Homeless People Make Great Dancers

Well I'm feeling inspired. I hope you enjoy this...

The following I feel is supremely sweet...

Homeless men dancing for money. I'll try and paint a picture for you because the appearance of this man should not be understated. So the base image here should be a homeless man - by this I mean unshaved and generally dirty. His hair was untamed and upright and of course he spoke terrible English. Adam and I were in a white subaru outback on a typical city street at night in Baltimore. He approaches the car wearing navy ripped pants and a hoody three sizes too small. We gave him the no-go before he got close enough to car to ask and what happens next is the whole reason I'm writing. He approaches the car in front of us passenger side from the sidewalk. He sticks out his hand and drops his shoulder as he begins the dance. He does a shoulder shake, involves his head in rhythm, bends his knees and brings them apart. He then shakes his hips appropriately, flares one of his legs out sideways (Adam and I are slack-jawed watching at this point) and then sticks his arm out again for money revealing his toothless smile. We absolutely lost it. The only thing that kept me from throwing all my money out of the window as the light turned green was that I was paralyzed from laughing so hard.

This of course begs the question of whether or not it would be appropriate to ask homeless people to bust a move before giving them money. I think the word we decided on was, "terribly inappropriate."

Saying, "I reckon." Webster defines "reckon" - 1) to settle accounts 4) to accept something as certain. Just because hoosiers predominately say it doesn't mean we shouldn't. In fact, its more fun saying it with a southern accent when somebody asks you a question.
Hey man, want to go to the movies?
Yep, I reckon.
All I can say is try it and I reckon you'll enjoy it.

[As an aside] Whenever you hear hoosiers say, "I reckon that about settles it," tell them that they are being redundant .

Easily winning political arguments. You may wonder how I win all my arguments concerning politics. I'll let you in on a secret of mine. Whenever your friend begins to argue an especially liberal topic, respond by calling them comrade. Here's an example:
"And that's why labor unions are needed."
"Sure comrade."
Amazing huh. You automatically imply they are communist and if other people are around, they'll start to stare. Nobody likes to be considered communist so they'll immediately tone down their argument.

Lexus. The car can parallel park itself in between two giant champagne glass pyramids. Sick. You apparently can't get out of the car completely because you have to control the braking, but still I'm not going to hate on it. Just because the feature is simple doesn't mean it was easy to create. What makes this development sweet as well is that this is just a taste of what cars are becoming. I'll let your mind wander now.
Lexus also came out with the first hybrid SUV and lets face it, the SC430 is lush.

The Departed. If you haven't seen the movie I understand, but if you aren't planning on seeing it you're crazy. I won't spoil anything and I'll try not to over-hype it but the humor within the context of the movie is unprecedented. That, and it is so Scorsese. That is all.

Although not much has been lame lately, the following I feel is still pretty lame...

The Sun setting so early. Five o'clock and its dark outside. What makes this worse is two weeks before daylight savings I was complaining that the sun sets too early. I followed that by wrongly assuming daylight savings would correct this. Wrong - just the opposite actually.

Not returning my phone calls. This woman, Laura, was supposed to call me back to let me know whether or not I can buy her hoopty. She hasn't yet and I left her a message last night and still nothing. I'm calling again today - right now actually. I just finished calling.

I'm not ready to talk about:

The phone call I just made. Jay-Z and November 2nd.

A Small Seasoned Curlies

I've had a few one of a kind experiences this past week so I'll get right to it.

The following I feel is sweet...

Scamming The Korean Students Association. The honors go to www.pizza-cards.com. There is no need to click on that link, the website is currently "under construction," (and will be forever) but do notice the poorly worded sentences and basic grammar mistakes. The scam is pretty great. The KSA bought these magical pizza cards that apparently allow for a free medium pizza whenever a full price large pizza is bought. The only problem is that the cards are fake and Dominoes doesn't accept them. The KSA bought the cards online - from a different website of course - for 210 TJ Ducketts. I, and especially Kaz, tip our hats to this scam.

