This is not about sports not about anything other than pure Joy.
I am going to make a short story long because I can and it is needed.. Just to give you some background information my oldest son is an amazing kid that just so happens to have difficulty doing a lot of "normal" things but nothing ever dampers his spirit or his love of life(DD)..
DD has always loved playing sports and has always persuaded my wife and I to sign him up for sports even when we think it wouldn't be in his best interest. (This is my opinion and I am completely wrong on this but I always try to put my kids in situations where they can succeed and that will give them self confidence).. Well throughout those rules when you have a kid that can rise above the situation and he can determine what is "successful" and what give him self confidence.. DD has really been practicing for baseball this whole spring he is constantly asking me to pitch to him in the lawn and I can never refuse my kids when they want to play any sport. Well his improvement this year has been amazing he is able to hit a large percentage of balls pitched to him when it is just our family at home.. So he was really excited when baseball began.. In fact he was so excited about playing that he talked his good friend into playing with him even though he not played much Tball or baseball..
Well the season started and DD has not missed a practice or a game or his own practices in our front yard with or without his parents help.. DD was fortunate enough to have a coach that really understands what baseball at this age is all about.. Wow this is really getting too long but what the heck… Well DD has a had a Rondell White like stretch where he has struggled to make contact at all when he is pitched to in a game situation. But what makes this kids amazing (despite his poor parenting) is that when he strikes out for the third,fourth or fifth time in the game he gets a little frustrated right at the plate but before he can turn and face his team and his "home crowd". He smiles and hand his helmet to the next kid and give his teammates a high five.. So each at bat as the season progresses the people that come to the game keep cheering for DD louder and louder with nothing but positive comments and he always returns the cheers with his million dollar smile..
So Cut to last night
It is a beautiful night for baseball or just living life. DD is so happy that his Grandpa and Grandma are at the game that he can hardly contain his happiness while playing.. So on his second at bat he makes contact and fouls the ball off pretty good.. Before taking the next pitch he stops and wheels around to flash his smile that he had HIT the ball which in itself makes it worth the 2 hours we sit watching these practices and games night after night.. Well he strikes out but he feels great about making contact.. Well on his next at bat he makes contact Twice and we are rewarded with the same smile each time. Well he now has one pitch left to hit it in play and the crowd senses that DD might just be able to hit it so they begin to cheer louder than ever for him..( I am ready to pass out with worry for him and happiness for him at the same time) Well all his practice pays off when the next pitch his thrown mighty DD at the bat makes contact with the pitch and the ball is in play.. Well if the crowd could they would have collectively picked up DD and ran with him to first but they didn't need to he was determined to make it there himself.
Safe
He was safe at first having beat out the throw from the third basemen.. Well with two outs everyone was excited to have DD at first but also it was a close game and they needed his run to score. So each time one of DD's teammates hit the ball the crowd and team would ROAR run DD run and run he did.. He was safe at second he was safe at third.. And now he was next to the crowd and his team and they where screaming for him to score.. When the ball was hit I could do was yell SLIDE he really didn't need to but there is nothing better than sliding home.. Well DD was running as soon as the ball was hit I don't know if it was my excitement or what but all I could see was Teeth and Dust as he ran toward home and laid down a perfect (perfect in so many ways) slide.. DD was safe at HOME
JOY
The whole team rushed out to great him and pat him on the helmet and give him high fives returning all of his high fives that he has been giving all year round.. DD relished all the cheers and high fives and ran to see his family.. I thought I had done some pretty cool stuff in my sports career but nothing could hold a candle to what DD did this night. He gave everybody a reason to cheer not for winning or losing but for the joy of living life.. DD's coach came by shortly after DD and looked at me and DD's family and said what everybody was feeling.. That is why we are out here.. I thanked him as I choked up and tried not to take anything away from this moment that was DD's.. I said yes but really this was not about sports this was about one "not normal" flat out amazing kid..
Have a great 4th
Heavy OUT..

