Cyclops is owning this week; hope he owns Data, then I can post about it :D! Squid and Clayborg's conversation was fucking hilarious! I hate flukeshit fuckheads like Bill Mueller...having a career year that's totally out of the norm. 980 OPS while his career mark is 790??? What??? Admittedly, his career OBP mark is good and he hits for average...but man no power at all. Well, I guess I'm only bitching cuz Clayborg is keeping it close this week and Mueller, on his team, hit 3 home runs in that one game (fluke shit). Still tho. Man. BILL MUELLER! Who the fuck is he? Granted, I do have Greg Myers on my team and he's been doing awesome for a platoon catcher and a guy who's never done anything close to what he's doing this year. Guess I shouldnd't complain :D. So I finally found the Red Beard theme. Had to get it from the self-styled "TV Theme King" (no joke, that's his MSN name and e-mail). He runs some website on old cartoons. Man. Put that shit up later. I must take a moment to give propz to P.Lo, he's more astute in dealing than I thought. Fool! You underestimated him! He's quite good and all differences aside, a worthy opponent. At least he's not afraid to make deals. Yes, I was crazy to pull that Zito deal, but I got what I needed I think. Or maybe I'm just trying to convince myself. Picking Harden off waivers and his subsequent emergence as a quality starter (hope it continues) allowed me to put Zito out for bait. Chavez is great but he's rotting on my bench anyways. Might regret it later but oh well. Halladay wins the Cy Young, called it here! Of course, like I said earlier, now that I jinxed him, he won't win. My problem with these things is I'm too youth-oriented like I said before. I've always been hitting-oriented, but I still draft/pick up hitters and pitchers who are decent. Problem is I never got any good vets. I totally shun them and that's probably my downfall. I mean some of these old guys still rock yo. But I'm always scared they'll wear down so I pass up a lotta solid, proven commodities to gamble on youth. Ah well. Star Trek: Generations was on tonight; why does that one suck so much? My 6-year old bro was watching with me and he asked who Data was. I was like, that's a robot. He's like, "Why's he laughing so much? It doesn't make sense! I'm like, you're right, it doesn't. "Robots don't laugh!" Hmm I can think of another robot who doesn't laugh. Monday, July 28, 2003
Collusion. Blacklisting. Antitrust. Especially blacklisting. Why blacklist an astute person just because they're more clever than you, or the average population in the given environment? We're not running the fucking National Do-Not-Call list here. Nor drafting a proposal for a National Do-Not-Spam list. It's bullshit. If someone were ripping someone off, they wouldn't have anyone to do business with would they? A smart businessman tries to make sure his client or the one he's dealing with gets his fair share too, or at least SEEMS to get his fair share. If you're stupid enough to get fleeced it's your own fault. No need for collusion or blacklisting. I don't see people saying, "Don't deal with Microsoft, they will rip you off, they are too powerful, they will buy you out, they will steal your market share, they will run you out of business, they will create antitrust issues, etc." I still see companies doing business with Microsoft. That's money in the bank. Would you ever tell a company, "Don't sign a lucrative contract with Microsoft, don't do business with them, even though it's money in your pocket?" I mean seriously, in business, you have to take risks. You gotta make your own decisions too. Consulting is fine, but don't be a slave. Slavery's the worst thing man, didn't you notice all the Orcs in this world rebelled against slavery? You don't see teams saying, "Oh my God don't trade with the Colorado Avalanche. They are too smart for you. They signed Kariya and Selanne for nothing. They will rip you off. Oh my God, oh my God! They traded Lindros and got Forsberg and have been able to win two Stanley Cups while Lindros busted for the Flyers. And oh my God, you can't trade with them, they are so smart that they stole Patrick Roy from the Habs. Thibault never blossomed for them and Roy won 2 Cups!!! They will kill you. They picked up Blake, Bourque, Fleury at the deadline in separate years. They will outsmart you!" Seriously, I don't see teams telling other teams that. That's pure faggotry. You can only be ripped off if you let yourself be ripped off. There's no Fundamental Law of Business that says, "Dealing with this person/business/instutition will always result in getting ripped off. It is a universal constant." No, I don't see this Law written nor established anywhere. J.P. Ricciardi is quite astute. He got rid of that loser Koch for a ROY winner. He dumped the heartless and expensive Shannon Stewart for a cheaper (and productive) Bobby Kielty. I guess no one should trade with the Jays then eh? Funny thing you know, Berard for Potvin was a great trade and a steal at the time (no one could predict Potvin rebounding or Berard's injury). But people continued to trade with the Leafs and Mike Smith too after he went to Chicago. Don't think anyone blacklisted them...anyways, like Councillor Hamann says, "No point Neo, old men like me don't bother with trying to make points." Sunday, July 27, 2003
Man, seriously, the Yahoo pools are always sooooo dry. No one ever responds or says anything foolish, funny, or entertaining 'cept CP, Claytron and I. And P.Lo too, gotta give him propz for defending. But dude, rest of the time, drier (dryer) than a gay man's anus that's been fucked 6 times over. Friday, July 25, 2003

Well it's a done deal, I'm about to part with two of my favourite players. Chavez and Zito are being shipped out for Varitek and Isringhausen. I'm overpaying, but it was a necessary move, as I've been playing minus a catcher most of the year and my top closer just got traded to another team to become a setup man (thus losing about 99% of his value). Clay you drive a hard bargain! But, I'd rather Clay have my players than some unknowns. Now the search is on to see who will take a 1B off me; I have a glut of 4 good ones: Sweeney, Thomas, Young and Sexson. Represent yo! That gay Chinese guy won on Fame.  Red Beard. I agree with G, Hermione is pure Lisa Simpson. Clay why won't you trade with me? You know you want Zito!