The Budweiser Ad-Campaign. Since I can remember Budweiser has been dominating TV commercials. Now they are even putting out gems on the radio. This one is my favorite. This one reminds me of Steven Cohen and this is simply hilarious. How about the Busch Light commercial as well: Two guys and two supermodel girls are riding ATV's in the backcountry of some amazing mountain range when they pull up to a scenic stream and crack open their Busch Light bottles. The girls look ready to party too. To somehow make it better, Blues Traveler's "The Mountains Win Again" is the soundtrack. I actually wanted to drink Busch Light at that moment.

I'm sitting here watching the Fox Pre-game show before a huge game four and the Fox pre-game crew leads me right into what I feel is lame...

Animated TV shows not named the Simpsons. Or the occasional South Park. How many animated shows have to completely flop before networks stop embarrassing themselves. Futurama tried to pave the way after the Simpsons - not so much. Not even close actually. Then there is the paradoxical Family Guy. Somehow Family Guy is sweet enough to obsess about when its out on DVD but not a single person will watch it when it shows four times a week on regular TV. I would love for people to stop saying Family Guy is "amazing" when they won't even watch the new comeback season premier. American Dad - I've seen one episode - the one after the superbowl, very pedestrian. I can't believe I'm going to actually acknowledge how bad Drawn Together is simply because its not even worth that. I haven't even seen a single episode, but I'm sure its the worst show on television. Somehow Freak Show is also on the list of television shows not cancelled yet. I'm getting so angry just thinking about how bad these shows are I'm done.

I'm not ready to talk about.

Rainouts and how they affect my plans. An unprecedented six game road trip during my November break.

I Almost Forgot

Gentlemanly Nature Consumes Me

What a series.

The following I feel if looked up in the dictionary, would be under alternate definitions of sweet...

Our Vernacular As We Accept It. I'll jump right into my example: I take you back to whatever day it was that the words "happy" and "gay" would have their respective meanings and connotations. They are synonyms of each other, but historically the connotation for the word "gay" has evolved to mean homosexual. But what if it was the other way around?


-I hate how girls like to go to happy bars.

-Its hard to hate Reggie Bush because he looks so gay when he's playing. You know, and if he's gay, I'm gay.

-That girl looked amazing! Skirts like that make me gay.

-Did you see her boyfriend?
-Ya I did. Man does he look happy. So happy in fact, that it makes me gay thinking about it.

-Phew, I'm so gay he turned out to be happy.

Feasting Like Kings. Eebs and Kaz have decided to make an elaborate meal. The theme is Jack Daniels and the starting lineup involves a Turkey, Sweet Potatoes, Stuffing, and Giblet Gravy et al. I tried not to attach myself too much to this because the letdown would be devastating if it fell through. Last I heard the food has been purchased and the feast is on. And that's what I think is sweet, feasting. Every now and then its good to live like an emperor. For some reason, whenever I think of feasting, I think of that scene in "The Sword in the Stone," where Sir Ector and his eldest son are eating whole chickens and turkeys and throwing the scraps to their dogs. Remember yet? He has to do the dishes after the feast, Merlin helps him out, then his dad and older brother come down and try to fight the dishes. Needless to say Eebs and Kaz, I look forward to the meal.

The 37 People Who Agreed With Me In Wyoming. These maps are always sweet.

"Pimp Juice," by Nelly. You know you want to put your feet on my rug. It's that simple. [15 minutes later] Oh my goodness gracious, I just found this video, point and case. <---- This makes me gay. Very, very gay. The following I feel can be described as lame...

Fat Pat is Dead!!! When did this happen? I'm so angry. I grew up in Houston for first grade through 8th grade and during that time I started liking rap. Before Bun B, Paul Wall, Lil Keke, Big Pokey and Mike Jones there was Fat Pat and his 25 lighters. I never did figure out what that means - and now I won't get to ask him. Take my word for it that he's dead, but if you absolutely need proof, Big Hawk in Clint Dempsey's terrible song is wearing a "RIP Fat Pat" t-shirt. Eebs showed me this video and now I'm twice as angry he did. I just think it's lame this will never happen again. Wow.

The White Noise in the Library. I'm listening to it right now. It's quite noticeable and it probably does the exact opposite of its intended purpose. I'm usually listening to music when I'm in the library anyway, but now I'm forced to. For the longest time I thought the speakers were experiencing some kind of insane interference, and then when I went to complain to the librarian that the problem hadn't been fixed she lied to me and claimed "white noise." Its so Johns Hopkins to treat us like animals and do this.


