Check out this site. Lots of free downloadable songs and some real good bands. Great way to waste time and find some stuff that isn't like the top 40 garbage. Sorry Paul, you won't find any Journey or Foreigner here.

Traffic!



It took me 2 hours to get to work this morning. 2 hours! You should have seen the other robots that were driving beside me too. They all had a blank stare on their face while they sipped their medium regulars. Robbie and I contemplated causing a massive pileup just so we wouldnt have to go into work. We contemplate a lot of things to get us out of work, one of these days we will follow through, oh yes we will.....

My New Hero.......Jimmy OOOOO'Briooooon




"James O'Brion picked up the win for Gordon, allowing just three hits and striking out four in a complete game."


Rumor has it that he throws a nasty knuckleball. Can he be the next Tim Wakefield?

Ownership & Employership



Two pronged question here folks.

If you could own any Pro Sports Franchise which sport would it be? Would you want a NFL, NBA, MLB, maybe even soccer, lax, or the hapless NHL? What would your reasoning for picking that sport be?

If you could work for any company in world which company would it be? Who would you want navigating the company ship that you're aboard?

The Alumni Dance



What a weekend.... There sure did seem to be a lot of college people at this alumni dance. It was kind of strange, I almost felt.... old. This is a great shot though, immediately after this, Neff spilled his Jack and Coke all over my shirt and tie then mowed down about 5 couples on the dance floor.

A little story



So last night I heard a very funny story about Headley. As we all know he went to the Sox game last week with his new girlfriend. Well, the whole game he was screaming dirty sanchez whenever TB's center fielder was out there. Can anyone else imagine how annoying this must have been to the other fans around him? Well I guess people asked him to stop, but he kept doing it the whole game. It turns out that a fan got so annoyed with Headley that he threw him down and gave him a wedgie in front of hundreds of people. Please everyone just picture this. Headley, a grown man, drunk and getting a well deserved wedgie in front of hundreds of people.

Ahh priceless.......

"Forgive them for they know not what they do"



Flipping through the channels two nights ago I came across Damon's episode of MTV Cribs. As he went through the house he came to his dinning room and the first thing Damon pointed out was this picture that hung on the wall. I am not into the whole "this offends me" and "that offends me" cause it is his business what he hangs in his house. However, I am positive this is very wrong and disgusting and it is obvious that Damon doesn't understand what he is accomplishing with this picture. I thought I would have a lot to write when I posted this, but for some reason the words are not coming, I guess I am just shocked.

Cleveland, the cursed sports city!



Lebron hits a triple double and its still not enough to pull us through. Why was I cursed with a undying passion for this cursed sports city? 2 months ago nobody would have said the Cavs weren't going to make the playoffs... now we are out. If we lose Lebron I may tweak out, just giving fair warning.

Mock Draft!




Everytime a new Madden comes out I do this. I gut every teams roster and do a draft with every player avaliable. Well Mike Silver of cnn/si did his own. Interesting stuff, read it here.

I always had a Browns slant when picking, I knew things were a little skewed when I would be picking Jeff Garcia with the 38th overall selection when every player in the world was still avaliable.

Electric Shock-Based Snore Stopper



"The Healthcare Snore Stopper presents a rather interesting, Pavlovian take on preventing snoring by emitting a gentle (“harmless”, they say) electrical signal when it detects your snoring. In theory, your body will learn to stop shocking itself over time in a form of aversion therapy and as a bonus, the device conveniently avoids waking either of you up. It can be worn on the wrist and is available for just about $60. Also, note the clever use of foreground in their product photo. Subtle." (from gizmodo)

I really wish I had one of these to put on Mikey Brown when he was my roomate. That kid snored all the time, it sucked. I used to have to wake him up and then try to fall asleep before he did again. The best time ever was when I woke him up and I told him he was snoring, his classic reply, "Josh I definitely was not snoring, in fact I wasn't even sleeping" ... truly classic stuff.

Please Gas my ASS



I filled up my gas tank yesterday and it cost me $30. I drive a little Mexican Jetta. When I first started driving I owned a VW Golf that cost me $8 to fill up. NO JOKE. As I was driving to work today it got me thinking. There were literally thousands of cars all around and I only drive about a 30 mile stretch out of the thousands and thousands of miles of highway in the US. I had one question, "Who is getting so filthy rich off of us Americans?" I keep reading articles about who is to blame, is it bush, is it the consumer. It is neither. Someone is sucking every last penny out of us and nothing can be done about it, because even if gas reaches $8.32 a gallon I need to drive.

Business Ideas

Well I have been trying hard to come up with something blogworthy the last few days and quite frankly nothing has piqued my interest. While at the gym last night with Pete we got down to discussing possible business ventures that us young group of entrepreneurs could sink our collective minds into. We casually mentioned real estate development and IT maintenance. I think both of these ideas are too saturated right now. Ideas people! Lets get the brain juices flowing! What do you think would be a great idea for a small business?

Gay Athletes!




SI.COM has a new poll

A Few Simple Questions




Can this be done?
Is the competition today better than ever?
Who is the greatest?
Who is your favorite golfer of all time?