Left-tenant Norrington! Loo-tenant Norrington! Left-tenant! Left-tenant! I swear Viggo Mortensen looks so dorky in G. I. Jane with that silly mustache. And his dorky natural accent. Still, that was another unsung role in which he did some good work. I remember the first movie I saw him in was Crimson Tide. He was Lt. Weps and I remember I thought he was cool and feeling sorry for him, when the mutinous crew told him to launch the torpedo at the end of the movie, but Denzel Washington pointed a gun to his head and told him not to! I liked that movie. Man I saw that movie with G and Dan Waldner...seems like ages ago. Last Comic Standing was good tonight. I can't believe Hoc made it so far! I didn't like him at first; I thought he was weak. But seems everyone underestimated him. He's like an Eeyore I guess, gotta watch out or he flies in under the radar and rapes you! Hoc's material was good actually. Last week he really pulled his shit out to defeate Dave Mordal, who I thought would be a top 6 for sure. Then this week he went head-to-head with the Orc and beat him!!! Man his whole set was good, but the thing that really did it for me was the Mortal Kombat spoof. HAHAHAHA me and my brother couldn't stop laughing our asses off, as ex-MK experts. "Finish Him!" "Fatality!" "Hoc Nhan Wins!" Oops I mean, "Dat Phan Wins!" The problem with Dat's material though, is it's always the same thing - jokes about Asians or racial self-derision. But then again, there isn't much else he can do! That dude proselytizes way too much though, I mean come on it's just comedy! Here he's quoting the Dali Llama (sp?) and stuff and comparing it to stand-up comedy! He's nuts! Lyrics from the first MK movie (man what a song): Test your might! Test your might! Test your might! MORTAL KOMBAT!!! Fight! MORTAL KOMBAT!!! Test your might! Excellent! Kano! Liu Kang! Raiden! Johnny Cage! Scorpion! Sub-Zero! Sonja! MORTAL KOMBAT!!! Finish him! Excellent! MORTAL KOMBAT!!! If Raiden is an immortal god, then it's not really Mortal Kombat anymore, is it? Some dumb weepy bitch got voted off Paradise Hotel. I like Charla, she's so sneaky evil. She's cute and hot in that evil way. Damn what am I saying. Fool! Anyways, she was smart, to pick to room with the weirdo perv dude Dave yet again, since, no other chick would pick him, thus guaranteeing her another week at the hotel! Thunder and lightning have that mysterious quality, where it's both fascinating and terrifying at the same time. Interesting, veryyyyy interesting. PotC:CotBP brought back a lot of fond memories of a cartoon I really liked on Teletoon when it first came out (summer before I started at U of T I think). I'm not even sure if they play that cartoon anymore, but it was the shit. That cartoon was Red Beard. Man I loved that show, even tho it was so corny. It just made no sense though. In this cartoon, Red Beard was even more a hero than Jack Sparrow. He was like the Robin Hood of the seas and oceans. As the title song says, he "steals the gold from the ships of his Majesty, we will always be free." Huh? How'd they come to that conclusion? He steals and we're free? Man he didn't even give the money to the poor he's no Robin Hood! He had a son and then this chick who liked the son, then the token old guy on the ship, the token fat/drunk guy, and also the token black guy. It was a French cartoon. Not sure if they were French-Canadian or French-French. Still, the Euros, especially the French, have such weird cartoons...and they have a distinctive style to their art as well. Very prissy and gay. I think the same company also did the Quentin McCloud (McLeod?) cartoons as well. Anyways, I loved the Red Beard song, haven't been able to find it anywhere; it's gotta be the most obscure piece of shit ever. Here's what I remember: Oh-ay, oh-ay! Captain Red Beard, Has no fear, He's the greatest pirate! He steals the gold, From the ships of his Majesty; We will always be free! He stands alone on the bow, While the cannons roar like thunder. And when the battle is won, Every man on board surrenders. He never loses a fight, No one knows when he will strike! Oh-ay, oh-ay! Captain Red Beard, Has no fear, He's the greatest pirate! He steals the gold, From the ships of his Majesty; We will always be free! As you can see, Red Beard is a fearsome foe indeed! Tuesday, July 22, 2003
