Next coach

Maybe the bucks should hire Rich Rod as next coach, i mean bucks are undefeated with him as 'a' coach in 'the' game!! 

Got to laugh, its better than yelling or crying.

Over my dead body

Fuck all the nay sayers, they can never take my memories. Would not give last 10 yrs back for anyone. Go Bucks, i will always be a tressel fan!!

F-ing Bumper Stickers

A number of times I have discussed a shared disdain for bumper stickers with a couple of my more cultured friends (yes they are more cultured when they agree with me!!). But I have lessened my hate for the typical "my belief is ______ and your belief sucks!!", pissing Calvin on ______, or even vote for so and so in such and such year (never seen a Mondale 84', wish I would). Why? Because of my new bumper enemy; the go figure what this shit means on your own bumper sticker. What, was Kelly's Island to long to put on a bumper sticker? I mean if I saw an R2D2 sticker, I'd get the reference, but some soccer mom might wrecker her van trying to 'google it' on her blackberry. But the one I would pay to get rid of is - 13.1. For those of you who don't know, can't figure out, or have frankly to busy of a life to want to waste the time to find out; it is for people who run half marathons. Now I don't really like the 26.2 stickers for full marathoners, but at least they are 'closers' (a - always, b - be, c- closing)!! I mean, my fat arse needs some (some! ha made myself laugh there) more walking and running in my life, and I respect people that have the drive to get and stay in that kind of shape, but don't tell me about it on your car. One, your not running now - your depleting the planets natural resources just like me and two, nobody cares. Now the half way'ers, REALLY DON'T TELL ME about your lack of commitment. Whats next, a "Vegetarian, except sometimes chicken or fish if I need to be polite or just want some protein beyond peanuts and dates on Friday night" bumper sticker. Yeah I went there, that's why the adult content warning is there!! All this honestly because I missed a light on my statement run because of one of these morons!! You know what I'm going to have made? A bumper sticker like "7 I H 2 V" which means NOTHING just so I can waste someones time when they go home and "google it" and find nothing, they will always wonder what it meant. Then 3000 years from now, some one will find my car and wonder what was this in history and then maybe someone will speculate it was an ancient code to the Apocalypse etc etc tec... Or I will just calm down in an hour or so and go on with my day, till I curse a different ahole?

No, no, no, it did happen sort of...

So the crazy that brought us all the fun end of the world hype has some new really smart spin. Apparently, we were all "judged" on saturday and can do nothing in the next 5 months to change our fate. On oct 21st, the rapture will 'really' happen for sure and since our fate is sealed he will not be warning people anymore. Sooooo, the govt of heavan is as inefficient as other federal govt's? That's reassuring!! Even in heavan paper work and beuracratic redtape will be a nightmare, yay!!  Hell sounding better every day.

Are we there yet?

It’s 1pm 5/21/11 and the world is still spinning, sky is actually clear and the sun is out. Now it might be the last 5 hrs or so ever according to the nut I’m guessing most of you have heard about on the news, his bus adds, billboards and wherever else he has “spread the word”.  My favorite part of whenever some guy says he has figured out the math secretly encoded in the bible and _____________ will be the end of the world; is when sometime later (after they are wrong) they “recalculate” or “find their mistake” and now have the correct date and time! And they find people that are like, “man I felt foolish last time we were all on that hill and nothing happen, but I know he’d never let that happen again”.  If I had billions, I’d hire Lucas films and go to wherever these people will be at 6pm today and fake (you know with cgi and movie special effects/stunt men…) that it actually happened, but not take any of them. How freaked would they be, trying to figure out why and what just happened? On second thought, would maybe take like 5 or 6 of them, just so the others were really like “wtf, him really? Him? He forgets morning prayers like twice a week!” I know, I know, I’m evil and going to pay (maybe) but I can’t help myself, these people are asking to be made fun of.

