red sox

Yes the Angels won the division. But again they go up against the Red Sox. why the Red Sox again? Well the Yankees should get the Red Sox. But they don't. Because they try to switch up teams from the same division in the first round. So instead of that great Yankees Red Sox battle to finish. The Angels get the Red Sox. Not say I am not excited. But I can say I have been at the Angels Red Sox playoff games. So I know that feeling. That losing feeling. I felt it. I don't want to feel it again. At least its going to be Anaheim the first 2 games. So here we go again. As famous as the Red Sox are. shouldn't the word sox be in spell checker? All the sox are lit up yellow. It is a not bad spelled word.

celebrate

I was watching ESPN. When they were showing the Angels celebrating the division championship. They were throwing beer on the a jersey. I thought. that is strange. Isn't that the player that got killed by a drunk driver. And now they are pouring beer on his jersey. It is kind of shocking. When I first saw it. I had to go back. To watch it again. Because I could not believe what I was seeing. But then. I thought that is there tradition. The last thing they wanted to do was disrespect their team member, So I was OK what they did. They wanted to keep him as a part of the team. So if they were all spraying each with beer. Its OK. That they sprayed his jersey with it too. People might have a problem with it. And I understand that too.

favre

I knew he was going to do it. The problem he would never stop trying. You give him one play and he could do it. Its just one of those things. He never quits. Its one of those things. You can't give him another shot. I remember when Montana did that too. Montana did it a bunch of times too. So I knew it could happen. Because the players believed it too. That's why. It could happen. And it did. Maybe that's why he came back. Because where else in his life can he make that kind of moment happen? Where else can he exhibit that kind of play. That throw. That catch. Maybe that is a moment that happens in sports. We all need that kind of stubbornness in our lives. You give me some time. I will make it happen. That's what he did. I am not really upset either. Because its just nature. And really and until you have seen it happen. You really don't understand.

halloween

I want to meet the genius who first got the idea of opening the Halloween stores? What a bright idea. Just look for store spaces that are not being used. Because a store went bankrupt. Then open a Halloween store just for the month of October. Its always a dream site seeing that first Halloween store advertisement come in September. You know fall is around the corner. The Halloween stores are becoming so profitable. They are using bigger and bigger buildings. Where does all the Halloween stuff go at the end of Halloween? Is it in the same warehouse that has the 4Th of July fireworks? I bet when the first Halloween superstores opened up. You thought wtf? But now its a tradition. They are everywhere. Kids are growing up in those stores. The kids will have memories of their trips to the stores. Then they will bring their kids. I have to say I like the stores. I don't get costumes. But I do like to go in and see what kind of sunglasses they got going. In fact I already tried to go in. But they are not open yet. A couple of years ago. I used to laugh at the stores. But now they are tradition. Sweet.

ac

Is it not fall? Why is my AC still running at full blast? Is it global warming that is making the AC run? Because it is still hitting high 80's here. When we were told it was fall. The Halloween stores are starting to open. And we are still hitting high 80's. Summer was fun. But its too dam hot here. Especially since its football season. Football season means cooler temperatures. Not anymore. Football season means cooler temperatures might come soon. But not yet. Whats going to happen to all the business that depend on colder weathers. like tanning salons? who needs a tanning salon. when you can just lay out and get tan. Spray on tan. Who needs that when you can just walk outside and get tan. Whats going on here? They said San Francisco was supposed to hit 100 degrees this past week. Well of course that did not happen. Because that would take a miracle. Wouldn't. But i wouldn't be surprised that in this weather climate. It actually happens.

parking

I don't like the fact that when you get a room at a hotel. You have to pay extra for parking. Why is the parking extra. Its part of the hotel. If you stayed at the motel 6 you would not have to pay for parking. But because you are at an expensive hotel it is extra? It costs us 25 dollars to park at a hotel where we were staying. Where are the hotel patrons suppose to park for free? it seems like just another way to screw the paying customer. They do not tell you that when you sign up. do they? you stay at their hotel. So what are they going to charge for next? Using their bathrooms? their gyms. It would extra to have a maid clean up if you stay more than one day? It seems like its is just a way to make more money.

