Just a quick note. All weekend people kept bringing up Britney Spears and her shaved head. Here is a quick equation for everyone: Britney Spears + Shaved Head = Attention Whore.
Maybe it’s just me, but when I look at this picture of Uncle Fester, the first thought that pops in my head is “9 ball. Corner pocket.”

This past weekend was NBA All-Star weekend in Las Vegas. If you’re a sports fan, you probably already knew this. If you didn’t, you’re probably a girl.
As a kid I would love watching the All-Star games. The dunk contests. The 3 point shoot out. It was fun to watch. Now, I think it’s a waste of time. I will find more important things to watch (Futurama anyone?) or do. But there was a minor event the NBA held that I did want to watch: The Charles Barkley – Dick Bevetta show down! Dick Bevetta, a 67-year-old NBA ref , challenged Hall of Famer Charles Barkley to a race a couple of months ago. It seemed to be in jest, but snowballed to possibly the highlight of All-Star weekend. Check out the video below. Definitely worth watching!

I finally got up to making some use of the photo gallery page. Just a bunch of random pictures. I didn’t bother to put in any captions or anything like that, so they are open to artistic interpretation.

So a good friend of mine is facing a change of residence due to his career path. He is trying to decide on which city to call home for the foreseeable future. His choices break down to these:
- Chicago
- Dallas
- Los Angeles
- Miami
- New York
Seeing as out of all his options I’ve only spent time in Los Angeles (I need to travel more), I can only make a suggestion based on my limited knowledge. From everything I’ve heard, New York is awesome if you’re making at least 6 figures. If not, then it sucks. Dallas is in Texas, and if I were going to make a big move, I would at least want to get out of Texas. L.A. is in California. And California is a beautiful state. But most people in California are weirdos. Most people! I will probably get flamed for that, so I stress the “most” part.
That leaves Miami and Chicago. At this point I would flip a coin. Never spent time in either city, so I would do some research. I hear the weather is nice in Miami. And that it’s full of Cubans. Not sure what Chicago has, except snow. And fewer Cubans. Decisions, decisions…

So I have a friend of mine I work with who is going to Hawaii for 2 weeks… for work. Can you believe that? Damn. Why can’t I ever get gigs like that? Granted, she’s a nurse, and has to go train some other nurses who will be working for us out of Honolulu, but surely they need some kind of IT support. Something must go horribly wrong on the technical side while she’s there. Hmmm…
My gut tells me that they will not be able to power up their new PCs correctly once they get there. My gut also tells me that they will need IT support to replace all the memory that was taken out magically disappeared before their PCs were shipped out. Aloha!

Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue came out this week with Beyonce on the cover. Not bad! Not bad at all! Apparently they are doing some kind of music theme in this issue. Otherwise Beyonce on there wouldn’t make much sense, would it?
I hear there is a picture with a supermodel and her iPod. And that’s it! Nothing else. Not sure if that shot alone is worth checking out the issue. I will do my duty and investigate this, so that we may all sleep better.

I’ll admit it. I have never liked Carlos Mencia. Ask my buddy Rich. He would go on and on about how great Carlos Mencia is. I remember giving his show a chance and thinking what crap it was. Mind of Mencia? This was the best that Comedy Central could do after Dave Chapelle left them high and dry? Please.
Anyway, there is video out on the web showing Joe Rogan (Fear Factor guy) confronting Carlos Mencia (or should I say ‘Ned’) about how Mencia has been stealing material from other comics, including George Lopez. Apparently this has been happening for quite some time! And I have to tell you, it was awesome seeing Mencia squirm on stage trying to play it off. Dude is a thief! You can see the video below.
My buddy Brian makes an extremely good point: Joe Rogan is a comedian? Never thought of him as funny. But the video is comedy gold!

A friend just sent this to me. I *heart* this show. Thanks Jenny!
To those of you that put a lot of stock in today, I wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day. For those of you like me that realize this was a manufactured holiday by the corporate world to suck more money out of our wallet and at the same time cause us unnecessary stress, Happy Sucker’s Day.
Here’s a nice little rant from a writer on MSN.com. Why she LOVES Valentine’s Day.