Cash Considerations
I am ashamed of myself
I Tivo'd the entire draft and watched the entire broadcast. I watched 4 hours in an hour but I still am not proud of myself.. Judging talent in the NBA draft must be incredibly difficult.. It seems that every announcer had a different opinion on who they would take.. If you are picking teams in a pickup game it is pretty easy.. You try and get a guy that makes your team better period.. You want a guy that wants to shoot and be the guy in the offense.. My lack of ability as a basketball player makes me appreciate that.. It is so much easier to get involved in the game if you have guys on the team that know when to shoot and pass and are consistent when they do it.. You know when player A gets the ball and he is open from 15-20 he is going to shoot and you can start positioning for the rebound it is just that simple.. If they really liked Randy Foye that was a hell of risk letting him fall and drafting someone to trade with for cash considerations.. Why don't they tell you the dollar amount.. I think the Wolves best second round pick they sold for 13 dollars.. Idiots they have a team with little to know talent and they take a guy and sell him for cash and another year of waiting for a 2nd rounder.. That just tells you how dumb McFail is.
As Twolves fan this thought kept going through my head. "The Twolves and Bucks have swapped picks" we got starbury and the Bucks got Ray Allen who the heck was ray allen.. Man was that a bad move for the Wolves where would be if we had kept Ray Allen man that hurts.. My other thought is I would rather that we didn't draft a player that is compared to a former Twolf guard.. He is a lot like Chauncey Billups.. Great next thing we will be saying that he has great feet like Felton Spencer.. He takes it to the hoop like Gerald glass.. He plays defense like Doug West.. He is a great athlete like Endi Ebe (Can't spell it don't care to talk about him).. I could go on and on.. He has arches like Michel Williams. He is tough inside like Rasho.. He drives to the basket like terrible brandon. (I still like the Wolves just don't know if I can take much more futility..
Gay
I really wanted Rudy Gay because of his afletic ability but apparently McFail knows more about hoop players than Jerry West.. You can say what you want about Portland but they are revamping there team and did what they had to get the players they wanted.. But hey I am sure KG loves the fact the Wolves got Cash Considerations. Can Cash Considerations drive to the hole make get a rebound or play defense.. Well that is it for the Wolves.. They got the player that is a great fit for their team.. That is like saying these pants are a great fit for me that doesn’t change the fact I have a huge ass..
Do you think Cash Considerations can play with his back to the basket or has a great NBA body..
THUD
They need to get rid of BS favorite guy THUD and play Jaric of the bench and try get a guy that can run the floor and score on the wing.(Rudy Gay). I think the Wolves could get Kmart for nothing.. Then we could have matching afletic players with bad knees at the 2 and 3.. Can Mauer play the point.. Wow what a franchise I love the Wolves and will always watch them but they need to gut the mgmt team and get a fresh start.. Ticket this will be your last year with the wolves.. It is not your fault that your GM failed your team and this state..
The Twins may not win this year or next but they are cheap organization that develops talent and has developed into a pretty consistent winner.. The pups could learn a lot from that..