nba

I bought a couple of shorts that say NBA. Their NBA shorts. But I thought since they said NBA. They were cool to wear. Because I got the shorts at Wal mart. But if they say Wal mart. I would have bought them. Someone asked me what team the shorts are from. I said hawks. Because they are black and red. But in reality I don't know if they belong to any team. But its the question if something bought at Wal mart is cool to wear. Because people hate Wal mart.Tthey say Wal mart is evil. They do not allow unions. Do not want to pay health insurance. Their pay is low. I feel bad for the workers. But what am I suppose to do about it? Not shop there. I shop there for the same reason other people shop there. It is cheap. We are a recession. So of course we are heading to Wal mart. Where should we shop? Where we can't afford it. I don't think Wal mart is the problem here. Its the other stores. The ones that over charge people. Because they all have their clothes made for the same price. They just overcharge.

magic number

Is that time again. When people look for the magic number. What is the magic number? Its the teams need to get to clinch the division. The magic number for the angels now is 5. The number lowers every time the angels win or the rangers lose. Its nerve racking. because its score board watching. 5 doesn't seem like a bad number but every day that number doesn't lower. It is depressing. It makes me nervous. I know they are going to win the division. I just wish they would do it sooner. And not make us wait. Soon the playoffs start and that's a new nervousness.

egg

When I was in high school. In my my Home Ec. class. They gave us some eggs to take for a week. They marked them. So we could not just get any egg and trade it in. Being the bad father that I am. I left my egg in my locker all week long. I only took it out for Home Ec. class. I had some fun with the assignment. I would gently move other people's desk with my feet trying to knock down their eggs. I know I am funny. Well I never did break anybodies egg. But my own. I guess my egg sitting in my cold locker all night. Was just too much for the poor egg. All that time alone. Without his daddy broke my egg's heart. Suddenly in the middle of Home Ec. class. My egg just cracked wide open. It hurt me so much I just left the class. I could not even clean up my egg. I just left it there. Finally I cleaned it up. But the experience of bad fatherhood. Has followed me all the way today. No kids. And now you know why. I have not been able to look at an egg. Since that day. I can't eat eggs. When someone eats an egg in front of me. I cry.

tree

A couple of years we bought this a little pine tree. A Christmas tree. It was small. We had it in the living room. But it was dieing there. Drying up. It was sad. Of course it was kind of my fault. I never remembered to give it water. Why can't it get its own water I thought? OK no I did not think that. But funny I never did remember. It was upsetting. This is our future Christmas tree. What's going to happen if it dies? No more Christmas. Maybe it would be karma. Christmas should be gone for us forever. Because we could not keep this baby tree alive. All I needed was to keep this baby tree alive and we would have a Christmas tree forever. We could plant it. It would be the family Christmas tree. When we would all gather around for Christmas 50 years from now. They would ask the story about that tree. That tree has been in the family for 50 years. It was started in the family room. Well it looked grim. The tree was dieing. Sadly. But no. We would not give up on the tree. We put it outside. Where sunshine is everywhere. And we watered it. I am happy to report the tree made a comeback. Yes it is a strong tree. No I do not know if it is ready to take over the duties of Christmas tree. But soon it will.

trades

So you bought a jersey from your favorite team. Not the cheap imitation. Not the cheap knockoff sold outside the stadium. But the real one. It was not cheap. But it is your favorite team. And you chose wisely. Because it is a jersey you will wear for years. Since the player is a future all-star. What? That future all-star got traded by your favorite team. You can't show up to the game wearing that jersey. He is not one of the family anymore. He got blacksheeped out. And you do want to join him by wearing the jersey. Bad memories. I know. What are you going to do? I know. If you had gone with a legendary player. You would have been alright. But you did not. So what can you do? Well the team should exchange the jersey free of charge. Or at least change the name and number of the jersey free of charge. Its not your fault he was traded. You are just being a good fan. A loving fan. And what kind of love does the team showing return? Nothing you are stuck with with this worthless jersey. And they expect you to buy a jersey of the player he was traded for. The jersey is not even a year old. They should make the jerseys with Velcro so you can switch the names and numbers. Because you never know what your favourite player ends up doing? Missing the game 7 winning shot? Giving up a 9Th inning game 7 world series home run? Fumbling at the 1 yard line in the super bowl. In the last minute. Going for the winning touch down. Kills his ex wife and her lover. Gives up the game 7 winning shot in the Stanley cup. Calls a time out in the NCAA final that your team does not have. Pukes in the game winning drive in the super bowl and the team loses.

