Self inflicted pain

My glasses broke. Stepped on and crushed, I had to throw them away. It's been about 5 years since my last eye exam, so this at least forced me to do that. I was completely unaware of what a new pair would cost, but I didn't figure it would be that bad. Then my 3 year old daughter decided to break my wifes glasses in half. Excellent. I'm no rocket scientist, but I now realize that this is going to become quite expensive. I, because of hockey, decide that it would be better for me to get contacts, plus they are way cheaper. I spent a total of 30 minutes yesterday poking myself directly in the eyeball trying to put these damn things on. I can't think of too many things where I willingly put myself into direct pain. all I know is until I get used to them, there will be a lot of cursing coming from the bathroom

Dumbest Advertisement Idea

So I'm driving down the road the other day, enjoying the beginning of fall beauty, and I look up and see a small plane overhead. I notice that it has a sign behind it. This is cool I think to myself, there simply isn't enough creative advertisement out there, and I'm assuming its a special message to someone, and what a beautiful day for. I get closer to where the plane is flying overhead and I realize that this is the smallest damn sign I've ever seen. I, for the life of me, can't figure out what the hell is on there, the print is so small. Why the hell would you do that? I am thoroughly confused, and at the last second I see that the ad is for a local lasex surgery center. Are you kidding me??? Don't people that need lasex have a problem with their eyesight?? HELLO!!! good idea for the advertising, but you think maybe if your in need of lasex surgery you are gonna read that small little sign? My immediate thought is that if this guy can't figure out how bad of an idea it was to fly this little ass sign, do I really want him putting a laser into my eyeball?

Quote of the Week

Joe: With the exception of Eddie and myself, whom you already know, we're going to be using aliases on this job. Under no circumstances do I want any one of you to relate to each other by your Christian names, and I don't want any talk about yourself personally. That includes where you been, your wife's name, where you might've done time, or maybe a bank you robbed in St. Petersburg. All I want you guys to talk about, if you have to, is what you're going to do. That should do it. Here are your names - Mr. Brown, Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Blue, Mr. Orange, and Mr. Pink.
Mr. Pink: Why am I Mr. Pink?
Joe: 'Cause you're a faggot, alright?

Mr. Pink: How about if I'm Mr. Purple? That sounds good to me, I'll be Mr. Purple.
Joe: You're not Mr. Purple. Some guy on some other job is Mr. Purple. You're Mr. Pink!
Mr. White: Who cares what your name is?
Mr. Pink: Yeah that's easy for you to say, you're Mr. White, you have a cool sounding name. Alright look if it's no big deal to be Mr. Pink, do you wanna trade?

Beer of the Week

This is one of the last postings on Summer Beers for this year. Paper City Brewery is local out of Holyoke Ma. They have quite a few solid brews for year round enjoyment, and this is one of the best seasonal's. As many local beer enthusiasts note, Paper city prides itself on its consistency and ability to create flavorful but very drinkable beers. As much as I hate to see the summer beers go by the wayside, the benefit is the entrance of some good fall beers, my all time favorites, OKTOBERFEST!!!

Watch your ass

This is a message to all of you cyclists. You are not a fucking CAR!!!

Don't get me wrong, I am all for the preservation of the earth, and I know that riding a bike is healthy for you, and I enjoy riding myself, but use your god damn head when your on the road. I know and understand that we have to share the road as there is no where else for you to ride, but I am not about to get charged with vehicular homicide so you can lolly gag back and forth on the road enjoying the damn birds. In my car I am bigger than you and I have absolutely no frickin idea what your doing out there so don't start weaving or riding in the middle of the road. This also applies to the scooter riders as well.

Kick Ass Ska

I just heard these guys a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is wow. This is some good upbeat quality ska music, with some Latin influences. The best way to describe them is fun. When I hear there stuff, all I can think of is downtown New Orleans, which is funny being that they are Australian. if you have two minutes, take a listen, you tube them for some other music like Hello, or the chariot song. They are also a good live band with some good live performances.

Holy Fuckin Buchholz

Born August 14, 1984, Clay Buchholz is now only the 4 player to ever record a no hitter in one of his first two appearances. Buchholz threw 117 pitches tonight against the Baltimore Orioles in a 10 -0 shutout for the Bo Sox. I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I sure as hell respect athletic talent, and this kid is oozing it. His first start was pretty impressive two weeks ago, where he recorded a win and had a 2.19 era, but this is unreal. I've never played baseball before and for the most part, consider half the players a bunch of whiny little bitches, but a have a huge respect for pitchers and hard diving players that work hard every day. All in all, I have to say congrats to this kid and the Bo Sox better sign him to a long, lucrative contract very soon.