Ok.. The clock is ticking
Large
If you have the stomach for this go here http://www.deathclock.com/ Not Good I should have dead been a few years ago.. So hey the rest of my life is gravy.. Ohh with a little KFC chicken in a bowl with some mashed potatoes.. Oh that is taken already.. I biked 12 miles last night in lycra bike pants.. I hope no one planned on eating dinner after they drove behind me for a second or so.. It wasn't pretty but it did ease the transition of my bike and me being fused together.. (yuck that makes me sick..)
It is time to talk sports (IJ please skip this section)
The wolves draft is tomorrow and I had to listen to the Mayor on the fan in hopes that he can help McFail draft somebody that is going to win games and keep KG here.. It was weird they have completely changed the thought from last year.. We need to get young and athletic to compete in the NBA today.. Now Hoiberg is saying they need to get older to provide leadership in the locker room..(How about someone that can rebound and play defense) They have a coach that does not know what type of team he wants to have and a GM that changes his mind as wind blows.. Ok enough negative stuff. I am hoping they trade this pick and move down in the draft and pick up a veteran and lower first round pick.. If we could someone like chauncey to come in and step up his play like he did with the pistons and then get lucky enough to find someone to compliment Kevin in the low block.. I think they could maybe build on somethingÂ… A quick rumor from my close personal friend SW
(Rashad McCants' micro-fracture surgery should mean the Wolves are looking for a swingman who can play sooner than later. They'd rather get their hands on Roy, but since all signs are pointing to him being gone, Gay makes sense here. I've received some interesting emails from "folks in the know" (or so they say) and word on the street is that Kevin Garnett may be traded for Jermaine O'Neal or Paul Pierce. Either of those deals would be so big that it's almost hard to imagine the teams involved actually working out a deal, but it could easily happen.
Garnett has been very quiet on his future, but if he goes to Kevin McHale and says he's done in Minnesota, McHale will be forced to act.
And if he stays, Gay should be a nice complement for KG and Ricky Davis.)
Why has nobody ever said that guy has a programmers body.. He can type with without looking at his hands and has an excellent right clicking abilities.. And he has great game when is head up on the monitor..
Books
Everything is Illuminating
Jonathan Safran Foer
This book is so odd, funny "illuminating",brilliant, and just a plain great read.. It makes me fill normal when I read a book like this.. This style that book is written is original (not tough when have read the number of books I have) but once you get it.. Its story telling that you just can't be beat..
Music
Norah Jones almost makes me not hate chick singers.. Maybe not I had to skip ahead on my pod half way through her album Feels like home.. I still hate chick singers..
Go Twins..

As the Stomach Turns
Kevin McFail
I really like that one.. I had a relaxing weekend watching the Twins beat the hapless Cubs.. I hope they never win anything it is the only thing that makes me want to like that team.. They are going nowhere on the other hand I think the twins have the new plan in place to play as many young guys as they can.. I am ok with it since Detroilet and the Sox are just so damn good.. I am going to quote a infamous Minnesota coach "enjoy the season" it is what it is… They are fun to watch..
Fat Update
I am still eating as healthy as I can and have slowed the growth of my gut to two inches a year.. Sort of like the melting of the glaciers caused by global warming .. My stomach is increasing due to global eating. (that was too easy).. I looked at myself in a few pictures this weekend and I really can't believe what I look like.. I went to look at myself in the mirror.. Yep I am really that old fat and bald.. Well that just a fact.. Moving on..
Just a point.. When you reach a period in your life when you would rather have a white T shirt on then see your self without it brushing your teeth in the morning.. Probably need to toss in a salad..
Wolves
They are team going nowhere looking forward to the draft where they are going nowhere fast.. I am delaying blogging on this since it makes me so damn angry.. They are in need of some vision on the vision of the franchise.. They need to keep Kevin to maintain there season ticket holders but really they are wasting his abilities here.. And really it is just hard to watch them flail around but I still will..
Don't hate the stomach hate the food
Two Movies
Nacho Libre 1.5 baldies (It was tough for him to work within the enviroment of this movie.. I am afraid Jack just can't play a character you keep wanting him to bust out and be himself. He didn't do that enough in this movie.. )
Click 3.5 baldies (IJ and saw this with no expectations what so ever.. It helped this movie it is just a really solild comedy and a nice simple story line that delivers the same old story but in a new and creative way.. I am starting to like sandler more and more each movie.. I really like spanglish and nobody liked that either.. I guess I just like his style..
I know this is half a homo but I am listening to Sarah Mclachlan and enjoying it but I keep think have rubbing sharp objects across my wrists.. Wow her voice is just so haunting.. Dan Bern is right I hate chick singers..

