A-Rod, Weiner, NFL

Some musings

How about that A-Rod?  If I were that guy I would take the money and run.  He sucks as a baseball player due to his failing body.  He is a horrible human being.  He can't stay out of the papers.  Just go to Miami where people might like you and stay there.  Like you need to bleed the Yankees for another $80m?  I think  he made out on that contract.

Anthony Weiner - I fucking love that guy.  Best part is that when asked if there would be more women coming forward he responses with (and I am paraphrasing here) "Yeah, there could be a few more out there."  Basically saying, you guys haven't even seen the good stuff yet.  Fuck it, he's a horny dude who was going through a "rough patch" with his wife.  I'm not saying he's a good or a bad guy.  He's just a horny guy who women were able to get some press for themselves by exposing him.  Should he be smarter?  Yes.  Do guys think with their dicks from time to time (or in Weiner's case...time and time again)?  Yes.  As I recall George Washington died of an STD, FDR died with his mistress at his side, JFK banged anything that walked into the White House, Bill Clinton was shoving cigars in interesting places.  It is a matter of context.

The NFL.  It is almost back.  Which means my Sundays will now be a combination of Tom Brady, me cursing the Patriots defense, and beer.

I am thinking about taking some classes.  You know, to learn stuff.  I don't feel like I'm overly intellectually challenged at work right now.  "Go sell more shoes" is about as creative as I get.

Update - I decided as I was writing this that I really want to take the class so I signed up.  See if I can get my advertising on.  I have been actively working on some ideas for a portfolio.  Hopefully this helps me get it together.

Boy, when is the next presidential election?  I can't wait for that.

Seen Ray Donovan?  Neither have I.  Fucking CBS and Time Warner best get their shit together and reach an agreement.  Not going to be happy if this interferes with my Sunday football experience either.

You know how I work at a running store.  It has actually made me not want to run at all.  Ironic.

If I won the lottery I would open a tap house that exclusively sold IPA.  Also, I would wear shorts everywhere.  And I would go to England.  And Ireland.  And Fiji.  Ok, so I would travel.

I promise to write more blogs.  I really do.  I am happier when I write more often and I have realized that has been lacking.

What Is the World Coming To?

I have been working on a huge project at work.  I could tell you about it, but I will wait until the ink is on the page before doing so. My point here is that I have been able to be creative with how I plan a huge event.  Rather satisfying to create a concept and work it through.   You know, better than cubicle living. I hung out at an ad agency last night.  I wish my company had beer taps, free food, a pool table, and bean bag chairs.  No really......that was amazing.  Was also able to have an hour long strategy session around my event - while drinking free beer.  Yeah, so that didn't suck.  At all.  In the least.  In any capacity.  Whatsoever.  I may ask if they need an intern. Bought tickets to a Brian Fallon concert.  He is the lead singer for The Gaslight Anthem.  It is in the middle of New Jersey.  I have no clue how I will get there, but I will manage.  I mean, how tough could it possibly be? ...

The Trump vs. Clinton Dilemma

The Trump vs. Clinton Dilemma is an American Dilemma I have always been into politics.  The board game "Hail to the Chief" was my favorite growing up.  (At the age of 11 I could name all 50 state capitals.  Today.....Hold on, let me try.  Tell you in a second......43.  Respectable, but an exercise that led me to kick myself over forgetting the capital of New Hampshire.)  I love political dramas like House of Cards and The West Wing (another reason I should have known the capital of NH).  When I was in college I majored in Political Science and nearly went to 50% of my classes.  On Sunday mornings I tend to watch Meet the Press. You get the picture I am painting here.  I enjoy politics. And I'll even tell you my political views.  I am a fiscal conservative and liberal on most social policies.  Our tax code is completely broken.  Immigration is a problem that can be fixed with cooperation and better border enforcement/let's ...

Save the Pandas

Let's get this out in the open.  I love Pandas.  They sit around all day eating bamboo, climbing trees, rolling around........pretty much enjoying life.  I dig that.  If everyone in this world were more like a panda it would be a friendlier, fuzzier place.  But alas, we humans do not resemble the Giant Panda.  Therefore, perhaps, we need Giant Pandas to remind us of how simple life can be.   (OK, I'm only speaking for myself here, but Pandas are simply a cool animal that I enjoy going to the zoo and watching for an hour - or however long they let me stand at the Panda reserve) So that is why this news report is so very upsetting to me: http://rockcenter.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/21/16964074-are-giant-pandas-worth-saving?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=1 The idea that we need to be putting fewer resources into the preservation of the panda species.   I have some arguments here: 1. What would you rather save?  A lizard?  Liz...
