Speech
"Not because I'm not mindful of the massive debt we've inherited — I am."
Asshole, asshole, asshole.
"I understand that on any given day, Wall Street may be more comforted by an approach that gives banks bailouts with no strings attached and that holds nobody accountable for their reckless decisions. But such an approach won't solve the problem. "
Attacking Wall Street again. And Sean Penn called him an elegant man?
"I will not spend a single penny for the purpose of rewarding a single Wall Street executive, but I will do whatever it takes to help the small business that can't pay its workers or the family that has saved and still can't get a mortgage."
So were taking jobs away from the fincancial sector and giving them to small business? Got it. Does Obama know that regualr people work at these Wall Street firms? To the tune of about 2 million US jobs? Probably more. Of course not. Because he lacks the experience to know this. Also it's not only Wall Street execs that have job perks like private jets, huge furnished offices, large amounts of cocaine and Cristal fountains. Every American CEO has those perks. Heads of law firms, construction companies, retail stores, franchise owners, SPORTS OWNERS, etc. Not to mention government heads as well.
"It reflects the stark reality of what we've inherited — a trillion dollar deficit, a financial crisis and a costly recession."
Oh look another shot at Bush. What a great guy.

Chandra Levy case
I read an article this morning about the Condit fellow (which you can find here) who was first accused of having something to do with Levy's disappearance. Turns out he was not but it's not to say he's moved on. He has unsuccessfully tried to run a ice-cream business in Arizona.

Speaking of weather how about the best job in the world? Meteorologists seem to be gainfully employed despite not being so good at your job. In what other profession can you not be right more than half of the time? If you were 50% wrong at your current job what would happen? I'm guessing you wouldn't be employed much longer. Local forecasters this past week predicted snow three different times. All three times it did not snow. Losers.

Chicago Tea Party
Back story, Rick is a floor reporter in the business sector for CNBC. Today he went on a little rant on the housing bill Obama is shoving down our throats. Here is the quote of the day:
"The government is promoting bad behavior... do we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages... This is America! How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage? President Obama are you listening?
(Misc trader) : "How about we all stop paying our mortgage! It's a moral hazard"
So in essence. Why are we rescuing people's mortagages and not allowing banks to seize properties they know should own? Because Obama said so?

Bye beer
I don't paticuarly care for Early srping brews anyway so I won't be missing much. Just the favorites and the standby's. I started my relationship with beer right around 1994. I was 14 and would sneak into the pool hall on Coney Island Ave. A local kid who was 21 took a liking to me because I was good at basketball. So he would sneak me in and let me drink beer. I never lasted more than two. Then I got into 40's and such with the boyz. No sophisticated beer drinking until about 23, 24. Then I started to really enjoy it for taste not for shotgunning. Ya' know. There is your beer pong beer and your snobby beer. I like both. Alot.
See ya in 40 nights Beer.

200 years old is old
Fellow-Countrymen:
At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.
On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, urgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war — seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.
One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. The Almighty has His own purposes. “Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.” If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him?
Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”
With malice toward none, with charity towards all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

Doc Holliday, 2009!
Press conference.
Press corp: Mr. Holliday what do you think of your opponent Mr. Johnny Ringo?
Holliday/Kilmer: What do you think, darling? Should I hate him?
Press corp: You don't even know him.
Holliday/Kilmer: Yes, but there's just something about him. Something around the eyes, I don't know, reminds me of... me. No. I'm sure of it, I hate him.
Press corp: Are you drunk?
Holliday/Kilmer: In vino veritas.
["In wine is truth" meaning: "When I'm drinking, I speak my mind"]
(all of a sudden Johnny Ringo appears!!!)
Ringo: Age quod agis.
["Do what you do" meaning: "Do what you do best"]
Holliday/Kilmer: Credat Judaeus apella, non ego.
["The Jew Apella may believe it, not I" meaning: "I don't believe drinking is what I do best."]
Ringo: [pats his gun] Eventus stultorum magister.
["Events are the teachers of fools" meaning: "Fools have to learn by experience"]
Holliday/Kilmer: Evidently Mr. Ringo's an educated man. Now I really hate him.
Aide to Holliday/Kilmer: (whispers in his ear) Doc, I think we sould end this press conference.
Holliday/Kilmer: Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.
Ringo: I want your blood.
Holliday/Kilmer: Oh. Johnny, I apologize; I forgot you were there. You may go now.
End Press Conference as Ringo storms off muttering words.

