feb 14 my ass

Aiight it's like this. I don't celebrate Valentine's Day.
Don't worry she knows this.

To be fair and compromisal (made up word)
I do something nice for the lady either before or after Feb 14....that nice thing was this past weekend. I double dated with her sis and d-rizzle to a broadway play and dinner.

It was nice. The Producers, with Tony Danza.

Commercial holiday's piss me off. The CEO of hallmark can blow me because I won't be buying any Valentine's stuff.....if my wife wants to know if I love her all she gotta do is ask.
I'll tell the truth.

You smell me?

Halijuah holla back.

Once upon a time up in Jersey YOO!!! I damn near had to kill a ho!!!

I used to work here:























Now I work here, the U-shpaed low buildings.

















At least I don't have to put up with this shit anymore.














No subway, aahhhhhhh, It's such a relaxing thought.
Instead I drive now. Don't mind, yet...............
Stay tuned.

Tell me baby, what's your story

Today is no better. Another shitty day in my shitty life.

The train blew moose nuts, some gook (IDGAF if your offended) was coughing and spitting into a coffee cup, her devil child was crying and spitting up soy milk and the train was delayed 10 minutes due to "conductor error". Shoot me. My i-pod is the only reason why I don't stab a immigrant. The world owes everything to apple.

I swear it's the worst form of transportation on the planet. If you ride it every day you'll know what i'm sayin. If your a tourist and you just ride it while your visiting the city you might actually think it's a serviceable, convienent way to get around a city crawling with people.
But it's not, trust me.

My job is leaving midtown manhattan for jersey city. AKA Wall Street West.
So it's been real hectic at work, alot of meetings and bullshit to deal with on top of the work related bullshit that I already want to retire from.
I have to report to jersey city later since i'm the "point person" for our group.

by the way it's 10 degrees outside, wind chill makes it below zero.

have a nice day

F - T - W

How's it hangin?
Long and a tad towards the left.

fuck the world don't ask me for shit, everything i get i gotz to work HHHHHAAARRRD for it

I'm in a bad mood.

Had a terrible meeting for over 2 hours which went around in circles, I nodded off a few times and my stomach actually ate my large intestine because he was "hungry".

I get back to desk and gollum did no work so all my shit was there which infuriated me even more. So I'm just ignoring it like a crying child in a supermarket.

My life is a waste.

To the guy on the train this morning who was coughing louder than a tyranosaurus rex would fart thanks for ruining my morning and I hope you get raped by a donkey.

Handicapping the Oscars

Since I love movies and pretty much hate award shows not named MTV, allow me to handicap the Oscars before Vegas does. I'll also pick the winners now (or at least who I think should win), which means bet against me cuz Notes on a Scandal is something I would never see.

Best Picture (I've only seen "The Departed"):
Babel (10-1)
The Departed (15-1)
Letters From Iwo Jima (4-1)
Little Miss Sunshine (20-1)
The Queen (8-1)

El Pad's choice : Babel to me seems like a Crash copycat but on a international scale. Letter from Iwo Jima must be better than the American story out of "Flags of Our Fathers" , they say the emotion and character potrayal of the Japanese is incredible.

Best Actor
Leo DiCaprio, "Blood Diamond" (50-1)
Ryan Gosling, "Half Nelson" (60-1)
Peter O'Toole, "Venus" (15-1)
Will Smith, "The Pursuit of Happyness" (3-2)
Forest Whitaker, "The Last King of Scotland" (10-1)

El Pad's choice : DiCaprio has not a shot, he was better in The Departed. It's a two man race between Smith and Whitaker. I'm going with the even money bet of Will Smith. He thought he was a shoo-in for Ali but that was not as good as this.

Best Actress
Penelope Cruz, "Volver" (90-1)
Judi Dench, "Notes on a Scandal" (3-1)
Helen Mirren, "The Queen" (4-1)
Meryl Streep, "The Devil Wears Prada" (3-2)
Kate Winslet, "Little Children" (25-1)

El Pad's choice : Gotta go with the favorite (Streep). I think she won the Globe for this one as well. The quiet dame Judi Dench will give her a run for her money though.

