Jamie Lee and guacamole!

I meant to write about this the other day...

I was flipping through the channels the other night and True Lies was on TNT HD. It was the scene where Jamie Lee Curtis doing
the stripper dance for Ahnold. Very hot.

Then a few minutes later, I come across a commercial with Jamie Lee Curtis (who looks to be about 70) eating Activia. WTF!?

This is a worst transformation than Carry Fischer.

Does this mean 15 years down the road Miley Cyrus is going to be doing Monistat commercials? Hot!



On a side note, there's a local radio show here on WJFK that has a friday segment called "Snacks of the Round Table". The two
hosts, along with one or two staff members and two listeners each bring a snack to the table. They each try the snack, then
they each rate it from 1-5. One of the items they reviewed a few weeks ago was Spicy Guacamole Pringles. They are fantastic!
Doesn't really taste like guacamole, but they taste great!

On my Mind...Part Deux

Speed Stick 24/7 is the strongest anti perspirant I've ever used. It's crazy. I can get in the shower, run my armpits
under the water, and they still stay dry. Crazy.

I have this co-worker who's rather flamboyant (annoying). He's always doing things that scream out "Hey look at me, I'm
different". When people ask him about his quirky behavior, he practically salivates at the chance, then behind their backs he
talks about how close minded they are. Geesh. His latest attention grabber is replacing his desk chair with a large red pilattes
ball. They were nice enough to buy everyone a nice $400 Herman Miller chair, and he chooses to sit on a red ball that cost $10!
Everytime I walk past him and see him sitting on that damn thing, I want to kick it out from under him. But I know if I do
he will swing at me, and I will powerless against a man with such a strong core, hamstrings and glutes! Oh and did I mention
he wears capri pants? He calls them cabana shorts, but come on, they're ladies capri pants.

Played golf last night after work. The weather was crazy here yesterday. 30 mph wind gusts and seasonable cool. So it was quite
an adventure out there. The co-worker I play with (who sits in a desk chair), is a much better golfer than me, and he struggled
pretty badly as well. It was just tough keeping the ball on line. There was this particular par 3 (hole #8 I believe), which is
positioned around a lake. The wind was particularly strong there. So I aimed at the bunker about 10 yards to the right of the
green and booyah, my ball landed right in the middle of the green. Now if I only I had figured that out after 2 or 3 holes
instead of 8.

Why is it that when you're a kid, 24 hours seems like an eternity, but as an adult, 24 hours seems to go by in the blink of
an eye?

The new Mike O'Meara show really sucked the first two weeks, but it's really picked up the last few days and is turning out to
be very entertaining. I guess after Don's "dick move" of retiring 2 months early, Mike and the gang didn't have much time to
get things ironed out and situated for the show. They seem to be a little better prepared now, and the show seems to flow a lot
better. The first couple weeks, it was like they were looking at the clock to see how much longer they had to speak. Now it
seems a lot more natural. And we're getting to hear sides of Buzz and Robb that we never knew about before. The one thing I miss
from the old show is how Don would play an audio clip from a movie or tv show to setup the next segment of the show.
The full show is available via podcast through iTunes and was ranked #10 last week.

The new season of Big Break is pretty good so far. But there's this one woman who's pretty annoying (isnt there always). She
plays golf without shoes. Her excuse was "my golf shoes and I haven't been getting along real well lately". What!?

Judah Friedlander is hysterical. It's no wonder he's been the world champ for 14 years straight!

TomGreen.com is awesome! He's taken the whole Kosmo Kramer route and put a full talk show set in his house. Then he invites
people like Steve O over to his house, video tapes it, then posts it on his site. He now has some kind of mobile command center
that allows him to do his show while on the road, literally while the bus is rolling down the highway, he can interview someone.
I think the Madden cruiser needs to be setup like this, so we can have a John Madden reality/talk show. "Hi, I'm John Madden and
this week, BOOM, I'm eating short ribs with Brett Favre!!!" Are you listening Fox Sportsnet or Frank Caliendo :-).

That's all I got...

Now this is funny!

Yankees Bury Bernie Williams Under New Stadium For Good Luck

NEW YORK—Citing a need for physical and spiritual cleansing after a Boston Red Sox fan entombed a David Ortiz jersey in the floor of the new facility, the New York Yankees buried former centerfielder Bernie Williams under 4,650 pounds of...

