So Barry is now the home run king. For some reason this really upsets a lot of people. Let’s face it. People aren’t morally upset that he juiced. They’re upset because he is an ass. Everyone knows that Sammy and Mark juiced too but no one cares. They are still beloved because they are nice guys. Hammerin Hank is revered because he is classy guy. Suck it up America. Barry juiced in the juiced era. So what!

By all indications yes. Recently I sent an email to my Congressmen explaining my situation concerning a visa application and bemoaning the inordinate amount of time it seems to take for no reason. The response I got had absolutely nothing to do with my request and only one of the four I wrote to responded at all. Every where I turn I see bureaucracy and waste. I know this really is nothing new but it seems to be ramped up to gargantuan proportions lately.

I sent this out to my guild and friends mailing list for WoW (World of Warcaft for those of you not in the MMORPG loop). They thought it was pretty funny so I decided to post it here.

“There is no cow level.” This is what Blizzard told me last night when I finally got to log into the game. You know, it’s bad enough that the game is crashing every 15 minutes and that it takes decades some times to actually log in and retrieve a character list but that fact that they just flat out lie to us in the game tips is irreprehensable. I know for a fact they are. I saw it last night with my own two eyes (and a tool tip). Let me explain.
When I finally got to retrieve my character list from Kargath and had not been assigned to a different, “less populated” realm, I figured I would run Grand down to Goldshire from Stormwind to turn in a quest I have had on the quest log books for 3 or 4 levels now. Thank goodness I was in Stormwind and not somewhere I could go AFK while waiting for the game to load and find out once the interface came up that some Ogre that got up on the wrong side of the cave had aggro’d on me and decided I would look nice as a trophy for the misses. So off I go and since I am level 30 I figure the heck with the road I’ll just run straight down through the trees. OK actually I avoided the trees but whatever. Any ways, I happen to pass a cow. Yes you heard me a real live (well as live as bits and pixels can be) cow. I remembered the hint as the games loaded. Actually it was sort of hard to forget since the screen was there so long. I believe there were 2 beer runs and a munchie break in the load screen time frame. So I see this cow and well the temptation was just too overwhelming and I moved my cursor to hover over the cow. The realization of that moment hit me like a Glowing Brightwood Staff and Grands faith has been severely shaken. As a matter of fact he is seriously considering becoming a Shaman now! (Froooossssst Shoooock!) I guess you can gather what I am getting at by now. “There is no cow level” is a lie. I saw it. The tool tip confirmed the cold hard facts. Cows are level 5. 🙂

I don’t get it. I just can’t figure out what the attraction of reality tv is. Why is someone else’s misfortune or stupidity funny. OK stupidity can be very funny but it doen’t change the fact that this stuff doesn’t do anything for me. It’s all of it too. Everything from Survivor to American Idol. It’s just dumb. And the vast majority of America just eats it up. Hmmm, maybe most of America is dumb. I take that back not dumb but uneducated.

Don’t take this wrong but I hate the Patriots. I thought the Bills and Jets were bad but these guys just get to me. I’m not really sure why either. Maybe it is because they make it look so easy. Just disgusting.

I hope this guy is as good as everyone says he is.! With the last couple of years as backdrop I am taking a very pesamistic attitude.

Are you kidding me. I have moved from embarressed to angry. How can you let Wanny go and not Spielman. You have your oppertunity and you let it pass. WHAT THE HELL IS WAYNE THINKING. Part of this debacle that is the 2004 Miami Dolphins is coaching but the bigger issue is personel. Not one player decision has been a good one, not one. I’m begging, please!

I officially have cut holes in the brown paper bag and firmly and securly placed it over my head for the remainder of the season. The worst part of this is that they are not a bad team. Stupid and undisciplined maybe but not bad. We saw what they are capable of against the Rams. It comes down to one thing and one thing only, Coaching. This team is too talented to play this poorly which means they must be unprepared and that is the coaching staffs fault. I like Wanny. I think he is a good guy and the players seam to like him. He just is not getting the job done. I think Wayne needs to clean hose and start over. All I can say is wait till next year.

I am a little late to this but decided to start this up to carve out my little slice of the blogging world.

There will be no discernable theme to this BLOG. I have many interests and will rant, rave and muse about everything and anything.

I could say a little about me but I think I will let the BLOG posts bring that out over time.

So welcome all and stop back often.
