Halloween in June

A costume up gathering of sorts, I am going with someone as Kriss Kross.

Educate yo'self fool


Jump




Wearing a hoodie in 90 degree weather is dumb.

Pictures later if someone takes them.

I hate my job.

I am sunburnt, tired of teaching kids how to swim and dive when I really am learning right along with them, tired of having a "routine" during the summer, and tired of being tired.

FEEL BAD FOR MEEEEEEEEEE :(

P.S. Nat Geo is the new Discovery HD. "Lockdown" and "Explorer" may be my new favs, with shows about John Gotti and Methamphetamines to boot! Discovery HD is too much car stuff and general boringness right now.

Top five movie characters I wish I could be:

5.) Batman, the Batman Begins one - All the other Batmans are too over-the-top comic-y. My alltime favorite comic book movie, but the comic aspect of it really ruins half the fun.

4.) George Jung, Blow - Just to feel what its like at the top, then have it all come crashing down (or would it!?!? if it were me, that is).

3.) Frank Abagnale Jr., Catch Me If You Can - Just to be able to pull off the stunts he does would be great.

2.) Jack Sparrow - Things we have in common: love of ships, pirating, girls, and rum. The whole dreds thing and braided goat (which I would so do if I had the patience) top it off.

[Big gap]

1.) One of the McManus brothers in The Boondock Saints - Irish, badass, and the best tats EVER. I get hyped everytime I watch it.

Tiger Woods is the most impressive pro athlete of my time

The fact that he took a sport as boring and lacking a fun fanbase as golf and made it into this:



is testament to that.

Complain about the "death of the modest golf clap" all you want, I like this better.

Top 5 reasons to stop by at your local festival


No particular order on this one

1.) Its like a high school reunion, but with gambling and its much easier to avoid the creepers
2.) There is no such thing as too many bratts, metts, or italian sausages.
3.) Blackjack is a great time waster.
4.) Funnel cake.
5.) ....Honestly I can't think of a fifth reason. Let's be honest, for the most part festivals suck bunghole and the only reason people go are to enjoy the wonderful vices of life. Irony at its best....

...just don't puke in the pews!! :)

Allegory, Alliteration, Symbolism, Imagery, Irony, Meter, Rhyme.

common elements of poetry; See:



Parental Advisory be damned (see: using the 1st Amendment to the fullest), Tha Carter III is talent. "Lollipop" (that song that you hear about 4 times/hour on the radio) could arguably be the worst song on the album.

I challenge anyone to argue that hip-hop is not in many ways a sub-genre of poetry.

Fun Fact about me:

Whenever I create myself in any baseball videogames, I have always used "Griffey" as my batting stance.

Cheers to the most beautiful swing in the game.

Power outages are fun!

Until you try to get online or get hungry and realize nothing can be cooked
and oh yea your last bag of chips is down to the crumblies
that cannot ever be used to dip into your favorite salsa
and oh now you have to pee
BUT WAIT there is no light and
grrrrreeeeeeaaaatttt the sun has since set
so you are using your bat senses to keep from hitting the side
because if a girly is the next to go
and the power is still out
she will undoubtedly sit in your liquids,
bringing about certain death.



But yea, mainly no internetz. That sucked.

The power was out for seven hours and all I got was this shitty free-verse.

"Chad Who?"

It looks like there is a new Cincinnati favorite arising, and to my shock and surprise, he doesn't don the orange and black.



I may not be ordering a jersey yet, but I'd be lying if I tried to act like I haven't checked the price...


Sure, Bruce is not the savior of the franchise. He is a piece, though. Maybe the sudden rise of Volquez (a true talent at SP for once?!!?!) is more reason to be excited, but hitting fills the seats. Just that has happened since Bruce has arrived, too. For the Pirates series, in which Bruce made his MLB debut, attendance was hovering right around 17,000, excluding the always popular Indians series.

For the 3-game series against the Braves (admittedly, a team that probably has a higher draw anyways), attendance more than doubled to an average of 37,181. Barring a terrible away stretch, I imagine those numbers are going to continue for at least the next few home games.

I know I plan on making a game, before I wake up...