karaoke

There certain songs you should not do karaoke on. But that is what is so fun about karaoke. That it lets you find out how hard the songs from your favourite bands are. The song that I found extremely difficult to sing is. Scorpions : Still loving you. If you hear it on YouTube you would not think it was that difficult. But I did not have the ability to keep the song going for a couple minutes without stopping. On top of that you have to have your voice move inside your lungs and spit it out for a while. I was very impressed with it. At one point trying to keep my voice going from one range to another I started to puke. It was not fun. But it made me appreciate the song. It me made appreciate the the vocal range of Klaus Meine. That is not the only song that I had problems with. The Doors: Crystal Ship. Another songthat is guided mostly by voice. That one was hella embarrassing when I was singing it. I had trouble keeping the song moving without taking breaks on it.

pregnant

Don't be that pregnant woman at the club. God sent you a message he got you pregnant. You have the gift of life. God sent you another message. Stay out of the nightclubs. At least until the baby pops out. Not to say the gift of life is not beautiful. Because it is. But you already found that dream guy to make that baby. So don't be at the club. Even though your glow is sexy. Let the club be for women who are still looking for that dream guy to make babies together. You and your dream guy should be at home watching TV. Nude together while he rubs your belly with coco butter. Making plans. To make the life of your baby wonderful. Not to say you can't return to the club. Once your baby is born. And your mother is willing to baby sit. As long as you and the dream guy are not together of course. Because if you are still together. Then you should be making baby number two. Not be at the club and stopping other women who are looking for their dream guy form making a connection. Unless your dream guy number one. turned out to be false.

icp

I wear ICP t shirts. ICP is a musical group called Insane Clown Posse. They were big back in 1990's. On Sunday I was wearing an ICP t shirt. I was at a liquor store. Somebody came up to me to and said ICP. I forgot I was wearing an ICP t shirt. In fact I forgot who ICP was. I thought he was talking about a gang. Since I was wearing shorts with long blue lines. This guy is asking me if i am in a gang. C being short for Crips. As you can guess now. I was in the ghetto. Well then he says I opened for ICP twice. Then I remembered that I was wearing an Insane Clown Posse t shirt. Shit. how stupid am I. So I was thinking I get a lot of shit for wearing ICP t shirts. But that was the first time that someone praised one of my ICP t shirts. Since I have 3 of them. The truth is I never really listened to ICP. But I am a big fan. I have seen interviews and concert videos. They are funny as hell. But that is not the point is it?

mtv

Even though I do not condone what Kayne did. I can see why he was pissed. I grew up on MTV. I was there from the beginning. I remember when MTV was cool. Not some tool in a corprate juggernaut that is Viacom. What happened to MTV? When did MTV start giving awards to barbie doll teenage country singers? Who even votes on the MTV video awards? I was trying to google to figure it out. But I got no information. Even in the press release I can't find out who officially nominates for the awards. Is it former winners? Is it executives at Viacom? Who does it? Really it just seems like another corporate game. They choose the nominees and the winners. Is that really fair? And we watch what they figure out to be the winners. Can the MTV video awards even be taking seriously at all? Its seems like a joke to me. No wonder Kayne was pissed. Viacom trying to push some barbie doll up there as a winner as best female video. And we have to accept it? Because we are some kind of mindless sheep. I don't even watch MTV anymore. When I was a kid. I had a TV in my room. It had no remote control. It was pre-remote control. So I had it on one channel MTV. Now I can't even remember the last time I actually watched it.

