' on ESPN, and he always made me think that I'd like to watch a ballgame with him, it's regarding how well Bud Selig screwed up yet another moment for baseball......I can't wait until he goes away.
After traveling to Seattle many months ago, and listening to some locals, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if there is a Starbucks induced riot. I thought this gentleman's idea was borderline sarcastic/brilliant.
Someone needs to give this kid an atomic wedgie. Why? Because there is no answer to the question that is woman. If anyone tells you that they have the answer, they're lying. I'll back it up with an example: Last night I was a birthday party, and ran into someone I haven't seen in a long time. She's now dating someone, and thinks things are going great. "Where is Mr. Wonderful?" 'He's in Vegas at a bachelor party-but he says he doesn't like strip clubs.' Really? I mean, Really????? Every guy likes strip clubs, porn, bacon, peanut butter, beer and football. I they don't, then they aren't guys. And if they tell you they don't like any of the above-ladies, they are lying to you. Don't believe me at your own peril.
A little bit of politics-Brent Bozell from the Media Research Center has a good one for all those who scream that 'W. Sucks!' to gnaw on. I'd do it but I'm trying to get out of the way of the stampede that is the Mainstream Media running to be the first to blow Obama at the podium on Tuesday for his coronation...I meant inauguration.
On more thing...to the people of California and Proposition 8. Those wanting marriage defined as anything other than between man and woman put it up to a vote and lost. Much like the Obamaniacs, here's my retort to those that are now fighting it, beating up old ladies in front of churches and protesting outside of Sundance...'DEAL With it.' See, I didn't think you'd like it. Funny, when you lose, you want to change the rules, but I'm supposed to abide by them. Curious, wouldn't you say?
Anyone remember Kevin Pittsnogle? Well, here's an update-God do I love stories from West Virginia-they write themselves, and no one is surprised.
This, and there is only one word to describe this incident, is disgusting. I'd be willing to bet that these are the types of white kids that everyone knows is privileged and would only be tough in the '5-of-us and one-of-you' scenarios. I've got a good mind to go to this school and take a dump at halfcourt. If these kids aren't booted then I'm definitely writing a strongly worded letter to the administration for an answer as to why, and why these kids should even be allowed near a book. Clearly in the other 9 years of formal education it didn't work. I have an even better thought for the next school that has black players that has a road game @ Servite; bring the Wu-Tang Clan. Bet you won't hear a peep. Morons and hypocrites are just a couple of words that come to mind.
I love Big East basketball...this just makes me giggle. I love the reaction of the announcers.
So, this is where everything stands right now. Time to put together my grocery list for tomorrow morning...I live in MILF/Cougar central. Desperate Housewives would be putting it politely. Now if only I were pig enough to act on it.....
So much has happened since the last time I wrote anything (12/4/08), that I wouldn't know where to begin. I'm definitely still not ready to discuss the passing of my Dad. I will some day, I'm sure, but now isn't the time, and I still wonder if the internet is the place.
I've made the decision to do my best to type up something everyday. My goofy life deserves something, and you will probably laugh or go, 'WTF?' after reading what I have to say. I plan on writing on 3 major topics-Sports, politics and the ladies. Not necessarily in that order.
Part of the reason I'm able to do this again is that I'm once again unemployed. So stupid, but I truly don't feel bitter. I'm upset at the business decision, because I completely disagree with it. It still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me now, and it's been over a week. The other reason I'm doing this is that I was finally starting to make some headway with how my career was going, and had the idea that since it was going so well, I could take on the task of regularly writing about how things were going in the exciting world of software sales.
