Random Thoughts Dump...

Time for a content dump…Periodically, it is good to “dump” the contents of your head out, so you have room for more random and pointless thoughts to form. And, yes, I do use the verb ‘dump’ for its similarity to another usage ;)

So, on with the random thoughts…

· Yesterday was Mother’s Day. And I made Mother’s Day my bitch! I didn’t have much money, but I bought a small gift from myself and a smaller one from the rugrat. Then, I got up with the rugrat at 7:30 am and let Mommy sleep in. I dragged the rugrat to Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts so Mommy could have a special breakfast which we then served in bed. I changed diapers when it wasn’t my turn. I made a special Mother’s Day dinner, including that ‘healthy mac and cheese’ which is such a pain in the ass to make. So, I think I did pretty well. Of course, there’s no way to tell…Mommy always says the same thing if you was… “Yes, it’s fine.”

· The Giants had three games in NY this weekend, against the Mets. I couldn’t afford to go, which upset me greatly. However, after watching the games, not so much. The weather wasn’t great…very cold with wind gusts up to 123492731312 miles per hour. The games were good tight quality baseball but the Mets won two of em with walkoffs and got a lot of lucky home runs. (Jonathan Sanchez gave up 3 hr, 2 to Ike Davis, a lefty. They were his first hits to a lefty all year (not hrs, HITS). You wanna tell me a deal with Satan wasn’t involved with that?) I was glad we got the lucky hr win on Sunday, even if the dub couldn’t be Timmy's. But, in hindsight, I’m glad I didn’t go.

· Listening to XM’s Faction (52) today. I thought it was gonna be Gary music, but it isn’t. It’s ACTION SPORTS!!!!! Music…which is kinda funny as a genre but entertaining to listen to. One thing I've learned...Action Sports enthusiasts REALLY like Cypress Hill.

· ESPN Monday Night Baseball: Yankees @ Tigers. ESPN Wednesday Night Baseball: Yankees @ Tigers. It’s really really too bad that there aren’t any other teams playing tonight or Wednesday that ESPN could show. Damn shame, really.

· My friend G-money posted a picture of himself and his new girlfriend on Facebook. It bothered me a lot. Not because I am jealous of him cuz she is like crazy insane hot. Not because I am worried about him because he has a slight history of taking girls’ crap and this one is hot enough that even I’d take her crap (Of course, I don’t KNOW her, so it’s possible that she doesn’t give much crap…you know me, I worry.). No, the reason the picture bothered me is because he appears to be wearing some sort of European Jersey…perhaps even Soccer! Soccer!! Really? It’s scary seeing that on someone you care about. That shit’ll shake you to the core… (I'd post the picture but I worry about privacy concerns, so I'll let him post it in the comments, if he wants...)

· Dear Modern Musical Artists: Why do you keep putting the sound of sirens in the background of your songs? Often, people listen to music whilst driving and, as an Asshole Driver, the last thing one needs is fuckin’ sirens coming from somewhere. So, cut that shit out, seriously…

· Driving to work this morning, I passed a beautiful, gleaming brand-new-looking black audi with a strange piece of metal sticking out the window. I swung around the other side out of curiosity and saw, through the tinted windows, another license plate in the cab. It appears that the metal was the end of a back bumper from another black car. I closed my eyes and prayed (Nay, begged God) that it not be a black dude driving the car but I sped up and checked and sure enough, it was. K

· The receptionist at work announces for people over the intercom. She uses the same script…for example, if she called for me, it would be, “Mr. War, please call extension 7036. Mr. Gen War, extension 7036.” Whenever, I hear this…when she says the last name, I immediately picture that she is going to ask for a celebrity. Like, she says, “Mr. DeNiro, call extension…” and I think it’ll be “Mr. Robert DeNiro.” It never is the actual celebrity name but I think it’s natural to mentally guess the celebrity. Well, for SOME of them. I think I’m probably the only one who thinks “RICHARD!!!” when she asks for “Mr. Greico…”

· I think it’s awesome that we live in a time when men can wear their hair long and have it not cast aspersions on their character. And I am appreciative for those pioneers like Snoop Dogg and Big Time Timmy Jam who take the lead on this. So, it really pisses me off when people like Justin Bieber have to insult us all and fly in the face of this hard won and fought freedom by looking like an idiot…I'm #justsayin'

· Yeah, I did the front of the main entrance (back side) of the Crossgate Commons Walmart to the entrance light to 90E on Washington Ave in 3:15 (three minutes and 15 seconds.) No shit.

· We’re building a playground for a 2 year old behind my house this weekend. If you’re bored or love construction, come over Saturday morning some time. Of course, I know that the 2 of 11 of you that might genuinely be interested would face an insurmountable obstacle of geography but at least I can tell the wife I asked...
