Seriously Mackenzie, Seriously?

I just do not understand people? Maybe I think too much? Anyway, this whole Mackenzie Phillips thing is nucking futs. However, I have a few thoughts on the matter.

All I have to say about John Phillips is that if the Rolling Stones didn't want to hang out with you in the 70's because you were too messed up... Then he had some serious issues.

Also, I am not saying that incest isn't disgusting and horribly wrong. It is, but she keeps saying that it was consensual? Then I read the word 'forced' in the same sentence. Last time I check (Forgive me if I am slow, I only went to a SUNY school), but consensual means both parties agreed to participate in whatever act they participated in. In this cats opinion she shouldn't be pitied or sympathized in this situation.

What the F**k?

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people? That girl from Hofstra, that guy from Yale. I do not get people anymore? Why do good people seem to always get fucked over and/or killed? I have some tips for that girl from Hofstra though. If you do not want to be labeled as a tramp... Do not have sex with 4 guys in one night while they all watch! If you were a band you'd be Supertramp.

Random Thoughts 12

Kanye West is a moron. Shut up and go away for a while. Please!!

The 'fans' that vandalized that dude from the Buffalo Bills lawn need to get a fucking life. He fumbled a football. Get over it. I know they take football really serious up there, but seriously what the hell is wrong with people?

How come there are no Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute concerts? I saw one of the Experience Hendrix ones and it was really cool. I wanna see more SRV related shows.

Hello.

I have been dormant for a while, but now I am back. I got a lot on my mind so I want to share it with ya'll.

What the fuck is with that moron heckling Obama during he speech? It is not a minor league baseball game. The President of the US is giving a speech. I know the health care reform is a touchy subject with everyone, but people wonder we (the normal people) hate politicians. Because they act like jack asses!! First those jerks in Albany, now heckling in the house? Someone going to start the wave next? Maybe shoot t-shirts with their opinions into the crowd? What a bunch of idiots. People are entitled to their opinion, but sometimes it is better just to shut up.

The Beatles re-mastered albums came out and I am fucking geeked. They deserve all the hype they receive even 40 years after they broke up. No one and I mean NO ONE will ever accomplish what they did in basically a 6 1/2 year span. They were geniuses and matured so fast in terms or musicianship and songwriters it is unreal. They went from 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' to 'Strawberry Fields Forever' in a matter of a few years. It is mind blowing to think of all they accomplished. I mean, George was only 26 when they made Abbey Road for fuck sake!!

Blargh...

I am so fucking sick of this story of the cop & Professor from Harvard. I am so sick of racism and people claiming racial profiling on everything that happens. Are these real issues? Yes, very much so. I have not had to deal with these problems, so I cannot put myself in anyone else's shoes. But... people need to realize not all things are a black & white issue. Sometimes people are just assholes. Sometimes people are just mean, ignorant and selfish. Not everything is a race issue. I am sure both men in this case overreacted. It is unfortunate and sad that it becomes a world event. My biggest disappointment with this issue is how the president handled it. He made comments that were so ignorant. I have to say he is really letting me down so far as president. I see him on Entertainment tonight more than on the news.

3 Album Run's

Just a thought... What are some of the best 3 album runs in history of music? Some bands have had some classic material back to back to back. This is solely for the purpose of debate, so in no particular order some thoughts...

Van Morrison: Astral Weeks, Moondance, His Band and the Street Choir
Rolling Stones: Let it Bleed, Beggars Banquet, Exile on Main Street
Beastie Boys: Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Cummunication
The Who: Tommy, Who's Next, Quadrophenia
U2: War, Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree
Thin Lizzy: Nightlife, Fighting, Jailbreak

Discuss...

Guitar Tone

I am listening to some Zappa right now and his guitar tone is just unreal. I am not talking about his playing, but the way the notes sound when they come out his guitar. Few guitar players have it. Neil Young is another guy. His tone is so distinct and mesmerizing. What are some other guitar players that have an identifying tone? Hendrix? Van Halen? Tone is different than playing style. Discuss...

Filibuster

Is every politician a cheater, thief and pervert? What the hell? Talk about letting their power go to their heads (Both of them! Hey-o!). All those morons in Albany should just fight each to the death to be able to leave that building. If they are just going to do nothing while they're in there, they might as well make it interesting?

Madoff should go to jail for the rest of his life and he should have no money left to his name. His family should have nothing. You're telling me they don't know  anything about what he did to those people? Give me a break. If he only gets 12 years that is a joke.

