Everyone loves you on Saturday night and wants nothing to do with you on Sunday. I should befriend a stripper.

You know that part in True Romance where James Gandolfini is beating the shit out of Patricia Arquette, trying to find the suitcase full of cocaine…

The best writing addresses you, the reader, as the author’s evil ex.

I met so many cool people tonight, it was great.
One guy told me a story about a salesman he met while he was on a business trip in Las Vegas. I have to share it with you because I don’t think he’d mind, he’s not a writer or a stand-up comedian, and I have no reason to believe he’s working on his memoirs with this anecdote as the centerpiece…
Anyway this salesman, my customer spoke of, was driving down the road and saw a huge buck. “I went back and got it,” he told my customer. Naturally, my customer thought the salesman had hit the deer.
Nope. He pulled over and shot it. Then hung it. Made his sales call… and came back for it because it was, reportedly, cold enough that the meat stayed fresh.
This same salesman also commented on how much he loves the huge drinks from Sonic because you can “top those fuckers off with rum and you’ll be goin for hours…”
Which led my customer to conclude, that the salesman “just drives around piss drunk with a loaded gun, shooting things on the side of the road… is this America??”
“Yes it is,” I said. “Yes it is.”

Should Ron Brown be fired?
I have no idea, only the University of Nebraska can make that decision, but I hope any decision they make won’t be entirely based on his comments at a city council meeting.
Ron Brown’s an idiot, that’s what I believe, based on his comments. However, I still believe very strongly in his right to be an idiot as a private citizen.
Too often, as media and social networking have made everything we say public record, ordinary citizens have had to face the possibility of having their entire life upended because they exercised their right to free speech on a political issue and said something the majority disagrees with, and a vocal minority STRONGLY disagrees with or finds deplorable.
We don’t know what to do about people we disagree with, especially those who use religion to support their bigotry. Exploiting the story and threatening their job seems to be the best route for silencing anyone with a minority opinion.
This was not “hate speech.” It was a dissenting opinion about the rights of gays and lesbians in this country. I think he’s stupid, based on his opinion. But he might be one hell of a good football coach.
These comments shouldn’t threaten the football program at Nebraska, especially if it’s clear Ron Brown can coach gay players without any interference (have to wait and see on that one). But if he’s a good football coach he shouldn’t be fired because he wants to speak his mind at a city council meeting.
We don’t want people like Ron Brown to keep their mouths shut out of fear, to be politically correct… to keep their jobs. We want them to keep talking, in the public arena, so we can keep talking… until they agree with us.

Created a new character in Champions Online. All my superheroes look very everyday (compared to the others I see in the game). This one’s called Pulp, he’s “unleashed” which means his powers are mostly built around dual swords, energy recovery, and he has some Jedi powers like force pull… travel power is athletics, which means increased run speed, jump, and does flips. Cool flips.

My only regret in life is that I have Mark Teixeira on the fucking no cut list while a Cub first baseman is AVAILABLE and absolutely crushing the ball!! God damn it.
Robinson Cano, and Jose Bautista are right next to Teixera in the line-up and I can’t cut any of them… and there’s no bench in this league. I could replace the three of them with Cubs right now and probably be in first place. SERIOUSLY!
Which means, if those three guys don’t start hitting the ball sometime in the next couple months, my season is going to be done.
Somehow, I’m still only 1 point out of first place… but it has to be the pitching staff, and Starlin Castro, Weiters, Beltran and Hamilton totally carrying the offense right now. Hunter Pence is starting to come to life, so that’s good.

When Rivera went down I picked up Ted Lily just before he pitched himself to his 4th straight victory, (the way the scoring is done in my league, I don’t need a closer really). I don’t understand how there are fantasy leagues where Lily’s still on the free agents list. He’s given up like 5 runs in his last 4 or 5 starts, total.
If you have an open (or should be open) spot on your fantasy team for a pitcher, look into getting Ted Lily.