I guess I concede to Eeyore. Wells, at this point, is better than Hinske. I never doubted Wells, but his walk rate was a concern and I didn't think he'd emerge this fast. But seriously, what the fuck is wrong with Hinske? I mean it's been a while since his surgery and DL stint, he should be putting up something. Or is he gonna be another Ben Grieve, ROY flop? Actually you could do a lot worse than Grieve. Grieve's first 3 full years were decent. His problem was his stats were flat-lined; he seemed to have peaked already in his rookie or sophomore year. His walks, average, OBP, OPS, power all dipped slightly down or stayed the same. He put up OK numbers last year, but he's bust. And he hits into too many freaking DP's as I recall. Still like I said, you could do worse...you could be Marty Cordova or Bob Hamelin...but seriously Hinske do something or Howie Clark's gonna start looking better than you (actually, he already does, but really, a 62 AB sample size means nothing). Rich Harden looks pretty good. He seemed to have good command. Funny, reminds me a lot of Tim Hudson actually. Not as wiry though, but similar motion. Wells' bat speed is sick. Nice to see the Jays own the Yanks tonight. I still hate Tom Wilson, why's he gotta stand like such a gaylord? What's wrong with Chavez too? He never hit for great average, but he's slumping like a bitch. Power is still there but he can't hit anything else. Guess a lotta people are having off-years. Flash-in-the-pan-MVP Tejada is struggling too; maybe that's why Chavez is getting shit to hit. I never liked Tejada much. He doesn't walk for shit and can't hit for average. But he does have power and I recognize his offensive value as a SS. He seriously sucks though. Pat Burrell too, he's majorly busting. Read a recent SI about Billy Beane and the A's; interesting article. Talking about sabermetrics 'n such and some actual scenarios they had at draft time. Beane wanted some fat catcher kid who could mash but the scouts resisted, citing the fatness as the problem obviously. In the end tho, they took the kid. All that hype they gave Rocco Baldelli is crap too, the guy sucks. And I don't care if I can't even hit a softball, like LV says, we're not paid to play! I can say whatever shit I want about these guys. Prospect I'm waiting to watch out for though is Adrian Gonzalez. He looks like a solid player in the making. Saturday, July 19, 2003

Man, I'm disappointed in Kobe. Thought he was an upstanding guy. I mean, he's still a nice guy and classy, but now, with him admitting adultery, he's just lost his honour! Man down 3 or 4 notches in my eyes. Still give him the benefit of the doubt though, I don't think he did assault, I mean, he's a pretty hot guy and he makes $$$ so the chick must have gone for him and heard the cash register in her head! But seriously, Kobe man, adultery??? You're weak! If you had honour you'd resist hahaha. But hey who in the NBA hasn't committed it right? Or in real life even. Hehe. But see, at least Vince hasn't committed adultery. Oh wait he doesn't have a wife. Does that stiff even have a girlfriend? Must be gay.
Yeah, that's right boy. Richard Griffin you n***er, read that shit and weep then suck your own dick hahahaha.
Most reviews have How to Deal tagged as a lamer movie. And truly, it doesn't seem that compelling. But all the critics agree that Mandy Moore is the real deal; she's got a future in film, not just as a classy (non-stripping) popstar. I knew she'd make it. How could she not, after a wonderful performance in A Walk to Remember? She may be young and "poppish" but she's no skank and she's classy. She's cute to boot and she has this charm, this fresh candour that you just can't help admiring. She really seems to put people at ease. Hope her film career takes off after this!

