1) It’s the beginning of the end for me. I found Firefly at Jewel this weekend. http://www.fireflyvodka.com/ I had started hearing rumblings about this sweet tea infused vodka that was available in the Carolinas a few years ago. I had my first experience with it at Ace and Super’s wedding back in May but switched over to Makers’ pretty early.
This weekend I crushed 4 Firefly John Dalys before I jumped on the train and headed downtown. I had a huge smile on face, which was 50% from the booze and 50% from the 20 or so 19 year old girls in the car with me.
So now there is a handle in my freezer taunting me and promising fun in the future.
2) Alex Rodriguez is filthy. Since Barry Bonds retired there are only two must-see events in baseball, every ARod and Pujols at bat. And while I hate the 2009 version of the Cubs because they are anti-fun and field a lineup of carcinogens, will never be able to enjoy the success of a St. Louis Cardinal.
But watching ARod from the right side is the only real joy that baseball still gives me. Even though he is playing hurt, he has a good OBP and great power numbers after missing the first 1/3 of the season. It’s his hands and balance that make him such a special hitter. The guy always seems to have his weight shift correct and his handed stay back like a coiled rattler. He can hit great pitching and always is one pitch away from going deep because he can wait so long and can avoid guessing.
I couldn’t care less about steroid usage. If I was smart enough to find out where to get them and rich enough to pay for them, I would have absolutely taken them in high school. My eyes would have been as yellow as Ben Johnson’s in Seoul and I would have worn t-shirts advertising how much I could power clean while listening to Pantera and Metallica on my discman. Furthermore, I agree with Bill James that within the next ten years you are going to see more “civilians” taking HGH to fight the effects of aging and maximize the potential of the human body.
3) My new Cutler and Fencik jersey showed up this week. I had to upgrade from the cheap replica crap to quality jerseys with stitched letters/numbers and to have home and away threads.
Bearsdom is head over heels in love with our new triggerman and even if our D sucks balls like last year, we will make the playoffs. If Tommie Harris is alive this year, we can challenge the Giants.
4) So proud of The Vogs. Wrote a touching and funny remembrance and delivered it with poise, emotion, and maturity.
5) I want charges brought against Kevin Gregg, not really sure for what but maybe being forced to watch him pitch might be able to be classified as being “held against my will.”
6) Finally reading Leigh Montville’s book about Ted Williams. So far it is great. I like that the Splinter hated Boston almost I much as I do.
7) Really pissed off that Kix and Ronnie broke up
8) Been watching old episodes of the OC on the CW’s On Demand channel. Peter Gallagher and Rachel Bilson belong on TV 24/7.
9) Fired up to hear that Matt Saracen is getting two more episodes in season 4 of FNL. Still super pissed off at Buddy for not standing up for Eric and I have completely abandoned the Panthers for Eric’s new team. The only way I switch is if Timmy Riggins is granted another year.
10) I wish that I was surprised the Pelosi and Hoyer were allowed to openly lie in their USA Today op-ed. Loved the Specter got yelled at.
