Odds and Ends from a Slacking Blogger
Seriously, you'd think a blog with three authors would be able to punch out more than 10 posts in a month. We're gonna have to kick it into overdrive if we want to hit double digits this month. Of course when I say "we" I really mean me. I've gotta throw this blog on my back like Ludacris did with the Def Jam label. Shit, am I going to have to grow a monster 'fro now too? Well I've got a few things to throw at this blog today, and despite being only 30 days from Christmas this post is going to be heavy on my baseball thoughts.

Justin Morneau is your American League MVP. Coming up to the vote a lot of sports folk were saying that this would be the year that Derek Jeter would take down the trophy. I can't even find the right adjective to describe how happy I am that he lost. I don't even have any problems with Jeter, he's probably the only Yankee that I don't hate. But there is no way he was more valuable to the Yanks then Morneau was to the Twins. Not even close.

Morneau winning the MLB MVP award also gave Canada the Most Valuable Player trifecta, joining the NHL's Joe Thornton and the NBA's Steve Nash. Now if we could just get a Canadian into the NFL. Well one that wasn't a gigantic choke artist/douchebag at least. A Canadian winning the Hart Trophy isn't much of a shock considering that the NHL is probably about 50% Canadian content. But I'd be willing to bet that there are less than 30 Canadians starting for their respective teams in the NBA and MLB combined. Hell, 30 is too hard, I'll say 15. Someone prove me wrong. Please.

The free agent signing this baseball offseason are fucking rediculous. I don't even want to talk about it.

OJ Simpson's book If I Did It and his television interview have been scrapped due to the public outcry and FOX suddenly having some kind of morals. I was in elementary school when this trial was going on, and I'm almost ashamed to admit that to this day I could still talk somewhat intelligently about the trial's detatils. I can't be the only one right? That shit was all over the media, Judge Ito, Mark Furrman, the leather gloves, the air conditioning unit he ran into (allegedly) and the Ford Bronco. My point is, what could have been in this book that hasn't allready been assumed and reported on? I would've been more interested in reading a book called 'If I Did It' and OJ talking about some other crime that he has never been related to. Like 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: If I Did It', I don't care about how you would have commited a crime that you're already suspected of commiting, I wanna know how you'd plan to get away with different crimes. Or maybe how some other celebrities would get away with the crime that OJ (allegedly) commited. Wouldn't you rather read about how Kelly 'Jack the' Ripa would have done it?

I've heard a couple reports that Vince Carter is considering a return to the Raptors after this season. I hate the guy, but I think it would be a great move for the team. I also think that the fans would for the most part be supportive. That is of course until the first time he gets hurt, or it appears that he wasn't giving 100% in a game. Then it'll all come flooding back and it'll get ugly. I still think if the reports are true that it's worth the risk. A team with CB4, Air Canada and The Little Engine (That's T.J. Ford's nickname apparently) would be pretty solid in a weak Eastern Conference.

Oh and how about that Michael Richards? He's racist, he's not racist, whatever-thefuck-ever. I think most people are missing the main point here. He's a brutal standup comic. He lost his fucking mind over a couple of hecklers...at a comedy club. Thats half of what standup comedy is about. I think he should've gone with the standard self check-in to a rehab centre and blamed it on some banned substance instead of that awkward forced 'apology' on Letterman.

Rap Lyric o' the Day: "I'm just a victim of society, it's Chris The Menace. Got more shit out on the streets then evicted tennants."

Did you get your PS3 or Wii yet? Did you get shot trying to get one? Who needs first person shooters anyway right? If it's not the rap music it's the video games making all these kids coo-coo in the coconuts. But did you see any of the news footage of the scraps over the game consoles? There are some middleaged homies dropping 'bows on each other at the enterance to Best Buy. And how much must it suck to be working in the electronics department of your local stores right now? If you're not dodging bullits when you open the doors you're baracading yourself in the office til the army comes in to save you when the angered mob realizes that you don't have enough systems to support them all.

