Wow... If that's what they really plan on doing... It might actually be quite weird. Its like in 20 years, they'll make a movie about Pam Andersen and she'll have only a B cup. Yes... it is her story.. but its just not the same!!!
WHY!?!?!
Perhaps they will change it before the actual movie comes out?
As you all know... The weather since the beginning of the baseball season has been kind of "chili". Especially in the Midwest area. Infact it was snowing and sleeting for a few days. Apparenttly it was sooooooooo cold that the Cubs had to cancel a home game and the Indians had to go play in a dome in Milwaukee because of snow or cold weather.
So my question is... Why is it that a baseball game can't be played in cold weather? How is it that coldness will make the game unplayable?
1. Is it because the players will freeze to death standing there while waiting for a pop fly or a ground ball?
2. Is it because there are not heated benches in the dugout?
3. Is it because when its "sooo cold" that their gloves will not open and close properly?
4. Is it because the managers will slip on frozen tobacco chew spits on the floor?
5. Is it because it might hurt too much if someone attempts to slide on frozen ground?
6. Is it because all the overweight fat players might hibernate by accident due to coldness?
7. Is it because if there are snow on the floor that they won't be able to find the baseball?
8. Is it because the ball might crack since its frozen?
9. Is it because they don't serve hot cocoa in baseball stadiums?
10. Is it because they are simply watching out for the fans's well being ?
To me its all horse shit!! When was the last time you had to skip work because it was too cold outside or because it was snowing? If you had to goto work and I had to goto work. Why should these lazy-ass-overpaid-weakass baseball players get to stayhome or go play in doors? If you're getting millions, you better be able to play in a few snow flake infested weather!
If its lightning or severe storms... I can understand. But a few flakes and sub 40deg F doesn't justify not playing. They might as well call it Arena Baseball or just play in domes period.
AND don't get me started about rain delays!!!!! We'll save it for another time!!
This is SPARTA! If you haven't seen 300 the movie, then you are missing out. This is a GREAT film! The way that its filmed, the way the story is told, the way they glorify these "300" worriors. Its quite the feast for the eyes! My recommendation is that you find yourself a theatre that has digital projection technology. I didn't get to go see it on an IMAX screen, but I did consider it.
Baseball... How I Feel About It. We're a couple of weeks into the 2007 baseball season. You can hear the hoopla on tv, the radio, and the Internet all day long. Baseball is said to be the "Great American Past Time". That may be true once upon a time, but I don't think it is the case anymore.
Why is it that people get excited about a bunch of overpaid "athletes" that burns off as much calorie per game as I do after a long session on the shitter? Is baseball really that fun? Exciting? Intense?
Don't get me wrong... I have nothing against baseball itself. It can be fun to play when you are a kid. Maybe even as an adult. My problem is with the Pros or the "Major League". They've made this backyard game into the biggest loser-filled league in all of sports. Yes, I admit it take skills to pitch, hit, or field. However, it also takes skills to de-bone a chicken or to fillet a fish. My point is that baseball players doesn't do enough "athletic things" to be considered athletes. I've seen challengers on Iron Chef sweat more in 45 minutes than a basebally player ever will in 90 heat for the whole game!
For the remainder of the summer, I will be sharing my feelings on a consistant basis. You will get to experience my feelings towards baseball and what I think will make baseball something that even skeptics like me might want to watch. I will also be commenting on baseball headlines and news.
Finally, for all you fanatics out there. Feel free to comment on what I have to say. However, if I get things like "you suck!", "i'd bet you can never hit a major league pitch" or anything along that line. Save it. I will only entertain counter arguments that doesnt' require me to smack you over the head with a beef tongue.
High School Senior Performs Nuclear Fusion in Basement This kid bought parts from ebay and the hardware store and was able to achieve a nuclear fusion in his basement! Thinking back on it.. all we did in the basement on the weekends were watching tv and play video games. I guess that's why there is a story on this dude and not me.
RIP Larry Just heard the news that a friend from school had passes away. Didn't know the guy a whole lot.. but did hang with him for a little bit. Was a nice guy. Sorry to hear the bad news. I guess that's just the way thing are. Rest in Peace Larry.