Dude, Clay, I must disagree yet again! As big a flop as it was, I liked The Beach! Leo DiCrapio, as crappy a heartthrob he is, is a great actor, I always love his work. Plus, even if you don't like the movie, you get to see that French chick naked  .We all like to comment on baseball, but the best work I've seen so far is Aaron's Baseball Blog. This guy knows what he's talkin' about! He deserves to get some sort of journalistic job in baseball, or sports at the least. His work is very good. He is however, pure hardcore nut. In regards to our discussions contemplating heroes and arch-rivals, it's a very comic bookish scenario isn't it? Like Wolverine vs. Sabretooth. It's not whoever, like Son Gokou vs. Vegeta, cuz the hate is not reciprocated. We know Wolvie and Sabretooth have mutual hatred, so it's analogous to the discussion. But there's also the aspect brought up about (damn I know there's a quote for this) how people tend to hate each other when they are too close, or too similar, or see each other too often. Familiarity breeds contempt? No that's not it. You know, like Yin-Yang shit, only not complimentary. Man I'm digressing looking for this damn quote. But it's true, the more alike or close you are, the more you may come to despise them. I wonder what the psychological "analysis" for that is...cuz u hate urself? Or cuz you love urself so much you hate seeing someone rip your styles? Probably both, cuz I know, for me anyways, sometimes I hate myself, but sometimes I hate when people copy me (ex. Eeyore trying to copy my dribbling technique GRRRRRRR). Back the point at hand. Really, they are two sides of the same coin. Like compare and contrast essays in high school. Same but different. Neo and Agent Smith. Like Caramon and Raistlin. How could they be twins? Alike in voice and appearance. Yet one so dumb, the other so smart. One strong as an ox, the other almost a frail invalid. One a warrior, the other a mage. One an avatar of good, the other the pinnacle of evil (though, if you've read the series, Raistlin is not evil per se; he hates everyone, good or evil, he just does everything for himself, I mean come on, he tried to become a god, and plus, he really redeems himself over and over after his "death"). But brothers. So you should love each other. Ok I'm getting off topic again. Anyways, hard to tell if these dudes are more "two sides of same coin" or truly "arch-enemies". I'd definitely but on the heel tho, in any fight, cuz heels always win! I still can't find that damn quote. RAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I HATEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Unicron, why did you torture me??!!! AHHHHHHHH. DIE DIE DIE!!!! Musssssst havvvvvve the precccccioussssss. "Edmund! Why are you doing this?" "It's...complicated...let's just call it...vengeance! FOR THE LIFE YOU STOLE FROM ME!!!" "How did you EVER call yourself my friend? You sent me to HELL!" Hope is the denial of reality! FUCK YOU!!!! I hate that dude so much. MAN. MAN. MAN. GRRRRRARRRR I'll rip out your optics!!!! "Why ask for truth, if you close your ears to it?" I loved you!!!!! Why did you leeeeaaaaveeeee meeeeeee?????? I love you, you love me, we are one big happy family! KILL BARNEY! Why don't girls like me????????? Why do girls date jerks???? HAHAHAHAHA. I will drink myself into a stupor, and never arise again! Bring your pretty face to my axe! Crunch. Hatred is bad. Soy is good. Change yourself, before you change others. Women are such $#@%#!%#%#!%#%#%!#**#$#$ I hate them all! I will become homophobe. I mean homosexual. What nigga? You crazy??? This must be what they call an informal essay. Actually I never been drunk, is it fun? Is it fun as scratching the itch under ur balls? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. One thing is, even though we are young, we should never take life for granted. We have health and wealth and youth, but don't let your guard down! This is a sincere plea to friends and family alike, take care of your body, your mind, your spirit/soul. Death, disease, suffering may come at anytime. We are young and think ourselves invincible, but we are not. I am not patronizing, I am speaking from experience. Take care! Work on yourself emotionally. And physically too. Don't let your body go. Don't overeat or drink or smoke. Eat healthy. And WORK OUT! It is very important to work out! You don't have to be hardcore and go to gym all the time...take a fucking walk or a hike, ride your bike, skip rope. Heck, just stretch a few minutes a day. Seriously, doesn't take that much effort. Just a few minutes of your time, I mean, you take a few minutes to jack off anyways, so why not use it to some good?????????????? Or just play sports with friends. MAN MAN MAN MAN MAN. Letting yourself go is the worst thing you can do, both physically and mentally. MUST ALWAYS FIGHT! