what i did yesterday in indianapolis.

yes, that is archie manning (who i dislike because of what he did to the chargers). we all went bowling together (the other people are my coworkers). 

yes, that is peyton manning. 

meanwhile, back in atlanta... marina shows off her coconuts. 

and night. 

beautiful by day... 

ahh... petco park... how i've longed to be with you. 

Race and food ordering go hand-in-hand. Can you identify the race?

1. "Yeah, uh, let me get a number one, no cheese, extra onions, and only one slice of tomato. Make sure it's only one slice."

2. "Number one. No cheese."

3. "How are ya? Good! Let's see... I think I'll get a number one please. Oh! And no cheese please."

PETCO PARK. HERE I COME BABY.

"the center has to be at least... three times as big!"
"he's absoutely right..."

this post has nothing to do with the quote, but it was on TV tonight so i just had to post it. it's one of my all-time favorites. but this post is about something just as stupid: video games and trashy tv.

to aileen, the worst possible way to waste time is to play video games. to me, sitting around and just watching trashy tv (especially those shows where you just KNOW it's not going to make it) is the worst way to spend time. whenever one of us does something we love and cannot live without, the other tends to get a little annoyed, and sometimes, worse.

so what can we do? well, thankfully, there are the "Blitches" that we spend a lot of time with. they are a godsend. the alter ego loves to do exactly what aileen loves to do, and her fiancee, a very old friend of mine, loves to play video games as much as i do. thus, as long as the girls are watching their trashy tv shows, the guys can play games like battlefield 2. but while it looks good on paper, it doesn't always work. in the summer, there isn't anything to watch on tv. so it's really a catch-22... do i try to get aileen to watch even more tv, which i hate? or do i cut back on my video games and lose precious minutes of gaming? or maybe some other options?

a pet peeve of mine - song lyrics that use the word "yeah" just for the hell of it.

for example, here's an excerpt of kelly clarkson's "since you've been gone:"

Here's the thing we started off friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since you've been gone

why is there a "yeah yeah?" why? it has no logic. moreover, the "since you've been gone" part doesn't make any sense either. it's just random phrases put together just to complete the verse. complete idiocy.

another pet peeve of mine - raps that slur words just to make it rhyme. what the crap is that?