Bitter Today Welcome SW
Ahh just finished a cinnamon roll from panera bead (Not too sweat kinda crunchy with a nice layer of sugar on top) with a full city Columbia from Dun Bros(Nice middle of the road coffee with a real smooth aftertaste).. I eat because I'm unhappy I am unhappy because I eat you know the rest.. But I need to vent today.. My wife likes to ask me opinions on what things we should do with this house and then when I give my opinion she ignores me and does what she wants anyway..(Which I really don't care but why did you ask my opinion when you could care less. Anyway she decided that we should repaint my eldest's room to make it an older kids room and ignore the 4 other rooms in the house that really need painting.. Well if that didn't get me going the fact room contained a wallpaper border which I said I would not help with if she wanted to put it up.. (I ended up putting it up as well) But I absolutely would not be the one to take in down because I know what a nightmare that will be.. Well watching her struggle for two straight days I was persuaded to help her with it.. I won't get into to much detail but a steamer was rented and wasn't really used until 9:00(after playing hoops for two hours) last night and again at 6:00 this morning.. Now that my hands are sufficiently burned and I am quite bitter she believes the drywall is destroyed enough for me to begin patching the entire room where the wallpaper and scrapping has left holes on every square inch of the room.. MMM this will be the last time we put up any wallpaper (or at least until my wife thinks she likes it again).
I proved again last night that I do not have any Basketball ability.. I did not make a shot in 2 hours of play and maybe got a rebound a game.. I am the white round bald version of Olowakandi. Seriously I disgust myself.. I think I am going to have to start playing tennis or something that doesn't make me look completely old and non afletic that is going to be tough..
The Twins lost but the still played well. I think this team is going to be solid for a few years.. I hate to say this but Justing M. is starting to grow on me It is nice to have a couple of guys on the team where if you make a mistake the ball is gone..
I really need topics for my Thursday rant..
I think I will do a Twolves ramble this afternoon or Friday.. I am going to have to defer to a couple of great basketball minds.. BS and SW (Shoots better than the Wolves) "a close personal friend and former standout basketball player out of Hamline" Holler if you hate NBA but I am going to post a few articles of interest if BS and SW recommend them..
Hey that angry basketball guy that works for ESPN with his own show... Does he ever post the transcripts of the show.. He talked about KG for quite awhile last night.. Help me out BS or SW.
Don't hate the food hate the weight..

Dheavy and Uranus
Wow. What an amazing athlete Wade was in this playoffs.. It was amazing to watch him play its like he is in a category all to himself.. I could care less that he is supposed to be this really quiet down to earth guy because usually those guys end up coming off the bench and are really good shooters.. In short they can't play defense and better shoot well because that is only thing you do in basketball that is truly afletic..
Enough Sports.. Wait a minute.. Wow Djustin hit a bomb last night.. 8 in a row they still need a miracle..
Eclipse and Bruce
I wanted to get back to this.. Last week IJ and I went to see Bruce and the "Bob Seeger Sessions" more on that later. BS went with his wife and tried to distance himself from us at the show which normally is good move since IJ and I are standing together we create our own gravitational pull. Well anyway a few years when I was at West BS introduced me to some of Bruce's solo acoustic folk stuff. At first I was hesitant I have never really cared for the sound of the Estreet band just didn't appeal to me.. I might be the only person in the US that doesn't like it.. But I really liked all of his acoustic music.. Well anyway IJ was raving about this new album called the Seeger sessions which I can sum up as some folk guy in the 60's who made an album of some old American folk songs.. Well Bruce decided to do it again 40 some years later… It turns out the album is unusual as anything I have ever listened to.. It just a cool combination of brass,violin,guitar,accordion,steel guitar,etc. the music just gets to you on weird level.. It is one of my favorite albums of all time. So I figured I figure it was worth the 100 or so to see Bruce perform.. Well they are doing this weird ticketing stuff for people on the main floor to avoid the scalpers to make a long story longer no one knows what is going and you pretty wait for them to let you in and you make the best of the situation.. Well IJ are cagey veterans of standing concert's and we know the value of having anything to lean out so we took a spot on this rail where approx 20 rows back.. (Awesome view) Well we had to sit down until the concert started which gave us the opportunity to listen to this security guard that was protecting the gate.. He started telling everyone that sometimes bruce comes out Bob seeger before the concert starts and plays with his band.. It was killing the "true" fans around us which made it even better.. This guy stood there for 3 hours and came up with a different reason why these people where sitting where they where.. Man people are dumb but remember the two great planets where sitting on the ground when all these people where coming behind us.. Well we can hear the people behind remarking about how great this spot was.. I took this opportunity to yell out a series of stupid questions to further antagonize the crowd like who is opening for Bruce at this concert… Well Uranus(IJ) is taking this in and is pleased that most of them are under 5'6 and are unaware that we are as tall as we are wide. Well about 5 minutes before the concert begins IJ thinks it will be more dramatic if we rise in unison and block out any viewing angles from people behind us have let alone light from the stage.. I take joy in the sound that was made it was the sort of gulping sigh when they realized there night was destroyed.. Well anyway I now know why Bruce is so successful.. The concert sounded amazing it was 2.5 hours people who sounded amazing and gave the impression they where having a blast.. Bruce is a true performer and entertainer and I would happily see him again.. Maybe even with the Estreet band..
Ohh Man I just had a Bruegers bagel .. Everything bagel with chives and onion it was fresh and amazing.. Why can't that be good for me.. I still need some topics for Ramble Thursday..
Fat out..