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT HAHAHAHA!!! Shake shake shake! Shake your bootay, shake your bootay! Pirates was so good. Sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes something something by Dan Hill right I've been alone with you inside my mind And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times I sometimes see you pass outside my door Hello? Is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes I can see it in your smile You're I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide Cuz u know just what to say and u know just what to do And I want to tell you so much I love you Man wicked song, Lionel Richie! You are da man! But I must say, my dear sir, I still hate humanity, despite your unrequited love. Can't....let....go....must...destroy....I... AM...A...MACHINE!!!!!!! AHHHHHH Arnold goes into endless loop to destroy car to save John Connor. while(1) { bashcar(); yell("ARRRRR"); } // end while John Connor you bitter bitter man. Doesn't it suck you're stuck as the Resistance Leader? HAHAHAHAHA. Like Walker Boh, he's such a fucking hurtbag. He HATED the Druids, and yet in the end, he was forced to become one. As the one-eyed pirate says, "Ain't that ironic?" HAHAHAHA bitterness. Man and to top it off, he lost his fucking arm! What a loser. And later, down the road, he actually starts to accept his role. So his one dream is to rebuild the Council of Druids. But guess what? He gets killed before he can! Man you gotta feel for the guy. But u know what nigga? Walker Boh kept going. His final act/death was an act of sacrifice, to save others who could carry on his dream. That's what he did man, he fought and he didn't give up. He didn't turn to weed and smoke it up to blow his worries away HAHAHA. That'd be funny. Imagine a one-armed dude smoking a blunt. High-larious! GRRRRRRRR GRRRRRRRRR GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR get it out, get it out, it's okay it's okay!!!!!  Haha hate the world enough yet? Man I'm such a hurtbag! I gotta get over it! "I am no maester to quote history on you, Your Grace. Swords have been my life, not books. But every child knows that the Targaryens have always danced too close to madness. Your father was not the first. King Jaehaerys once told me that madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, he said, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land." I wonder if I should ask the new dude tomorrow if Daniel's sister is hot bahahaha. Sorry, was really just writing anything that came to my mind! :) Tuesday, July 15, 2003
So there was a new guy at work today. He was yet another U of T math major, and we got to chatting a bit. Told him I'd come from ECE and he said he knew a dude from there. So he's like, "So do you know Daniel Tse?". And I was like oh man yeah I know Daniel! Then I said, "They guy who laughs a lot right?" To which new guy said, "Well no...I don't think he laughs A LOT..." So I corrected myself, "Sorry I meant, the guy who laughs really loud." New dude gives me a funny look, so I break out the impression..."HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR". "YEAH!" exclaims new dude, "That's the guy! Monday, July 14, 2003
Watching OTR today pisses me off. Geoff Baker is such a fucking motard. That is, he's a motherfucking retard. He doesn't know jack shit about what he's saying. People are distracted by the headlines and not looking at the core issue? What core issue? It's a non-issue you fuck. You field the best team you can, the bets price/performance ratio (like AMD), and that's it. Who cares if the drop off in %age in racial makeup is dramatic year-to-year. What a fag. I wanted to leap through the screen and fucking gouge his eyes out. I hate little dumb white guys who are so pretentiously liberal. It's like "hey look at me I'm liberal and open-minded and a new-age thinker". He looks like a bad imitation of Joshua Jackson (who's way cooler than him). Man if I met that guy on the street I'd trip him "by accident". Like I was telling AJ the other night, if I had a gun, I'd probably shoot him (not him specifically, just someone I was angry enough at).
Duuuude Clay how could you??? Haha! Aries Spears is the black guy on MadTV; there was a time when there were two black guys, the other being Phil LaMarr (who actually does a voice for a character in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty). I think you're talking about Orlando Jones, the funny black guy from The Replacements, Time Machine, Double Take and Bedazzled. So Jew, oops I mean Ju, Howard signed with the Magic. The hurtingest guy in sports must be QueerJo, who got swept out of the playoffs in the first round, and now is being booted aside in the ass by Dominator 3.
I dunno, but I think, if the bigfoot really had to be called something of that manner, he'd prefer to be called Sasquatch, the sexy man beast from Alpha Flight. Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirates' life is for me! Man something's wrong with my fucking Altec Lansings. Fucking computers. Sunday, July 13, 2003
Pirates of the Carribean was AWESOME! I knew it'd be good, but not that good. Wasn't just pure action (well it was, for the most part), but it was fucking hilarious. Lots of good slapstick. Couldn't stop laughing the whole movie and neither could the audience. Johnny Depp was so funny, he played that role so well. Orlando Bloom was OK (he had a boring/static part) and Geoffrey Rush was good too. Keira Knightley was just pure hotness, proving the Keira over Natalie Portman debate. The best thing about the movie was it reminded you of those good old swashbuckling movies like the musketeer movies. Just a great time all around and lots of fun. The chill after was good too.