Let's hope the Knicks keep Lee & Robinson, get Stephen Curry and maybe one or two other quality players tonight. I hope at least one of these guys is in a Knicks uniform come July 1st.

Iced Tea is good.

Hello...

I just do not understand this fucking place?

Ever notice people at Starbucks or wherever who are trying really, really hard to read something, but have sunglasses on? Don't you want to smack them in the back of the head and say "Take off your sunglasses when you're inside, you jackass!" I do.

Sammy Sosa took steroids? Come on. No way! Love how these reports come out 6 years later. Is there anyone in MLB who hasn't taken steroids and actually can hit home runs? That's why I liked guys like Dan Pasqua and Mike Pagliarulo.

That whole Sarah Palin vs. David Lettermen thing is so stupid. He made a joke (albeit a bad one), he apologized, get over it. She should focus her time somewhere else. All of a sudden she is very very touchy and protective of her family. When she went on SNL and was mocking herself and getting publicity that was different I guess? Now people have gone too far? Give me a break lady.

People need to listen to more Fishbone.

In a World...

Whenever I go to Blockbuster now to rent movies I hear that 'movie preview guy' voice in my head. It doesn't matter what movie I am looking at I read the overview in 'movie preview guy' voice.

Best Moment Ever

I saw some of the MTV Movie awards last night and when Bruno fell on top of Eminem and then he flipped out, that was hysterical! Whether it was staged or not is up for debate. I think MTV knew where to drop Bruno, but Eminem didn't seem too happy when it did happen. So who knows? But regardless, seeing Eminem walk away all pissed off was priceless. He is one of those guys that makes fun of everyone, but if you mess with him he gets all angry. Good job MTV. You finally got something right.

What?

What the fuck is wrong with the world? Swine Flu, War, the Economy and now rumors that Jamie Foxx might play Frank Sinatra in a Scorsese directed biopic. What the fucking fuck? Jamie Foxx?? Come on man, that is just ridiculous. According to an article over at Paste a industry insider said that "Cool is color blind and that Jamie would be born to play that role." Give me a break. That is no longer a bio-pic then, isn't it?

Everybody...

...Should listen to more Solomon Burke!

Ra-ra-ra-ra-rant

Since this is my blog and I can say whatever the fuck I want I am going to rant a little...

I hate when you are driving and you notice someone next to you with their blinker on. They obviously want to get into your lane, but they do not move when you slow down to give them space to get in. Then, they gun it and cut you off or cut someone else off when you had given them room to get into the fucking lane. Pay attention you assholes and stop cutting me off!

I hate diagonal walkers in parking lots. Walk fucking straight! Ever hear that crazy theory that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line? Well, try it sometime you pricks.

This 'Swine Flu' thing is getting out of hand. I know it is scary and a cause for concern, but if you can treat it with over the counter medication, maybe the media should actually focus on that? It is called taking care of yourself. More people should try it on a regular basis.

Monday... Ugh!

I changed my mind (again) and the worst show ever in the history of TV is Daisy of Love. Jesus Christ! I can't believe the knuckle heads on that show. It is sad that Daisy is still single. If Riki Rachtman thinks she is a catch, then that must be the truth! Would Riki lie to us?

Swine Flu? What the fuck?!?

The new Dylan album is awesome. Why more album's don't feature the accordion I will never know?

What kind of world are we living in? Animals being fired from the zoo and pirates! Things are insane out there. The first time I heard the term 'Ponzi Scheme' I thought someone said 'Fonzi Scheme'. I was like, does Potsie know? Where is Ralph Mouth?

Weirdsville

What the hell is going on in the world?

Sportscenter is a damn entertainment show now. Forget Sports, let's talk about Snoop Dogg and Eva Longoria. What the fuck?

Sorry Phil Spector. Take care, comb your hair! All I have to say is this... If the Ramones thought you were weird, then you got some fucking issues.

What is with Knicks fans? David Lee is the type of player the Knicks have needed since Oakley, Starks & Sprewell split. Now he is overrated? When he is let go for nothing the fans will cry when he is gone. Lebron James ain't going to come to NY if there are a bunch of nobodies here.

Bacon is king!

I Know, I Suck

Yes, I have been slacking. I am sorry. I just haven't felt very inspired lately. I try to blog everyday, but I just get side tracked and then I forgot. It happens, but what can you do? I will do my best to start this up again and make sure I write new content everyday. That being said let's get down to brass tax...

