I'm looking forward to the start of the 2nd half of the baseball season. I think if the Yankees have any shot at the post season, the next month is really a time when they need to go 20-10 and gain some momentum. They have a 4 game series against Tampa Bay, then they play Toronto, Tampa Bay at home, Kansas City, and then Baltimore. These are all pretty crappy teams that any respectable team should beat up on. If Pettitte, Wong and Clemens keep pitching solidly, I think they can do well. Get a few quality starts from Musina, and they can easily go 20-10. Hopefully the A-Rod negotiations won't be a distraction for him and the rest of the team
That show with Shaq is complete crap. I love the idea behind it, but it's so bogus. The episode I watched the other night made Shaq seems like Superman. At one point in the show, his program was in jeopardy. There was a new school superintendent (Chalmers), and he didn't want his kids taking part in the Shaq program. Shaw makes a few phone calls and then the next scene Shaq is talking to the school principle and she is saying the program is back on. They made it seem like Shaq did all the leg work. When it's far more likely that ABC's lawyers climbed way up the ass of the new super intendant and told him/her that they would sue the crap out of them if they shut the show down. Plus all the bad PR. I mean, what school district wants the stigma that they don't want to help obese kids lose weight and become healthy. One interesting aspect of the show was they made the kids all run 1 mile. It took the average kid about 13-14 minutes to complete. I'm gonna run a mile either tonight or tomorrow, and see how quick I could do it. I think I could almost walk a mile in 14 minutes. I know I do 6 minute miles on the elliptical, but I think their electronics exaggerated your time a bit. I'm guessing I could do a mile in about 7-8 minutes.
I know I shouldn't be comparing myself to obese 12 year olds, but Im obsessed with statistics and performance. Like when I hear that a pro golfer can hit a 7 iron 190 yards, I love comparing that to my 155-160 yards. Or when I read in Mens Health that the average adult male cam do X amount of pushups. I like to be one notch above average.
The World Series of Pop Culture is great. I didn't know if I would like it as much as I did last year, but Im swept right back up into it. I've only watched two episodes so far, but I feel like I don't know as many answers this season. So maybe they have made it tougher.
I heard this funny story about Will Farrel. Supposidly he showed up a Neil Diamond concert dressed as Neil Diamond and "doing" Neil Diamond. Now that's funny.
What's up with James Hetfield's facial hair? I saw a clip of Metallica playing at Live Earth and he looked like he should be in ZZ-Top. I remember when Metallica used to be the epitome of cool. Now they just seem so lame.
Speaking of lame, The Smashing Pumpkins calling themselves the Smashing Pumpkins is ridiculous. It's Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain who was kicked out of the band originally for being a heroin addict. It's funny too, because the new bassist tries to look like Darcy the old bassist. But that song Tarantula is pretty awesome. I saw them perform on Letterman the other night and BillY Corgan is so smooth when playing guitar he almost looks bored.
When Apple first announced the iPhone, I thought $500 sounded ridiculous. But now that I've played with one (owned by a friend at work), I so want one. I think if the price drops to the $300-$400 range, when my 2 year contract expires next summer, I may get one. My Treo used to seem pretty awesome. Still pretty cool, but when compared to the iPhone it's left in Apple's dust. We were connected via WiFi at work, so the iPhone seemed faster than a PC. I can check my mail, browse news sites, do Google searches and stuff on my Treo, but since it uses the cell signal, it's very slow. It's like being back on dialup.
Finally tried a P'zone last night. I ordered a classic P'zone which wasn't a smart decision. I thought the classic had more meat in it, but it was filled with mostly red onions and peppers. I like red onions and peppers but not as the main filling.
I heard that they added the word ginormous to the dictionary. That's so stupid. But not as dumb as adding the word smackdown. How soon before Shizzle is in the dictionary? It's funny that they also added the word crunk. I remember when Conan O
Brien first came on the air, he wanted to make the word crunk a replacement for traditional curses. He almost got his wish. If they are going to add smackdown, they better add bitchslap and pimphand.

Wow that is a lot to process ...
I played with my bosses' Iphone and it is awesome, but I'll wait till the prices drop.
I have been listening to the new smashing pumpkins and I like it more than I have enjoyed old SP music. One of the songs is in the movie Transformers.
James Hetfield was stopped at an airport becasue tehy thought his beard was to taliban like *NO FUCKIN LIE!!*
WSOP is much harder this season.
I bet I could do a mile in under 10 minutes
LOL, yeah I was all over the place.
Glad you like the new Smashing Pumpkins. I'm gonna have to send you some of my favorite older tracks. Some of their older stuff really rocks.
Yeah I heard about James tonight on my way home. Too funny. He looks like an ass with that beard.
I ran a mile tonight in 11 minutes. I ran in my neighborhood which is on pavement and lots of ups and downs, but it was harder than I expected.