I'm not ready to talk about...

The Cardinals. He who will remain nameless (Starts with an E).

I'll Have What He's Having

What a weekend for everything St. Louis and Cardinals. The St. Louis Cardinals as you may have been watching learned the hard way that Josh Hancock is on the Mets payroll and apparently the normal laws of physics don't apply in the Edward Jones dome. It doesn't stop there though: The Arizona Cardinals imploded, this slightly annoys me, the Ball State Cardinals lost to Central Michigan, the Louisville Cardinals didn't even cover and the Lamar Cardinals are clearly the Lamar Cardinals. The only team St. Louis that won was the Blues - but they are actually terrible so it doesn't really help. The following I feel defines sweet...

Twenty on Twelve. I don't really know how to tell this story. If you read last week's post you may remember I was but hours away from accompanying John, Zach, Andrew and Eebs to Atlantic City. The trip turned out to be pretty boring. Here's why: I lost $150, Eebs lost 500, John 650, Zach 900, and Blumberg lost a stunning 1.1k. That's a lot of money. A nice fraction of the losings came from craps. The night of craps started with me. My first time rolling was dreadfully average but my second time around I actually lost everyone at the table upwards of 500 dollars. It was terrible. The only person who had a somewhat decent night rolling was John. Feeling pretty bad we decided to go play roulette. After about an hour or so at the table with a pleasant, encouraging Indian girl and her classy, articulate boyfriend, John grew bored and decided to put $100 on red. Needless to say he lost. Blumberg had seen enough. He decided he was going to make us all a lot of money by putting 20$ on the number 12 until it hit. He put 20 on twelve a grueling 35 times until finally he decided to cut his loses and walk away having lost 700 dollars. After that catastrophic display of gambling we all decided to leave. To make matters just a little bit worse the breakfast place we visited was out of steak and eggs and there was traffic on the way home (which there wasn't on the way up). What a disaster*.

*By the way, this could be a language barrier thing, but I just realized that instead of "lost" I apparently meant "won" and any synonyms of "terrible" should actually be synonyms of "amazing." I may have told the exact opposite story actually. Sorry for any confusion.

Chipotle. The place refuses to let me down. Black beans, half chicken half steak, corn salsa, a little bit of red, sour cream, cheese and a little bit of lettuce. That's what I tell the people. They like me.

Lately alot has been quite lame...

New York Rain. Biblical flooding must be occuring in New York City these days. At four o'clock on game day, this is four hours before the scheduled game time of 8 et (which is actually 8:45), I heard talks ofpostponingg the game because as the ESPN correspondent put it, "It is pouring." At 7:30 the game was ppd'd. Unbelievable - how does it rain that long. I'm no scientist....Actuallyy I kind of am - Every inch of rain is equivalent to 6 inches of snow. I checked this with some website that says 10, but instead of selling out and putting 6-10, I'm quite sure its 6, that site can screw itself. Anyway, it rained something like 6 inches in NYC.That's 36 inches of snow and absolute insanity.
I had my nightly plans and everything. The best part about baseball at 8 is that it ends at 1230. A nice time to go to out afterward if its a win and equally nice to go to sleep in the fetal position furious if they lose.

My Girl Does Not Have A Girlfriend. That probably doesn't make much sense. Either way, what I'm referring to is the fact that I did end up seeing that girl I said I wasn't going to ask out, and I didn't (this was 30 minutes ago). The one other time I actually grew the stones to do something like this it worked out amazing. It turned out terrible, but still. Granted she was at a big table of people when I saw her, but still, fack.

My So-called "Picks" Section. I did so poorly I'm sticking with it. Only because I need to prove to people I'm not a complete d-bag. In an ideal world you two readers out there would check this before making any wagers. Just so that you don't scroll down or check the spreads to see how poorly I did, I'll go ahead and tell you I went 2-7 and a 1-4 on my "specialty." Now that is a poorly told joke.

Mike Wilbon. He's sitting at a computer in the library right in front me. I'm not joking. I tried to explain to Altair who Mike Wilbon is just so that she can back me on this.

LimeWire's Glitch. So for some reason when I search for... anything on LimeWire the first two options are: "Affordable Music for .50 cents" and my personal favorite, "Looking for a Date: Call Me." Really. I didn't know Brooks and Dunn are looking for a date, and that I should call them. Fascinating.
I'm realizing right now this probably means I have a virus and at the least a tremendous amounts of SpyWare.