Average Joe's Gym
Relationship goes all the way back to high school. I was on the baseball team and basketball team. Also tried tennis (bored) and while trying out for football the track team coach recruited me to run track for a year (I was faster than the black kids, sorry obama!). Anyway I made the football team (barely, was too small) as a 4th string corner back. The first meeting I had with all the coaches I was told to start hitting the gym twice a day! TWICE A DAY! I was like yeah ok and they were like if you don't you'll get cut. And El PAD don't like to get cut, in no way shape or form, so El Pad went to the gym twice a day. It sucked balls. So much commitment to high school sports and I was already playing two sports.
Football humbled me though. Gave me discipline. Put a chip on my shoulder. My size prevented me from playing regularly. I mean it's not often your "Dime" package defense is on the field when most teams run the football. But I did get play on special teams and started to get good at being what they call a "gunner". It's where you line up wide in a punting formation and try to tackle the return man who receives the punt. Most times you have two blockers to get through. It's quite difficult but I was really really really fast so, if I can just get a small break on the inside or outside or one foot ahead of my guy they were both toast. I became so good that I was promoted to 3rd on the depth chart but again, Nickel package defenses were not being used that much either. Well, that knock that I was too small was too much, I hit the gym with vigor and with unbelievable drive. It's all I did. 17 years old, hitting the gym 7 times a week. Results....nothing. I was still a string bean. Coaches said it had to do with my metabolism. I was a skinny fuck no matter what I ate or did. So, next season I opted not to play football (also I broke my hand when spring practice came around) and focus on baseball and basketball. Metabolism won I guess.
Baseball coach never cared if I worked out, well he did but he wanted core exercises rather than lifting. I was the lead off hitter on the Varsity squad so he didn't want me hitting home runs (only had 3 my entire H.S. baseball career). So he had me doing you know, sit ups and all that calisthenic shit that came generally easy to me and took up only a half hour or so of time. As long as I got on base and score runs he was happy.
Basketball, I was buried. It was because I was white. I hate to say that but it was. I was the only white kid on the team and while I was the star for the J.V team when I got promoted to Varsity I saw about 6 minutes a game. Mostly mop-up duties and when they needed some clutch free throws I would be inserted. It wasn't that positive of an experience for a while. But then coaches changed and my senior year I played most of every game and led the team in assists, steals and FT %. We went to state and lost in the semi's. It was satisfying to show my teammates and other coaches that I could play at a high level for them.
Anyway, looks like I rambled for a minute. Sorry bout that. High School glory I guess. Back to your regular scheduled El Pad.....
Waking up 5:30am, going to the gym, working out for 40 minutes or so. Coming home, shower, breakfast, go to work. Didn't quite work out. Then I tried doing without the gym and just ride my bike in the morning to a park and do various exercises on the park play structures. That was actually more difficult than lifting weights. But alas, that did not work either. Work got out of hand, I need to be in earlier and that was that.
Coming home from work, eating dinner than going to the gym is just not ideal. Think about what you feel like when you come home from work then imagine eating a big dinner. Big dinner is what I do. I know no other way. Now, what about going to the gym before you eat dinner? Well now your talking about eating dinner at about 8:30/9:00pm. That shit can't be healthy.
What I'm doing here is I'm talking myself into believing that I am right for not making time for the gym. Clearly I am right. Right?
Screw the gym and their memberships. And their meatheads and smelly fungi bathrooms, and concrete powder substance shakes and their gay undertones and their screaming leg press guys and their silly dancing classes and their idiotic big ass rubber balls and their mirrored walls and their sweaty weight benches and their "dude spot me dudes". Fuck them all. I play sports. Once in awhile I'll throw down 20-30 push-ups. I drink beer. I eat meat. I don't run on treadmills.

Heath Ledger died a year ago, same day a year later he was nominated for an Oscar.
Hope I dont end up on this blog
What do you think bear meat taste like?
Those, "If you could eat with 10 people on a island who would they be" questions...I don'tlike them. First, 10 people is alot. I don't want to eat with 10 people ever unless there is a xmas tree erected somewhere. Second, what's with the island. Why can't we go over someone's house or eat in a nice restaurant? Just bothers me. Random, I know.

