I'll be here soon! Or never.


I've dropped the hammer on expenses in this house.  No more trips.  Number 3 on the way which means no more flights.

And it hit me- I'll never be here, or a place like it again.  Or at least for some time.

At least for 18 years.

I mean we will go on some family trips but cant take kids to a place like this.  And it's not like we can leave them with someone.  Who is going to take 3 kids?  My in laws are cutting back on their babysitting duties and I'd never leave my kids with my parents so I guess we wait.

But you know what- paradise can wait.  I'm already here.

Woot woot!

Yikes


Was a little fired up last night on Twitter about this but have been given it some reflection.

Not Thornton's greatest moment.  Probably going to be a permanent stain.  Can't bang his head against the ice like that.  And if someone else on a different team did it to a Bruin I guess I'd be all over it.  But remember, this is one of the dirtiest teams in the league and he pussed out from fighting which would have stopped this.  Also, Marchand got one of the dirtiest cheap shots I've seen.

And Thornton and him were/are buddies.  That being said I'm thinking 10 games.

And most times I think athletes are full of shit but I genuinely believed his apology afterwards.  I think he's broken up about it.

P.S. I think Pittsburgh is moving up into the top 5 worst fan bases.

What a joke


Yesterday's press conference was ABSURD.

Let me preface this by saying I don't give a shit about college football.  Could give a shit less about the Heisman or national title game, etc.

And I don't know what happened that night.  Neither do you.  And I'm not saying they should or shouldn't have proceeded with charges- I don't have access to the information.

But that press conference- with the former Seminole good ol boy prosecutor wearing his FSU colors and laughing....laughing.....and more laughing was pathetic and a joke and he should be disbarred.  I'm that serious about it.  Pull his ticket.

Even if the accuser was totally making it up- complete lie- how many future victims after seeing that pathetic display won't come forward?  Why would you- it's all a big laugh!

The prosecutor hurt victims, future victims and the legal system yesterday and now I will strongly root against FSU for all time.

Go whoever they play against next.

Not surprising


Two things that really have pretty big implications but everyone could see coming:

Ellsbury.  One, you knew he was gone.  No question.  Surprised he got that much from the Yankees?  Nope.  Boras guy and they don't care about what it takes to win.  Money's not a concern.  Two, not really upsetting.  Good player when healthy but you knew he was leaving anyways so thanks for the championships.


Obama's illegal immigrant uncle is now legal.  Did anyone not think this would happen?  His nephew is the president.  Would be the same thing if there was a Republican in office.  Wasn't going anywhere.  Also not surprising is the fact that Obama lied about meeting him.  Again- would have been same thing if it was a Republican.  Politicians lie.  All of them.

P.S. I like how the judge reasons that he is a moral and decent guy because he paid taxes "most of the time".  Ignore the DUI and his perjury on his older deportation case.

But again- not surprising.


P.S.S. Uncle Jesse's house in Beverly Hills has the huge D from Disneyland outside the property.  Thing is enormous. 

Odd.

NFL Hypocricy


Well the NFL strikes again.

Suing MIA for the middle finger.

And now they determine that Mike Tomlin, who jumped out onto the field, didn't act with intent.  So $100,000 fine and maybe (doubtful) a lost draft pick.

If Bill did this there outrage and national shaming would be insane.  Absolutely incredible.

But since it's not the Pats it's ok.  Joke.

P.S. Excited the Pats are going to go to the Superbowl.

United Airlines Sucks


First things first.

I saw so many previews for the Wolverine on a loop it's burned into my skull.

Pay for TV?  This day and age?  No and no.

And then they had some show Enlisted on a loop.  Whoever made this piece of crap deserves to go to hell.  And I didn't even hear it with the volume.

And you can't board early with kids?  Really?  Because that's smart.  Now obviously I'm biased but it holds up the line with all the people trying to get their crap all folded up at the jetway.

But I enjoyed the snarky attitude of the board agents.  Unreal.  When did we accept being treated like crap as a society.

But fortunately I'm not flying again for quite some time so f them all....

Enough


Really enough.

Between the car commercials and the news casts enough.

I'm a huge Anchorman fan and there's an argument to be made it's one of the top comedies of all time.  But the second one is going to blow.  There is no way it can live up to the first one.  I have a feeling that I am going to be very disappointed.

Plus, the Will Ferrell movie that needs a sequel is clearly Old School.