I took this opportunity to yell out a series of stupid questions to further antagonize the crowd like who is opening for Bruce at this concert… Well Uranus(IJ) is taking this in and is pleased that most of them are under 5'6 and are unaware that we are as tall as we are wide. Well about 5 minutes before the concert begins IJ thinks it will be more dramatic if we rise in unison and block out any viewing angles from people behind us have let alone light from the stage.. I take joy in the sound that was made it was the sort of gulping sigh when they realized there night was destroyed.. Well anyway I now know why Bruce is so successful.. The concert sounded amazing it was 2.5 hours people who sounded amazing and gave the impression they where having a blast.. Bruce is a true performer and entertainer and I would happily see him again.. Maybe even with the Estreet band..
Ohh Man I just had a Bruegers bagel .. Everything bagel with chives and onion it was fresh and amazing.. Why can't that be good for me.. I still need some topics for Ramble Thursday..

M5 Life 01
Life..
Went out to Dinner with DJ (Denver J) and M5 on Saturday.. DJ has kids a lot younger than mine but is going through the struggles that all Dads have at that age but he appears to have a good handle on it but it brought back memories of the struggles I had to go through. M5 appears to be using the L word so he is boring me at the moment.. But we where recalling the day when he introduced me to a "girl" he was dating.. I think we will call her spud for reason that will become abundantly clear. She is what I would call a tall little person.. I am not kidding she was maybe 4'8 oh I am sorry when you are a women that is under 5'4 you need to used fractions so she was maybe 4'8 and 1/8.. It was just sad to see the look on DJ and my face trying to hide our disappointment.. Sure it was fun to think of umpa lumpas and wonder what kind of adult women's clothing she found in the toddler department.. Do they say petite by the way I guess petite stands for short.. So even though you can measures there arse in yards they are still considered petite.. I am thinking they could up with new classes like yes do you these pants in Short and Squatty or can I get this dress in tall but bloated.. Ohh That’s not good.. I maybe should stop.. How about Big and Disgusting.. Stop please add more if you have ideas in the comments section.
Sports
Hockey WHO CARES.. My son(4) asked me what I thought about Hockey I told him I hated it.. I think that sums it up.. He said why my response was simple I couldn't grow a mullet anymore I couldn't find any Dale Jr shirts that would fit me.. And I can spell Wednesday.. Wow I really don't like it.. Twins are on a hot streak.. I hope it ends so I can rip on them.. Thank the Mgmt for the off-season acquisitions nice way to kill a season.. See Ya Soon Rondell..
Hey I need a good topic for Thursday.. Give me anything and I will try and ramble about it

Great to be out of training..
Dad
Ok.. Need to ramble for a variety of reasons.. I had a great fathers gift my oldest was off to camp and I had never seen him so happy and excited. Given all the issues that he has to deal with a daily basis having him be that happy made me feel as good as I felt in a long time. (As a Dad that is good as it gets)
Baseball parent update..
I went to my oldest game and they needed someone to pitch to the kids so my wife volunteered me.. My wife doesn't take into consideration the fact that entire lower half of my body is a seething wound of poison ivy bubbles.. It really felt good to have a mixture of sweat and sand rubbing on the bubbles between my bubbled pussy toes.. A at least I made up for it by striking my son out 5 times..
Twins Sports Etc..
They are quite a roll I would like to rip on them but nothing really to say other than they are nice team that still won't make the playoffs.. Vikings I am still predicting them to fail this year (This coach is really arrogant) apparently a team that won like 5 games last year we are willing to make their practice squad players as starters on our team ( I believe we had a better record last year).. He is one of those guys that feels the need to get my guys in here and my system is going to work he has never been a head coach of a high school team.. Anyway as soon as they win two games I will be drinking the Kool Aid on the system and hoping for a contract extension for him.. Umm the twolves like Lenny Bird (Adam Morrison) I liken his game to Dwayne Wade.. I don't I just would like there to be one time where they compare a white player to a black guy.. Or vice versa..
I will rant more later