Haircuts. I need a haircut pretty badly. Nothing abnormal, but I'm conflicted because I'm thinking I may want to grow it out again. I received such a negative response last time I had it flowing that I don't know if I can take that kind of martyrdom again. I say martyrdom because Nick is doing the mane justice currently. I love it by the way, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. So what is actually lame you ask? People that hated on my unstyled, ungroomed, girl-like hair a year ago. You know who you are.

I'm not ready to talk about:

Comments that may or may not have been said with regards to Blumberg's hitting of 20 on 12.

New Section and My In General Hypocrisy

I've got a real treat for all of you two readers out there. I've added a new section.

My Picks(I'll attempt to never justify these by the way)
Over 36 Broncos/Raiders
Cardinals +10.5 vs Bears
Ravens -3 vs Panthers

As you can see the NFL isn't really my thing, NCAA is slightly more my specialty
Iowa -19.5 at Indiana
Florida -2 at Auburn
Louisville -25 vs Cincinnati
Miami -26 vs Fla Intl

More important than those shots in the dark is why the new section?
The Following I feel is sweet...

Cleaning up my life. As you may have heard me say numerous times, I'm trying to clean up my life. This entails drinking less, gambling less, and watching less sports**.
With this new free time I can do things like actually ask a girl out (see Barking section) and stop embarrassing the family name. How am I doing you ask? Well I haven't cut down on drinking per sae and although I have completely stopped gambling on Sportsbook I am leaving with my friends in three hours to Atlantic City. I haven't seen that girl yet I'm planning on asking out but I'm sure when I do, I won't. You see, we haven't exactly "spoken" to eachother. As Coldplay says, nobody said it was easy. I'm sorry I quoted Coldplay.

**Cardinals, Rams, Mizzou, Terps and Blues don't count. And keeping up with the Browns, Cavs, Zona and UConn because I'm a good friend doesn't count either.

Death Cab for Cutie. So far I have yet to download a bad song. I just recently acquired "Different Names for the Same Thing," and "You Will Be Loved," and both hit the spottie ottie dopalicious. I will admit that I have a tendency to obsess about songs that appeal to me, so I'll just leave you with that.

All SportsCenter Commercials. Seriously all of them. I challenge somebody to find one that isn't hilarious. I present to you the full version of the newest gem and an absolute personal favorite. And anybody who has ever heard me say, "never heard of him," I stole it from this.

Wow. The SportsCenter commercial search has shockingly led me into what
I feel is lame...

Youtube's Lack of SportsCenter Commercials. I couldn't find any of the LeBron James commercials, the Kenny Mayne home run calls, or the Dwayne Wade one either. I'm actually quite furious about this. Up until this point I had been YouTube's biggest fan. I am stunned. Granted I couldn't find those commercials on google either, but still. *If anybody finds the Kenny Mayne home run calls commercial, please link it on my comments section. (The one where he's trying different calls, "Its never iffy, if its griffey." "The simplicity of the game amuses him" et al.

My Posting This Section Literally an Hour Late. I was - swear on Belliard's life - going to type as my next section title, "People talking about the Rams." Then when I went to Espn.com to search for the commercials I couldn't find, Bill Simmons had an article essentially saying the exact same thing. Adam can back me up on this. After Chris Berman on Monday Night said, "nobody's talking about the Rams, who are 4-1" I immediately said, please don't, I want them to continue under the radar. Now, after a youtube let-down no less, I see Simmons has beaten me to it. I'm visibly distressed. You know what, this is going under

I'm Not Ready To Talk About

My late posting, The idea of losing money at AC (in t-minus 2 hours).

ps - After proof reading I've realized I hate all of my picks. This section could easily be short-lived.

Bring on the Metropolitans

Its been quite a week. I had, count 'em, three tests this past Monday all during an amazing makeshift fall break.

The following I feel is sweet...