Best Supporting Actor
Alan Arkin, "Little Miss Sunshine" (30-1)
Jackie Earle Haley, "Little Children" (20-1)
Djimon Hounsou, "Blood Diamond" (25-1)
Eddie Murphy, "Dreamgirls" (5-1)
Mark Wahlberg, "The Departed" (12-1)

El Pad's choice : I'm going with the upset pick here. I think the Academy will reward Hounsou for his performance in Blood Diamond. The whole conflict diamond issue is a pretty big deal in hollywood these days.

Best Supporting Actress
Adriana Barraza, "Babel" (5-1)
Cate Blanchett, "Notes On A Scandal" (3-1)
Abigail Breslin, "Little Miss Sunshine" (10-1)
Jennifer Hudson, "Dreamgirls" (1-2)
Rinko Kikuchi, "Babel" (50-1)

El Pad's choice : Although I want to take the longshot cuz her name is pronounced "Ka-coochie", it seems like the Academy is already giving it to Hudson for her Effie White performance.

Best Director
Clint Eastwood, "Letters From Iwo Jima" (5-1)
Stephen Frears, "The Queen" (65-1)
Paul Greengrass, "United 93", (6-1)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, "Babel" (12-1)
Martin Scorcese, "The Departed" (10-1)

El Pad's choice : Well, I would love for Marty to win. He's deserved it the last two times he was nominated. The only thing that's stopping him is the Academy's love for tragedy. It's a two dog race between him and Greengrass for United 93. I hope Marty gets it, overdue.

For all other categories here is the official list. I can't pick them all......
Oscar's 07'

Footyball and news links

I have to write a little something about yeterday's championship games because they were just too good for me not to. If you hate sports just scroll down to the news links below.

Bears/Saints was great for two reasons. Snow and great defense.
The Bears provided the great defense and Chicago provided the snow (almost if on cue). I don't know if I've said this before but all championship games should be played in bad weather. It's just so awesome. And snow being the greatest of them all, in HD, is like a perfect ice cream sundae. Makes me happy. Anyway the minute Reggie Bush went 88 yards on that pass and pointed to Urlacher on the way in, THEN somersaulted into the endzone I was like oh shit, no he didn't !! That certaintly woke up the entire Bears defense and they just took it from a 8 (which is pretty good) to a 98. I mean they really turned up the dial on Brees and made him look very bad for very long (half the 3rd quarter, all of the 4th). I said on LOV blog how hard it is for a dome team to go into a cold weather stadium with a Super Bowl on the line and play well. Yet every single retarded pundit/analyst/sports whiz picked the Saints. They are so foolish. Dome teams are now 0-10 when trying to advance to a super bowl on the road. And I hate to say I told you so but I did.

Colts/Pats. Wow. What a game.
Colts fell behind early and it seemed as if they would just fold. But Dungy didn't let them. He's as cool as Snoopy himself. Never panicked, kept the team focused and had them ready to come out in the second half like something fierce. And they did. Scoring 35 points in the second half. Once they tied it on a nifty catch by Harrison for two points it was a scoring see-saw battle. They traded Td's, Fg's and great plays. With two minutes left it came down to Peyton and his offense. And he performed. Strike to Harrison, strike to Wayne, Wayne again (the fumble in the air, but grabbed it back--who didn't hold thier breath on that play?) then 30 yards to Fletcher and this was all capped off by a Joseph Addai run straight up Broadway. Crowd was delirious and so were the Colts. But wait, there was 56 seconds left. Did Peyton leave Brady too much time? NO! says Marlin Jackson (mich alum). He will have none of it as he steps in front of Watson and picks the ball off, slides to the ground to secure the ball and the Colts go to Miami.
Great game, one of the best in my short lifetime.

