I’d like to introduce my friend Angry Jack, who just started his own blog with his own brand of wit, wisdom, sarcasm and vitriol! And that’s just his “about me” page! Here’s your chance to get in on the ground floor of something really cool. Then when Angry Jack become famous, you can grouse about all the “n00bs” who are ruining it for you!
Careful, he bites.
Even though I don’t know all words to this song, I seem to have plenty of opportunity to learn them. This %$#@ song is everywhere! I hate it.
Something about her toes
I think she mentions her nose
Is is just me who knows
this song really blows?
I hate to sound like Andy Rooney, but…
If you read the comments to many online news stories these days, particularly those that pertain to Britney (do we even need to use her last name at this point?), most if not all the people responding will say some variant of “Who cares?”, “This is news why?”. Either that or “It’s all Bush’s fault”. You know these guys. These are the same ones that always post FIRST! in the comments section. For reasons known only to them, people will love to tell absolute strangers things that are NOT important to them. It used to be that web site operators (excuse me, bloggers) would write about things that at least they cared about. Now we have online news media writing about things that no one cares about, with everyone else commenting back about the depth of their apathy! For the amount of “not caring” going on, there certainly is a lot being written Much ado about nothing? Who knows.
I for one may not “care”, but I can at least have a passing curiosity. It’s getting bad with Brit. Really bad. Being committed to the psych ward is a step up from the usual 30 day “spa” treatment in Arizona.
Now, I’m nowhere near as committed (pun definitely intended) as the freak who’s “Leave Britney Alone” post on YouTube garnered over a million hits (editors note, Red Embers’ video is up to 263 views!, About 250 are from me), but man, maybe we need to give the poor woman a little space here? The stalkerazi are a big part of the problem. Didn’t they kill princess Diana? Has the outrage disappated? Unfortunately, the end users who create the demand are also part of the problem. I’m talking about those people who buy Star magazine and watch TMZ, even for “kitch value” (oh, didn’t I mention? I only watch TMZ because I’m post-post-ironic. I’m a hipster you see. I set trends). 
Sorry for the rambling, but I haven’t posted in a few days and I need to stop the bleeding.
It’s late an I’m tired, but I don’t like to go too long without posting something. I’m also not claiming to have my facts straight. But hey! I’m a blogger! I’m the “new face of journalism”… or whatever. 
Sooooooo….
Two things came out the week before the Super Bowl. Timing is rather suspicious. Some gold pro in Hawaii who aparantly worked for the New England Patriots claims to have a tape he made of the St. Louis Rams’ final walk through before Super Bowl XXXVI, thus creating the appearance that maybe Bellichick was taping other teams all along.
Now congress wants to talk to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about destroying the tapes New England made of the Jets. Arlen Specter from Pennsylvania, whom I’ve never liked, is the one leading the charge. Our tax dollars at work. Did I mention that Specter is also on the Board of Directors of Comcast? Did I mention Comcast is feuding with the NFL network? Why do I get the feeling that there was more going on against the Patriots than Brady’s ankle sprain?
Stay tuned….
You’re a moron.
Need more info? Let me clarify…
I don’t know if anyone’s coined this phrase yet, but allow me…
“When things are going your way, it’s best to just shut up.”
When your incredibly hot wife (who’s a model) gives you a birthday gift consisting of naked pictures of herself with her equally hot, equally naked female friend, the best thing to do is NOT freak out over it. Save your insecurities for the counseling sessions bro and just enjoy the gift.
For those who don’t know what I’m talking about. Former Peter Brady Christopher Knight has a reality show in VH1 with his incredibly hot wife. She’s a model. I forger her name.
Were the commercials. Still not as good as in years past, but better than the last 2 or 3 Super Bowls.
For me, there was no contest. The Coca-Cola ad.
So for all you BoormanBlog readers, have a Coke (ad) and a smile!
18-1 is nothing to sneeze at. Nobody did that this year. Not even the New York Giants. The New England Patriots are still the first dynasty of the 21st century. Anyone who disagrees can kiss my asterisk.
They are the best team this year. They are probably the best team in NFL history. The New York Giants only won because the Patriots got too many penalties. The Giants also faked a bunch of injuries to delay the game in the 4th quarter.
I will be cheering my heart out for my beloved Patriots. I urge you all to do the same.
Just finished alphabetizing several hundred of my CD’s this morning. So what do I do this afternoon? I go out and buy a CD. I’ve got to manage my projects better.
Anywho, I bought Ringo’s new album ‘Liverpool 8′. Suffice to say, if you like Ringo, you’ll like ‘Liverpool 8′. If you don’t, you won’t. ‘Liverpool 8′ is arguably Ringo’s strongest album in years. The title song (co-written with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, who also produces the album) is worth the price of admission. In the title song, Ringo sings to, and about, his old hometown, name dropping Rory Storm (his pre-Beatles bandmate) and of course, John, Paul and George. ‘Liverpool 8′ is Ringo’s most heartfelt song in years.
The rest of the album is more familiar territory, with most of the other songs co-written by Ringo’s songwriting partner, Mark Hudson. The closing track, however, is another nice surprise; a country flavored tune about pursuing spirituality ‘R U Ready’.
All in all, another strong album in a series of strong albums from the musician many call the luckiest in the world? Is Ringo the best drummer in the world? Was he even the best drummer in the Beatles? Who knows? Who cares? Even if luck got him into the Beatles, his talent and charm kept him there until the end, and earned him a solo career Don Henley could only dream of.
‘Liverpool 8′ is a strong buy for any music portfolio. Once again, Mr. Starkey has passed the audition.
Let’s say you’re at your jay oh bee. Your working at your desk, minding your own business, getting by, just doing the best you can. All of a sudden, one of your co-workers comes up and taps you on the shoulder and says “Come on, we’re walking out.”
“huh?”
“The strike is on. We’re walking out”
“What strike?”
“We took a vote.”
“Who did?”
“Us. Your representatives.”
“You represent me? I don’t remember anyone asking me about…”
“Hey, what’s your problem? We’re looking out for your interests here! So shut up and hold this sign. Come on, we’re gonna form a picket line out front.”
“What? I have an assignment to finish!”
“Not anymore. We’re on strike!”
“Well, you guys can strike if you want, but I got to go back and finish my..”
“Nope, sorry. We’re all on strike. This is closed shop, buddy.”
“Do we still get paid while we’re on strike?”
“What are you, nuts? Of course not.”
“But I’ve got a wife and kids, and a mortgage and utilities and student loans and…”
“Hey, what’s your problem? What’s with the attitude? Didn’t you hear me the first time? We’re looking out for you! We’re trying to get you a bigger piece of the pie”.
“Yeah, but while we’re on strike, aren’t we getting no pie at all?”
“You better knock it off if you know what’s good for you, boy”
And there’s your strike. Unfortunately, this is the unintended consequence of when an entire industry decides to shut down. The audience loses, the sponsors lose, the networks lose and most of the writers themselves lose. Most of these writers aren’t working on a ‘Friends’ or a ‘Seinfeld’, they toil anonymously in WB hell.
More on this later. Stay tuned.