Playoff Baseball. For now at least. I was outspoken about not watching baseball for a year if the Cardinals completed their historic collapse and although its unreliable to say this now, I was serious too. I am still a little worried that I'm fighting the inevitable though. Here is my beef - if I was so ready and emotionally committed to leaving baseball for a year, then will the Cardinals winning the World Series actually erase that? Will anything erase the sweep? Honestly, I don't think so. Although I'm still not saying that 100%, I am as close to believing it as I can imagine. As of right this instance though, I'm happy. I'm happy I can watch baseball every night if I choose and twice on some days. I'm happy that even after Carpenter walked in a run, I still believed he would get out of it. I'm happy Jimmy is hitting and so is Me Encarnacion. This leads me into my next subject that without a single doubt in my mind deserves its own section.

Ronnie Belliard. I loved Ronnie on the Indians the moment Adam introduced me to him and I have actually been following him fairly closely ever since. He is easily my favorite player on the Cardinals. Let me qualify that. I love appreciating everything he does. He plays on the outfield grass. He actually plays so far back for some hitters, its borderline disrespectful to the game. I love it. I love that I can tell when he's trying to go yard as well. 1st and 3rd, one out? What's that Ronnie? You just swung so hard you fell over, then when the camera zoomed in on your face you wore an expression that said, "I'm slightly annoyed at the notion of baseballs being thrown in my direction." Wherever you are Ronnie, I love you.

Touching Boobs - The Childhood Dream. I'm not trying to be lewd here so you can honestly keep reading. I was looking back on my childhood the other day with Adam and Jason and I realized something that was absolutely fascinating. I believe that around the 7th grade every male wants to touch them. The only problem was, as kids, what were we actually thinking we were going to do. Whether you are a guy or a girl, seriously stop right now and think what the plan was once you allowed or were allowed to accomplish such a goal. I mean, this feat had, and still has, its own "base." Thinking about that made me realize how insanely silly my childhood dream of touching boobs was. I am certainly not implying that it wasn't fun or completely appropriate, I just think things like that during childhood are amazing.

Would it make any sense now to stop at second? If anyone has heard their friend say, "Ya I made it to second. Phew, finally. I thought it was never going to happen." Absolutely not. Nowadays you don't stop at second, you get thrown out at second. The line reads, 1-3, single, CS. Its happened to me. That's right, not even that long ago. You know, whatev

Comedy Central Picking Up Scrubs. The show is great. Not only that, its perfect for Comedy Central. It started as one of those shows that was good, but clearly not ready for primetime on a big network as its audience is fairly specific. So it didn't work out on NBC or whatever network it was on originally but from what I've seen so far, it's working very well on Comedy Central. This leads me right into what

I feel is lame...

Comedy Central and Mad TV. Does anyone watch Mad TV??? Seriously, I've given it a fair chance, the show is just absolutely terrible. It's on Comedy Central for around... 16 hours a day too. What the myunk is up with that? Somebody needs to lose their job over this. How is Mad TV actually still being shown. Its probably as funny as Carlos Mencia.

Talks of Trading A-Rod/Firing Joe Torre. Have I gone crazy? Did I just read on Espn after the Yankees lost that Joe Torre was going to be fired? Well order appears to have restored itself somewhat today as the rumor has been lifted. Still, A-Rod trade rumors still fly. I'm not getting into the argument, I'm really not. All I know is that with so much hate in the air, Adam and I have decided to become the biggest Alex Rodriguez fans out there. Keep hating, we don't care, we love him. Not only that, we love him as much as you hate him. So the more you hate, the more we love.

I'm not ready to talk about...

So called "Tone" and his video taped escapades, Women's shirt sizes.

30 and Counting...

Well its half an hour before game time and I decided to try and update before the game actually started because if the Cards start losing I would have smashed my computer.

I've also decided to take Jim's advice. The following I feel is sweet...

Barking at good looking girls. Now I know this sounds ridiculous but what is the other alternative? Talking to them? Come on. Two girls at Tombs this past weekend were staring at John and I and when we asked them if they wanted to dance they said, "we don't know you." So that's true, they didn't know us, but that's what happens when you talk to good looking girls. I'm not saying I bark obnoxiously, but I wouldn't say its under my breath either. I just let my instincts take over because I needed something with more class than whistling.

Barking actually works well because it can vary. If you see a girl that you think is hot but are not sure, you can kind of sniff in her direction and wait till you get a better look. Or, if that same girl turned out to be butt, you can whimper and turn away. The system is near perfect, actually barking at women is the only flaw.