Anyone catch the Rock of Love finale? The whore won.

So long Isiah Thomas. I am sooooooooooooo sad to see you go.

As if the world isn't screwy enough, now we have to worry about pirates?

I love the Beastie Boys and the album 'Check You Head', but do I really need 10 versions of 'So What'cha Want' with that deluxe edition?

Damn you Wendy's Spicy Chicken Samich!!

Review & Comments

The new Mets stadium is pretty impressive I must say. The beer selection was not, but other than that it was fun to check out the new ball park & walk around. We sat in Section 139. Which is in center field territory. The view was great and the seats were spacious and comfortable. Drink holders were a huge plus! They are right in front of you when you sit down and most people were like Whoa! Drink holders! The Mets got blown out, but overall a good time. I would definitely go back.

Bristol Palin is now advocating abstinence? Nice, that might have been good to "advocate" about a year ago.

Marley & Me is fucking sad.

TTYL Plax

Good riddance Plaxico. I know, I know, he 'was' a super bowl hero. Who cares! He is a punk and a moron. He shot himself and did a whole bunch of other crap to ruin his chances. Then, the Giants offer him a contract with lots of incentives so he could recoup all the money he lost and he turned it down. Thanks for the loyalty asshole. I just do not understand these athletes. He will sign with someone else and make a shit load of money just because he can catch a ball. Outside of that, he has no redeming qualities at all.

This just in from the please shut up department... Madona, please just shut up. I do not get the whole I want to adopt a kid from a third world country thing? I do get that maybe, just maybe you really want to help these kids. You do not get that people who can't have kids or have trouble adopting kids do not have the special priviliges that you do. People wait years to adopt kids and you go over choose them like it is a buffet. Just shut up and go practice your weird lifestyle somewhere else. Oh yeah, bring A-Rod too.

I am going to the Mets game today. I am excited to see Citi Field and to go to ball game. It has been years. I will write a review of the stadium later.

Listen to the new Mastodon album now!!

Sign 'O the Times

I don't know what the fuck is going anymore? I paid off my credit card with my wife's help and the credit card company tells me there is 'suspicious activity' on my card? Suspicious activity because I paid off my card? When I was spending money like an idiot no gave a shit, but now that my balance is $0... they want to make sure all is well? They are giving me a new card and I have to answer a series of security questions on-line. Thanks, love the reverse security. Way to stay on top on my transactions.

Until the economy gets better I don't care what Michelle Obama is wearing or what teams Barack picked in the NCAA tournament.

I know I mentioned this a while ago, but you just can't make a Slurpee or a Fribble at home. No way is it possible.

Who'd win in a fight Twinkie the Kid, Kool Aid Man or Punchy of Hawaiian Punch fame?

Enuff Z Nuff

I have been dormant too long. I got way too much on my mind and I am ready to freak out. With that being said, how the hell is everyone?

That whole 'MTA' thing makes no sense to me. How the fuck can you keep raising fares, but keep lowering service standards and cut routes? Those are the real criminals. Also, Patterson is a moron and the 'caricature' they have of him on SNL is way too realistic. NY State should wake up and realize that he isn't a governor that is being made fun of, he is making fun of being a governor.

Madoff, that guy is one glorious scum bag. He needs to be sent to a federal prison. How can you have house arrest in a mansion? How does this guy still have any money? He deserves whatever he gets. He will probably serve a few months and then go to one of his 11 houses and rip more people off.

That Octo-mom is still fucking nuts.

Knicks, what happened to you?

What the hell is going on in Lost? Where is Vincent???

Shocking!

I heard some really upsetting rumors today. Last night at Britney Spears' concert at Nassau Coliseum... there were reports of lip syncing! Oh my god! I just can't believe it. I do not want to believe it. I mean, how is that possible? Britney, come on. It isn't her fault really. She can't smoke crack, dance, sing and maneuver that mattress back of hers all at once.

Random Thoughts 11

No white basketball player will ever be taken seriously with a ponytail.

Good job Knicks. Some of the best road wins I have seen in years.

If one of NBC's top stories is a riot at an Iron Maiden concert then it is a slow fucking news night.

Farewell & Good Riddance

Goodbye Starbury! Take your attitude and creepy head tattoo with you.

Yikes!

The Jonas Bros. are some ugly mutha truckers. Do we really need to see them in 3D? Little kids will be running from the theater like it is on fire.