CP's right, only has one star, Sir Sean Connery. But, I gotta say man, I love Peta Wilson. C'mon, she's Nikita! She's one of those women who look really ugly sometimes, then really hot the next time. And of course, there's Shane West as Tom Sawyer in the movie. I really like Shane West, he's another young superstar. Although he's more like a Josh Phelps as opposed to Vernon Wells, who would be like Orlando Bloom. I thought West did a great job in A Walk to Remember. I knew Mandy Moore was gonna be awesome for the part of Jamie Sullivan, but I was unsure if West, as an unproven actor, could do the role of Landon Carter justice. I'm glad the whole movie turned out pretty good with respect to the book. Just like in my Yahoo pools, I'm so biased for young superstars/stars about to break out. I always hate picking up veterans unless I have to. Hollywood prospects are like baseball ones, they're so hyped up, but you never know what ur gonna get! My favourite younger actors right now: Orlando Bloom (Legolas), Colin Farrell (Mr. Badass!), Shane West, Heath Ledger (man he was good since Roar, the one fantasy TV series that was not either Hercules or Xena), Paul Walker (although he's kinda dim), Seann William Scott (2 n's why?) and Stuart Townsend. Thing about Townsend is, he's also in LXG but his role sucks I think. I liked Townsend in Queen of the Damned. But I'm glad the fired him as Aragorn. Viggo Mortensen is so much better. Townsend was too young and he's an arrogant fuck. Speaking of which, I'm also glad Connery declined doing Gandalf and let Ian McKellen do it. Man people would have just laughed at him stumbling on his lines on his gay accent. With all due respect of course. I mean, he's great in other stuff. Give a female one later, that list is too huge.
Haha LV I was playing about the blog. I'm sticking to the agreement, like sticking to a non-disclosure agreement if I signed one to look at SCO's source code (nerd!). But I will say this...with all due respect to all bloggers...and yes, like I said before, blogs are a form of self-expression, nothing else...BUT! If based on pure entertainment value...heel blogs will always be better than face blogs! Face blogs are so boring...and dry! My friends have heel blogs, if we were to categorize them that way. They're way funnier, edgier...better! CP and Snowman should put up blogs, they are so heel. So anyways, I had another weird dream. Seems I get a wacko one every month. The more tired/deeper I sleep, the long they are it seems. I wish dream analysis was an exact science! Then someone could tell me what they mean...or portend! The crazy ones always involve ECE Clan for some reason. In this one, I dreamt that LV, in all his genius, created the first breed of Terminator! His reason, he told us, was that after all these years of garnering no respect from anyone in the "higher" circles, he decided to enact revenge! He created the T-69 and he set it loose to kill all the foreheads and Microsoft Certified Engineers. Interesting point was he said the T-69 was built on processors built-in with Intel's HT (HyperThreading) technology, whereby the system and OS believe there are two processors (virtual) where there really is only one in operation! This made the T-69 unstoppable said LV. The world was in Chaos and ECE Clan ended up becoming "The Party" akin to the party in George Orwell's 1984. It was weird tho, cuz ECE Clan started losing money, cuz LV didn't want to sell his Weapons of Mass Destruction to turn a profit. Man my dreams make no sense, I mean, if we took over the world, why would we need to buy anything? Then the dream got even weirder. CP was minister of recreational, arts, and sports development. He brought in Coldplay to play for ECE-Fest. It turned out tho, the Coldplay frontman (what's his name) came dressed as a transvestite. He accused a member of ECE-Clan of being gay and pimping him out to other guys. He then shot the dude!!! At that point, my alarm woke me and the insanity ended. Weird! Seems the dream is a combination of last week's viewing of T3, reading too much THG, and LV's post on MCSEs. Wednesday, July 09, 2003
I always loved the movie Boiler Room. It's such a wicked movie, with such a wicked cast, including Giovanni Ribisi (I liked this dude since his Friends cameos), Vin Diesel (man he's so cool), Ben Affleck, Jamie Kennedy, Nicky Katt, and Tom Everett Scott. I love the scene when the (brokerage) firm is about to get busted and Ribisi pulls Vin aside to warn him that a shakedown's about to happen, as well as to get Vin to sign off on a final deal to "help a client clean his slate". This was Ribisi's last attempt at some sort of redemption. Vin: Fuck Seth...didn't you learn anything here? Giovanni: Chris....I learned how to fuck people out of their money. Please, just sign this last deal. What difference does it make? Do one good thing before the end. Vernon Wells is wicked, and he's having an awesome year, but I swear, over the past two years, he's fattened up some (as G once used to describe Yanger hahahaha). Yes he's probably added muscle, but man his belly's bigger too. I remember back in '99 when he first came up, he was a lot slimmer and compact, more athletic-looking. I thought he was cooler then too, cuz he did the high socks thing. I hated when Junior Cruz stopped the high socks thing too. He was also cool with them. Anyways, I remember Vernon hitting his first MLB HR and man