I've been twittering alot lately, well not as much as some people but enough that I have not updated the blog in a hot minute. Well I had a bunch of random thoughts on my mind and instead of posting up-teen twitters lets put in the blog!First topic, politics. It feels that this election season I am more interested than I ever have been in the next election. Not to say in the past I was

Honda released a new GPS unit in Japan that warns if you are in a bad neighborhood. Next it will say "You should be eating healthy", when you pull in to McDonalds.

To all the 3 people that read this I am sorry I haven't posted in a while :) Here's a short short version of what I've been up to and I promise to expand on this later. Last time we spoke I was working for Alcoa but the contract ended in June of 2007. I got a DUI in Feb. of 2007. That hurt me in some jobs because apparentely I'm the only person that has one. But I had a few contract stints

I don't like tomatoes. Let me get this clear, I don't like fresh tomatoes. I can eat pizza and occassionally red sauce but the sauce must have something else in it. I don't really dig tomato soup and I can stand sun dried tomatoes. But fresh tomatoes on a burger or sandwich or in my salad makes me sick.Whenever I tast this vile food it makes me gag. The taste of it makes me want to stop

I found out yesterday that our family dog has cirrhosis. This is where the liver is just messed up. It cannot process anything and is damaged over time. We noticed he had some yellowing of the eyes, ears and gums so my parents took him to the vet. All the tests cleared but something was still wrong. So my parents took him to an animal hospital where they did a biopsy and where they

My ear hurts.  I do not know why it just hurts.  It feels like my sinuses are draining.  Damn weather.  I saw Duce Staley today.  He was walking out of the PNC bank at PNC Park.  Probably cashing his "game" check.  I do not feel like working, actually I have not felt like working for a couple of weeks.  I need some motivation.  I hope the Steelers do better against San Diego.  What about this

The large majority of the American population are idiots. There I said it. My buddy Worm and I had a conversation that went sorta like this:Worm: "Man some of these football announcers are idiots. I swear I could do better."Me: "Well I guess they are. But maybe they are not. It could be possible that they have to dumb down their act since the majority of americans are C students."W: "That

Ok, so I drink alot of Mt. Dew and I've been thinking that its not a good thing, duh. So I decided starting on the 12th I am going to eliminate it entirely. The past few weeks I've been cutting back. Normally I would drink anywhere from 40 to 120 ounces of the stuff, thats 2 to 6 twenty oz bottles a day. I know bad stuff. So I cut back to like 2-3 a day and finally I said lets cut it out

So, I got back from the World Cup in one piece and I promise I will make a lengthy post about what transpired. But first I need to get this off my chest.Have you ever tried so hard to forget something, maybe not totally forget, but at least not think about it all the time? For instance something bad happens and every so often the thought creeps in your mind and you chastise yourself for even

I've never been to a soccer game, which I will call football from now on, outside of the United States. I've been to several professional games and a couple international games including the game where the US clinched a spot in the 2006 World Cup. But for the next two weeks I will be in Germany and attending the US's first three matches.Let me tell you I am super EXCITED!!!I can't even imagine

Okay Okay. I don't really "hate" Digg but sometimes it grinds my gears. So let me explain. Digg's greatest strength is that it is run by the people. Stories are submitted by the people, voted on by the people and commented on by the people. The problem with Digg is that the stories are submitted by the people, voted on by the people and commented on by the people. Makes no sense right?

Top Spin 22k SportsRating 8/10 Wimbledon, Centre Court. Sweat drops of your brow as you hold your racquet and tennis ball in hand. It is set point which would give you a 2-1 edge in a best of five set match. Should you use raw power to blast by your opponent? Maybe throw in a wicked spin serve that confuses? Or send a change up over the net to freeze your adversary? You toss the ball

In relation to this article...I read this article today and I guess it kind of opened up my eyes. David Schoenfield makes some good points and backs them up with some facts and figures that make sense. I won't go into specifics of the article, you can read it yourself and figure it out, but I have one issue I believed he ignored.Let me explain...In a sport like football or basketball or hockey,

What if everyday was a brand new day? Technically it is but in a sense it is not. The same thing happens day after day for at least 5 of the seven. Wake up, eat, work, eat, drive home, eat, do chores, entertain your self, sleep and repeat. Even the other two days are the same without the work, sometimes. What if you woke up and had no idea what was going to happen? Oh something unexpected "

I don't like tomatoes. I'm not sure about alot of things. We probably did land on the moon. Nothing takes 5 minutes. Be careful of everything. Germs are natural, don't try and avoid them at all costs you'll just end up sicker. A person is smart, people are stupid. Don't trust everything you read or hear.

There was this one girl that was probably my first love. For several reasons we did not get together for a while though we did fool around. Things were great for a couple years then they started to fall apart. Partly my fault, I started getting disinterested but didn't want it to end. But in the end she "found" someone else and that was that. Later I would find out she was fooling around

They did it! I don't care what anyone else says the Steelers deserved this one. They knocked off the best teams in the AFC and outlasted the best from the NFC. Was there bad calls? Sure! But good teams outlast bad calls, which the Sea-Frauds could not do. Happy Days in the Burgh!We had a crazy weekend for the game. Partied all weekend. Cooked all kinds of food in the smoker on sunday.
