We're taking bets that it is hard to say sorry and more...

Here are a few random thoughts for the last few days...

* I need to apologize to Sprint PCS and the Sprint guy with the bus. They finally had a commercial that actually made me want to buy their phones. (I'm not going to, but I would consider them now.) It is the true to life 20 minutes about my mother's cat commercial. I would argue that conversation would make most people want to get off the phone as soon as possible whether you were out of minutes or not. Plus the guy has the perfect voice to emphasize the ridiculousness of cats, er I mean his mother. Definitely a laugh out loud commercial.

* Jose Canseco is really enhancing his 15 minutes of steriod fame with an appearence on the next Surreal Life. Maybe he will hook-up with Omarosa. Too bad they couldn't get Mark McGwire to appear on the show with him. It would be riveting television watching Mark plot Jose's murder with secret phone calls to Sammy Sosa.

* It seems that we have forgotten what Rest in Peace means. It is my hope that Terri Schiavo is going to be argued about for the next 12 months. Media coverage has been sickening enough as it is. I would even rather day to day info about Britney's supposed alien pregnancy than more stuff about a woman that has suffered enough.

* Giving birth is hard enough, but having to do it in a car and then drive to the hospital yourself takes the cake. Oh but wait the police are pulling you over at gunpoint. Ummm has this lady ever heard of an ambulance or the police. Pretty courageous, but at the same time there are some serious issues here.

* Not to say McDonald's has this much power, but is it a coincidence that Josh McRoberts won the MVP at the McDonald's High School All-Star Game. I am sure that Ronald is smiling his McAss off. :)

* If you do not watch the TV shows Lost and 24 you are really missing riveting television. It has been many years since I watched a TV show and actually said "Holy Shit!!! I can't believe that happened!!!" I did that each day this week and I heard 24's show this week is going to be even crazier.

We're taking bets that if I could hit her one more time I would...

Britney Spears has officially deteriorated to the most spoiled white trash person on the planet. I know you are probably thinking, "What about Paris Hilton?" Well yes she is as white trash as one of the people interviewed on TV after a hurricane, but not as bad as Britney. Britney is a complete freak.

She married Kevin Federline, who spends more time in his underwear than Jenna Jameson does naked. He is going to ride her coattails and fade into the sunset like J. Lo's ex-Chris Judd. They have become the King & Queen of white trash. Although he is much like Queen Elizabeth's husband was... just there to look pretty and dance.

Now she was quoted in Allure magazine talking about marriage.

"Everyone thinks you get married, and that's it, but you're still going to fight. You're still going to get mad and say, 'Pick up your damn shirt'. It's just that young thing of you know, 'Where do you want to eat tonight? Who's going to cook?' It becomes this whole thing of figuring each other out in the house. Before we got married, we were on tour, and we were just like kids, ordering room service, saying, 'Let's go out tonight'. And then all of a sudden you get home and you have the kids, you have the diapers, get the dogs to the vet. It's this whole reality, you know."Of course, Spears, unlike most newlyweds, can pay someone to take care of all that reality stuff ("Oh, I do," she says," but I like to be involved with it too.")

Why is she still talking like a ten year old? What gets me is that she says that she "has the kids" even though they are her husband's kids whom he left when the mother was 8 months pregnant with the second child. Plus you know that she isn't involved in the getting the diapers or taking the dog to the vet. I bet that she just buys a new dog instead of taking it to the vet and she lets Kevin shoot firecrackers at the sick dog.

Why is it that most teen stars have become creepy stars in their twenties? Christina became "Dirty", Lindsay hasn't even reached her twenties and she is sluttier than a dog in heat, and you know that Hilary Duff has something in her closet when she turns 21. Thank God for my favorite pop star Kelly Clarkson. She has shaken off that wholesome image and become a little edgier. Plus she is wicked hot. I can even forgive her for From Justin to Kelly.

Mine are Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Tara Reid and Kevin Federline. The five of them could keep comedians like Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy in business for years. Imagine the jokes... Kevin Federline is so white trash he calls Britney "Dude" - Britney Spears is so white trash that if she offered you the shirt off her back you would say no thank you and give her a blanket to cover up.

I am just curious who are your top 5 White Trash people?

We're taking bets that women can be evil...

Holy Crap!!! I never intended to watch the Bachelor last night, but I did because of all the crazy women. First off the Bachelor is Charlie O'Connell who is a creepier version of his brother Jerry. He has one of those butt chins which are very unfortunate. The women think he is very attractive and they are all fighting for his affections.

They changed the rules this year. Which I didn't know having never watched but it definitely made it interesting. Some of the women stripped to their underwear and at least one of them made out with him in their initial meeting. They fought to go on "dates", called each other sluts and broke every rule they could. One lady dropped out because she was uncomfortable and then came back for the "Rose Ceremony" where she was attacked by the other women. The "Rose Ceremony" is where most of the fireworks are and I think they will be attacking each other each week.

Have all the shows been like this? It is a shame women have to fight like this over guys. The worst part is that it almost never works out. I am not sure if I will watch again since it is on during 24, but it definitely made for an interesting second option. Anyone else see this show? If you did tell me what you thought.

