The 2010 World Cup kicks off today! Ha! See how I included the word “kick” in there? Anyway, I know it is a long shot (and by long shot I mean a snowballs chance in hell), but I am hoping for Team USA to win the whole damn thing!
I admit that many years ago I was one of those that didn’t care too much for soccer, or futbol, depending on where you’re from. But over the years it has really grown on me. The World Cup is the single greatest sporting event in the world. How can anyone not get pumped for this? The day I have kids, I will be putting them in for soccer, like it or not. 
So I wish Team USA the best. Bring home the trophy! And since Costa Rica didn’t qualify this time, I guess I will pull for… hmm. I don’t know. Not sure who to pull for if Team USA gets bounced. I guess we’ll see who plays with the most heart. But I do have a soft spot in my heart for Cameroon. But that’s a different story.

Now here is a cause I can get behind.
October is here. And that means it’s Breast Cancer Awareness month. And it’s times like these that I feel I should speak out. You see everyone, few causes are as important as this one. You want to Save the whales? That’s great. But let’s save the boobs first, got it? Priorities, people!
You want to hug a tree? That’s cool. Me? I’d rather hug boobs. And I think I speak for every man and woman out there that boobs take priority over trees. So, to hell with the trees. Save the boobs! This cannot be ignored!! If that means other causes have to be put on the back burner, so be it! Priorities, people.
What about PETA? Hmmm… no. Save the boobs, damn it! I hope I am getting through to everyone. This is absolutely of the utmost importance!! Don’t ignore this plea. To illustrate how motivated I am about this, I will offer free breast exams as long as there is something in writing that I can’t be held accountable for anything. I am just trying to help here.
A world without boobs is a world I don’t want to be in.

I just have one question for you, Olga. Does the word “splat” mean anything to you?
I’m glad there was visual evidence of this, because I had a hard time believing my little sister would do this. Wow. Gotta give you props, Olga. I’m glad you made it down in one piece.
Surprisingly, skydiving is actually on my to-do list. Right between finding a cure for hickups and testing a beef-flavored sunscreen in shark infested waters.

My buddy Brian has got some hardcore softball fever (as opposed to cedar fever which is what I’ve been suffering from). I know this because in the past, he has periodically mentioned how he would want to start his own team from scratch. But then that talk would evaporate and it would be business as usual playing on our friend Jay’s team.
Well, this week Brian went all out. He is putting a team together. He is actively recruiting players, buying uniforms, and even set up a website for the team. The team name you ask? We are called Softball, Inc. To be honest, I’m not 100% sure that comma should be there, but, whatever. I dig it. If you click on the link, he has an old softball team pic in there. And some witty remarks here and there. We’ll see. It should be a fun season. I look forward to it.
So if you live in the San Antonio area and feel like playing, check out the site and contact Brian. Just don’t join the team with the intention of knocking me out of batting 9th in the line-up! If those are your intentions, then move along. No room for you at the inn!

A long December and there’s reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last-Counting Crows, Long December
I can’t say that I’m too upset about 2008 coming to a close. It’s been a somewhat rough year at different times for me. And after doing a lot of soul searching, I look forward to the opportunity to start 2009 with a clean slate. A fresh start is just what the doctor ordered.
So I wish everyone out there a very happy 2009! Be safe on New Year’s Eve, especially if you’re out there driving amongst all the drunkness. Until next year…

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.

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…

So the New York Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys are now partners in a concessions company that will be handling all the food distribution at their new stadiums. Anyone surprised? I’m not. I think it was just a matter of time. At least I know where I won’t be buying a beer at.
Something is missing in all this. Ahh yes, where are the Lakers? You can’t have Hitler and Mussolini without whatever bad guy they had out of Japan. This will likely piss off the Lakers. All that money without the Lakers getting a piece of the pie? Don’t the Yankees and Cowboys remember the last time someone told Kobe “no”?
You want to call me a ‘Hater’? That’s cool. I’m drinking ‘Haterade’. Because, yes, I hate the Yankees, Cowboys, and Lakers. I am a sports fan. And as a sports fan I clearly recognize the unholy trinity of sports evil. Anyone who is a sports fan of those three teams is not an actual sports fan. Period. And that goes for Lebron James. I know he publicly loves the Yankees and Cowboys. But don’t be at all surprised when he bolts the Cavs to go to play for the Lakers someday. And that sucks, because I really like Lebron.
And I just realized Lebron James was a topic in 2 consecutive posts. He will no doubt be receiving an award for this.
