Too Soon?

Micahel Jackson lived his last 10 years in relative obscurity. No one really talked about him outside of the annual child pornography accusation. No big deal. Then he goes and dies (pretty much tells his doctor to kill him) and now he is every where.

I guarantee you that his costume is going to be the number one Halloween costume for pieces of s**t this year. Anyone who can't think of anything original to be will just go out and be Michael Jackson. A quick Google search came up with many sites just dedicated to Michael Jackson costumes, here and here for example.

That's annoying but at least it will only last one day. Then there is that "movie," This is It that is in theaters now. I was trying to avoid it in hopes it would just disappear, but then I have been hearing multiple stories such as this one. An Oscar? Really? If that godbortion of a movie is even nominated for BEst Picture I will throw up right in my spot. The movie never would have come out if he didn't die. It's just 2 hours of footage preparing for his European Tour that never occurred. How is that even a movie, let alone in the conversation for best picture? God help us. You mean to tell me it is on par with movies like GOdfather, Shawshank Redemption, The Departed, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, Casablance, Elephant Man, and other classics.

We are doomed.

How much is enough?

On Saturday I was driving around and decided to stop for a bite to eat. I decided to stop at Arbys to grab a bite (I don't care what you say, I like it). What I noticed that was interesting is that they have 25 combo meals. Yes 25! Is there that many different combinations of ways to eat roast beef? I order the roast beef patty melt, which was very good. It just struck me as odd that a place that makes roast beef sandwiches has 25 combo meals.

Hey I'm Important

So I was at a meeting today with a lot of "important" people from the district that I work in. I noticed something very interesting. People who think they are very important usually take their cell phone out and put it on the table. Apparently that is a sign to tell everyone else how important you are. "Hey, I might get a phone call at any second and I need to be able to get to it as fast as possible. I can't keep it in my pocket, in my briefcase, or even hooked on the belt clip. It needs to be on the table so all can see it."

One person even had 2 phones out and on the table.

I was thinking of a parody song for this. One could be a parody of "Dick in a box," but instead "Phone on the table." Or it could be a parody of "Put it in your mouth," but instead "Put it on the table." They are both dirty songs originally, and obviously would stay dirty.

Still Angry

I know I don't blog as much as before, but don't worry I'm just as angry. It's just that my computer is a piece of s**t, and I do most of my Internet activities on my phone. Here are a few things from the past few days:

  • I got my hair did yesterday yesterday and the woman said "Your hair is interesting to cut with all the different colors in it." B**ch you saying I'm going gray?
  • I heard about this weird phenomena that over 2,000 people have had a dream about the same man. If you really read into it, its not that weird. Only 2,000 people over the whole world in 3 years, not that many. It's a pretty generic looking man. One theory is it is what god looks like and people are dreaming of god. A bit out there.
  • I am sure you have heard by Ned Yost has interviewed for the Houston Astros job. Sad. The article says he is the most experiences and qualified person they have interviewed. I thought they said he was interviewing for manager not toilet cleaner.
  • If you haven't seen Kareem Abdul Jabbar's Epic Fail on Jeopardy, it is worth it.

That's it ladies and gentlemen

So the Brewer's season is officially over.

First off, shame on all you who gave up towards the end and didn't watch and bad-mouthed the team the last month. Do we not remember the 25 years in which we were terrible? Last year was a gift that we will not receive again probably for another 25 years. Enjoy the game of baseball, and the team wasn't that bad.

There were a few things to salvage from this year:
  • McGehee is a stud and needs to start next year
  • Gamel needs to be on the team all and needs a new position
  • Gallardo is a start
  • Fielder and Braun have bright futures the next 8-10 years
  • Fielder may be better than we thought he was
  • Braun is Mr. Consistency
  • We actually missed Weeks
  • Escobar is a start and needs to be the everyday starter
  • Dave Bush is still consistent and a nice 4-5 pitcher
  • Hoffman is still a star closer even at his age and should be kept around
We also learned some lessons that we need to move on from here with:
  • We need to buy out Suppan and pay him to retire
  • Parra is not who we thought he was
  • Hardy needs to be traded because teams will want a below average hitting, good defensive shortstop with various STDs
  • Hart is not who we thought he was
  • Kendal needs to retire and become a bullpen coach
  • We have no bullpen
  • Need 1, probably 2 starters to battle for the Wild Card next year
  • We need to trade a "fan favorite" (Hart, Hardy, or Weeks)
The team is salvageable and later this week I will have my thoughts on what their starting lineup should look like next year.

DEAD

With only one remaining 3-games series with the NL's Best, St. Louis Cardinals to play, I thought it was time to make it official.