16

Today being the 16 of September. Its Mexican independence day. Its like the 4Th of July here in America. I know its the 16Th. But its sad that most people here don't know. I was in a Mexican restaurant earlier tonight. They were watching TV with a countdown clock. Till midnight. at midnight the celebration begins. its totally different when it comes to Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo is the 5Th of may which is a big party holiday here in America. But in Mexico its barely recognized. But during those times every Mexican restaurant and bar would have banners from The liquor companies announcing the party. But not on the 16Th. Which is barely recognized here. maybe not even a pebble. which is extremely sad. But in all examples most people have no clue when Canada's birthday is July 1st.

big toe

Its all my big toes fault. my right big toe. The fat toe. The thumb toe. I don't know what the big toe is called? But you get the idea which toe I am talking about. Well that always make a hole in my shoes. Perfectly good shoes. And its happening again. and it is depressing me. I like these shoes. But now its shoe life is shortened because of that big toe. And why is always that big toe. For once I wish it would be the other big toe. But it isn't. Its like my toe insist on making a hole in every shoe I wear. Like it used to be a penis in its past life and it wants to be again. I like the spirit of the toe. It just needs to go through. But it makes my shoes useless. Sad. I know. I think about putting some kind of padding above the big toe area. So it has protection. No not that kind of protection you pervert. And not that kind of pad either. No football pads. Pads worn by women in the 80's as shoulder pads. Or the pad women use on that time of month. Even though i figure that pad would do the job.

captain

Vernon Davis was named captain by the San Francisco 49ers. This is great. This is what team unity is all about. Yes Vernon was kicked off the field by Singletary during the end of a game. But he got a chance to better the situation and he took it. Now he is ready to lead the team. The rest of the team elected him captain. That is respect. It makes me proud to be a 49ers fan. It just says so much of the team. Of the organization that this is taking place. So many times you hear about people shouting Christain vaules. But rarely do you see it take place. This is one of those times. When you take every piece of the puzzle and make every piece feel important. You give leadership roles to people who have shown they are ready to lead. By choosing someone like Vernon Davis. Someone who would be the unlikeliest choice from history. You open up new energy to acheive your goals as a team. It makes every memeber realize their is reward in a changing for the better. Because when people just see the same pieces being put to use. Things get stale. So instead of going for the easy choice. The team took a risk. That pays better in teamwork. Because logical means no advancement. Because logical choices are not new choices. When the team feels a logical choice is taking place. The team will feel they do not have the freedom to experiment. So their is no advancement. Just stuck in limbo.

macs

I used to not like macs. Because I thought mac users were a bunch snobs. Like they are better than anybody else. Because they use a mac. But now since I have been using a mac. I too have fallen under macs love spell. I too am thinking of turning my life over every apple. Not because the macs are any better. But because the keyboards are so nice to touch. So rubbery. So sweet like the feel of a rubber ball. Not like that hard plastic that my laptop has. Like the sweet movement of a freshly grown plum falling from the trees. Hitting the ground and meeting mother earth.

broke ass fans

I am a man. and I do what men do on Sundays in the fall. Football. Not just any football. NFL football. Thank god being a 49er fan. They have fans that buy tickets. Unlike the team on the other side of the Bay Bridge. So the games are not blacked out. In fact I can't remember a game ever being blacked out. So its kind of sad and I do feel bad for those fans that bad that made that bad choice. What bad choice you ask? Well that bad choice of rooting for a team that has broke ass fans. The raiders have broke ass fans. They always have blacked out games. And why shouldn't they? They do have a black hole. And they do wear black. But the 49ers do not have broke ass fans. Because they never have black outs. A lot of teams have broke ass fans. Its one thing if the teams are bad. But when the fans are bad than that's when you have a black out. So if you kids and they are at that age that they are choosing what NFL team to fall in with. Check the list on black outs. If a team has black outs this season. Try to encourage them to fall in love with a another team. A team with no black outs. Like the 49ers. Because broke ass fans will break your heart. How can you watch a team that will not be on TV?