Squirmish
Unsure because he's unproven, doesn't show a strong love for the country, morals seem off, I can't really grasp anything that he stands for, he's given just about every important post to a Clinton stoolie, strongly considered Hillary Clinton as VP which is enough of an abomination as I can possibly think of and overall I think he lucked into becoming President. I mean the Dems could have trotted out Dead Uncle Bernie and he would have won. It was obvious Bush crushed his own party in this past election and mostly because people gave him a terrible approval rating. Not saying he was perfect but the way he's being pictured heading out of office is not something I would wish upon anyone. I mean let's just say he deserves better. Hopefully time will tell he was not as bad as people think or thought.
Either way it's time to move. Just couldn't not talk about it. It's kind of all over TV and stuff.

Who ordered the Turdburger?
I want to travel to all 50 states before I die. I'm putting together a list of each state and it's "good side". Taking me longer than I thought. Maybe I'll have it up tonight.
P.S. Arkansas sucks donkey dick.
My XBOX 360 is officially broken. Past the warranty time to fix it for free. Bill Gates will get a turdburger in the mail sometime this week. The decision making process for a new console begins. And don't tell me Wii. Wii is for little boys.
*Editor's note: Wii is fun, don't get me wrong. But it's drunk fun, fanily fun not shut all the lights out and play Call of Duty for 6 hours while a fan blows on the console. Ok. It's not "Finish a Madden season in one sitting" fun. It's just not.
The plane crash thing was incredible. That pilot must be a angel or something. Outstanding job. Pay him, take him out to a steak dinner. Something. Anything.

You guys are reading my food blog right? Updates daily.
I'm contemplating a switch to PS3 just for Blu-Ray purposes. Although the new XBOX 360's will have blu-ray technology. Decisions, decisions.
I've boycotted getting a haircut and am growing a winter beard. I ahve my reasons.
I got some holiday weight to drop.
Sexual harrassment courses at work are funny. I would write them a bit different.
Example:
What did Jimmy do wrong?
A. Shove his penis in Jill's face/rectum.
B. Slap her violently then rip her shirt off.
C. Drag his balls over her face.
D. None of the above, all are acceptable behavior.

Title Defenseless
Eli Manning's performance was offensive. Gilbride's play calling was painful. Going away from Jacobs in the 2nd quarter was silly. Especially when you saw what the wind was doing to Eli's balls (TWSS). The pass rush had at least one sack in 14 games this year. The other three they had zero......all three games were vs. the Eagles. The vaunted o-line couldn't get a push on crticial 3rd and 4th downs. 3-13 on 3rd downs. We missed Plaxico. Carney misses two FG's, one's he made all year. Football is painfully humbling. The worst team in the league can beat the best team in the league on any given day. There is no game 2 or 3 or 4 or 5. It's one game. It's 60 minutes. Sometimes the best team loses. And sometimes that's the team you root for. Give the Eagles credit. They have a very stingy defense and are playing their best football late in the year. When it matters most. Just like the Giants played down the stretch last year. They have also made the NFC Championship game 5 out of 8 seasons, which is impressive. Thank god No Super Bowl title to speak of (only one appearance) but still, a nice run for Reid and McNabb.
Anyway I blame all of this on the New York Mets. It is all their fault. Their past failures that allowed the Phillies to make the playoffs two years in a row and have given the city of Philadelphia that confidence that they never had before. Woe is me, we are gonna lose, we always lose, in heartbreaking fashion, this and that. Hemming and hawing, that is what Philly was known for. But now, since the Phillies won the World Series they believe they can win every game, and that this is a team, or a year of destiny. Fuck mojo. So thanks alot NY Mets. You ruined my summer and now you've stripped me of my winter.
I want to take a corn shit of grand proportions on Donovan McNabb's living room carpet. And then I want to put his fat mother's head in the oven.
At least the Cowboys are home.......