On that note I'm gonna make like a fetus and get up outta this mutha.

Somebody gonna get a shank real bad...
I've been meaning to post for a few days now, but unfortunatley I've been busy. Really busy. You see I recently purchased the first season of Prison Break and a couple video games so as you can probably imagine most of my free time is booked up.

I didn't watch the first season at all when it was on TV because I didn't decide til about halfway through the season that it would be worth watching. People I knew that were watching it recommended waiting for the DVD set rather then just jumping into the middle. So thats what I did, and it was worth it. This show is crazy intense! I've started watching the 2nd season so I already knew a couple things that would happen and it doesn't ruin the intensity level at all. It's like watching the earlier seasons of 24, you know Jack Bauer isn't going to die, but it's still just as intense.

At this point I realize I should've come into this post with a couple synonyms for intense.

This first season is so good that I really want to start shanking motherfuckers. It's so easy, all you have to do is look shady and walk passed someone in slow motion. The slow motion walk will trigger them to hand you something sharp and pointy. Then you speed up your walk passed the intened target give'em a couple quick pokes in the side and it's game over. Man, the life of a convict at a max-security prison sure is sweet.

As an added bonus the warden at the prison (Stacey Keach ) played the crazy father on Titus so you can watch it just waiting for him to snap and say something rediculous....but he never does.

INTENSE!

Overheard in the T-Dot
Guy 1: Yo, I thought you said it was walking distance.

Guy 2: It is. Your legs will totally carry you.

Guy 1: Hey, I didn't sign up for no excercise today.

Guy 2: You didn't sign up for no excercise?

Guy 1: Man, fuck you and fuck your double negatives.

This is for you
If you like those montages on America's Funniest Home Videos about people falling down.

Clip from a documentary about Troy Hurtubise, who has been on a quest to build an invulnerable bear suit to study wild grizzlies.

My favorite part is when he gets hit by the truck....repeatedly.

iPods at Work
This article has angered me this morning. I don't even care about the main point of the article. In some workplaces I'm sure using the iPod (or other mp3able device) can make employees more productive, but like I said thats not why I'm here. Just read it and think about the 'statistics' that the article presents (don't worry there is really only two of them). Am I crazy or does that not make sense. If 1 in 5 people are using an iPod at work how can "just under a quarter of employees" be using their Ipods for up to 3 hours a day. Wouldn't that mean at least 1 in 4 people were using Ipods? I know I'm not a math whiz or anything, but I'm right on this one right? Fuck you article!

Get Out of My Personal Space!!
So let me tell you about the break room at my work. There are 5 circular tables with 3 to 5 chairs around each one. Got the picture in your head? Good. So I go into the break room and there is one other person in there sitting at a table reading the paper. I pour myself a cup of disgusting-ass coffee, grab a paper and sit down at another table and begin to read. Ten to fifteen minutes go by and one of the new guys walks in (not the feet on my desk guy). He gives me the 'hey whats up' headnod and I respond with the 'I am aware of your presence' headnod and I return to my paper. New Guy then procedes to sit down beside me. Not just at the same table, but right fucking beside me. I'm talking about, I could've elbowed him in the face without getting up, close sitting (or "dropping 'bows" like the kids say*). Now I'm thinking that this guy is feeling kinda lonely as the newbie on the staff and he wants to make friends or something. I ask him "Hows it going?", y'know being sympathetic to his feelings of 'newness' and all. What does the motherfucker do? He mumbles something to himself (me?), pulls out his cell phone and then makes a call to his significant other and then proceeds to have a long and LOUD conversation. Right fucking beside me!! Fuck! What is wrong in the brain of this guy?? So now I've got two assclowns that need to be fired on my list. Plus, y'know what he was talking about? Buying vegetarian meals!! Fuck me in the ear thats an awful conversation to listen to half of.


*Do the kids still say that? 'Cause they should