Sorry for the Training this week
Don't give up yet
By Mark Simon, ESPN Research Don't count the Twins out just yet in the American League. They may not be in the hunt for the AL Central, but they can hang in the wild-card race if they continue to get wins against quality foes like the Red Sox, who they've beaten the last two days.
The positive signs from young talent, like Jason Kubel and Francisco Liriano, are very encouraging. And if Brad Radke can show the form he did on Wednesday night, the Twins will have a top threesome in their pitching rotation that is pretty impressive.
One thing that Minnesota will have to improve upon, though, is an 8-18 mark against divisional foes. The Twins are a very respectable 20-15 against the rest of the American League.

So little time so much to ramble about..
I had lunch last week with another person that I will reference with this blog.. The other names where easy and descriptive. So here is my thinking on him with hmm lets just call 7/8 no can't use that anymore, No game no can't use that anymore, I drive a BMW no that is too generic when you.. No game.. crap can't use that anymore.. How about still on the market.. No can't use that.. How about slow game.. No that has been used.. I can't use anything that he might interpret as me being jealous so he drives an M5.. Hmm that is it we now have BS,IJ,M5.. By the way M5 gave me permission to post anything I would like to post about his life.. I live vicariously through him anyway.. But that needs much more time and needs to stand on its own..
People hate my sports but I am doing it for me so ff them anyway I always cave so I will keep them to minimum..
A quick real life crappy moment..
Was at my son's baseball game last night and the three coaches have concocted the idea that at age 8 you should be specializing on positions in baseball.. They do not rotate players throughout the game.. The basically put the three coaches sons in the infield and the kids that won't complain wherever they choose.. I could really care less but baseball sucks so bad at that age I can't fathom playing outfield for 2 straight games let alone 2 straight innings.. I don't normally do this but enough is enough so I waited to talk to the coach after the game.. I waited until the game was over (yeah they won but only 3 players ever touched the baseball not good) I talked to coach all by himself.. Well as soon as I walked up to talk to him he was already taken a back I am not sure why because other than I look a little scary.. I just asked why he was not rotating all the players like the rest of the entire league.. His first answer was that he rotates them each game.. Other than that was a complete lie I said are you going to play 15 games(they are not) Then he said well half of the kids will get hurt in the infield( nice cover).. Then he said there is another team that is doing it(whatever).. I said the goal of this league is to teach the kids and enjoy the games no one is going to learn by standing in the out field for 2 straight hours
(My kid never complained by the way he just is starting to hate playing baseball) After he said the part about half the kids would get hurt and his face turning red I decided to not make a scene and said that I would hope he would consider rotating the kids more frequently.. He waited until I was walking infront of all the parents and decided to yell out that maybe I should try coaching I responded that I had coached which seemed to fire him up more since he apparently wanted to make the situation worse. I went to pack up our stuff with my wife who was contemplating how we where going to separate our assets in the divorce.. He then walks over and tells me that there is only 13 players on the team.. I said you lost me when you decided to holler out infront of all those people.. I would rather not argue with you and he walked away.. So it should be a fun year of baseball..