Few observations on both games:

Two black coaches going to the Super Bowl, first time ever.....couldn't be happier on who though.
Great guys, great coaches.
Reggie Bush is fast, but dumb.
Urlacher is better than Ray Lewis. I will have none of it.
Lance Briggs is just as good as the highest paid LB in the league, whoever that may be.
Great story, great ride but New Orleans was way over their head yesterday.
Thanks for the Snow, God.
Peyton with the head down when Brady got the ball back = ultimate respect for Brady.
If Belichik wears that sweater while coaching the AFC in the pro-bowl I'm cutting my eyes out with a steak knife.
Stud rookie Colston didn't look good at first, but gained some composure and reeled in some nice catches, he's going to be great.
Dalls Clark = money in the bank & sleeper prop bet for Super Bowl MVP.
Thomas Jones....Cedric Benson crushed McCallister/Bush combo.

Now I will gloat a bit. I picked this super bowl match-up. See below.

The Reality is........

If I'm not watching a movie or sports. 90% of the time, I'm tuned in to a reality TV show. I just can't help myself. The only network show I watch is Law & Order SVU. The other 10% is discovery channels and food network.

Pretty much any reality show outside of "Laguna Beach or Maui Fever" on MTV is gold.
I've seen them all and enjoyed them. Same thing with VH1.

Last night's final challenge on MTV Real World/Road Rules The Duel was great.

That new show on VH1 "The White Rapper Show" is genius.

The spinoff of "Flava of Love" called "I Love New York" is a bigger train wreck than Flava Flav himself.

The Surreal Life, whenever it's on, is awesome.

Now they got some game show type one where old castmates battle for the right to stay on the "A-List", Surreal Life Games I think it's called. It's a knock on the Real World/Road Rules challenge thing.

A new season of Road Rules starts up soon.

Real World Denver is in full swing.

The Apprentice still keeps my interest.

The Real Desperate Housewives make me laugh.

Rob and Big are hysterical.

Shooting Sizemore is disturbing.

Hogan Knows Best is one of my favorites.

The show with all of the Carter siblings was wacky. But entertaining.

I can go on and on. I'm pretty much addicted to reality tv and I don't care.
That shit is funny, entertaining and repulsive. Isn't that what we watch TV for.

From me to you

Mini Mango Salsa

Lost in my Super bowl this past Sunday. It's a rough touch football league. Called Expo Sports.
We were in the B division (A being the best). Up against the Heavy Hitters we went down by 20 early, came back to take a 1 point lead going into halftime. But we didn't play a good second half so we ended up losing by 15 i think, 48-33. It's nice to get there. It felt good. I played pretty well and I hope to be back to grab that elusive jacket. Anyway winter season starts soon so I'l; be back on the field in no time to spit out that taste of a loss.

Got a nice bottle of Johnnie Walker Gold. This completes my collection. Now have Blue, Green, Gold & Black. Fuck red, it's firewater. Big ups to Drock/Jlove for dat bottle. I love Scotch.

I'm really felling Coppola's Claret (Cabernet Sauvignon). Bout $15 a bottle. Worth it.

That I Phone from Apple looks incredible.

Castro is on the deathbed for quite some time now. Things won't change though. His pull lasts at least another 20 years.

Netflix going the extra mile to ward off the Blockbuster Total Access program. Offering streaming video, a "Watch Now" deal that let's the customer watch the movie or TV show right then and there. Only works with High Speed internet and on a Windows XP or 98 platform though.

Love this week's upcoming Football games. Saints at Chicago and New England at Indy.
Stayin home for those wife. Deal with it.

violated, hurt & bewildered

Why couldn't I invent chap stick?
or
the paperclip?

or white-out
or post it's
or bottled water?

Why do I have to sit here for 5 days a week from 9-6 everyday til my heart stops?
Why?

This is not fair. I wish society never created money. That way we'd all be equal.
If I really want something, I should be able to steal it. Why do I have to work for it?
Sitting here, typing nonsense and listening and obeying rules like a dog. It's inhumane.

I have to sit next to a true alien. Never really believed in extra terrestrial life til now.
The guy is really an alien. He says he's from Poland but that's just code for like Plankton or something. He eats things only animals and aliens would eat. He looks like one and he talks in different languages. Tell me he is not an alien.

