Keurig has made me a better person

July 21st, 2009 No comments

While I’m on the subject of morning fixes , let me also say that not only has the Keurig instant coffee maker I got for father’s day increased my caffeine dependency, it has made me a better person.

Best gift I ever got

If I had to feed a 3 year old + an 8 month old AND clean the coffee pot & filter, measure the grinds, etc before getting my fix, I’d almost certainly be beating both of these kids right now.

Now where is the damn dog and why isn’t she eating all these cheerios James threw on the floor?

Tough call

July 21st, 2009 No comments

Can’t figure out who’s nastier – me before the morning coffee or my 8 month old James before his morning bottle. Happiest baby ever except for waking up and going to bed… damn does he get PO’d. Also can’t figure out why James insists on waking up at 6 am no matter what time I go to bed.

Daycare

June 6th, 2009 No comments

While I’m on here killing time, I’d like to point out that there are no bigger germ factories on the face of the earth than day care centers. My two kids have been “institutionalized” for a month or two now (and only part time 2 or 3 days a week at that) and both of them have brought home some different bug every week so far I think.

The ripoff prices they charge you to lock your kids in a broom closet for the day should at least include one of these for each kid:

Dead dog slow

June 6th, 2009 No comments

So my web host Yahoo forced me to switch to using WordPress to manage this awesome blog. I gather WordPress is what all the cool kids use to manage their blogs and I’ve always wanted to be cool so maybe this will help.

But while WordPress is pretty slick, it is also dead dog slow. Only time will tell but it’s so bad it may drop my prolific blog rate of 8 posts a year to just 7. I’m far too busy and important to wait longer for this stuff to load.

Remember kids: racism bad, hating whitey good!

May 28th, 2009 No comments

Imagine this scenario… the new supreme court nominee is white. Then let’s reverse “white” and “hispanic” in her qoute, i.e.:

“I would hope that a wise white woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a hispanic male who hasn’t lived that life.”

Think our imaginary Sally Smith would still be getting nominated? But it’s cool for Sonia Sotomayor.

Remember kids: racism bad, hating whitey good!

Racist Bitch
Look at those smiles – damn it’s fun hating on whitey!

A good read at the Wall Street Journal… to hell with rule of law – what does your interpretation of the constitution matter when you have the “richness of experience” of growing up hispanic?!?!?

1+1 does not equal Hedman

So my Islanders haven’t had a decent scoring threat since the days of the mighty mini Ziggy Palffy. They’ve been last and 2nd to last in goals scored the last two years. Their scoring leader in ’09 netted a whopping 18. Now they own the #1 overall pick in a draft that features, among others, a guy who has been a phenom pretty much his whole life, broke Wayne Gretzky’s OHL scoring record as a 16 year old and continues to impress both in juniors and international play – John Tavares.

John Tavares

Yet the debate is underway about what they should do with the #1 pick….

What am I missing? Don’t be dumb or overthink things… just take Tavares for the love of all things holy.

While I’m on the subject of potential dumb moves by the Isles, I took a few minutes to put together a list of their “all time hits”. At various points during the fire sale days, the Islanders swapped: Zdeno Chara, Jason Spezza, Olli Jokinen, Roberto Luongo, Brian McCabe, Todd Bertuzzi and Dany Heatley for Alexei Yashin, Mark Parrish, Oleg Kvasha, Trevor Lindor and Rick DiPietro. Think about that…  a still in its prime starting forward line of Spezza-Jokinen-Heatley with Chara+McCabe on D and Luongo in net for a can’t stay healthy DiPietro and a bunch of bums.

If they don’t take Tavares, it just might be the last straw for me.

Kowtowing to the world…

Between making for of the mentally retarded on Jay Leno(wtf?!?!?) to kissing the royal rear of the king of Saudi Arabia, it’s been a fun 100 days for BO.

Now at this point I don’t anyone is going to argue dearly departed GWB did a bang up job the entire time he was in office.

But c’mon now, can you imagine how he would have been crucified if HE had said “I bowled like a retard” or bowed to the king of some arab nation the only thing we get from is oil and terrorists? It’s weird… it’s almost like the media is giving BO a free pass for some reason… hmmm.