WTBT Volume Seven

We're taking bets that...

* if you didn't watch NCAA basketball this weekend you missed some of the best basketball in years.
* you are tired of the NASINEX bee and his sexy Spanish accent.
* the LA Lakers will finish below the LA Clippers this year.
* you have to be careful if you are the Easter Bunny.
* you can't believe the baseball season is already here.
* John Travolta should have never made Be Cool but at least it was better than Battleship Earth.
* it doesn't matter that she coached women Pat Summitt might be the best college coach ever.
* sometimes priest should just retire. Especially if it takes them more than one minute to find where they are during the service.
* the Yankees should shake hands with the Red Sox next week because it is the closest they are going to get to being champions.
* you can't wait for Dane Cook's new CD.
* it is a very rare season when the Hockey East is not in the Frozen Four.
* Ashton Kutcher was not that funny on SNL last week.
* Christina Milan is wicked hot and she is the only reason to see Be Cool.
* even if you tried you couldn't make this shot in 20 tries.
* you are so glad we are changing the clocks next weekend. Hopefully it will stop further snowstorms.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Marisa Tomei. Can't believe she won an Oscar. She is currently part of the new Hanes commercial campaign. Hopefully she will make a Teri Hatcher like comeback and be part of the new older hotties.

We're taking bets that there is nothing like city living...

I have moved to the farthest planet from the sun. Well not really, but the suburbs feel like that a little bit to me. Have you ever tried to find an Auto Parts Store open after 7pm in the Suburbs? It is practically impossible not only to find one open, but to even find one period. I guess since the middle class have good cars they don't fix their own.

The Suburbs after 7 pm can be a little bit like a morgue at night... dark, deserted and creepy. Who needs tampons and enemas at 3 am? Well I am not really sure, but I sure would like the option. I guess 13 years of city living have made me a little dependant on late-night services. Thankfully I am moving back to a city by August.

We're taking bets that it was a rickety van...

I am currently working on a project at work involving vehicles. All of the vehicles in Facilities Mgmt need some sort of work on them. At a minimum they need new inspection stickers. So I drove one of the box trucks(Think U-Haul truck) to Springfield Lincoln Mecury for an inspection sticker.

Upon entering the vehicle that isn't used in the winter months by the Glaziers I found out that the seatbelt did not work. That should have been my first sign to leave the truck where it was. The truck shuttered when it started and after warming up for about ten minutes had trouble getting over the 1 inch by 2 inch patch of ice that was in front of the truck. I floored it and it went over the ice at about 3 miles an hour. I then pushed on the gas and got the truck to go 5 miles an hour to the front gate. I waited until there was absolutely no cars coming in either direction and headed onto the street. I got the car to go to 20 miles an hour and came to a red light. The breaks didn't work so well. After slamming them to the floor the truck stopped just before the middle of the intersection.

Did I mention that I needed to go 7 more miles? I got the truck to go a maximum of 35 miles per hour and left myself 500 yards before every time I had to stop. The truck also liked to shake while it idled like a vibrating bed in a cheesy motel. Luckily I made it to the Service Center and told Big Mike (Not really his nickname, but that's what I like to call him) that he needs to do some major work or invite me back to take a sledgehammer to it. I risk my life everyday for the City of Springfield. Isn't it great I left Lowell? :)

I hopefully made a couple of you laugh with this story.

We're taking bets that the water is too cold to go in...

CBS is the #1 station in America right now. With that said do they believe that we will watch any crap that we put on? Sunday night they played Spring Break Shark Attack. They promoed the hell out of it during basketball coverage and the big ploy was that Shannon Lucio of "The OC" was in it. I am pretty sure that is not a good thing.

Did anyone watch it? How the hell did imdb users rate it 7.1? Did 9 computer geeks watch it and see cleavage for the first times in their lives? Were they crazy sharks attracted to No-Ad suntan oil? Could they smell the testosterone in the water and therefore easily attack innocent males? If you see 50+ sharks in the water don't you think it is time to get out?

Remember back when made for TV movies were about popular TV teens at camp getting into trouble. Are those shows only on Disney Channel anymore? I bet there was not one awkward moment with a nerdy kid. I bet that you didn't almost see boobies of the beautiful blond. I say that we need to bring back fun made for TV movies with Chad Michael Murray and Rachel Bilson as camp counselors. That would get people watching. Not killer sharks attacking Spring Breakers. Unless they killed Mischa Barton and Hilary Duff because they really bug me.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Mary McCormack of the West Wing. She was Howard Stern's wife in Private Parts. She is extremely underrated and very beautiful.

* although no one is watching The Contender is actually a pretty tv show.
* Mark McGwire looked like a fool at the Senate hearings.

* the Ring 2 wasn't as good as the first. Yeah right, like I would know I couldn't watch 5 minutes of the first one.

We're taking bets that sometimes it sucks to be me...