Songs that hit the spot. We all have those songs that hit the spot, the ones that get your head bobbing or really hit you and get you to rock out/have a moment. I'll throw some examples at you from different genres to better show what I mean.
Death Cab, "The Sound of Settling"
Death Cab, "Soul Meets Body" - if you're not rocking out after the 2:07 mark something may be wrong with you
Blues Traveler, "The Mountains Win Again" - 2:28 to 3:32 is a particularly great spot
Interpol, "Untitled"
Interpol, "NYC"
Nick Lachey, "Whats Left of Me"
Brad Paisley, "Mud on the Tires"
Young Dro feat TI, "My Girl" - the intro may be perfect for what the song is about
and last but not least Puff Daddy's "It's All About the Benjamins" - verse five

*the game started - my mood is now out of my hands, eckstein had a nice AB, Duncan struck out, the franchise is up, Peavy's pitches are doing the 23 skidoo

YouTube/Horrific Injuries. This was tough because [Pujols just struck out, f*&^ me] a comment my friend Nick made to me has been in my head. I was watching one of my favorite horrific leg injuries [Dave Roberts just got on] and Nick interrupted my hysterical laugher with, "you know, you're destined for a horrific sports injury laughing like that." [carpenter just got robbed on 0-2, I'm furious, that was a strike, this is ridiculous] Well if that's true then I'll never watch another video again because this arm break is particularly terrible (make sure your sound is up). I only included what I consider the worst leg and arm injuries. If you haven't clicked on those links yet I would actually [Molina has such a cannon, Giles didn't leave the box and got doubled up, nice] suggest that you not. You have to admit though [that wasn't even close, carpenter looks nice] that when the kick boxer tries to put weight back on his leg that he just folded over his opponents shin, that that is freaking hilarious.

So what has been bothering me lately? The following I feel is lame...
[Edmonds first pitch swinging/out, great job Jimmy]

Aim's Triton. The interface is whack and the lack of separate windows for conversing is disastrous. I have accidentally written something inappropriate on the wrong tab because I forgot to change several times - this didn't happen with separate windows. Plus now I have to involve the mouse whereas before I could just alt-tab. [Rolen, out, no surprise] [I just lined out, whatev]

Milk Expiring. If it weren't for milk [Piazza looked dumb, nice work carpenter] I wouldn't have to go to the supermarket every week. Cereal is so integral to my mornings [Belliard's got Branyan's liner... oh my god, Peavy has a blister says the announcers, this could be amazing, quick work for carpenter, I likes] that I can't really just phase out milk. Plus why does it have to get so disgusting when its expired. The smell is unnecessary. [Belliard single, I love him so much, Adam knows this]

I'm not ready to talk about...
The Fray, My car

Well I hope you enjoyed, I'm going to watch the rest of the game and depending on how things go, I could be updating sooner than later.

The Beginning

I stopped being able to resist. I was in my economics class today when I checked Jim's most recent update of his fantastic blog when I lost my composure. There is no denying that reading Jim's blog makes me happy, in fact, I've become so emotionally attached to it that when I check for updates and there are none, I get upset. So I'm in economics losing my composure and I decide that I should give this a shot in the hope that maybe one person can obsessively check my blog the way I do Jim's. So here's to you Jime:

I am pro...

Stealing Jim's format as well. Pro and anti is great. It gets right to the point and will keep me from rambling. See, I'm done already.

Fox NFL Network. For some reason unknown to me the game was televised in Baltimore. This made my day. I so rarely get to see Ram's games on TV that I almost forgot how bad Travis Fisher is at corner. I have no clue how networks go about deciding which games are on TV - I mean, I have an idea, rivalries and regional make sense - but I would like to thank Fox for showing the Rambos. Geez, I'm getting emotional about it still. Thanks.

I am anti...

Applying to medical schools. I'm actually just mad that I haven't finished yet, so I'm gonna work on it now, the blog was and hopefully will continue to be a nice distraction.

So I have to come up with something original:

I'm not ready to talk about...

Quite obviously these are the things I'm just not ready to write about for various reasons. The great part about this segment is that I usually won't talk or write about it for such a long time that it will probably become irrelevant.

The Cardinals, Keystone, Camelot and Van Persie's goal.
