post secret

Just found this amazing new site.

It 's really interesting.

Very cool dynamic of irony.

It's anonymous confessions in a unique contemporary art / stylistic way.

check it out

each day

Is an adventure all in it self.

When you stop seeing the beauty of the things your doing, you lose the drive to seek what's next.

Don't ask what if!

Make this what you want!

And take control of your life!

why the phillies will win

Because Philadelphia needs it!

A lot of hoop-la has been made of the long suffering cubbie fans ( and rightfully so, it's a 100 years of no ticker tape, the curse of the billie goat is catchy and wrigley field is one of the 5 most recognizable stadiums in the US.) and granted chicago will always be the cub's city but didn't they have the white sox win 3 years ago? What about MJ? And the super bowl shuffling bears?

Chi-town has had it's glorious moments.

But what about the poor people of Philly? When's the last time the streets were blocked off for a celebatory parade?! Think about it....give up? 1983, Dr. J's only title.

That's only 26 years most cynical pundits say.

Well let's go thru what the philly phans (the 4th largest tv market in the country!!) have endured since that faithful NBA season shall we:

This is "we talking about practice" suffering fans. Where the 76ers toyed with the fans after stunning the Lakers in A.I's statement of a win in the first game. Then in game two made a furious run to cut the game within 3 around the 2 minute mark and let Fisher and Rob Horry beat them. The city was full of optimisim expecting to take 2 out 3 at home and send the boys back with a fighting chance in LA to dethrone the defending champs!

Lay an egg more like it.

Kobe and Shaq came in dominated and left planning parade rap lyrics.



This is "the best we have is Mitch Williams?" suffering fans. Joe Carter sent a ballot to the hall of fame on us fans. The Lenny Dykstra loving fans.

The fans who talked themselves into the Reggie on defense and Randall on offense temptation. The "I wasn't the one in the huddle throwin up" Eagle fans. The Andy Reid era fans (have another cheese steak big guy!) The 6 minute 2 score strategy Philly fans.


Lets not forget....the Phillies are the losingest franchise in mlb history! Over 1000 losses, 1000 people!!!

It's been some time, a time where alot of alcohol was consumed and Malboros chain smoked, all in effort to move on in a city that's expecting the worse to surface everytime they're teams get the closest...

It's time for some ticker tape in Philly!

They need it.

world series perdiction


My explanation of the picks will be coming very soon, but it needs a full post.

It'll be out by the start of game 1 on Wednesday, I promise.

Phillies in 6

I'm counting on you Mr. Rollins to snap out of your funk.

Don't let me down.

*but if this series goes to 7 tampa will win it*

more delayed posts...

3rd debate

Man McCain was McNasty (and he will go by this name forever in this blog) in Hofstra!!!

And not just because he was the aggressor and constantly put Obama on the defensive but did you see his smile!!! oh my! now every time i look at a picture of the republican nominee i keep seeing the chucky doll!

"AHH come here pretty... i will get you!" scary

Amy and Seth do a great job explaining the horror in this clip.



The soon to be president (yes we can!!) showed great restraint in not turning the debate into a finger pointing match (which McNasty wanted) astute knowledge of his own policies, and kept his temperment very well. He wasn't spectacular but even keeled and presented himself very well, which pretty much sums up all his debate performances.

So the negative ad's should be piling up soon and the next couple weeks should be filled with top-notch unintentional comedy! I'm really looking forward to this, it's my favorite part of the political season, there should be some youtube hall-of-famers sprouting up anytime now.

I'm flabbergasted by how there are actual people who get swayed by these things.

I mean how uneducated must you be?

modern technology

So the modern world, especially electronic devices, amazes me on a daily basis.

We are connected to endless amounts of people over the internet, watch random strangers act a fool on our labtops, send tiny pic messages across country via a phone, pay bills in an instant.

The list goes on and on....

So why in the hell do alarm clocks just randomly decide not to work!!!!!

And usually on a day that you have to be up for!!!!!

ahhHHHAAHHHH!!!!!!!!

I hate my life right now.

sports tid-bits

Teams i'm rooting for this week-- the Phillies, Rays, Golden Eagles, Cardinals, Browns and Eagles 

Oh and Gratton, looks like "our" super sleeper Steve Slaton is making you look like a genius. I hate you by the way. 

The combined record for ISU sports teams 7-25-3, it's been a beautiful semester. 

The first thing that pops in to my head when one of the republican "nominees" say's 'maverick' (after i get done laughing at the ignoranus') is sweet the nba's almost back. 

pre-season award predictions.

MVP-"The Queen" James, Comeback- "The Flash" 6th man- "I fold in big games" Lamar Odom rookie- Greg "grandpa" Oden 

 

love & hate

Fantasy football is unique. Honestly i think it's made me a bigger fan of the nfl (if that was possible in the first place!)

I now spend countless hours watching / caring about players on teams I would have never even thought twice about. 

But it also make's me loathe certain players i absolutely love

Example a- Reggie Bush week 5

Did you hear the crowd chanting his name?? (Reggie! Reggie!) He's the most loved Reggie since Jackson and by far the most popular Bush of the last 2 decades(unless we want to throw Seans' mom in there! Haha thank you I'll be here all season) and middle finger to whoever was dumb enought to ask the question "who's better Mario or Reggie" but could I root for him on Monday? No! I was hoping he would fumble every play and Brees would look every way but his. And Drew did! But leave it up to the incompetent Brad Childress to kick it to him. Not once but twice! He's like Devin damn Hester! punt it out of bounds! Screw you Vikings special teams! Screw you. Ya'll should be receiving a terd sandwich from Fed-Ex, via me, any day now.


Love Manny -- hate the Dodgers: Not only did LA get a gift wrapped Manny to fall in their laps they got a motivated Manny. It's like someone rubbed the "Barry Bonds clear" in his jock strap. Shit he's even running out groundballs! WTF!!! But hell I wouldn't mind seeing Manny return to Boston (if that's my last possible option), you think they'd boo him or give him a hereos reception?

Love to the watch--hate to listen: God i hate commentators. I don't think I've watched one game with the volume on yet this season (if i had a choice). If I have to listen to Joe Buck or Al michaels again I'll hit my big toe with a hammer. Thank god for people like Gus Johnson, if it wasn't for him and Mike Breen I would've never got in this industry. The rest of them make us look like ignorant dumba**es.

Love ya'll--hate ya'll: You know the first thing that ran through my mind after watching usc collapse(again) against an inferior opponent "thank god my phone doesn't work" now my Charger's suck and on top of that the Giants are undefeated and the Cowb**ches are good. some times i hate that i care about sports so much. And when the times are like this, you bastards make it that much worse. But my day will come. Shoot, if "The incompetent one" Eli Manning (good nick-name huh Caleb) can win a super bowl, some Charger qb, some day will win the big game, i know it! it WILL HAPPEN!!

delayed posts

lost art of silence

I believe Mia from Pulp Fiction said it best...

"Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?"
