I made it clear to anyone that would listen (mostly my dogs) that there was no way I would ever buy or play Guitar Hero World Tour. Why, you may wonder? How can I support a product that is endorsed by a rapist (Kobe), a first-class prick (A-Rod), a first-class dork (Michael Phelps), and Tony Hawk, whom I have absolutely nothing against? Seriously, when I saw this commercial, I almost puked. I feel bad for Tony Hawk for having to be associated with these shmucks. And I just pity Michael Phelps and his stupid “I’m just happy to be here” grin. I do feel I should be more specific when referring to A-Rod as a prick, because I know that could be applied to Kobe as well.
Anyway, I guess the jokers promoting Guitar Zero got enough complaints, because they came out with a much better version of the commercial featuring Heidi Klum! Yes! I like it. Will I buy or play the game now? Absolutely! I lie. Of course I won’t. But I forgive them. And now I have a new video to watch.

Today I turn 33 years old. But I will always be a kid at heart, as evident by some of the pics below. And I know a couple of you think 33 isn’t that bad, but in the mornings it feels more like 53.
Anyway, I know this is kind of late since everyone now has ditched their costumes and now have Turkey on the mind, but here are some pics from my Halloween 2008 experience. Pretty good costumes! I wish I were that creative.
And the following pics are from my blogging brothers and sisters listed on my blogroll. Thanks to all of you that got into the spirit Halloween! Click on the pic to go to their respective blogs. I encourage you to ask them to explain their costumes, because a couple of them are head-scratchers.

So I am going to start training for the Turkey Trot, which is a 4 mile run that takes place Thanksgiving morning (Procrastination, I know). I guess they started doing this so that people don’t feel so bad after eating so much Thanksgiving dinner because they already had a morning workout. I’m not going to lie. I’m doing it so that I can eat more pumpkin pie.
Anyway, so as I start this training, I feel the need to bust out the Nike Plus gear. I haven’t used it in quite a while, so I’ll have to make sure it is all working properly. I’ll be going for a run later this evening and you’ll be able to track my progress on the sidebar of the blog. I know you will be scratching your collective heads after looking at my numbers, but don’t worry, they will be correct. I am just in that bad of shape.

Since I keep getting a lot of flak from a fellow blogger, whom I won’t name, about my admiration for sexy Halloween costumes, I stumbled across this calssic video and decided it was worthy of posting.
Just a reminder that if you are on my Blogroll and you haven’t sent me a pic of yourself in your Halloween costume, that you will be represented in a post next week along with all the other pics I received. I wonder how my Photoshop skills are. Hmmm.
Happy Halloween! And be careful tonight…

I went to the Spurs-Suns game on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, the Spurs lost. But instead of dwelling on the loss, I try to take something positive out of it. Lucky for me it is close to Halloween!
The Spurs dance team, the Silver Dancers, decided to bust a move to the Ghostbusters theme song. So, in the Halloween spirit, they decided to go the naughty route. I took the above video, but it doesn’t do it justice. Towards the end of it I tried to get a better shot from the jumbo tron. Anyway, they looked pretty damn good. I saw a Genie, a Nurse, a Cowgirl, etc. They pretty much went through the entire Frederick’s of Hollywood catalog.
Although I was all for it, I was a little surprised of all that naughty attire in a family-friendly environment. But, oh well. That’s their problem. All I know is that I have to support my team, no matter how naked their dance team wants to get.
Anyway, Happy Halloween to all of you. Don’t eat too much candy…

To most everyone, today is Halloween. But all my life, Halloween has been an after thought, since today is also my Mom’s birthday. She occasionally reads my blog, no doubtedly wondering where she went wrong raising me.
So let me say Happy birthday, Mom! I love you very much and I hope you have a great day.

Well ladies and gentlemen, I’m done. I have participated in this historical election. I can look back years from now amd say I played my part. Want proof you say? Well, explain the “I Voted” sticker on my hat, Columbo?
So how many of you are slackers (like I’m betting my sisters are) and haven’t stood up to the plate and voted? How many of you are waiting until Election Day? How many of you don’t want to vote for either of these jokers? How many of you put me in as your write in?

This post is aimed at my fellow bloggers. So if you are not a blogger, there is a good chance you are not going to get some of this. And therefore it will be a boring read. Just a heads up.
Since mid-September, I have gotten a bunch of requests to add blogs to my Blogroll. I’ve mostly ignored these requests. Not that I was trying to be rude, but that I kind of thought a request was bizarre. I’ve never requested to be added to someone’s Blogroll. And I don’t have a ton of blogs listed, but when I find one I like, I just add it. Plain and simple. Am I not practicing the right etiquette here? Am I supposed to ask permission to add someone? How do you handle it? How do you decide what you Blogroll or not?
This got me thinking. If I was being rude about the Blogroll thing, then I apologize (I am going to get on Amazon.com and hunt down Blog Ettiquette for Dummies). So, let’s do this in the spirit of Halloween. If you want to be added to the Blogroll, send me a pic of you in your Halloween costume! I will then post all the pics I receive in a single post and link them back to your sites. If you are already on my Blogroll, you still need to participate. If not, then you will be represented with a Halloween pic of my choice. 
I think this sounds pretty fair. And don’t be shy with the costumes! Your thoughts?