The Day is So Slow

This day is dragging worse than a dog with no legs on it's nightly walk.

Ideas for Friday

Thank god it is Friday is all I have to say. What is everyone doing tonight? I have some suggestions for your Friday. You can have a drink? That was a dumb statement. Of course you are going to have a drink! You old salty dog. I have an interesting idea for you all. Why don't you take the Marmaduke Challenge. What is the Marmaduke Challenge you ask? Read the Marmaduke comic strip everyday for a week and see if it covers anything other than the fact the dog is huge and/or he eats a tremendous amount. If it does cover something other than those 2 topics, then the universe is wonky and something is wrong.

Not the Same

Call me crazy, but Kelly Clarkson's album getting 'leaked' doesn't have the same effect on me as U2's album getting 'leaked'.

Does anyone even watch the Oscars? Seriously, who fucking cares.

Children's cartoons are so weird. Whatever ever happened to good cartoons? Very few of the new ones are alright, but the characters are just creepy. I like a coyote chasing a roadrunner, not something that looks like it got run over.

New Drink

Cleopatra Jones

Bushmill's Black Bush Whiskey
Ginger Ale
Some Ice
and a Glass

I would say 3 to 1 ratio or so Ginger Ale to Whiskey. But as with any drink it is to your liking. I suggest starting slow though, these creep up o you.

Superman 2

I don't get Superman 2. Actually, just one specific part. That giant cellophane 'S' he had? What the hell was that? Where did he get it? Why did he have it? Why did he use it then? Those were 3 super villains and what good would a paper 'S' do against them? Why didn't he use it on regular criminals? Wouldn't General Zod be the laughing stock of the universe if he was done in by a cellophane 'S'? Was it an emergency only 'S'? Color me confused.

Thursday, February 19, 2009

I am glad the Knicks took David Lee off of the trading table (for now). Until the trading deadline passes I am nervous about him getting traded. He hustles and has heart. They always get rid of those types of players. Sprewell, Ewing, Oakley, Mason, Starks, hell even Kurt Thomas. Do not trade David Lee!

You know what isn't good, watching Man vs. Food at 11 o'clock at night when you are hungry.

I haven't had a Yodel in a dog's year.

Blah, Blah, Blah

I don't understand A-Rod. Last week he didn't know what he took, but now he knows what he took, when he took it and where he got it? But he didn't think he was doing it right? What the hell man. Either give all the details & answer all the questions or just shut up. The baseball season hasn't even started yet and I am already annoyed at all the players.

How come you cannot get a small soda anymore? I went to Taco Bell last week and they have like a little kiddy cup and I wanted that with a little soda in it and they wouldn't give it to me. What's the difference? I was still going to pay for it. I just do not want a liter of soda for lunch. Not that Taco Bell is healthy, but that is just too much fucking soda!

Amy Fisher is a stripper now? Wow, she is really a sparkling example of a woman. Who would pay to see her? I just do not get the draw? Does she say, I shot a woman in the face and I am a whore... come see me dance? She must be desperate. That's it!

Hahaha... Furious George!

Furious George

I am sorry, but what the hell is wrong with people? Raising a chimp as a pet? It is a wild animal. I feel bad for the woman who got mauled, but the owners or this animal should be held responsible. Wild animals are not pets. They should be in the Congo, not Stamford fucking Connecticut. Why don't they get a mountain lion and dress your kids in a meat suit. Assholes.

Thank god it is Friday! I am a slacker lately with the posts. I mean to, but I always forget. Anyway, I have a 3 day weekend this weekend. That is some damn good news. I am going to see Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings tonight with Kim. It should be awesome. We could all use a little super-soul-excitement. We are eating at Blockheads before hand. Man, I love Mexican food.

This weekend is NBA all-star weekend. My predictions are... In the 3 pt Shoot Out - Roger Mason, Slam Dunk contest - Nate Robinson and in the game - The West.

The more I see that woman who had 8 kids on the news the more I realize she is bat shit crazy.

I am convinced Ernie Anastos is an android. That guy has to be 106 at least!

Tuesday, February 10, 2009

Nice!

A-Rod, good for you. Yes, you 'admitted' you used a banned substance. I do give you credit. Not too many other people have come forward in the same way. It was refreshing to see. However, you loose points for claiming you do not know what you took? You said you had trainers, friends & whatnot that were around and you just took a bunch of pills without knowing? Wow, you are stupid.

