Over the past couple of years, I have become a big fan of Bill Simmons. He's better known as "the sports guy", a writer for ESPN's page two section of their website. One of my favorites is the sports guy ramblings. Of course I am no Bill Simmons, nor will I ever be. But there are defintely things I'd like to ramble about. So without further adieu... I present to you...
...Digressions from an SrSquared Mind...
What's going on with the way some people are writing these days? I feel like I time warped back into a 5th grade note I passed in social studies. I look at some away messages and profiles and all i see it this crap...."i LiVe fOr tHE nIGhTs I wON't ReMeMbEr wIt tHa fRiEnDzZz i WoN'T 4gEt." Seriously, what the hell is that? (I won't even get started on that lame ass quote. That belongs in the away message hall of shame.) But the lettering, come on. Pick either lower case or upper case, and stick with it. And the spelling? What's with these extra "z's" and shorthanding everything? It's lame. I'd expect that from a 12 year old. Come on, you're better than that.
Did anyone hear that the most recent Bachelor, Jesse "i'm an NFL player, i swear" Palmer and the (un) lucky lady he chose have already split? That brings the record of this show to 0-5. None of these relationships have lasted. Is anyone shocked? Yeah, I didn't think so. Maybe Jesse can get a spot on the next Apprentice, seeing that he probably won't have a job soon.
I am so tired of Michael Moore. I am all for freedom of speech, expression, etc. But someone really needs to shut this guy up. His obsession with George W. Bush is really frightening. He reminds me of a 10 year old on the playground trying to get the attention of a girl he likes. So he pulls her pig tails, he calls her names, says she's assosicated with the Bin Laden family. Okay, maybe not the last part. I'm getting that part confused with his new crappy movie. But yea, I think all this anger towards "W" is really just a big old crush. I think he might be in love. Kinda creepy Michael... kinda creepy.
I used to complain about the radio stations when I was living at home in Long Island, New York. But I never realized how good I had it until I moved to Connecticut. The music here sucks, and someone needs to do something about it. Radio 104 was the one thing this state had going for it and it managed to screw that up. I can't even listen to that crap that is KC 101. Hearing Hoobastank's "The Reason", Britney Spears' "Everytime" or Outkast's "Roses" over and over and over and over again isn't my idea of a good time. Can't someone do something about this? Can we call Tony Soprano? Can't he take care of this for all of us people with good music taste? KC 101 is horrendous. Someone please stop the madness.
Block parties in Hartford really aren't as good an idea as they seem.
A diner is always the answer to the end of a good or bad night. There is nothing cheese fries can't cure. Trust me.
Conan O'Brien has the best late night talk show on television, hands down. I'm a big Kimmel fan, and I think that show is great. But no one touches Conan.
What's with these skirts EVERY single girl is wearing right now? They are a cross between a tennis skirt and a Catholic school girls uniform. Sure you think it's cute, but is that really why you bought it? Or did you do it just to keep up with what every other female is wearing? Come on, get some originality.
The new MTV Real World/ Road Rules challenge has been announced to start filming this summer. It's another Battle of the Sexes Challenge. This should be pretty interesting. A lot of the cast members that have signed on to do it are regulars, which was disapointing to Road Rules Veronica because she was hoping for some new people to sleep with. Can't wait for this one to start.
I am no longer paying attention thunderstorm warnings. What's the point? They get you all excited about it, and then don't deliver. It's kinda like being a Mets fan. Ahhhh just another thing to digress upon....
But we'll save that one for another rainy day without the promised storm.
