My buddy Horbi showed this one to me. This is from the British version of American Idol. Or America’s Got Talent. Whatever. Anyway, this dude has got some pipes! And it’s a pretty emotional moment. Watch his rendition of Andrea Bocelli’s ‘Nessun Dorma’, and you’ll know what I mean.
Now, I think it’s fair to say that I’m not what you would call an emotional guy. If you know me personally, you know this is the case. But after I saw this, I cried non-stop for a good 45 minutes. Horbi had to go buy me two bottles of water from the cafeteria here at work because I was so dehydrated. I literally ran out of tears!
Ok. Maybe I’m exaggerating. But it does tug on your heartstrings a bit. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, I do have a heart

I already can’t stand Hillary Clinton. For whatever reason, whether it’s her political stances, her annoying voice, or just her monumental bitch persona, I just don’t like the dude woman. If there is one sure fire way to guarantee that I don’t vote Demorcat in 2008, it’s having this broad as the candidate.
So you can now add another reason why I can’t stand Hillary Clinton. Are you ready for this one? Apparently, girls are starting to find her attractive. Or at least this one does in this Hot 4 Hill video below. This is immediate cause for concern, since this girl doesn’t look too bad. I mean, if anyone women are going to be attracted to Hillary Clinton, shouldn’t they, you know, be butch like Hillary?
I don’t recognize the girl in the video, but apparently she is somewhat of a celebrity. Her name is Taryn Southern, an American Idol reject from a couple of years ago. It looks like she really digs Hillary. And at the same time she must hate men. And also children. Or at least I assume she hates children by putting them in this video and subjecting them to this political garbage. I mean, come on. The little kids are singing for Hillary. Oh! How adorable! They love her! We must make her our leader! Give me a break.
So yes, I despise Hillary Clinton. More so now than ever. How dare she start attracting decent looking girls! You know, I don’t know of any man that finds Hillary Clinton attractive. And that includes Bill. Do you really think Bill is attracted to this? Well, then again, he did get it on with Monica Lewinski. It’s like Bill is playing Dr Seuss. Except that Dr. Seuss’ version of Thing 1 and Thing 2 didn’t give a grown man nightmares.
I remember when I was in high school and Clinton was in his first term as President. Sometime during the second year of that term, my Mom got a new dog. It was a small, beagle like dog they she named “Maggie”. Well, my Dad has never called it by her name. Instead, he calls her “Hillary”. And he still does today. That’s a true story. And a wise man.

My buddy Brian sent this one to me. It’s from the new HBO show “Flight of the Conchords”. If your sense of humor doesn’t suck, then you will be laughing with this one. If your sense of humor does suck,… well… you’ve got bigger problems and should probably be addressing them.
In case you don’t know, the singers/actors in this are Kiwis. New Zealanders for you un-hip types. So if you don’t quite catch what he says, it may be due to his accent. Or just different phrases he uses, like “my mate, Dave”. So you may want to play it more than once to get the full affect. Unless you’re a Kiwi. Then you probably got it the first time.
Enjoy!

Where do I start…
I went to Spain and Portugal for 10 days. Guess what? The airline lost my luggage. I don’t know who exactly is at fault, but either Continental or Air France really screwed the pooch on this one. As I type this, neither one can tell me where the luggage is. Way to go, assholes.
This forced my hand into buying clothes over there. Let me tell you something about European clothes: They are expensive as hell and ugly as sin. So time that I had planned for exploring and leisure had to be used for shopping. And dear Lord do I hate shopping! So I fully plan on getting reimbursed for all the jacked up clothes I had to buy there. And they better give me some compensation for losing my luggage. My favorite pair of flip-flops were in there. And to me those were priceless.
The hotels on the trip sucked. Small rooms. Smaller bathrooms. No irons? Please. So not only were the euro-clothes crappy, but I couldn’t iron them. Seriously folks. No irons. And these were 4 star hotels, allegedly. They must be buying their hotel ratings from the same guys peddling bootleg copies of Transformers and Shrek 3 on the streets there.
I couldn’t believe how rude the Portugese are. I hope the small group of them I encountered don’t accurately represent the majority. Those bastards would ignore or look right though you if you asked them a question. The French people I encountered were more pleasant. Imagine that.
It wasn’t a total loss. I did see some cool stuff on the trip. There is no denying that. And I did meet some cool people as well. I met some Aussies, some Brits, some Canucks. And they all helped me drink away the anger on a couple of nights. So I guess the trip wasn’t a total loss. Just lots of frustrations on our end.
One last note. I just heard that the luggage has been located by Air France. It’s in London. Motherf&%$rs!!!!

I got to Spain this morning. Or maybe it was last night. I don’t know. But I am here. I meant to send out a little something that I was leaving, but I forgot. Damn loose ends.
Anyway, I’ll try to throw in a post when I can, but now all I can think of is sleep and how bad I need it. Hopefully I’ll get some good pics from the trip.
That’s it! I’m out like a light. But not before I check out what happened with the NBA draft…
Ray Allen went where???!

I have the Instant Media application that will download video podcasts. One of the podcasts I’ve subscribed to is from Ripe TV. The podcasts are usually pretty good. And when I say pretty good, I mean they are usually about super model photo shoots. Nothing wrong with that! 
So I decided to check out the website for Ripe TV. To my surprise, Kim Kardashian is “hosting” the web site. I must have been out of the loop for a while. When did this happen? Anyway, from what I can tell, it’s more or less her telling you through a video what’s what with the site and the shows they have. I have to say that I dig Ripe TV, but Kim Kardashian is kind of hard to watch. To put it mildly, she’s not very graceful with the dialogue. In fact, she comes off as not having much brain activity at all. But let’s be realistic. We all know she’s not there because of her public speaking.
There is no denying that Kim Kardashian is smoking hot. It makes me kind of sad to think that she’s heading down the same road that her former buddy Paris Hilton paved the way for. And that road that I’m referring to of course is “Skank Boulevard”. And you have to laugh about the friendship fallout between Kardashian and Hilton. It’s like Hilton can’t take someone getting more looks than her. And Kim Kardashian will almost always get more looks than Paris Hilton. So the solution for Hilton on this front is to be friends with skanks of equal or less attractiveness. And with that last tidbit I have now explained the welcoming back of Nicole Richie into Hilton’s life.

So my buddy Brian threw a surprise 30th birthday party on Saturday night for his wife Mary Kate. A nice sized group was there to celebrate. Plenty to drink. Excellent food. Good music (until Nick put in his Celine Dion’s Greatest Hits cd). Even got to enjoy a cigar. But the obvious hit of this party was Japanese. Yes, I’m referring to the Nintendo Wii. And now I want one.
Here’s Spray getting the digital crap kicked out of him in boxing.
Brian got the Wii about 2 weeks ago and has been raving about it ever since. Everybody enjoyed it. We bowled. Played tennis. Golfed. Played home run derby. I was impressed! So the Wii has now made it on my list of things to buy.
One negative thing to note. You know how I’ve had a sore right shoulder for a couple of weeks? And of course I’ve been meaning to go to the doctor about it but due to my stubborness/laziness have yet to make an appointment. Well, when doing the home run derby on the Wii Saturday night, I tweaked it again. The damn thing was starting to feel better too. So, take this advice. Don’t jack with the Wii when you have a jacked up appendage. Out!

Ok. This is the last post regarding the Spurs and winning the 2007 title. Time to move on…