Crazy people side note, there is a couple in Australia whom claim to be Jesus (the actual son of god) and Mary Magdalene come back to earth again to prepare us for the end of the world. I was unable to ascertain if they know about the guy predicting the end of the world today or if maybe they are working in conjunction? But here is the reason I take the sidebar to tell you about these two peeps, the article on yahoo about them had a priceless quote… “Australia’s Cult Awareness and Information Centre and the Anglican and Catholic churches are CONCERNED that the couple, relying on supporter donations to sustain themselves, APPEALS to the VULNERABLE”.  Ok, if like me you need a minute after laughing to catch your breath, take it here….

Really? I’m not sure where to start with this, umm why is it a cult when it’s new, but if its been around for thousands of years and has millions or billions of followers it becomes a religion? Can you imagine in the year 3100 the church of scientology is a well-respected member of the religious community? Wow!! Second, I hate when other English speaking countries spell Center – Centre!! And I’ll just skip to last to save time, does the Catholic church or any other large religious organization have side business that their people go to and work to generate money? I’ve never heard of Johnson, Miller, Horowitz and John Paul II accounting firm. Nice of them to be CONCERNED about the VULNERABLE, I’ll remember that if I’m ever fortunate enough to visit Vatican City to see all the beautiful buildings constructed from the money earned doing ahh umm errr well? Nevermind.

Well, little less than 5 hrs now till rapture, guess I’ll play with my dog now – spend some time with my wife when she gets home and make the best of this – our last – beautiful day on this crazy little planet. Too bad my brother planned dinner for 6:30, what kind of sick joke is he trying to pull, free brats and beer and watch the all-star race tonight – maybe play some cornhole? Like he doesn’t know the world is ending at 6, what a funny guy hahahaha. Well everyone’s invited to my place for breakfast tomorrow where I will be having door prize give away that will include flat screen tv’s, computers and my car. That’s right, you might win my civic. See ya then, maybe. Disclaimer – if end of the world doesn’t happen party is off, I’m not really crazy enough to give all my shit away!!

Just don't let them take a Helicopter home!!

This labor day weekend the concert event of maybe the last few decades will be taking place in Wisconsin? That's right, even a broken clock is right twice a day or every dog has his day or whatever metaphor you'd like, but Wisconsin is having the epic weekend that has been rumored for months as "the pearl jam festival". This week it was made official, given a proper title (PJ 20), and a set list that obviously includes the best band in the world closing out both nights!! Now you might think I would be there come hell or high water and usually you'd be correct, but this one I will have to miss. The cost is a slight factor, Wisconsin is definitely a factor, first football weekend is in play, but the main reason is I already have plans to go on vacation that weekend and the following week. FEAR NOT my friends, because fortunately for me and many others that can't make the journey to cheese country, there is a Cameron Crowe - Pearl Jam 20th anniversary movie coming out in the fall (oct?) relating the story that is PJ from Mookie to T.O.D. to PJ and maybe even to Eddie does ukulele?!(That's right, Eddie has a all ukulele album coming out in a few weeks) This I'm sure will be packaged with the full concert from one if not both nights!!

If any of you (doubtful knowing the few people that read this blog) have the means and desire to go, tickets will start at about 225 bucks per for the weekend (no one day tixs i believe) and the band lineup is on pj.com, but I can save you some time and tell you the only other bands you are likely to recognize are 'the strokes' (whom are a great band) and - holy 90's flashback - 'mudhoney'!! That's right for those of you with brain cells left to remember never quite made it hugh bands of the 90's, frickin mudhoney still is a band?! How bout that?

So in closing, if there is still a world to play to (more to come on end of world stuff tomorrow) and you are so inclined, go check out PJ in wisconsin, they are so great you will forget your in one of the 5 worst states we have!! If I win the lottery before then, I will be there with lots of my friends, then go on vacation.

PJ thought for today and well and day - Mike McCready is God!! "Make me cry..."