Then there is this crazy disproportined women who walks around and pretends to like everyone and talk to everyone. I wish she would just combust into thin air. She's very retarded and I just can't stand her anymore. She wears an awful smelling perfume and a whole lotta makeup. Just fucked up. The people are just fucked up.

Alien nation. That's what it is. The more and more I talk, think, type about it. The more I realize it's true. There is one guy who has those eyes that float all over the place. You never really know who's he's looking at. One milisecond the eye is focused on you, the next it's sidewinding for a view at the wall.

I can't even do this anymore. Filled with rage right now.

Blogger is a tired old hag

Blogger sucks a shank today so you get nothing. It erased my scheduled post about who gives a fuck about anything but beer, sex and sports. You all lose.

Tomorrow you get nothing as well. It's my birthday. I plan on drinkin a couple of forty's and beating Call of Duty 3.

Hades.

Roast Beef! Croquetts! Mozzarella Corroza!

Let me tell you bout this magnificent sandwich.
It originates from John's Deli on Stillwell Ave. in Brooklyn.

It's simple yet destructive. It consists of:

FRESH ROAST BEEF
FRESH MOZZARELLA
HOMEMADE GRAVY

The gravy is black. It actually looks like motor oil. The contents get slathered on a fresh baked hero of Italian bread. And then an orgasm happens. The minute you bite it, the minute your mouth experiences this wonderful invention, you are in Pleasuretown. I hope everyone would someday have a chance to eat this. If you don't believe me, here is a review I found.

Village Voice
Best Big Brooklyn Gutbomb- JOHN'S DELI
Nothing in the borough is quite as challenging as the roast beef hero at JOHN'S DELI—masses of warm, pink meat on a crusty hero, topped with melting slices of mozzarella and gobbed with a midnight gravy. Just close your eyes and bite. Hint: Wear something washable. Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday only. -Robert Sietsema

Here's a picture of it. I devour one weekly.

What better way to kick off the new year than El Padrino's random thoughts!

The fattest guy in the world works in my job. And he walks like Igor "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Hysterical. His head is 10 times the size of a soccer ball.

Bush signed a law enabling the executive branch of government to open any American mail without a court order. Ok. What's next? He's going to do door to door cavity searches?

Anyone hear that fool Robertson claiming God spoke to him and told him there will be a new terrorist attack that will kill a mass of people. I wish he would die. See instead of signing a bill like being able to open my mail (which doesn't really bother me much because my mail is just bills and playboy subscriptions), Bush should go to this guy's house, ring the bell, and kick his teeth in. This is what would make me a great president. Viva la El Pad, 07!

I can't wait to see "Flags of Our Fathers", followed immeadiately by "Letter From Iwo Jima".
I'm hearing good things.

Talladega Nights, I thought was funny. More funny than other people apparentely.

Bears are waking up thinking the winter is over. Cherry Blossoms are mid-full bloom. No ice fishing in St. Paul Minnesota. Weird weather.

I like to walk around the office and steal other people's office supplies. My favorite is paper. I like to walk around the office and take other department's stacks of paper for my dept. There is really no rhyme or reason to this except that I'm a klepto. I also like to go into the pantry and fuck things up. Like put pin holes in the styrofoam cups so shit spills out on people. Or swiping someone's soda from the communal fridge.

I want a chia pet of myself. Wanna know what I would look like with a fro'.

Lil' John is on the soundtrack for "Stomp The Yard" ? Your kiddding!

Amazon cheif Jeff Bezos's other company is building a spaceship. How come all these billionaires want to go to space? What the fuck to that? Go to a planetarium or something. I don't get space. I don't get the fact that it could be so fucking interesting. It's space. The word space says it all. If space had beer, sports and tits in it then I would say, beam me up but it doesn't. Just a bunch of rocks, gaseous masses, and nothing. BORING!

Remember, if your not pissin', your shittin'. That would be my sign off if I were a newscaster.