En Fuego!!!!

Wow was tonights Yankees vs Red Sox game nutty. Tons of offense. 24 runs, 30 hits. Tomorrow when they play it will probably be 2-1 as a final score. Crazy.

So why en fuego? Well that's how I would describe my golf game from yesterday. Normally when I golf, I'll have a day where Im putting really well, but I can't drive the ball straight. Or I'll drive the ball straight, but my iron play is way off. I was clicking on all cylenders yesterday. The weakest part of my game was probably by long irons, but I was hitting them well enough that I was getting everything close or on the green in regulation. From there, my pitching was really spot on. I was knocking everything within 3-5 feet of the pin. So I was able to one putt a lot of the greens. I had a few two putt greens, but I didn't miss the putt by much. The big thing for me was I didn't 3 putt a single green. As a result, my worst score on any given hole was +1. I ended up parring 5 of the 9 holes and finished the front 9 with a score of 40.

The particular course we played gets really long on the back 9, so I'm not sure I would have been able to score 40 on the back as well, but even if I was 9 strokes worse on the back, I would still break 90. I hope this is a sign of things to come and not a fluke!

First Round

I'm very excited, tonight after work I'm playing 9 holes of golf with a couple of my co-workers. I got to play a par three course in Raleigh over the weekend, but it's not the same as playing a real course.

Last night when I was getting my clubs together, I got so excited, I caught a little wood.

Last night when I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep, I kept thinking about that first drive and how sweet it will be.

I'm trying a new ball this year, I ordered 2 dozen Titleist NXT Tour balls. They are supposed to be close to the Pro V1 but more suited for the average golfer as opposed to tour players.

Man, I love golf!

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger, Tiger Woods Ya'll

A lot of people feel that Tiger Woods is so locked in that he has a good chance of winning the grand slam this year. So as they get ready to tee it up at Augusta, I'm going to predict that Tiger will win 3 of the 4 major this year. I feel confident he will win the Masters this weekend. I don't think he will win the US Open. I think the pure length and the thick rough of the US Open is enough to even frazzle Tiger. I'm also confident he will win the British Open. Tiger has said this is his favorite of the four majors and he seems to take extra pride in preparing for the British Open Championship. I think he has a good chance of winning the PGA Championship, but if he loses the US Open, he may lose a bit of focus and it won't mean as much to him. So I don't feel as confident for him to win the PGA Championship.

Chances of winning the Masters: 90%
Chances of winning the US Open: 60%
Chances of winning the British: 95%
Chances of winning the PGA: 75%

So in summary, I think he's a lock to win 2 of the 4 majors with a very good chance of winning 3 of the 4. But I think he will fall short of winning the slam.

iPod Shuffle

Since the final Don and Mike show is on Friday, the past few weeks they have been playing highlights from over the years. One of the cool things D&M did on their show was where they had everyone on the show bring in their iPods. The iPods were set to shuffle and they listened to the first five songs that came up in peoples shuffles. It proved to be pretty telling about the person. Here's my 5:

Stickshifts and Safety Belts by Cake

Beeswax by Nirvana

Deuces are Wild by Aerosmith

Do the Evolution by Pearl Jam

Boss D.J.by Sublime


What's your 5?

Opening Day

Today is a bitter sweet day. While it's opening day and I'm really excited that baseball is back, I also know that it's the last time opening day will occur at Yankees Stadium. Im sure the new stadium will be awesome next season, but there is just something so special and so magical about the current Yankees stadium. And if Base Ruth put a curse on the Red Sox for trading him, what will he do to the Yankees when they tear down "his" stadium? Yikes.

Last night, I was so hungry for baseball, that I actually tuned in and watched a little of the Nats game. Wow, a walk off home run by your franchise player, what a cool way to win your first game in a new stadium. Almost seems a little too perfect. The new Nationals stadium looks really nice. I just hope the local area fans support the team. Last year, there were a few games where only like 12,000 fans showed up. That's pretty sad. Im sure this season with all the buzz of the new stadium, that they will feel the majority of the seats. It's 3 or 4 years down the road that I see people losing interest. The Nats are in a tough division, so they have their work cut out for them.

I'll finish up by borrowing a David Letterman joke. "It's opening day, and out in Queens, the Mets have been mathematically eliminated".