Late Post..
The admin part of blogger was down yesterday this was the post from yesterday
Finally played softball last night since the hammy problem.. It was just great to do something afletic for a change.. We struggled as a team but where 1-1.. I don't like to beat a dead horse but man the twins are really disappointing there was sum pretty amazing stats in this whole road trip but the one from last night was sick.. The Twins had around 10 hits as a team but Mauer and Kubel accounted for 7..(That's not good).
This is just my thoughts but I really would like to see the Twins focus on developing talent.. Gardy decides to shred Morneau for a bad at bat (I don't know how he could distinguish the good from the bad with him) instead of focusing on the fact that they are getting NO veteran leadership whatsoever for the hitters.. Stewart a solid professional hitter can't seem to stay healthy and has 0 effect on our hitters and Rondell White they keep saying is a great clubhouse guy he better be.. Thats like saying that a girl has a great personality because if she doesn't well you get the picture.. (She would be a two tripper)
Please Post Comments for ramble tomorrow.. Thursday is going to readers blog day.. It would be great to do it on something that not sports related..

Perspective
If your looking for Humor please skip reading this post.
I am little off today.. Not because the Twins didn't play and not because Hoops wasn't on.. I just need to figure out a way get healthy which includes losing a ton of weight.. I know these sound like excuses but I am just not motivated to work out or eat less.. I really don't need a new diet other than eating less on every meal because I do eat the right stuff its just that I eat too much of it. I have so many things that I enjoy doing in my life I just hate taking time away from them to work out.. I am not one of those people that is motivated and wake up early in the morning and go running. When I run everything on my body hurts starting with my feet.. Which I think would be better if I wasn't so damn heavy.. I just think it is so sad that I really have to get healthy or I will die and I won't do it.. I laugh about it but really with my family history each day I stay this way I am cutting time off my life.. I know I come off as a negative pessimistic SOB but I really like living.
I am starting to have the same symptoms that my brother had when his health started to fail him (My wife has even noticed not good).. I wonder if I am destined for the same fate. I think that I am is worse, I know what can happen and I don't do anything about it. Why am I such an idiot.. I am really cutting my veins open here but I need to do everything I can to change who I unfortunatelyley I don't think I have an eating disorder I think it is case of loving to eat and when something is good more has to be better.. Well that is pretty depressing I am not sure why I post this or anything I post but I just feel better after I do.
If I don't figure out a way to change who I am I will die..

Two Movie Weekend
life is Good I was able to make some time to attend..
Wait a minute... I am listening to Dan Bern Seventy Three.. And I am laughing to myself.. That guy is insane.. He basically compares contact lenses to steroids it is as good as it gets in that if you do anything that enhances your self that is not natural it should not be allowed.. The man just loves Barry Bonds..
Ok back on subject I saw X-men Last standing. Just a popcorn movie if you can suspend your life for a few hours and enjoy the ride while drinking a cold diet coke and Popcorn with way too much salt on it thanks to IJ. Well the move had a ton of special effects that I really enjoyed and the story line was pretty cool.. (have you seen the Nacho Libre trailer he gets flipped by a bull and it looks like the worst special effects I have ever seen) The movie being what it is I give it 6 bald heads.(on a scale of 1 to 10 it is going to be tough to get close to a 10 with me)
Suz and I went out for dinner and movie on Saturday.. We have this little Mexican restaurant in RF that is really pretty good. After that we went to the Break Up... I can't stand seeing movies on a weekend I can't stand all the noise and having to sit next to anyone is the kiss of death for me enjoying a movie.(I Don't like People). In fact IJ and I sit one seat apart with the popcorn in the middle. I think sitting one seat apart makes us think we look less gay but we still look like a supersized Gay couple but whadya gonna do. Back to Movie.. Suz and I don't get to go out much so when I see movies with her I am always a little biased since we are usually having a fun evening and the movie is just part of it. (Make A note my first positive statement in this blog) Anyway the movie is a classic Date movie but I went anyway since I think Vince Vaughn is hilarious and Jennifer Anniston is not too bad too luck at.. The movie had some really fun Moments and I think anytime that Vince and Joe Favero are on the scene together I can't help but laugh.. I wouldn't rush out an see it but it a lot better than most of the mindless crap coming out in theaters lately.. I give it the same 6 bald heads..
I can't talk about the Twins today I am still mourning the loss of this season..