his bat-speed back then was just as fast. Glad he hasn't lost anything there, nor his defense/speed in the field. I'm usually impatient with players (especially in basketball), but I always thought Wells and Halladay would be stars, and now they have. Of course, I also believed for like 6 years Carpenter would be a star; he never was. What's up with Gabe Kapler? I bet he gets all the chicks, he's pretty hot for a dude (insert homoeroticism joke here). But what a waste of a physical specimen. The guy is built and stacked; he can run a little too. But this guy is no Canseco he can't hit for shit. All those years in the Tigers' farm system with people touting him as a hot prospect; what a waste! There's a glut of shit reality TV shows everywhere but I think Last Comic Standing is a decent one. I kinda like that Vietnamese guy (Phat? Dat?), but he's weak, and frankly, he's starting to remind me too much of Hoc. Why? Cuz he's so highly neurotic and suspicious. He thinks everyone thinks he's the weakest comic and they're all out to get him. I think one line he said one week reminded me of him, saying something like, "I'm doing it, with or without them!" Baha man pure WFG. And also he's crazy, tho not in a "Lord of the Rings sucks" kind of way, but man, the dude keeps fucking graphs and stats and flowcharts about his stand-up performances. One week he showed the others and he had like fucking stats for his shows, like "laughs/show" and "laughs/minute". Crazy! Then again, that's pure sabermetrics so maybe I should be giving him more propz. He's still crazy! Tuesday, July 08, 2003
The bastards at Baskin Robbins have jacked the price up on everything. A single scoop now costs $2.25 as opposed to $2.10. It was still $2.10 last summer, and even a couple months ago when I went with Andrea. That really pisses me off. Yes it's 15 cents and you can call me cheap, but man! I love ice cream on a hot summer day, but now I'm gonna boycott. As if they don't make enough money already. So Clay, are you angry GP's going to LA? Mwahaha.
Keira Knightley is hotter than Nat Portman. I was reading some of my brother's vocab list for English and I saw the word "intrinsic". Funny that The Architect never once said "Intrinsic" or "intrinsincally"; you'd think that'd be a sweet word for him to say along with "ergo", "concordantly", "vis-a-vis", "irrevocably", and "pertinent". A blog, while not really an artform, can still be considered as such. I mean, it's really just another webpage. While it's prime purpose is usually to act as a journal and a form of expression, and nothing else, there's no doubt it can be and will be judged on it's artistic merit. And so, I'm not knocking anyone's blogs at all here, but I just wanted to say I really enjoy that Anne chick's blog over all others. It's just really deep and sincere in a way few blogs are. Most blogs (like mine), no matter how personal, contain some element of entertainment or "selling it to the crowd" as it were. But hers does that on it's own merit; it sells itself simply because it's so good and straight from the heart. Both the content and delivery are great and she just seems really genuine with what she writes; and she doesn't write in a shoddy manner either. Of course, she does profess to be an "artsy" type. Anyways, she's not really a "chick", she's like a middle-aged lady, but total propz to her blog (not that she knows me or anything). It was wicked, there was a bit on Sabermetrics on the National with Peter Mansbridge. Good that better, more proven techniques of evaluation are finally hitting the mainstream and getting more notice, even though they've been around for years. I hate idiots who don't know shit about stuff like that. I also hate idiots who play pools that way, playing without knowing shit. But what I hate more than even those things, is being forced to play that way in a pool to survive, even if you know some of these categories are majorly gay and you'd never build a team like the way you have to for a pool. And another thing I hate, are guys who, despite knowing better, play a pool that way anyways with clouded judgements based on sentimentality or just to be cheap and win. Not talking about P-Lo here. Nor Tron 1.0, nor Cyclops, nor Soup. I hate the fact you have to draft fags who steal bases and can't hit for shit, and that ends up hurting you in the stats/standings. Or the fact you have to pick up gay pitchers who can't pitch worth shit just cuz they get wins on a good team. Meanwhile they have ERAs over 4.5 and like WHIPs over 1.4. Matsui's a decent player, but he shouldn't be in that starting lineup, or that roster even. So, pirates on Wednesday! Saturday, July 05, 2003
That Tropical Chicken Pizza last night was real good. Good choice CP! The alfredo sauce was wicked; sometimes I hate the tomato sauce because they slop on too much of it. To play the heel, I say it would be wicked to see Malone AND GP with the Lakers. But with 4 guys with egos like that, I actually doubt they'd win (remember the failed Olajuwon/Pippen/Barkley thing - although I guess the counter-argument would be what about MJ/Pippen/Rodman or say Bird/Parrish/McHale). Know what I really hate? When you go check out the Sunshine Girl in the Sun, or the covergirl of Maxim or Stuff Magazine or FHM, or any mag, and the feature chick is a fucking orc chick. That's total turnoff right there. Unless it's like Tyra Banks; then it's like, a maybe.
