Happy Holidays

Tis the eve of Christmas, and near the dawn of  new year. I would like to send my regards to all celebrating this time of year.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

End of the fantasy football season this week as well.  I got shafted Tim's league, but I should win my money league.  Of course now I've jinxed myself. 

Super Tuesday

Well, my last post seemed accurate at the time. Now that Super Tuesday is upon us it seems voters are making it to the polls in near record numbers. I say this of course based on the opinions of Fox News and CNN, so I guess we'll see about that when all is said and done. All I know is the polling locations here are pretty mobbed, and everyone I know that has voted has also bitched about the wait time. I took the easy route and did my duty absentia, with my handy absentee ballot. The only things that sucks about absentee voting is the lack of the super cool "I voted" sticker. I was the only asshole around here not one.

"I'm just, not happy" is the most important quote I got from the phone conversation that just ended. Poor Jenn, she's got a whole bunch of crap on her plate right now. She'll be fine though, she's a strong, smart and beautiful woman. Push on through Jenn, I'm in your corner.

And by the bye, the rumors about me and that one person the night of Halloween Eve are absolutely untrue. What a fucking party though, caskets as coolers, smoke machines galore, movie prop blood and weapons. What a tremendous night that was.

Get out and vote California and Hawaii, and the other states that still have time left. John Kerry.

There are elections next week?

Not that I really didn't know, but I don't really feel like the elections are next Tuesday. Maybe it's the crap choices, or the choice baseball that's been on lately, but what gives? I am voting absentee this year as I am still registered in NY as a voter, so SoCal can kiss my ass. There are all these stupid ass propositions on the ballot here, like legalizing casinos for big companies (so there would be like 8 casinos in the LA/Orange County/San Bernadino County area). That's cool, but also not cool. Vegas is Vegas, lets keep it that way, and for Christ sake it's only a 55 minute plane flight away from here, and a dirt cheap flight no less. Then there is some shit about stem cell research, which is actually a big deal and could set precedent accross the country.

Enough of that rant, I must now give my congratulations to the Boston Red Sox for becoming the 2004 World Series Champions. What a team, from top to bottom. A great job shutting down the Cardinals and their bats. Not even to mention the Yankees surprise. I know the Mets will not be in contention next year (unless some important moves are made), but I look forward to another great season come April.

Happy Halloween suck asses, and good luck to BigWorm and the marauders and there exponentially superd choice of costume this year. Here's to a repeat!

Damn I'm awesome.

It might rain in Southern California

The eve of Friday night is upon me. It's only 5:33 and I'm already focusing on the task at hand, going out in a few hours. My roomate is once again dating a bartender. He has got to stop this trend. Of course I don't mind the free drinks that come with. But these bartenders all end up being complete bitches, or absolute morons, I'll let you decide which is worse. This one pretty cool thus far, and is very Betty Paige. Of course we will be going to her bar tonight. The bar is pretty cool, but that's not the vibe I'm feeling tonight. But it'll do anyways.

This has been an uncommonly long week, and I don't really appreciate that. I was able to catch some quality baseball though. Neither the NLCS nor the ALCS have been a let down. Although it would be sweet to see Clemens vs. the Yanks in the World Series (and Pettite although not playing), I am rooting for the Red Birds. There are some deserving players on that team. The Yanks - Sox has been awesome as expected. Close games that have come down to some critical decisions and plays.
