On Valentine’s day, Lucas Films released the teaser trailer for the new Indiana Jones flick. It’s a quick one and you don’t get too much out of it, but it’s cool to see Harrison Ford back in this role. Out of all the sequels that have come out in recent years, I have been looking forward to this one for some time now. George Lucas, this is your chance to make things right. Your one and only chance to make up for the absolute garbage that was those three films you made and tied in to your original Star Wars trilogy. I really hope you don’t screw up one of the greatest characters in movie history.
Anyway, I’m really pumped for this one. Indiana Jones back in all his glory. I have some friends that give me a hell for dressing up as Indiana Jones for Halloween several years running. But come on, it was one of the easiest costumes to put together! I just happened to have all the stuff. Brown Fedora. Bullwhip. Khakis. Brown leather jacket. Far better than anything you would find in a costume shop.
This makes me think of my ex-girlfriend. She used to insist that Indy’s jacket was a dirty old denim jacket. So dirty that it turned brown. That was one of my favorite arguments with her. One of many. 
I hope by now she’s figured this one out. Then again, she was always a little on the nutty side.
The jacket is leather, Steph. It’s a brown leather jacket.

A bunch of naughty photos of members of the Sacramento Kings dance team are being circulated on the web. From what I can tell, it looks like one of the girls posted a bunch of her pics online, where they eventually got leaked. Well, that wasn’t the smartest thing she could do if she wanted to keep them under wraps. But is anyone shocked that this girl had several thousand brain cells on their lunch break when she decided to do this?
I don’t have a problem with these. In fact, I encourage all cheerleader types to express themselves in this manner, and then share them with the rest of the world! But let’s be honest, is anyone surprised by this? This is becoming the norm for young twenty-something girls everywhere. And I speak for every man out there when I say, “keep ‘em coming”!
If you want to see the more risque pics, go to withleather.com. Don’t get your hopes to high, though. The girls aren’t the hottest in the world. But yeah, I would say it’s worth taking a look.

First, let me wish you all a very special and very happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all get the love that you so desperately desire.
Second, let me tell you how much I think Valentine’s Day sucks. Is it because I never get anything? Nope. I’ve already gotten a bunch of gifts and candy from adoring fans, and it’s only 9 a.m, so that’s not it. It’s because Valentine’s Day is a corporate holiday, in the sense that it was created for the sole purpose of generating crazy amounts of money for companies like Hallmark, FTD, Russell Stover, etc. It is essentially a scam. Yet we are made to feel guilty if we don’t buy all these things to make our significant others feel loved. I’ve got news for you. If it takes Valentine’s Day for your significant other to feel loved, you’ve got much bigger problems, my friend.
I also despise going to dinner on Valentine’s Day. But if you’re a regular reader of the blog, then you already know my strong feelings about that. Bottom line, it’s not worth it. In fact, February 14th may possibly be the worst day to ever dine out. Period. Don’t believe me? Then go to dinner tonight. It doesn’t even have to be a real fancy place. Hell, go to Chili’s if you want. I dare you.
The only interesting part about Valentine’s Day is seeing all the women at work roll their eyes when one of their co-workers gets a delivery of flowers. I love that! They had a little something here that you can send a co-worker a Valentine, so Brian and I took it upon ourselves to send one on Horbi’s behalf. When you read the message in the pic, try to imagine it being said in a Puerto Rican accent.
Just because I don’t like Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean I’ve lost my sense of humor.

God bless those guys at Sports Illustrated. It’s decisions like this that make me proud to be an American. Yes, folks. Seeing a half naked Marisa Miller gets my patriotic juices flowing.

I’ve always thought of myself as fairly conservative. But lately with all that is happening in the world of politics right now, I feel the need to rethink my positions. I do have a couple of liberal views and my reasons for them, so I know I’m not 100% conservative. So what the hell am I really?
So today I made it a point to use this beautiful Al Gore invention and search the web for answers. Maybe a test or quiz.? Some kind of questionaire to help me determine if I’m a “right wing nut job” or a “tree hugging hippie”. Well, I think I found one. Check it out here. It comes from the website people-press.org, and it looks as if these folks specialize in this kind of research. The questions, and the page are dated 2005, but I figure it’s close enough.
So I took the test. And the results were slightly shocking. I’m not as conservative as I thought. But I’m no “bleeding heart”, either. Did it do anything to make it clearer who I’m going to vote for this November? Not really. Unless you include the fact that I will never vote for Hillary Clinton. But I knew that before I took the quiz.

The more I see stuff like this, the more I like Barack Obama.
Seriously, though. What’s not to like about the guy? I mean, besides his liberal views on things.

Last night I watched the election results on CNN while enjoying a glass of sweet tea. Why is that significant, you may ask? Depends on which part of the first statement you are curious about. If you are referring to the election results, then they weren’t significant, really. No candidate really demolished another. So that means the campaigns will go on. I have to tell you that I kind of like this. If the race stays tight, then maybe my home state of Texas will become significant come March 4th when it will have it’s Primary election. That would in turn mean that the candidates would have to come down here to do some heavy campaigning. And I have no problem watching prominent politicians come to the Lone Star state to smooch a bunch of voter butt cheeks. Pucker up!
Now if you were more interested in why I was drinking sweet tea last night, well, I always drink sweet tea. In fact, I love sweet tea. Which brings me to Fat Tuesday. Which in turn brings me to that famed time of year where dedicated Catholics appear grumpier than usual. Yup. Lent. I am giving up sweet tea again this year. Along with red meat. And go to church every Sunday. I think that will be all I can handle this year.
I’m thinking of a self-imposed penalty should I falter in any of these. Maybe punish myself by shaving my head or depriving myself of sleep. I don’t know. Something that will keep going strong with this. I’m open to suggestions if you have any.

If you are a fan of the Super Bowl commercials more than the game itself, then I hope you got to see Will Ferrell as Jackie Moon in a commercial for Bud Light. As funny as it was, the extended commercial is even funnier! You can thank me later.
There wasn’t much doubt I would see this movie when it comes out. But a quick glimpse of Will Ferrell at his best has me all geared up for Semi-Pro.