Two plane trips... twice my luggage was lost. It seems like something that could only happen to me. I seem to live under some sort of unlucky star. Now that I am back from vacation hopefully I will turn it around.

Monday, March 14, 2005

We're taking bets that I am a lot like a Focker...

I am currently in Miami with out any luggage except what I carried on and that isn't much. This has definitely put a killing to any plans that I may have had. I broke the rule that you should always pack at least one change of clothes in your carry on luggage. Stupid USAirways. They left the bag(along with 30 others) in Philadelphia and did not load it on the plane to Fort Lauderdale. Now it is "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" with my luggage. At least I got them to pay for my ride to Miami. I now am going to walk around Miami looking for some new clothes. At least I am on vacation and it is 80 degrees here. :)

Wow!!! Jessica has three great movies coming out in the next three months. She looks wicked hot in each and every one of them. She actually can act and is much more than just a pretty face. Let us not forget how incredible she was in "Honey". Yes I watched it and so should you.

We're taking bets that riding in a truck bed in 30 degree weather sucks...

I am outraged. I was on my way to my parents from Springfield when I saw a woman driving a Ford F-250. It looked brand new and I was checking it out as it passed me going at least 75 on the highway. Then I noticed in the truck bed a dog(looked like a German Shepard) sitting in the back huddled against the back window.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? That is pure animal cruelty. It was extremely windy and had to be below freezing yesterday. It made me want to stop the car on the highway and take the dog away from her. Is the interior of your car that important to you? Some people have zero common sense. That lady deserved to be forced to walk 5 miles in a blinding snowstorm with no coat on. Thank you for listening to my venting. Please be nice to animals. At the very least keep them in your car if it is cold out and you need take them somewhere.

We're taking bets you need to hear this band...

Fortunately tonight I was stranded in Western Mass due to the massive amounts of snow we got here. I say fortunately because I visited my best friend at WNEC and they had a band called Raining Jane playing which wasn't being cancelled.

They are four women from California that are fantastic musicians. (And each of them were hot in their own way.) They played and sang some unbelievable music. They use a cello and a cajon
which everyone needs to see being played. The drummer, Mona was great and she also was hilarious.

It was mostly their own, but they did a fantastic cover of Ani Difranco's "Both Hands" and a great job at covering the Beatles "Something". Their own music was wonderful. They did a song called "Big Girl" that had to do with no matter what a girl looks like she can feel like a big girl sometimes. They also do a great song that deals with internet love. (It is very funny.)

Everyone should take a listen to their music. I think that I know at least two people who would really like them in Shannon Seidel and Sara Strauhal. (I know you both like music & figured you guys should get a named heads up in this blog. Assuming you read this.) Hopefully this blog will enrich everyone out their musically. :)

WTBT Volume Five...

We're taking bets that...

* circus would be a kind way to describe the Michael Jackson trial.
* Ohio State showed why college basketball is the most exciting sport by beating #1 Illinois with a three point buzzer beater.
* the Colorado University President should have resigned a lot earlier than this.
* Kurt Warner is going to do very well with the Arizona Cardinals and their young speedy receivers.
* Salem State better figure out how to fix this quick.
* it was nice seeing the Red Sox turn a triple play with ex-Lowell Spinner Hanley Rameriz starting it off.
* you can say what you want about UMass Lowell, but UMass Amherst has more violence like the stabbing that happened last weekend.
* the Big East is going to be better off without BC in it.
* all this controversy with Syria has you worried that the US problems with the Middle East may never get better.
* only Bill Simmons could compare U2 and Sports.
* US mens tennis keeps falling further and further off the radar screens of the everyday sports fan especially after losing to Croatia.
* just reading this story will make you cringe.
* Tiger Woods is back and the rest of the golf world should be worried.
* this is a bad idea. Someone is going to get killed. NYC is going to try to count their homeless with 2,000 volunteers going to every dark corner of the 5 boroughs tracking people.
* Sylvester Stallone's "The Contender" is going to be griping drama.
* you never thought that The Pacifier would ever be number one at the box office.
* North Carolina put on an impressive final two minutes against Duke. I HATE DUKE.
* Martha "Bad Ass" Stewart is ready to bring da funk to home decorating.
* Drew Bledsoe is going to look good with a Star on his helmet.
* Anna Nicole Smith and her breasts have done it again.
* you cannot wait for St. Patrick's Day and a little bit of Guiness. :)

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

WTBT Hottie of the Week Katherine Heigl

She is one of the stars of ABC's new Grey's Anatomy. She will definitely be one of the big reasons to watch. Many of you may remember her from the WB's Roswell. She definitely is making a movie into superstardom.

We're taking bets that PETA will be mad...

Bubba the lobster died yesterday. It is a crying shame. He wasn't going to be eaten but rather transferred to the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum. The People for Eating Tasty Animals(PETA) had put a bid in to buy the animal to eat it. They were denied and now they must be pissed. Though I think that would have required a ton of butter and a pot bigger than a normal lobster pot.

I wonder what would happen if the two PETA groups got into a fight. I think that would be an interesting Celebrity Deathmatch. Just a thought.