0.08%
How many times do you think you've driven a car after having a couple of cocktails? Ok. Good. And how many times do you think you were over the legal limit? You have no clue. I know. That's scary.
Let's say your at your boy's house watching the game and you've had 6 beers but you've ate 2 slices of pizza, 41 pretzels and some mixed nuts. Let's also say you pissed twice, once right before you leave the house. For sake of argument your not fat, even though you probably are, but your about my size. 5 foot 10, 185 lbs. What do you think your BAC would be?
Well, let's say you driving home, your going through a yellow light but it's a fast light and it blinks red quicker than you thought. Out of nowhere sirens are blaring and before you know it your on the shoulder of the road preparing to tell the officer that you've been drinking. Has to be a terrible feeling. Because the scumbag wants you to feel like you've done something wrong. Do you lie to him? When he asks have you been drinking what do you say? Yes. Or no. If you forgot to clean your mouth with a stick of Orbitz gum your breath might stink of beer and garlic powder. When he asks if you are willing to take a breathalyzer test what do you say? If you say no, at least in NY your immediately arressted for "suspicion of driving under the influence" and the only way to clear your record is to take a blood test that will show your BAC at the time was below the limit. If you reject the request to take a blood test the arrest will stick and you will be punished accordingly. So you take the breathalyzer test and you blow a 0.0816%. Now your name is Your Fucked because your going to get arressted. And your fine. You explain to your family that your fine, you could drive to Alberquerqe if you wanted to. But by law, your a drunk. Your a criminal drunk. And that my friends. Sucks.
Saturday is my birthday and we are going out to dine on tacos and beers. Two of my favorite things in the world. Cheap Mexican beer, cheap mexican food. Yes please. But you know what, I might turn down the last round so I can get home under the legal limit. And if I'm not under the legal limit, which there is a good chance I won't be, I hope I don't get pulled over.
Take no chances after you had a few. Stop for the yellow lights. Full stop at all stop signs. Don't speed. Let's admit, if your swerving your drunk and you don't know yourself. And you should get arressted. We like to sit here on our high horses and laugh at celebs and atha-leets who get busted for DUI's all the time. But we are no better. I know a girl who had a glass of wine on an empty stomach and drove home. She got pulled over (for driving like a women) and blew a smidge over 0.08%. Shocked as she was she admitted to having a glass of wine. The steel braceletes are cold. Real cold.
You guys be safe out there and know your limits. And if all else fails move to New Zealand where the legal limit is 0.15%!!!! Holy fuck that's like a 12 pack!

Broken spirit
And this is after a robust antipasto. Man I'm pumped.
Not really into the xmas spirit this year. Just a down year overall. Pile of bills, grandma, job situation isn't as rosey as it could be, obama, russians, terrorists, my xbox360 broke, and also my oven broke. But, I have two legs, two arms and for all intent and purposes I'm normal. Wife's normal, baby is a blessing. So i'm not complaining. From here til xmas I'm turning my xmas spirit on full steam ahead. Choo-choooo!

The Ox and Lamb kept time
The Little Drummer Boy, best performed by......
Harry Simeone Chorale
I love that song like I love big slabs of beef and fresh italian bread. I want to tackle a Xmas tree and roast chestnuts all at the same time. It's the perfect xmas song and sometimes, orchestra's don't get the credit they deserve.
For some reason I like cold weather. I think I'm alone in this when I say I look forward to the winter season. Now, rain and sleet and shit like that I could do without. Snow I like too. Weird. It just doesn't bother me, I'd rather be cold then hot. Cuz If I'm naked and sweating what can I do?
Haven't walked into a mall yet, very proud of myself.

207MM gone
One Ticket Wins Jackpot in December 12 Drawing
RELEASE DATE: 12/13/2008
There was one ticket that matched all six numbers in the December 12, 2008, Mega Millions drawing. That ticket, which was purchased in Piqua, Ohio, wins the estimated $207 million jackpot.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
One day? Please?
man that would be sweet.
207MM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First thing I'd do.
Assuming lump sum is what, 140MM? Give or take.
100MM in a high yield bank account. Maybe in Zurich or something like that.
The rest of the beans--- in No paticular order....
Each immediate family member gets 250K, cash. (that's like 12 people)
Each non-immediate family member gets 10K, check.
Me, wife, kid settle on a house or two. Maybe a suite condo on the West side and then a jersey shore house or something. Figure 40K for furnishes, nothing crazy.
Wife gets to go on a shopping spree. No limit.
Donating 50K to my church, 50K to Aids foundation, 50K to the Jimmy V foundation and 50K to the Children's hospital.
Would start my own clothing line. Would also quit to pursue being a sports talk radio personality.
Walk up and down the street smacking any Russian I see witha stack of $100's.
Pay off the credit cards and get the AMEX black. Nothing else.
Mail a signed picture of my balls to my landlord.
Wouls buy a sports bar. And a restaurant. Steakhouse I think. But more eclectic.
Invest 5MM in the stock market, no broker. I am my own broker.
Call Lenny Dykstra, pick his brain.
Season tickets to mets, knicks, giants, rangers.
2MM trust fund for kid, 1MM for college.
Maybe buy a few properties, and I mean all over the USA.
Row houses in SF. Wrigleyville bar or two. Club in the Bahamas. Bed and breakfast off Martha's Vineyard. Winery in Napa valley. Boutique hotel in Miami. Couple of Mickey D's. Cattle ranch in Texas. Vacation house in Tuscany. Condo in Vegas.
Shit like that.
Pay Snapple to make the old school soda's again. Like Birch beer and Cherry Lime Rickey.
Cars I don't care about. Maybe one toy car, and I like older cars. Forget private jets, I can always lease one if I need to. Commerical is fine. Less likely to crash too.
I know I'm leaving a ton of shit out but damn my mind is racing and I didn't even win.
Ok, back to sleep now.

