Presidents day

As far as Holidays go, Presidents day kind of mails it in. Sure government employees get it off, and Bank employees, and I think students do also. But even Hallmark has not been able to sell it as a holiday. Presidents day is sort of like Labor Day, in that its good if you get it off, but labor day kicks Presidents day's ass.
Labor day has more of the general population that gets it off, and plus it has the fine sense to associate itself with cookouts and stuff. Not that Labor Day is all that, Hallmark doesnt know what to do with this one either. I think those people over at HallMark are mailing it in also..why is everyone mailing it in and really what does it mean to "mail it in" ?
I will tell you about a fine holiday, INDEPENDENCE DAY. Thats a damn fine holiday right there. General workers like myself can get this one off, Plus you get cookouts, Fireworks and generally, its a lake and beach kind of holiday, and we all know what that means: Beautiful women in Bikinis.... which, I just happen to have a picture of Julie Henderson right here, so think of this kind of like a public service. (She would SO want me if she only knew me)
So, yes, I can take president's day and its silly little "white" sales or I can leave it. Its really kind of a sidekick holiday Its like the green Lantern of holidays. A super hero, sure, but as far as superhero's go you think of so many others before you get down to the green Lantern. Theres Superman, thats kind of like Christmas, and there is Batman, which is like Thanksgiving, Captain America is independence day, all the way down to the green lantern for presidents day, and dont get me started on "flag" day... Thats probably like Robin or something.

Anyway I had to work on Presidents day, Plus I didnt get any mail because of it, then it rained while I was downtown so now I think I am going to Finnegans on the river to have a few cocktails in honor of this fine holiday... and when I say "fine" holiday I am not being sarcastic, Just cause HallMark cant exploit it, and only bank employees and government workers get it off its still got more going for it then most "Mondays" so allthough I mock this holiday I still have a bit of respect for it, plus I can certainly appreciate my man George Washington and his leadership, and of course Teddy.

Good T.V.

Here is a sentence I would have never thought I would type. " I Like a serial Killer." At least he is a fictional serial killer. Because of the Writers strike, CBS apparently took a show from Showtime, Cleaned it up just a little, and aired it on regular T.V. Just an outstanding premise. A serial Killer that only kills killers? It airs at 10 pm on Sundays. It is just a flat out well written show. I strongly recommend watching it. In fact, I think I am going to see if I can rent the first two seasons (the ShowTime versions) It is in its Third season over there , and the Pilot on CBS from last night worked so well for me that I have to see if I can get caught up on it..

Goodbye Zach Thomas

Yesterday, on Valentines day no less, Miami Dolphin Management basically Fired ZACH THOMAS..its the end of an era. Zach will still probably play football next year, and for him it might not even be such a bad thing. My Man will probably go to a contender and compete for a championship. Good for him... its just so freaking sad that he wont be a Dolphin anymore. He is nothing like us, but he is also at the same time very similar. He is listed at 5'11" but he is probably actually 5'9" shorter then me. His game is about wanting it.... Thats a cliche, but the man was always in position. I once saw him thump Jerome Bettis and Bettis was a serious load. Zach makes you think you could have been like him, of course you know deep down you couldnt, The man is just flat out a FOOTBALL PLAYER and he is in no way soft. He works out and he studies and he did his job well and I loved watching him... anyways Robert Kraft will probably give him a job and he can replace SEAU or someone up there in NEW ENGLAND.... Its just the way life is, over time things change and people move on and you make the best of it.... I know that I certainly enjoyed watching Channing Crowder....

Its Valentines Day ... WHOOPEE!

So many Valentines days have come and gone, but this is the first one in at least 15 years in which I dont have a date... My Wife and I would almost always go and drop at least a 100 dollars on dinner at one of the finest restraunts in Gainesville. Now I am not in Gainesville, and I am not really with my wife, Our lawyers are working on making our seperation official.
-
Its a holiday that I always enjoyed because of the outstanding eating that went along with it. -- no flowers this time though, and the dinner tonight is microwavable. So instead of spending money on the flowers I will just download a picture of some Poppys in a field. So here are the poppys in a field, and here is a little history of valentines day I found from the History.com for you. Evidently, there was this priest, his name was Valentine, Mr. Valentine to you. He lived around the time this emperor of Rome named Claudius decided that single men made MUCH better Soldiers than those with wives, so being a king and all, he decreed men of military age were not allowed to marry.

-

Valentine was defiant though, and he continued to preside over the nuptials of military aged men .. It would be like if the guys who Gassed the jews during world war II because Hitler told them to do so, just said NO, this is NOT right...Valentine knew what the king decreed was wrong. It ended up bad for old Valentine though, he ended up going to prison, until they had time to kill him for disobeying the king.

-

While in Prison, he fell in love with the jailers daughter who would visit him, and before they executed him, he sent a love letter and signed it "from your valentine" So there you have it: as summary, 1) a dude defied a king, 2) I am eating Microwaveable food tonight 3) I used to eat really well on this day. and also 4) Nobody knows this for sure, but I think the jailers daughter was Angelina Jolie in a previous lifetime. Damn that woman is hot....

Transparent frogs inspire me

A see through frog? Thats right, this is a frog that has glass like skin. Some Japanese Scientists bred a frog that had see through skin so they could look at his guts without having to kill it! First of all a couple of things about that: 1) Its kind of cool that they could do that. Some Japanese dude woke up one day and said you know what would be kind of neat? a "See through frog" and then he went about the business of creating one. 2) If I would have had a "see through Frog" in my college biology class, maybe I could have done better then the "D" I received.... I really hated the lab stuff, and if you could just look at the internal organs and frog guts without cutting him open, maybe I could have done better? I am glad I live in a world where making Frogs transparent is something we are capable of doing. Now if you could make a person transparent, and then make his innards transparent as well you would have an "invisible" man ..... that invisible man could choose a transparent frog as a pet ....

SI's COVER MODEL

I love many things, and one of them is the swimsuit edition of SI. I was an SI subscriber for years and ALWAYS enjoyed this issue..... This is just one thing I love ... there are so many other things, but for now lets not get into all that and just enjoy Marisa, this years covergirl..... She probably wants me .....

Anxiety .

The anxiety level is code red right now. My Lawyer is busy earning her money in the divorce proceedings, My wife is in her TAKE TAKE TAKE mode, My job is not very fruitful at this point and my motivation is really low....I am clearly sitting on my couch, watching way to much T.V. --- I am working on my bat speed for the fastballs that are the single women around here ... I hope I can still hit...I am working on my attitude, trying to stay with it... sucking it up as they say.... Tomorrow will dawn and I will take my cuts again....

stuff you think you need

I sometimes think I need a beautiful woman in a pink bathing suit. I dont really NEED it, I mean I have gone my whole life without knowing this particular beautiful woman in a pink bathing suit and I am fine.... I am ok ...She really does have a nice bathing suit though....

Eli Manning

- David Letterman asked Eli Manning what he thought about Bill Bellichek leaving the field a little early, Eli said: " Maybe he was trying to beat traffic" Thats funny....

Super Bowl Sunday

Just some observations: 1) Did they really read the whole declaration of independence right before the game started? and 2) were those Chills I felt when Pat Tillman's wife did her part. 3) was that the greatest Superbowl of all time? and 4) Yes, Yes it was....

Downtown Miami

So here is a picture of my home. Technically it could be a picture of the Universe, or the Solar system or the World. You can also break it down to this level, or down to the building, or the apartment. Its a matter of perspective.