doubles

Watching doubles tennis is not exciting enough. We need some action. Like when one of them misses the shot. The other is got to yell at them for a while. I want to see some action. Especially the William's sisters. You know they want yell at each other when something goes bad. They show no emotion. I want to see people arguing over whose shot it was. It was on your side. No it was on your side. Whatever. I would be the worst doubles partner ever. I would just let the other player get the ball. They would play tennis and I would just talk shit instead. You suck. Your slower than a parked car. That would be my job. I would just stand in front of the net and just talk shit. I would flipp them off once in a while. All that shit. Laugh at them when they miss. I will laugh at them. When my partner misses a shot I will complain. When we lose I will blame my partner for the loss. And if we win i will take full credit.

jim brown

I was at a comedy show. When Jim Brown came in. At first I did not think it was him. Since he had a cane with him. And not one of those cool canes that rappers use. But a real cane. Like a medical cane. And some hot 20something year old. I am sure most people who did not know it was him would have thought it was his daughter. But I knew that it is not his daughter. I had no idea that Jim used a cane. And it goes to show. Someone who was maybe the greatest running back ever in the NFL. Is not immune from having his legs go bad. Which is scarey. This man who is still known as someone who tried to end gang wars. Comes in and gives me that look. Yes its me Jim Brown. Yes I need a cane to walk and yes I still get 20 something year olds. I have seen so many interviews of Jim Brown. I guess I never thought I would see him with a cane. Kind of sad. But I have no doubt he can still kick my ass. I can see how the gangs listened to him. That is not one man you want to fuck with.

no angels cry

What kind of an asshole decided to ship off the Angels to Kansas City for Labor Day weekend. Is their a team that does less labor than Kansas City. OK the Pirates. But yes Kansas City. And guess where i was Labor Day weekend? Yes Los Angeles. How did the MLB put the Angels in Labor Day weekend in KC. The hard working Angels deserved to be somewhere nice on Labor Day. Somewhere like Anaheim. I wanted to see my angels so bad in Anaheim. Mickey Mouse sucks. So I did not even step into Anaheim or the OC. It would be nice. But in a way. Its good because when I go into the Big A. I think of all the new fans. Who never suffered like some of us suffered. 1986 was painfully sad. These new fans with their red caps. Who arrived with the World Series Championship in 2002. It just doesn't feel like our Big A anymore. Its theirs. The red cap fans. Not the blue cap fans. But its still my and our Angels. And yes I missed them much.

nails

I chew my nails. I don't know why some people have a problem with that. They think its a bad habit or just plain bad. But I am just thankful that I was not born a woman. Because I could not chew my nails. Because I want them nicely painted to make myself look sexy. With chewing nails with paint on them you will get high. Maybe that is a plus. Maybe that is a good reason. I don't see chewing on nails a bad habit. But some see it as a nervous disorder. Nice. But it could be worst. I could be flexible like a gymnast. So I would chew on my toe nails. Toe nails are just as yummy as regular nails are. So what have we learned today? Do not disturb Chris when he is chewing on his nails. If you see Chris stretching out. He is not trying give himself oral sex. He is trying to chew on his toe nails. Sadly no one has offered their nails for me to chew on. Maybe that should be part of a marriage. You get to chew on your spouse's nails. Especially if the nails are long and sexy with diamonds glued on.

church

Churches need to get with the program. Churches are fine except in the fall. When football season starts. That's why Church's need to put big screen TVs for the for Churchgoers. More people would go to church. If Churches would have TVs. So they can watch the game. While loving Jesus. Because loving Jesus is important. But loving football is important too. We do live in the west coast. When the NFL starts at 10am. Being at church at 8am. Is a problem. Because you can't be shitfaced on Saturday night. So you should be able to love Jesus and the NFL. What would Jesus do? Jesus would watch football too? I don't know. But I do know Church's would get a lot more donations if they had big screen TVs in them. I am not saying that they need to have the volume on. I know the preacher has to give the inspirational speech to keep the flock excited for the week. So its a win win situation.