Hi Dora
Sport fans, I post every Friday on one of the premier sports blogs on the web here. Check it out if you like winning money on gambling and general awesomeness.
Non-sports fans how are you? How could you not like sports? Unless your of course a women. Then it's allowable.
Grandma update. Um, in and out is the best way to describe it. Sometimes she is with it sometimes way way way way out of it. So we continue visiting her in the hospital and praying. Aprreciate all your kind words.
I've been trying to guess the 11 secret herbs and spices in KFC's chicken. Big fan by the way. Don't know if they still use it but hell here's my shot. And this is without looking for guesses on the internet.
Salt, Black Pepper, Paprika, Marjoram, MSG, Parsley Flakes, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Ground Mustard, All Spice, Chili Powder......I should try it to see if it tastes similar.
That's all I got.

Sigh, happy thanksgiving i guess
If there is a chance she can rehabilitate the injury and end up being ok I have yet to hear that prognosis yet. This is my hope, all of our hopes. Before going to my in-laws I will stop by the hospital to spend the morning with her. Hopefully she remembers me.
*Thanks in advance for any well-wishes in the comment section*

Yeah so I write now.
Zack was pissed. Not only did he lose his job over this but he also lost the trust of Jessica. The stress was almost too much. 3 days later, unshaven and miserable, Zack got a house call from Det. Wilson. He was looking for some information on the whereabouts of Timmy. "Did ya call his sister?" asked Zach. "Yes" replied Det. Wilson, "she said the last time she spoke to him he was with you" (looking down at pile of dirty clothes). Zach sat quiet for a moment. "Um, yeah, we hung out right before I was let go". "Let go", said the Detective. "Yeah" replied Zach, I was fired. "What for?" asked Det. Wilson.
That is all. I've been reading up on how to write screenplays and stuff so i figured i'd give it a whirl. The title of this piece would be Game Over (title still in works). I haven't fully worked out the plot out yet, well i have but i haven't decided on the subplots. I'll put it that way. I might make a subplot the main plot and vice versa. In short here it is.
"Zach Tyler works for EVG, Electronic Video Gaming, a company that designs and manufactures video games. It is a leader in it’s field, very successful. Zach is pretty much the go to guy in the company. He’s created three top sellers for the company and is in development for another. The name of this game is Hunted. The game is about revenge and murder. Zach delvs deeply into the psychology of this game and ultimately it consumes him. A string of murders rock Carson City, NV and unebeknowst to Zach’s family and friends, he is the guy that’s committing these murders. The development of these games he’s created, as well as games in the past have caused Zach to act out the game’s plots, all of which are causing loss of life. Connecting the dots will take Det. Wilson through the world of violent video gaming."

Muzak
I don't mind U2, I don't seek it out...the only steady U2 song I listen to is Beautiful Day. It keeps me from stabbing fellow straphangers.
Colplay. Eh. Maybe a song or two strikes me as listenable. Some of thier shit makes me want to kill myself.
Nirvana, not current I know but fucking solid shit right there.
Pearl Jam, never really developed a ear for them.
Green Day, punk rock, I can stomach them for a little while. Gets a little tired sometimes.
Listen I can't list every band in the world. You get my drift. I haven't found a complete band. Even Red Hot Chili Peppers makes a bum song that you scratch your head. Overall their shit is solid though. I'm kind of glad I don't have a favorite anyway. Keeps me open-minded to everyone else's shit and doesn't allow me to compare this one to that one and so on. It's so hard keeping up to new music anyway. We probably haven't even digested the older new stuff let alone the new new stuff. Especially with all these new dramatic bands like from Europe. Irish band and Snow Patrol and other U.K shit. I, so far, haven't minded their invasion.

