Prom Night Dumpster Baby...

Blink-182 To Present At The Grammys. I'm Officially At Half-Staff Right Now.

Image
I just peed myself . I just read that Blink-182 will be presenting at the Grammys. For those not in the know, this is a big fucking deal because of the fact that they haven't appeared together since 2004. After that, they went on "indefinite hiatus", and Mark and Tom stopped talking to each other as they created separate bands that didn't come close to measuring up to Blink. Back during Blink's heyday I was one of the bigger Blink-182 fans you could find. I had an entire wall in my room plastered with Blink posters and pictures (No Homo). I have all of their CD's. Yes, actual hard copy CD's. I mean, they are in my old room at my parents house somewhere, but god damn it, I have them... somewhere. This is basically me wishing for a reunion tour. I've seen almost all of my other favorite bands live now (at least the ones without dead members, and are within the realm of possibly seeing). AC/DC, Weezer, Dashboard Confessional, The Foo Fighters, Green Day, ...

What Is This Soc-cer You Speak Of?

Now, I don't like being that asshole, but here it goes... I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO. I have a very select number of friends who enjoy soccer, (It's because I live in America.) and these few lost souls really thought that David Beckham would make a difference in the American level of interest in soccer. I even heard some of the sportswriters that are allowed to yell on ESPN on a daily basis lauding Beckham as the second coming of Pele playing in America. (Remeber though, Pele only helped soccer out for a handful of years, then we went right back to not caring.) Well, all of these people were wrong. We still don't care about soccer as a nation, and Becks wants to head back over to Italy to play for AC Milan. He's tired of playing in what amounts to a minor league as far as soccer goes around the world. Let's face it, great players play in the EPL, Bundesliga, and the other leagues around Europe. I say just let Beckham go. He deserves to go play with people who are on his ...

Where's Your God Now, Kurt?

Seriously. I have never had any inkling of being religious, and after the Super Bowl Sunday night... I can't see why Kurt Warner will go back to church next Sunday. I sat waiting for a review on Mr. Warner's "fumble" with :05 left on the clock. It never came. Al Michaels tried to feed me some horseshit about how the officials confirmed the call on the field as the Steelers rushed on the field, kneeled on the ball and killed any dreams I had of trying to watch Kurt Warner lob a mircale at Larry Fitzgerald with zeroes on the game clock. So I say to you Kurt Warner... Where was your God when you "Fumbled"? You, Ken Whisenhunt, and I all know that was an incomplete pass. We all know that your team got jobbed by the refs on multiple occaisions, but the least that the Big Guy could've done for you is get a review on the play. Sorry, Kurt. You've been forsaken. It's probably because you went back on that whole "Hey kids, you get a new puppy if I ma...

The Buzzsaw That Is Leinart's Beer Bonging Skills...

Image
If tonight's game was an epic showdown of a back-up QB's ability to administer a beer bong. The line would look something like this. Matt Leinart (-21) vs. Byron Leftwich Unfortunately this isn't the case, and their is actually a football game to be played. Now, I will be rooting for The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals, and there are a few reasons. 1. Obviously, when your favorite team isn't involved and you don't have a major grudge against either team, you adopt the underdog. Adopting the favorite makes you boring and a doucher. 2. The Steelers have won 5 Super Bowls already. I don't want them to have 6. The reason for this is that I am a Dallas Cowboys fan, and my favorite dysfunctional family has also won 5 Super Bowls. I don't want the Steelers to break the menage-a-tie they have going with the Boys and 49ers for most Super Bowl wins of all time. It's not a big deal, but hey, not unlike the Globo Gym Purple Cobras...the Cowboys are better than...

Phelps Can't Stand A Bag Filled With Stems and Seeds

This is so fucking stupid. No, I'm not talking about the fact that Michael Phelps smokes weed. At this point I can't really condemn the kid for occasionally getting ripped out of season. The part of this that's retarded is the fact that this was treated as front page news. So the fuck what? Find me a 23 year old kid who attended school at a major university (or any 23 year old for that matter) who was never smoked weed once in his life and I will show you the fucking minority. Chances are that Phelps was just partying somewhere, was already a bit drunk and said "Fuck it, Let's Party." I would wager that Michael Phelps doesn't smoke all that often. When would he? He trains his ass off for about 10 months out of the year. It takes that much work to be the swimmer in the world. Conversely, since he is training relentlessly as much as he is, should't we let him cut loose every once in a while? It's not like he was caught shooting heroin into his arm or...
