Here are some realizations I've come to since the last time you read my blog:
1) I don't want to manage you. I don't want to have to tell you to show up earlier, or work harder, or that the work you just turned in isn't adequate. I don't want to hear you complain about the big boss, or about the work, or about your unfulfilling life outside this place. I just want you to do your work and smile and be a pro and make a dick joke when the moment is right. Can you do that for me?
2) The Yankees are kind of suck. When I used to think about Joe Girardi, the image that popped into my head was his legs churning as he raced around 2nd base on his way to that huge triple in Game 6 of the 1996 World Series. Now I see him on the top step, arms folded, shades on, looking vaguely pissed off but incapable of doing anything about it. Plus, it's funny to think about all the money they sunk into this team -- Teixeira, Burnett, Sabathia, etc. -- and how it might not mean anything if Douch-rod can't come back effectively. And how when they made those moves they presumably were in the dark both about Douche-rod's injury and his steroid stuff. And if even 1/3 of the crap that's been written about Douche-rod is true, he's a boil on the ass of humanity and it is impossible to root for him to succeed. So I don't see how to pull for this team without sacrficing an even larger part of your soul than usual.
3) I have about the same percentage of my basketball skills left as Grant Hill has of his. Make that Christian Lattner. Make that Christian Welp. Whatever the case, I still love playing and I have a small amount of tasty treats left in my junkbag. Watch out for my sweeping hook.
4) We got a margarita machine at work. Fridays will be frozen margarita days. One work margarita is enough.
5) June 5. I gotta make it to June 5.
6) I was wrong about Pabst beer. My dad was wrong about Pabst beer. It is terrible. End of story.
7) The job I am in now, as hard as it has been, has given me a huge leg up when and if I ever apply for another job. I am 80 times better at this stuff than I was three years ago. I hope you believe me, future employer person.
8) It's better to go to your regular $15 haircut dude, even if it means waiting a week, than to try a new place because it's more convenient.
9) I skip all Clash songs when they come up on shuffle.
10) I will be in California this summer and I plan on doing two of the following three things: L.A., S.F., and Las Vegas.
11) The new Yankee Stadium looks like a minor league park on TV. But not in a cozy and homey way.
12) Twitter is utterly stupid. Facebook is just mostly stupid.
13) Fingernails, a cigarette's a lousy dinner.
14) We really are lucky to have jobs. Especially Ahmad Rashad.
15) My kid can (sort of) write her name.
16) Sports Illustrated is only good when you read it in the dentist's office.
17) I hate Jonathan Papelbon and K-Rod equally.
18) I desperately need a new book to read.
19) I would like to start watching some old flicks on TCM. I am particularly interested in old Paul Newman movies.
20) I haven't watched it in like four years, but I am pretty sure Lost is still a piece of shit.
21) The idea of Texas seceding worries me not at all. I encourage the stupid people of Texas to secede. Stop talking about it and do it. I won't miss you. Vermont, you go too, it'll be cute.
22) The chances that Albert Pujols is not on some kind of PED's are next to nothing and we need to stop celebrating him as if he is clean. I think he is probably a good human and a remarkable player, but he is on something. Something very effective.
23) Rod Strickland is under-represented on youtube.
24) This clip kills me (go 35 seconds in). Marion Ross is no joke.
25) Scanning, like faxing, is an idea that seemed remarkably modern and cool for about two years, and now seems painfully outdated and nearly pointless.
26) Players I dislike who are still active in the NBA playoffs:
Gasol
D. Fisher
Kobe
Farmar
Vujacic
Kenyon Martin
JR Smith
27) Players I really like who are stil active in the NBA playoffs:
Ray Allen
Pierce
Garnett (sort of active)
Rondo
Aaron Brooks (based solely on tonight's performance)
Yao
Battier
Turkoglu
28. Worst announcing in decades?
29. Let's all drink iced coffee Tuesday at 10:37 a.m.
30. It is time to start accepting HIATUS suggestions.