LOUD NOISES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever on the receiving end of a voice from hell? This women's voice is just awful, loud and squeaky. A cross between Roseanne Barr and Fran Drescher.
Old guy on elevator this morning. Mind you it's 7:45 and I haven't yet eaten any food.
Old Guy (semi jogging/limping towards elevator) : Hold that please, hold that elevator!
Me : (Hitting door close button repeatedly) : Door open button is not working...(doors closing I just look away then laugh once the door's close and I'm alone).
The threat of hell doesnt bother me on bit. For all I know this is hell.
One of the ugliest woman in the world works here and harasses my boss. My god she is High Alert ugly. Fuck I feel bad for her. It's like there is no way she would ever find a mate that would even think about sharing a cab with her let alone disrobe her fat ass. And as a side note I'm 100% sure she has no mirror where she lives. All kinds of hilarity ensues from her outfits.
That's all I got. It was an exhausting week.

Be careful what you wish for.
I am American. I voted. My candidate lost. I will support my future president because I am not a turncoat. I do not want a civil war. I don't hate black people. I don't hate anybody except Chinese people on the N train and dirty scumbag russians who drive mercedes benze's while stealing money from the government (part of my problem with democrats). McCain ran a hell of a campaign and I am proud to say I voted for him. He is a natural patriot, a true American hero and fantastic man. I am disappointed that he loss but was amazed at the turnout and recognize the historical impact the election of 2008 had. I stressed my points about Obama the other day so you all know my issues with him, nonetheless the people have spoken and now it's time to move on and focus on the next 4 years and beyond.
But before I go.......I hope everyone who voted for Obama enjoys the next 4 years.
Enjoy the next 4 years of giving the money you earned to feed lazy people who don't feel like working.
Enjoy the Jesse Jackson's of the world and the Rev Al Sharpton's of the world deciding who's a racist or not a racist. White people unfortunately are not going to get the opportunity to criticize anything that Barack Obama does because it would be viewed as racist. Meanwhile anyone with a mouth openly bashed President Bush who not only gets a bad rap but was an above average President in these times. No republican has said Bush was great and I ain't either.
Enjoy getting taxed until your fucking eyeballs fall out.
Enjoy the national health care debacle. Free health care never works.
Enjoy the broken promises of change.
Enjoy the complete fallout from pulling out troops from Iraq pre-maturely.
Enjoy Russia doing whatever the fuck they want.
Enjoy it all! We'll talk in 2012. That's if a terrosit attack doesn't take me out on the way to work.

John McCain, 2008
Barack Obama and his band of democrats had a hand in this housing crisis. Democrats have fought for years to even things amongst potential homeowners. Loosening the rules, allowing candidates with sub par credit the opportunity to own a home in America. Yet all the blame gets put on the Bush. In fact it was Bush who wanted to privatize the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac coporations. Democrats laughed at him. It is the only way to protect the tax payers and the economy against the consequences of major financial difficulties of any of the three enterprises. It was the Republiclans who proposed increased oversight and regulation of Frannie and Freddie. If Obama wanted to give Low-Income families the ability to purchase a home in America he and the rest of his pigeons should take blame for that when it goes wrong instead of smearing shit on the people who believe otherwise. For years Obama worked for a "Community Organization" called ACORN. You've all heard of thier fradulent voting schemes but besides that they spent decades, DECADES pressuring banks and bank regulators to make more mortgages available to people without much credit. Most of those campaigns had heavy racial tones in them. Look it up. Fact.
Foreign policy wise this can't be a good situation. It actually makes my stomach hurt thinking about it. The inexperience of this man will be tested by the evil leaders around the world. Joe Biden even said this much about 2 weeks ago. Experience is paramount when dealing with foreign leaders. The fact that he's willing to meet, with no pre-conditions, with the likes of Hugo Chavez and that awful, awful man Ahmadinejad says it all.
Not to mention that he was born a Muslim. And while he denounces that religion and has embraced Christianity the cloud remains above his head. Middle Eastern countries cannot like the fact that he abandoned the Muslim law and it may compromise the ability of our government to safely protect our citizens abroad and here. It is completely unrealistic to think that our relations with the middle eastern countries will improve if Barack Obama was president. Israel is shitting their pants right now. And this also makes him a assassination target. Not because he is black but because he's a Muslim apostate.
He's a borderline socialist.
Patriotism. Where is it? I don't get the sense that Obama loves our country. I get that from McCain, he seems genuine. Obama to me just looks like he wants to get in the White House as quick as possible to put his policies to work. Obama has been seen (video evidence exists) not pledging his hand over his heart during the national anthem. His wife for the first time in her adult life is "proud of her country" and Obama refuses to wear an American pin on his jacket lapel. So much for American pride.
He's unaccomplished as a Senator. Plain and simple he's spent the past year of his Senate life campaigning to become president.
Tomorrow I will cast my vote for John McCain because he is the right man to lead this country. Join me. We all want change. But we want a change that points in the right direction.