Chris Brown is an idiot. Not my best friend's brother I mean the R&B singer. Nothing says 'thug' like beating your girlfriend.

No matter what you say or do you can't make a Slurpee, Frosty or a Fribble at home. It just isn't the same.

And...

Oh, by the way Rachael Ray the time is 14:59.

That woman who had the octuplets is nuttier than squirrel shit. Did she have plastic surgery or did she suck on a hot curling iron?

Lots to Discuss

Wow, an action packed weekend. Lots of stuff to talk about. Let's start off with that train wreck of an awards show the Grammys. Holy shit man, that show is horrible. Why do the same 5 bands/artists win and/or nominated for every award? John Mayer won an award for a concert CD/DVD he recorded in 2007. Tom Petty won an award for long format music video that came out in 2007. I love Tom Petty, but come on! Dwezil Zappa even won an award. How is that possible? It isn't even his song. It is his fathers and he never won any Grammys. I am a huge Zappa fan as well, but that just makes no sense to me. Kayne sucks and that whole "rat pack" thing he was involved with was retarded. TI, Jay-Z and M.I.A. What the hell was that parade of fuck? I didn't see U2 or Radiohead, but I will Youtube those later. At least they perform new music or take it seriously. Most of those clowns just want to be seen. It has become such an inside joke that only the performers or people there understand or like what is happening. Paul McCartney can play the same 2 Beatles songs every awards show and he gets a standing ovation. I just don't get it.

Nothing is going to happen to A-Rod or Clemens unless some actually gets convicted. All these bitter trainers & employees saying they have evidence & shit is making a joke of MLB and it's current players.  Then let's see it. I think these jamokes should name names. I want to know all of these roid raging tools and prove them innocent or guilty once and for all. At least Giambi and Pettitte apologized in some way.

Random Thoughts 10

As a Knicks fan I am less embarrassed about last nights loss. At least they were in the game late. When they played the Lakers, that was just downright disgusting. The fans yelling 'MVP' for Kobe are assholes though. Way to show support for the home team.

I was watching Teen Wolf today and I was wondering to myself why Styles never got his own movie? I'd watch it.

S-s-s-s-s-l-o-w

I apologize for the slow response time between blogs. There is no special reason for my laziness in writing blogs. I wanted to start off by writing about the stupidest people alive. The passengers from the flight that landed in the Hudson River. They survived a fucking plane crash into freezing waters and they are unhappy? Are they all morons? Yes, I think so. They got money, free first class upgrades on future flights and something else? What was it? Oh yeah I remember... their fucking lives! People make me sick. Let them go search the Hudson for their cell phones and luggage. Those articles can be replaced easily. I guess you can never make everyone happy even when you save their sorry asses.

The Super Bowl commercials sucked. Except one. The one where the Koala gets punched in the face. Priceless.

Leave Michael Phelps alone. So what he smoked pot. Oh no! It is so sad that some people will purposely wait around so that they can catch celebrities doing something 'bad' and then sell the image to the media. He didn't do what other athletes have done recently and kill anyone, dog fight, do heroin or shoot someone. There is such a double standard with athletes it is insane. It is pot. Get over it.

I was watching 'A Double Shot of Love 2' with the Ikki twins last night and it occurred to me. These are in-fact the stupidest people on the face of the planet.

M.A.F. Day Recap & More

Yesterday was the 56th Annual M.A.F. Day. What is M.A.F. Day you ask? It is Movies, Alcohol & Food Day. My original intent was for folks to call out sick and come over as early as possible and hangout all day watching 'B' movies. I know calling out sick from work is a lot for people, but I feel it adds a little thrill to it. It is totally understandable if people cannot do that though. No hard feelings at all. It was a really fun day overall. Our mission of 'no drama, just relaxation' was accomplished. We got through about 6 movies. We watched 'The Last House on the Left', 'Cabin Boy', 'Caddy Shack', 'Big Lebowski' and 'Kentucky Fried Movie'. We only made it through half of 'Them!'. I don't know why we only watched half of it, but we needed a break and to get up & stretch. Then we sort of lost interest. It is an awesome movie though. Kim made some killer pulled pork & cole slaw, we had tons of stuff to drink and it was a lot of fun. My mind is already thinking of the next M.A.F. Day event and what we can watch. I do know that 'Monster Squad' and tacos are involved.

Does anyone else give a shit about Terrell Owens' reality show? I feel like he already had one because he was such a complete train wreck on his own.