I am a Nowitzness
Don't hate the Playa
I am not sold on the whole Dirk is greatest thing since Larry Bird I have to compare him to a white because apparently that is important if you’re an nba analyst .. He still can't be defense hence the lack of a D in the nowitzness. He finally is playing a style of play that suits him and is surrounded by talent that compliments him. (I'm sure the Kandi man as real complimentary to KG) Speaking of the wolves remember how bad the wolves tried to retain Rasho and wow what a great player he has become with the coaching at the Spurs.. McHale is out of his mind on what it takes to build a franchise. If KG is such a versatile player he should get guys that play a wide open style and let KG adjust his style.. Considering that to his peers he is at best the 7th best forward in the league (Didn't make the all nba 3rd team).. Enough Bitterness
Dunn Bros coffe is tremendous mixed with a Breugers Denver Bagel sandwich.. (Priceless) Go Boof Go Boof looked pretty good last night just made a few mistakes for dingers see that is the difference with good teams if you make a mistake they take you deep.. The Twins either foul it straight back and shake there head that they should have hit that pitch or get a single.. But they "went with the pitch" Man I am sick of that.. It is like the West Coast reference in the NFL.. Why does rondell keep playing? Why is lew batting lead off? Why is Mauer not moving to 3rd base and hitting lead off.
Gotta see a movie soon.. The summer weather is great I hope I can stay off the DL to enjoy it..

Ok.. Another Day in Paradise
Riding the bus in today I had what I consider a catastrophe (Like skipping Lunch). Another bus in our area broke down and some 30 people had to get on my bus to ride into St. Paul.. (Apparently I own the bus) Well I have a lot of issues that are bus related but most of them revolve around me being the last person that people will sit by when they get on the bus.. There literally could be a guy covered in his own body fluids sitting in the seat behind me and people will chose to sit with him..(I think they figure at least he won't be spilling out of the "one person" seat and crowding me( It makes for an easy barometer on the bus you just look and see if anyone is sitting next to me and that determines if there are any seats left.(And this in the morning I don't even smell yet).. Well back to the full bus.. I am sitting there and the guy covered in his own fluids decides to plop down next to me (he even checked if there was another spot to sit). Well I am sitting there and suddenly I feel a little bug on me.. I know your thinking like I am sort of water buffalo that the birds live on his back but I generally don't have any organisms that are visible resting on my skin.. Than I start to notice they are hopping from him onto me and It is all I can do to not freak out on this guy.. So that is how I started my day..
Hoops
Flip lives another day.. I just don't think Detriolet cares about winning or losing anymore that just look tired and frustrated by Miami.. I am glad they won so I can watch them play another night but I think this is over when they go to Miami.. How old is Gary Payton man he looks terrible.. How come all the white guys in the nba have bad hair? Except Wally but he really doesn't count since he couldn't get a rebound in the WNBA..
Twins
Liriano just looks tough his ball has so much movement on it that he really can just throw his fastball and he can get hitters out.. Did anyone see Denny Hocking trying to get a job broadcasting.. I think a good start would be to be somewhat likable loose the platinum blonde look and lose 30 lbs..(I know how easy that can be). When are they going to move Mauer to 3rd? When is Byleven going to stop saying Paptisa?
Movies
I will start posting movie reviews when ever I can IJ out of the house again.

Riding the bus in today I had what I consider a catastrophe (Like skipping Lunch). Another bus in our area broke down and some 30 people had to get on my bus to ride into St. Paul.. (Apparently I own the bus) Well I have a lot of issues that are bus related but most of them revolve around me being the last person that people will sit by when they get on the bus.. There literally could be a guy covered in his own body fluids sitting in the seat behind me and people will chose to sit with him..(I think they figure at least he won't be spilling out of the "one person" seat and crowding me( It makes for an easy barometer on the bus you just look and see if anyone is sitting next to me and that determines if there are any seats left.(And this in the morning I don't even smell yet).. Well back to the full bus.. I am sitting there and the guy covered in his own fluids decides to plop down next to me (he even checked if there was another spot to sit). Well I am sitting there and suddenly I feel a little bug on me.. I know your thinking like I am sort of water buffalo that the birds live on his back but I generally don't have any organisms that are visible resting on my skin.. Than I start to notice they are hopping from him onto me and It is all I can do to not freak out on this guy.. So that is how I started my day..