Fake cock and balls?
The culprit behind this dream has to be those penis straws you see bachelorette's playing with when they are out at a bar or club. That has to be where my brain picked that up from. Still never understood the whole "let's walk around holding fake penises the night of my bachelorette party" but hey file that under "will never understand woman" and move on.
Anyway, well played Mr. Brain. Well played.

Moth Balls and Tupperware
Rays over Phillies in 5. I can't stomach the Phillies winning a championship. And the Rays story is so good. Gotta pull for them.
Credit cards. Nightmare.
This guy was napping. Gotta feel for some homeless people. Ever wonder if that could be you. Like family wise, how does it get to that point. It's sad.

SNL was hilarious on Sat night. Best ratings in some 14 years they say.
Colin Powell you disappoint me.
If McCain/Palin were smart they should promise a Palin nude spread. They'd win the election going away. No serious.
Rough tough football on the weekends is heating up. I'm no longer sore all week. Just Monday.
Made some plays yesterday too. Couple of TD's , deflected passes, some nice rushing plays. Good day. I love playing football and I love competing.
Are you guys prepared if an intruder breaks into your home? I hope so. If you need any tips let me know.

Mars >>>>> Venus
Stomach aches. I can count on my hand how many times I've ever had a stomach ache that was not related to drinking a heavy amount of scotch/whiskey, 12-15 beers or both. Woman, what the fuck with the stomach aches? Why do you always have one? Every other day, "I don't feel good". Why? "I don't know, I have a stomach ache". Jesus christ. Cut it out already.
Women have alot of shoes. I have black shoes and brown shoes. 40-2 is not fair.
Movies and overall violence/cool shit.
What's the deal with that. Why is a movie stupid because it involves killing, blood, scary things, trucks, barfights, fast cars, drugs and general awesomeness? That is what MAKES the movie good. Do you know what makes a movie not good? I will tell you. Kissing or hugging but no fucking, shopping, flowers, gay men, small dogs, talking small dogs, pink stuff, cackling woman, bff's, crying, bicycles and notebooks. So next time your watching something that has any one or all of those items I will make sure to ask you why your watching that shit. Just like you do to me.
Generally speaking. What is so satisfying about buying clothes or shopping in general.
The couch awaits.

No more movie quotes
He created the vagina but he also created std's. So the vagina can't be enjoyed to the fullest extent of the penal law.
He created beer but also created the beer gut.
He created music but didn't exclude country music.
Get the drift. He should keep certain people alive, like myself and start over with creating shit. First kill just about everyone except for maybe like 500 people. Then he should take the 500 people and move them to a remote location and re-create earth based on our suggestions. For instance I think women should have tits on thier back as well as thier front and they can only get pregnant when you want them to. Not everytime the sperm actually fertilizes the egg. Also I think there should be a couple of beer rivers. Poland has natural springs of fantastic drinking water why shouldn't we have natural rivers of golden ale? These are just a couple of ideas. Any way the point is after he re-creates the world on our terms he simply releases us back to earth and we all live happily ever after.

Shit doesn't just disappear!
Still not sure why the NY football Giants don't have cheerleaders.
I love Paella.
Apologizing is the worse.
Last night's debate stunk.
It's busy. Obviously.
Must suck to work in Mumbai.
Sales slump is a popular term lately.
Haven't had a good steak in a minute.
Despite not working out anymore my biceps are still fierce.
Why is everyone so afraid of mice?
I want to own a KFC.

credit crunch
Been getting addicted to the chick breakfast sand which from mickey D's. Always get two hash browns. Always.

Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Sorry for the extran half inch of head. I get restless.