Jessica Simpson sucks. She is on my list of people that should be moved to a desserted island and she has to fight her way off 'Lord of the Flies' style.

What the F?

I probably bitched about these things previously, but I don't care. If you do not like it get your blog then! Why do albums need to come out in 45 different versions? U2's album, the Pearl Jam 'Ten' reissue. Give me a break. Say it with me... r-e-c-e-s-s-i-o-n. Make these deluxe editions like $20 then. Not $60 or $90. That is so fucking stupid. I do not want any fancy poster or some used napkin Bono wiped his mouth with or a 'I heart Pearl Jam' bumper sticker. Give me something I can actually use. Maybe unreleased tracks or concert tickets? So I have to drop $60 on a deluxe edition CD and then $300 for tickets. Way to think of fans first. Kick my dog while your at it.

I think of all the sports leagues Major League Baseball players have the biggest egos and are the furthest from reality. Just admit you took steroids and move on. I am so sick of hearing about these morons. Your telling me 65 year old Roger Clemens is still in great shape and can throw 90 mph just because he is a hard worker? Give me a break. Mark McGwire just gained 45 lbs of muscle from changing his work out? I love these low life trainers and supposed 'friends' who have DNA samples, recipets, credit card numbers and any other sort of proof you need and these guys still deny it. So ridiculous.

Also, Joe Torre can say whatever he wants. He was thrown away and he has every right to make a book. Plus, it hasn't even come out yet and it involves a lot of people close to his years with the Yankees. He isn't the only one saying things about A-Rod or the management. Here is an idea to all those people who are upset by his allegations... read the book first and/or don't act like an asshole then!

City Folk

I can't believe is almost February. Where did the time go? We had an interesting weekend. We went to the Knicks game Friday night. Had dinner at Stout first. Thanks Ms. Waitress for not coming back to our table for 40 mins. We didn't have plans or anything. Maybe if I wore my business suit, trench coat and said 'bro' every 5 seconds we would have gotten service quicker? I love the city, but sometimes I just shake my head and don't get people. Do people look in the mirror before they leave the house? What is with those skinny jeans? What is comfortable and good looking about those? They look like pants you can't possibly fit in and the ass got stretched out. Then you got those clothes with the 80's neon colors on them. I didn't like neon, even when it was considered 'mint'. And why do people wear sunglasses inside? We were in the downstairs bar of Stout and it is dark & loud. Why would you possibly need sunglasses at that point in time? But other than that it was a good time. The Knicks won and I enjoyed my Jamaican Pork Burger. It was joyous.

Gate 77

We are going to the Knicks game tonight. Should be fun. Not sure who they are playing, but I love going to games at MSG. Just a little tip though, if you go to the Garden. By Gate 77, they pour the best Guinness in town. It is a little expensive, but they fill that sucker to the rim and it is bigger than a pint. From what I hear, a great steak sandwich is served at the same place. The Prime Rib is the name. Right by Gate 77. Do it.

Doritos

Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos are the best!

TGiF

Thank god it is Friday. If this week was an 80's chewable candy it was Bonkers. I need a beverage or 4. Who's with me? I was going to watch the NBC shows last night, but I was watching the Untouchables and I got sucked in. That is such a great flick. Sean Connery is awesome in it. You know what is really good though? A McDonald's sausage & egg biscuit. Yes, it is dreadful that I eat that stuff, but it is so good! Have you had one lately? I recommend it.

Fast Week

Sorry for the delay in writing. The week sort of got away from me. A lot has happened. Obama got sworn in. His wife got her wardrobe analyzed belief. Who cares who she is 'wearing'? With all the historical significance of the inauguration does it really matter what kind of fucking shoes she has on?

Lost was on last night and it was weak. Drinking games couldn't even make up for the fact that the episode showed us nothing. I have so much time invested in this show now I want to see what happens. I can't give up on it. I was close a few times, but I stuck it out. How has Vincent the dog not been eaten yet?

Listen to Your Gut

I knew I should have stayed home today.

Weird

Ever have one of those days when you feel like the clothing you own doesn't fit you right? Everything fit weird and/or had static electricity. I must have tried on 5 different t-shirts.

Random Thoughts 9

I was watching Tool Academy yesterday and something struck me as rather curious. Maybe the girlfriends of these 'tools' should have their own show too? I would call it something like Stupid Girlfriend Get the Point!