T3 was pretty good! I lot better than I expected. Arnie never takes himself too seriously, which is always good and why people still like him after all this time. Loved the ending, me and AJ were talking about how they should end that way the whole movie. His suggestion that they should have said the robots should blow up the sun after Judgement Day is hilarious. I always love finding connections between movies/actors/actresses and other movies or shows you've seen. I'm not quite a movie buff but I like all the odd relations. For example, I knew Kristanna Loken was a model (and hot!) before, but I'd seen her somewhere else. Well that was as Taja in the TV series Mortal Kombat: Conquest. Yes, pathetic show but I was an MK fan so I watched haha. She was cute red-head then and "only" 19. Here she is with cool-dude Paolo Montalban (Kung Lao):  And in another odd connection, guess who played Siro on that series (as I mentioned before)? None other than Daniel Bernhardt a.k.a. Agent ("He is still only human.") Johnson from Matrix 2:  Thursday, July 03, 2003
The Avs are stacked man. And that was before today. They think they be the Yankees of hockey? Haha suckas. At least the Yanks don't flame out against some upstart team like the Minnesota Wild...oh wait...oh nevermind...oh yeah, something about Anaheim last year. Don't get me wrong, I don't support terrorist groups. But "Islamic Jihad" or just "Jihad" itself is such a cool-sounding word. It's like a word Christopher Lee would say really well as Saruman. "Jihad my Lord, is ready to fall!" "Jihad my Lord, is ready to burn!" "Jihad is mine!" "The Jihad took your lands. They drove your people into the hills, to scratch a living off rocks! Take back the lands they stole from you. Burn every village!" "There will be no dawn for Jihad." "Do you know how Jihad first came into being?" "Jihad has regained much if its former strength. It cannot yet take physical form, but its spirit has lost none of its potency." Or maybe as Count Dooku (aka Darth something-or-other, Siddius was it?). "Obe-Wan, what if I told you that Jihad was now in the control of a Dark Lord of the Sith?" May God have mercy on us if that is so!!! Islamic Jihad wielding light-sabers and using The Force,  !Not to be rude, cuz all Chinese people are like...last-named Chan or Chang...but are like, all Koreans' last name Kim??? Sun-woo Kim. Byung-Hyun Kim. Randall Duk Kim (aka The Keymaker). Man. It's tough on dudes seriously. Chicks will always want u to compliment them and say nice things and say sweet things; they all crave it (well I guess guys do too). So if you don't, you get flak. But then if you do, two things happen. If you're just some dude/stranger, they think ur a perv/stalker. If you're dating the girl, then she says ur insincere and ur just humouring her. C'mon! It's always between a rock and a hard place for guys. G's insights are so correct! Well I bought new books. I still haven't written any commentaries cuz I'm lazy, tho I want to. I got Barbara Kingsolver's The Bean Trees and Charlotte Bronte's (dunno the char. map key for this thingy) Jane Eyre. Haha I know laugh all you want! Boring chick books! But I'd like to see who's more "tits", Charlotte or Emily. Might read Anne too, but I heard she's weak. My choices were very chick-influenced by I enjoy the reading. But my next one after those two will probably be something different, maybe that A Thousand Gold Pieces book (non-fiction about Chinese history/culture/etc.) or I'll try Requiem for the Sun, or maybe another Gaiman book. Maybe I should try sci-fi it's like the one genre I shy away from. After discussion with G, maybe Asimov. By the way, wasn't Incredible Journey a book about a cat and two dogs going home??? And not a sci-fi book? So confused. Wednesday, July 02, 2003
As much as I am a Vince-hater, I have to say, you can no longer really call him "the most overrated athlete" (or one of them). Simply because everyone knows he's overrated now; no one's been hyping him really for at least a year now and he's constantly being bashed. So being "overrated" isn't really that deserving anymore. The media certainly doesn't give him much due anymore. Instead, the most overrated athlete is Derek "I am a pussy" Jeter who is still beholden by all (other than the few astute sports writers and fans) despite what I will expect to be two "sub-par" seasons (based on the standards people have put him to). Please, he should be replaced in the Holy Trinity by Tejada (who is actually sucking this year). Or maybe Chris "Tits" Woodward.
In light of T3: Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics 1) A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2) A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. |