Red Sox Celebrate: Yankees Show Class



The Red Sox received their World Series rings yesterday and the Yankees took it all in from the third base dugout. They could have went into the clubhouse and ignored the festivities but they gave the Red Sox the respect they deserved in accomplishing this miraculous dream. All week I had been reading articles about how the Yankees were going to turn off all the TV's in the clubhouse in order to get away from the ceremony, not only did they watch the whole thing they did it in person. I also read about how the Red Sox should rub it in the Yankees faces. Why? This was a time of celebration for something most Red Sox fans have never witnessed. It was and rightly so a celebration of winning the World Series, not beating the Yankees. What it all comes down to is America's pastime is the greatest show on earth, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but in the end it is still a game.

Damn that racist Stern!



Everybody's favorite Irish lad Jermaine O'neal is saying that the NBA shouldn't put an age requirement in place because its racist. How cliche of him to say that. My favorite quote "As a black guy, you kind of think that's the reason why it's coming up. You don't hear about it in baseball or hockey. To say you have to be 20, 21 to get in the league, it's unconstitutional. If I can go to the U.S. army and fight the war at 18, why can't you play basketball for 48 minutes?"..... Hey Jermaine, the NBA is not a government run institution!!!!! That comparison sucks!!!!!

Deep Thoughts With Paul

IF the weekend came quicker I would be happier.

MVP

The Sports guy has a great article on this years NBA MVP. Who do you guys think should be MVP? I think its gotta be my boy LBJ.

Favorite Electronics Store



After catching this article about a guy being arrested for using $2 bills (which Pete and Josh us all the time), I wondered where most of us do our electronic shopping. I really don't like the big guys, Circuit City & Best Buy, so I ussually buy my stuff online from where ever I can find the best deal. Most of the time I go through Amazon but their shipping prices aren't the best. And if I'm going to buy a video game I always buy it from EB.

2 Button Suit?





I bought this suit last week, picked it up last night and am now wearing it..... I didn't realize it was a 2 button suit, I'm not so sure how I feel about this. Comments? Is 2 button not formal enough?

New Technology

Paul forget to mention that his company has also created a new kind of cellular device. Here is Paul testing out the new device.

Deep Thoughts with Paul

If I found a talking monkey I would ask him if he cares his dick was exposed.

Deep Thoughts with Pete

Sometimes at work i like to turn my chair upside down and sit on it. Then people say, "hey your chair is upside down and you are sitting on it." Then we all have a good laugh.

New Technology



As you all know I am not the brightest when it comes to technology. However the company I work for is involved in some pretty cool technology that will be making life even easier for us. Read more here.

Deep Thoughts

How about a little bit or reflection time with Jack Handey.

Baseball Talk

Sorry Latimer it has to be said. In review of the Yankees/Red Sox opening series the only thing that sucked was that two of the games were played while at we all were working. Once again the two teams proved to be more equally matched than any other teams in all of baseball. Both teams starting pitching was solid, both closers were shaky in game two-Rivera exploded in game three helped by an era, and both offenses struggled to get the key hits-the Yanks in game 2 and the Sox in game 3. We are in for another great season of games and most likely a post season that will come down to another game 7 in the Bronx. Does it get any better than this, I am just glad I am a fan of one of these teams.

Cargo Pants



Are cargo pants no longer in style? Is it a fashion mistake to be caught wearing these? Personally I prefer the extra storage and funtionality of these pants, and I still like the look. But I ask YOU, the blog audience (hopefully more fashion gifted)...what is your opinion on cargo pants? How many pairs do you own? When was the last time you threw those bad boys on?

More White Boy Dancing

Check out this crabwalk. Almost as good as my robot.

Tsunami!



According to this nut, America is going to be swept away by giant waves in 2007. Good thing I work, and live within a mile of the ocean. Time to get the ol boogie board out.

Whose hero is he?

On Monday Johnny Damon will release his new book called, ``Idiot: Beating The Curse and Enjoying the Game of Life.'' At that time it will be revealed that he is a true scumbag not an idiot. Some of the reading will include Damon telling his wife that he does not love her anymore, and I quote, "just to push her buttons a little bit, I told her that I was with three woman this past weekend." Damon will also go on to tell about how being a good looking baseball player attracts many many woman and that at one point he had to get another cell phone to handle all the calls. Is he considered a role model? He has broken up a family with beautiful twins to lead a life of womanizing. Damon tries to blame his breakup on his wife, saying that she pushed him to do it because of her nagging. If every married man cheated on his wife because of nagging there would be no more marriages. He does admit in the book that he cheated on his wife. After he was traded to the A's he moved out west while she stayed back in Orlando, Fl. Damon goes on to say, "I spent a lot of time in Phoenix during spring training, there were girls there, I decided there no longer was any reason not to go out and have some fun. I figured Angie no longer wanted to be with me, so why not? Rightly or wrongly, I figured I'll just have me a good time." By revealing all of this in his new book Damon is hurting his own image and more importantly he is hurting his ex-wife and his own kids. Damon is a great baseball player, but he is no role model and someone I will never look up to.

By the way the Yankees will win 5-3 Sunday.

Friday Morning Blues

This place put a dent in me last night.



Go check out the website, I feel like that little purple guy right now. My favorite quote from the site "after dark, transforms into a thriving nightspot with live entertainment". Not sure how I feel about that one.