Best moment on Rock of Love: Bret tells one mattress back that she shouldn't take her clothes off if she didn't want to, but then off camera calls her a buzz kill for not taking her clothes off. He truly is a rock star. I really wonder why love has eluded him for this long?

Does anyone care about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions? Most of the people who vote for that are more grumpy & bitter than the Baseball Hall of Fame voters. Also, just change the name to the Music Hall of Fame. Madonna isn't rock... OK?

Ricardo Montalbán

I apologize for not posting this sooner. RIP to Ricardo. He passed away on January 14th. Everyone, raise your glasses and on the count of three say this with me...

One... two... three...

Khannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!

Joke of the Day?

Looking at that Boddingtons logo reminded me of a joke...

What kind of bees give milk?

Boo-bees.

Hahahahahahaha! Drum roll please... Uh oh, the Sandman is coming to take me off stage.

Random Thoughts 8

Since I complain about MTV a lot I must be watching it, right? Yes, I do watch these shows, but mainly because I am shocked that these morons are on TV. It is like seeing a really bad car accident on the highway. You try not to look, but you can't really help it. What the hell is that Double Shot of Love show? Who the hell are the Ikki twins? WHY? WHAT? HUH?

Never get bacon on Domino's Pizza. Don't ask... just not a good idea.

I hate those Ed Hardy & Von Dutch shirts. Most people have no clue who those people are. If you don't know, Wikipedia them. I also hate shirts that look like a spray can exploded on it. I just don't get it.

The plane that crashed (actually landed) into the Hudson was an absolutely amazing story. The pilot should definitely be praised. Incredible! But, are we still at the point where we have to mention terrorism every single time there is a crash, explosion or event? Not making light of 9/11 or anything, but I was reading Newsday, which is owned by Cablevision, which owns Newsday and they had to say that terrorism was not a factor right after they just said that birds were the cause of the engine failure. So pigeons work for Bin Laden now? Birds caused the emergency landing, but these are rogue birds. They are not affiliated with any terrorist groups of any kind? Please do not mention terrorism at all unless you know it is an act of terrorism. Even mentioning the 'T' word gets people going.

I think I got herpes just watching Rock of Love Tour Bus... is that bad?

I need a Lebowski.

Some Artwork


Here is a poster I did for my friends band. I love the old 'Fillmore' style posters. I did this all in Photoshop.

NFL

I am sick of hearing about these guys in the NFL constantly get into trouble and yet these teams take them back simply because they can catch a ball. I think the NFL needs a new slogan.

How about this... The NFL, everyone deserves nine chances.

Manly

Why don't those truck commercials they show during football say what they really mean. If you are a man and do not drive a super, heavy-duty, special toolbox, chrome step-up, hemi engine truck then you are a raging homosexual.

Anyone catch the Tool Academy last night? Best show ever created. I wonder who will win? Celebrity, MEGA, Matsuflex or the one they call Josh?

Huh?

I saw the news for a few seconds last night and I saw a very special report. Obama (who I voted for) was talking about he'd back a college football playoff system. Wow, important stuff. I have an idea though. How do I say this delicately...

FIX THE FUCKING ECONOMY.

Drink of the Day


Your Goal for the Night...



New section. I give you an idea for the night.

Your Goal for the Night...
Is to listen to Thin Lizzy's 1978 classic album 'Live and Dangerous' and to have at least 2 or 3 drinks. It is one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. I prefer a little lighting, a comfy chair and just listen the music. This is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Here is a little background on the album:

Don't have this album? I guess you can watch The Real World Brooklyn on MTV or some crap?

Side note:
Listen to the harmonica playing by Huey Lewis on 'Baby Drives Me Crazy'. Yes, that Huey Lewis.

The Gooch

1 Egg Scrambled
Turkey
American Cheese
1 Scoop of Home Fries
Hot Sauce
On a Roll

This is a Scotty C original. There maybe other variations, but they're not Scotty C approved.

Jet Jaguar


This is the Jet Jaguar figure I bought a few weeks ago. I just like Jet Jaguar.

Scout = Elf


This is Scout aka. Scouter aka. Licky Browndog Floppytongue III. I need to laugh, so I posted this pic. Hope it does the same for you.

