Pirates...

My lack of new posts is solely because of my purcahse of a Xbox 360. I think there is not more explination there. My Pittsburgh Pirates started off hott this baseball season sweeping the Astros. Doesn't seem right they are 3-0 and the defending world champs are 0-3. I love it. First week of april nothing but snow, that sucks. I have had enough of winter god so let's go ahead and warm it up eh? An interesting story i saw on the news the other day i found amazing was, a woman was in the hospital in Texas and something went wrong and the doctor started yelling someone call 911. Are you kidding me? How would that make you feel when your at the place you usually go after you call 911. Good luck doctor trying to find a job. Anyways back to 360, stay warm.

Sad Day For The Heels'...

They day after losing a heartbreaker to the thugs of Georgetown, the Tarheels also lost the guy who was the Rameses. Jason Ray who was Rameses for 3 year's was scheduled to graduate in May with a major in business administration and a minor in religion. He was in New Jersey for the men's game between North Carolina and Southern California. Ray had been in critical condition at Hackensack University Medical Center since the accident Friday afternoon. He was hit from behind while walking on a highway shoulder near his Fort Lee hotel after going to a nearby convenience store. He was 21.

Hell With The NCAA...

I do not care about the NCAA tourney or for the car of tommorow. After a horrible day the only thing left that is good is well beer...

Biodome...

So me and my girlfriend spent the weekend in Montreal and went to the biodome. We went to a classy hotel and managed to rack up a $150 bar tab and impress a canadian bartender. I think this was an impressive task because Canadians are suppose to be able to drink with the best of them. The bartender says to my gf (in broken english french accent) "oh my god aren't you going to be sick," after ordering her 15th drink. Good stuff. Here is a couple pictures of our adventure through the Biodome. Enjoy. GO TARHEEEEELS.

Top Stories That Amaze Me...

Here is something that i'm sure would make any parent proud. How would you feel when your child just won the national conest for having the stinkiest shoe's? A 13-year-old Tooele girl has the nation's stinkiest sneakers, and her mother couldn't be happier. "I'm supportive and I'm so proud, even though she stinks," Paula Tuck said today of her daughter Katharine, who won the National Odor Eaters Stinky Rotton Sneaker Competition Monday in Montpelier, Vt.
Katharine Tuck, who walked in the Great Salt Lake to foul up a pair of light purple Nikes with a navy swoosh, bested six other winners of regional competitions to attain the national title. To top it off her brother won second place in the state competition, and is already working on a pair of shoes for next year. At least they aren't doing drugs, yet.

Another one is an autopsy is being performed on a women who was found nude and dead underneath an unconscious unfamiliar man in her apartment. When the woman failed to show up for work, a friend went to her apartment, got the manager to open the door and found her on the floor of the master bedroom, nude, with an unconscious man on top of her. I just don't even have a guess or an answer or even a smart ass comment for that. That is horrible.

Moving on, how would you like to be traveling on a plane and wake up and see a dead body being place in your row in first class? The body of a woman in her seventies, who died after the plane took off , was carried by cabin staff from economy to first class, where there was more space. Her body was propped up in a seat, using pillows. Probably something you don't see or hear of everyday. Not exactly sure what a procedure would be in that case. There are no law suites filed so good job to the flight crew for taking care of an awkward situation.

To top everything off how about the 4 year old that brings in some crack for show and tell. Not a little crack $10,000 worth of it. I am amazed in these days that the teacher actually reported it, and did not just take it and smoke it on lunch break or sell it. Also how does your kid take your huge stash of crack. When i grow up i can only hope to be as good of a parent as them. There was also another case of a 6 year old taking some crack from his mother's cup holder and bringing it into school. What a great world we live in. I'm Ron Burgundy stay classy San Diego.

Solar Powered...

In order for the Giants to save money and possibly get some positive attention they are going to go solar power. From what i hear the California utility Pacific Gas & Electric Co. will install a solar energy system at the San Francisco Giants' AT&T Park, believed to be the first solar power plant at a major league baseball park. The utility, a unit of San Francisco-based PG&E Corp., will place 590 solar panels at the park to produce 123 kilowatts of electricity, enough energy to light up a new scoreboard or power about 25 homes, PG&E said on Tuesday. The system will be ready in time for baseball's All-Star game on July 10 at AT&T Park. In order to pay balcobonds so much it has forced the Giants to apparently go solar powered.

Tiger is the man...

Tiger Woods is the most marketable athlete for North American audiences and will be for the next five years, according to a poll released here Monday. Woods, who arrives at Augusta National Golf Club in two weeks shooting for his 13th major title and fifth Masters crown, was a runaway winner in a poll of 65 sport business and media executives revealed on the Sports Business Daily's web site. In ranking active athletes, 69.2 percent of replies named Woods the top man with 55 percent predicting he will continue to hold that role in 2012. Woods' friend and fellow US sport icon, basketball legend Michael Jordan, was named the top retired athlete marketing draw by 73.8 percent of responses. Second in the active sports poll is Peyton Manning, then Lebron James, Derek Jeter, Dwayne Wade, Dale Jr, Tom Brady, Shaq. Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova was ninth and the only woman on the list with hockey's Sidney Corsby, basketball's Kobe Bryant and gridiron hero Brett Favre sharing 10th. Following Jordan on the list of retired pitchman heroes were baseball's Cal Ripken Jnr, basketball's Charles Barkley, golfer Jack Nicklaus seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and boxing icon Muhammad Ali. If i only i could of been Tiger Woods. He is the king of sports marketing while playing a sport many people play to relax and drink beer. God bless you Tiger.