Seattle Firsrt visit there just a week ago. I must say its a pretty nice place. Not very crowded, but yet not very scattered out. The weather is not bad.. though it does tend to be cloudy and drizzling at times. People seems nice and laid back.. Good clam chowder too! So if you have time, definitly go check it out.
Statistics: Took me about 1 day's work. It is acrylic on canvas. Size 30" x 40" x 1". Sides are painted. Protected with UV blocking varnish.
since this is "not really" my original idea.. i took alot of ideas from other paintings i saw... and whipped it together... its ok for a first piece.. maybe my creative juices will start to flow since i got this one under my belt!
A Dirty Shame... I dunno why I rented this movie... but I did. So what is it about? I dunno! I watched the first 20 minutes of it and fell asleep for the rest! The way I see it.. if you can actually fall asleep during a movie.. then it is not worth watching. For all I know the movie (starring Tracy Ullman) is about a bunch of sickass freaks running around sexually confused after suffering from accidental head traumas..
The way I see it... if one were to make a movie about sexually perverted freaks... one should employ hot looking chicks. Unfortunately in this film... the starring actress was Tracy Ullman.. It also starred Selma Blair with a set of 82FFFF boobies. Selma blair is ok.. but the huge boobs is kinda disgusting. Not to mention that it didn't even looked real.
Watched the NFL Europe World Bowl today.. It was the Amsterdam Admirals Vs the Berlin Thunders. I didn't know there are Japanese players on the Admirals! How cool is that! There are actually about 6 Japanese players in that league. From QBs to WRs... When can we see one of them in the NFL?
I got home last night... After a long day in hot and humid weather. Decided to relax a bit, grab a cold beverage and go out on the terrace and relax a bit.
With a cold drink in hand, I proceed to the patio door. When I pulled open the drapes... my jaw dropped!
A BIG ASS CRANE came up from no where!!! Looks like they are building some kinda midrise condo over yonder and it will block part of my alreay crappy "view" of the lake..
Oh well... I just didn't think it was gonna happen to me.. :(
Why it Sucks Going to the Gym between 5-7PM 1. Its too damn crowded. 2. Seems like people go during this time just to gawk. 3. All the muscle heads go during this time. 4. People moaning and groaning when lifting more than they can. 5. Everyone wearing sleevless shirts. 6. Too much funky-ass sweat on the equipment. 7. Smells. 8. The janitors/cleaning crew just has to vacuum during this time. 9. People wanting to "work in" with ya. 10. Parking is a bitch.
Love to Hate Shaq This whole Shaq and Kobe thing had me thinking... Who do I hate more? I think the answer is Kobe.. since he's an ass.
Its been great this NBA season as the Heat and Shaq kicked ass and might actually make it to the Finals. That just proves what a loser Kobe is and how he should say to himself (in however many languages that he can speak) that he is really nothing without Shaq.
On the other hand. If the Heat does make it to the Finals, I hope they get their asses whipped by San Antonio. I like Shaq when compared to Kobe. Shaq by himself... I'm not too fond of. If he wins the trophy again, we'll never hear the end of it. "I'm the greatest!", "I'm the shit!", "I'm superman!", blah blah blah... It'll never end. Since he's quite the arrogant son-of-a-bitch it'll be quite annoying to hear him brag constantly. Granted, he is pretty damn good.. but he's annoying.
Movie Review: Star Wars Episode III Went and checked this movie out this past weekend. I must say it was the better of the most recent 3. Although most of the actors in this movie can't seem to act if their life depended on it, I did find it enjoyable. Probably because of all the niffty special effects and action sequences.
If you've seen the other, then you musn't miss this one. For it made sense of the original three movie. It did a decent job tieing things together as it'll actually make you wanna go rent the originals.
It was quite interesting to see the audience's reaction whenever Yoda spoke. You can hear giggles from the audience over and over. I believe that is due to the Pepsi commercials that made fun of the way the Jedi Master spoke. Maybe they should of released those commercials a few weeks after the movie has been debuted.
Anyways.. I'm not gonna waste time telling u all what its about. Just go watch it. Also try to pay attention to the details. i.e. the set surroundings. They try to make a transition from the end of episode 3 to the original movie and you'll notice how all of a sudden hightech looking computer controls suddenly turned into pushbuttons and blinking lights! hahahahah.