Merging

Does anyone on Long Island know how to merge? When I was driving this morning traffic was backed up and I figured there must be an accident. There was (of course) and it was in the left lane. So... why does everyone gun it in the left lane right up until the last possible moment before they should get over and then cut me off or block traffic so that the can get over? If you got over to begin with then it would be OK. I do not understand the trouble? I wish I could have one of those wall street tickers in my car that would repeat messages as I drove. It could say nice job dicko or way to not pay attention asshole! You know, really positive stuff. Or have a James Bond type license plate that rotated messages as well. That way you can curse people out without saying a word. I am going to invent that.

What in the World?

What the hell is this Bromance show? Seriously, what is this place coming to? I have a lot of guy friends and I have once said in my life lets hang out... Bromance style? That is the stupidest fucking thing I have ever heard. Who are these clowns who go on the show? People wonder why our country is going to shit. Look no further than Bromance.

No matter if you put sausage, ham or turkey on a sandwich or all three it just isn't bacon.

VH-1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs

Whoever voted on this list is on some serious drugs. I do not want to rant like I usually do, but this list is utter crap. There is no way in hell that Evanescence, Velvet Revolver, Marilyn Manson or Andrew W.K. have any songs better than Jethro Tull's 'Aqualung'. That song is better than anything any of those clowns have ever put out. How is that even possible? Why is Europe even on this list? The fucking 'Final Countdown' really? 'Born to be Wild' was #53 and Poison's 'Talk Dirty to Me' was #40? Green Day was #33. What the fuck! It is apparent by this list that no one seems to understand what Hard Rock is. Plus, they put 'Hey Joe' as the only song by Hendrix. No 'Fire' or 'Purple Haze'. I was surprised that no one put the Jonas Brothers on this list? The way things are going lately, you never know? Learn some history and figure out what Hard Rock is or use a different name for this "definitive list". 

By the way... Creed still sucks.

Review: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex in NYC

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has an Annex in NYC now. It opened up in December and it is located at 76 Mercer Street. We went there this past Saturday afternoon. OK, first things first... is it worth the ticket price? NO. I even had a special coupon that made the tickets $19.99 each (plus tax) instead of the usual $24.50. It is a small place and I did not like some of the memorabilia they displayed. Do we really need to see Elton John's sun glasses from a few years ago? Michael Jackson's gloves & jacket from Bad? Are those rock & roll artifacts? There were several good things about the museum, but for the size of the place the price does not add up.

The Annex does have a section that focuses on New York and the different genres that have blossomed here. There is a model of Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs with computers attached to so different musical landmarks throughout. When you select a location on the computer a corresponding light blinks to show you where in the city it took place. This was a very cool feature. They have multiple items from CBGB including the awning. Not the original awning because that was stolen in the 80's, but the one that was on when it closed it's doors. The Clash exhibit was very good. It featured a lot of various show posters and hand written lyrics. The Clash are one of my favorite bands and I felt like it was a good representation of their diversity and importance.

Overall, it was a good visit, but $24.50 for a small museum is not worth it. We went through the museum throughly in under 2 hours. I wish the Annex only focused on the tremendous influence and unparalleled importance this city has made on music history.

In other news Kim & I went to Lombardi's Pizza on Spring Street after museum and that was so worth the wait and money!

Best Show Ever?

Did anyone catch Rock of Love Bus last night? I did... holy shit! What is wrong people? First off Bret Michaels refers to himself as a rock star living the rock star life more than anyone ever! That is a good drinking game. Whenever someone says rock, drink. That is all he does. I rock, I live the rock star life, when I am not rocking, I rock. Be quiet already. We get it. You rock (not really). I understand without you telling me every 7 seconds. Also, lets be honest... how does this man still have genitalia that works? Seriously? I am convinced he has no hair. Those bandana's and hats have wigs attached to them. Plus, the women on this show are insane. Fake boobs and bleached blonde hair is a prerequisite I guess? I felt dirty just looking at some of these girls. The best part was that one train wreck put a test tube shot in the "private" area of another chick on the first day and they both got kicked off and neither understood why? Priceless. This show is so mindless and a calamity it is hysterical. It makes me feel better about myself. Thanks VH-1.

I don't understand all these rehab shows that are out now? The people on the show act surprised when they are criticized or yelled at. What did you think was going to happen? What the hell is that Confessions of a Teen Idol show all about? Why is he entire cast of Bay Watch on it? Do these guys really need help or do they want the money and the "attention" that comes with being on this show? Hmm, I wonder...

Finally... I got to give the Knicks some love. Awesome game last night. I got hope. They showed some life in the 4th quarter and kept up the momentum. David Lee and Wilson Chandler played great.
