How about a seven things I think I think? You want it, I want it, don't say no.
1. The Giants won the Super Bowl. Yes, the New York Giants. And no, the invincible Tom Brady wasn't hurt, nor were the entire New England Patriots team stricken with the flu or gang green, or whatever.
The Giants D played their faces off and won. Wow. That double miracle play when Eli Manning snuck away from the Pats D and then the reception by David Tyree. What the hell was that. Talk about a play for all ages. That was nuts. Congrats to the Giants. Boooooooo to Bill Bellichek, the grumpiest sucker this side of Walter Matheau. 2. The celebrity rehab show with Dr. Drew is the best thing on TV right now besides new LOST episodes. Well, and that Breaking Bad show, which seems to only air new episodes every other week? Thank god the writers are back! Finally we may get some new episodes of some of our favorite TV shows back.
I read we should get a few more episodes of the aforementioned LOST, however it may end up with a vastly different ending than initially planned. We should also get 4-5 new 30 Rock(honestly, Tracy Morgan needs to get back to work), Office, Chuck and Pushing Daisies, episodes. This is good news, because unless Eva Mendes and Kirsten Dunst joined Dr. Drew, that was about to get boring real quick. I mean, you can only watch China loose her shit so many times. 3. Smell that? It's grass and dirt on the baseball fields in Arizona and Florida. Spring Training has arrived. Pitcher and Catchers have reported this week and position players arrive next week. This is the best thing about February. Really! I cannot think of one other thing that could better this month. Valentines Day, Presidents Day, The ProBowl, Black History Month, nope. They got nothing on pitchers and catchers. The countdown for the first real game is about 45 days.
I cannot wait for this year to start. I have tix for the last and first game of this, the final year at the hallowed Yankee Stadium. Plus, I get to go to the All-Star game, the Home Run Derby and about a dozen other games. If it weren't for the catastrophic events that would happen personally and globally by hitting the fast forward button, it would be March 28th today. You can thank that horrible Adam Sandler movie for that! 4. Shin splints! I've never really had a problem with them before, but got em pretty bad this time around. So much that my mileage over the last 3 weeks has been 0, and the previous 2 weeks about 5 per week. Great!
The doc told me to stay off it for about another 2 weeks and spend a lot of money on orthotics, painkillers and some cortizone. Luckily, I've been fortunate enough to ride the stationary bike at the wonderful Chinatown YMCA, which may have the most intriguing grouping of patrons you could ever imagine. The shit I've seen has been ridiculous. Really! I'm constantly blown away by the wardrobe people have for the gym, and that's not even counting the people that parade around in their bathing suits(and sadly, by people I mean men too).5. I don't know if I've mentioned my disdain for a Mr. Stephen P. Jobs, but I will reiterate it here today.
Why, oh why did you make my iPod die the day before Christmas with one of your fancy "DEATH" updates? How convenient that it worked before I plugged it in for a "NEW" update? And then afterwards, it just happens to not work again, ever! It's a neat trick you played on me SPJ. I'll get you back some day. You cost me $200 smackers to get a new nano, which is actually pretty nice, but has horrible synching issues that are driving me nuts. And I love that I can't run it on my ibook since I'm still not even on Leopard with it(I guess kitty doesn't do it). You know who I'm blaming this on. I just hope that when I finally spring the $500 to get an iPhone, it doesn't meet the same fate. 6. All I'm going to say about this, is it's about time someone realized this no-talent assclown is really not all that good. Poor Stephen A. got canned from his job at the Philly Inquirer. Ha. Sadly for the US public, he is ready to resume his broadcasting career(which he is so great at) and ready to blog. HA. If anything his abrasive and warm personality should only be read, not seen on TV. Ugh! When will ESPN finally get rid of this clown.
7. Pedro Martinez, everybody's favorite crazy cockfighting Dominican nursing home bouncer is at it again. Giddy over Johan Santana joining the Mets, says he's like a glass of water on a hot day. Sexy.
Very, Very Sexy. And when he talked about how he dominated in the steroids era, saying, "I have a small frame and when I hurt all I could do was take a couple of Aleve or Advil, a cup of coffee and a little mango and an egg -- and let it go!"I'm just wondering where can I get some of that little mango and eggs. Cus that sucker was just lights out for about 6-7 years. I hated when the Yanks had to face him back then.
Listening Pile:
Been listening a lot to Working for a Nuclear Free City. The Manchester quartet's Businessmen & Ghosts drops a nostalgic view and huge nod to some of Manchester's finest, including early Roses and the Happy Mondays.
WFANFC create a drugged-out concoction of beat-laden soundscapes, dense bass grooves, and dreamy comedowns. Originally released in the UK in early ‘07 to critical acclaim, the new US version has been updated with a whole new album’s worth of songs, WFANFC has recorded since. Working For A Nuclear City began as a studio project involving Gary McClure and Phil Kay (keys/production). In 2004, they took to the stage, recruiting Phil's brother Jon on drums and Ed Hulme on bass.