getty

I went to both Getty's this weekend. The villa and the other one. I liked the villa. But I was struck on how funny it was that that J. Paul Getty made his fortune in oil. Which is funny because even though the museums are free. They do charge for parking. And why not? Oil is part of cars. Which is part of parking. But what really struck me. Is that he made this money off the Middle East oil. So he could be one of the people responsible for all the problems in the Middle East. Some people in the Middle East got rich too. But it took companies with knowledge to get the oil out. So instead of building these museums with all this blood oil money. To show off artifacts which belong to the people of those countries they belong too. Send the money to help the poor people of the Middle East. Send their money back home. That way we can end all this hatred. All these wars. Because the truth is Getty made money off all of us car drivers. So we already paid for the right to see the museums. Free is not free.

obama

Why should it be mandatory that the kids listen to the Obama speech. Most adults don't bother to listen to the president speak. When Obama schedules a speech. They will if they are in front a TV. Listen. Maybe DVR it. But they do not watch the whole thing. Before you had no choice. The president would be on every channel. But not know. We got choices. Even though he is the president. Most people watch the speeches before they are elected. But afterwards they don't. We wait for CNN or Fox News to show us the highlights. We wait for Letterman to show us the lowlights. So before people get upset about some parents do not want their kids to watch Obama. I understand. Personally I do not even understand why he is making this speech. This is not some communist country where the leader speaks for five hours and they are giving a quiz later to see if they were paying attention. i think Obama is using the kids speech trying to hide the fact his health care plan is going no where.

101

At the end I was upset by the fact that all the bridge closures in the San Francisco area did not have signs alerting us to take 101 freeway. Like it was our responsibilities to figure that out ourselves. Or the fact they did not tell us where we could take the 101 freeway. Lucky for me. I already knew. Maybe all the police they had making sure no one could enter the Bay Bridge. Should have been used to let us know where the 101 was. Being the good driver that I am I decided to take the San Mateo Bridge both ways. I do have to say the view on the San Mateo is very beautiful. I could actually see San Francisco when I was on it during the day. It made me wonder. Why not build a bridge that connects the San Mateo and Bay bridges together. Like a super bridge. Well one can dream can't they? At the end the horror stories of the traffic were non reality. But I am proud that I still did not fall for the Bay Bridge closure is OK bullshit.

8PM

8PM is the time the Bay Bridge closes. But are they going to let people on it until 8pm? So if its 759pm you beat the closure. So if its 8pm and you are on the Bay Bridge are they going to let you cross all the way. Or they going to dump your car in the ocean? So as long as I am on the Bay Bridge by 8pm. I am OK. But the Brainwash starts at 7pm. So I have to sign up to be one of the first three. To make sure I make it on the bridge by 8pm? Why is the bridge being closed ta 8pm. Because only the people with jobs count. They figure everybody who work the regular hours of 9-5p will be out by then. So if you do not work the regular hours you are screwed. Its all about normal. Normal people work 9-5pm. Normality sucks. Why not just close it at midnight. Because they are trying to prevent some drunk individuals from driving across hoping to make it. By 8pm they figure no one is drunk at that hour. But really are those couple of hours that big of a difference? Bonus pay?

bay bridge

I saw a picture of the new Bay Bridge. And I realized they are putting bike lanes to the bridge. Which started me wondering if this whole expansion is just to have bike lanes. Which really pissed me off. When did bike riders bring money into the economy. They bring no money into the economy. No gas money. No taxes. No bridge tolls. Where is the money coming from? Is Lance Armstrong paying for this expansion? This is crazy. We are in a recession. We have no money to add bike lanes to the Bay Bridge. If bike riders want to cross the Bay Bridge they should have to pay a bridge toll like everybody else. Do not tell me these bike riders are getting a free ride. They do not get a free ride on Bart. Why should they get free ride on the Bay Bridge?
