Ron Artest tells a great story

Apparently, his friend was once pierced in the heart by a table leg. Really.


Changes to come

I'm in the middle of talks with some friends about how to amp up this blog... we're looking at changing everything, the name, the style and adding a few more writers.

For now, listen to the man Steve Jordan on the drums.

Best meal I've had all year

Best meal of the year. Lemon caper chicken, pesto pasta, assorted greens and veggies... day after Thanksgiving. Priests really are the best cooks.

I hate American cars


1995 Chevy Lumina - died on the highway
1993 Buick Regal - died
2001 Chevy Prizm - terrible car, en route to death. The thing was even made at a Toyota Corolla plant with a Corolla body... and still the US found a way to fuck it up.

Meanwhile all of the foreign cars my family has owned (01 Toyota Sierra, 98 Honda Civic, 06 Kia Rio) have all been NICE and RELIABLE cars.

Don't get me wrong... I'd love to support American automakers. But this track record is just horrible. Until Ford/GM/Chrysler shows me something, I'll stay with the foreigners.

WITHDRAWAL

I lost my god damn mind last week.

After completely switching my medication from Effexor to Wellbutrin, I enjoyed all of the symptoms of a heroin fiend at rehab. Cold/hot, tingling in hands and feet, chronic headaches, dizziness and constant nausea. Awesome. This went on for five days...

Pretty much one of the worst weeks of my life. I'm behind in everything, including the classes that I wasn't doing that well in to begin with.

One good thing did come into my life - Apocalypse Now Redux. What a great movie.

Gopher football player arrested in front of pizza temple


Look man, I don't care if you start a fight at Pizza Hut, Dominos, Little Caesars, whatever.

Just don't bring that shit to Mesa.

The best pizza-by-the-slice parlor I've ever been to had freshman Gophers DB Michael Carter fighting someone outside of it last weekend. He resisted cops' attempts to pat him down, and probably kept a few people from getting their damn slice.

Mesa is the greatest pizza experience I've ever seen, and young freshmen that don't know what's up need to educate themselves quickly - respect the temple.

The epitomé of my hate for Brett Favre.


This is why I hate him.

What follows is an excerpt from page 65 of the book "Favre" by Brett Favre & Bonita Favre.

"I wouldn't waste my time playing somewhere else. It doesn't matter how much money I was offered, either. I'm loved here in Green Bay, and I love Green Bay, too. If I went to another team I'm sure I'd step out onto the field for the first time, in someone else's uniform, and say to myself, What in the hell are you doing? Get your butt out of here! Playing somewhere else? It will never happen. This is where my family is. This is where my heart is. This is where I belong."

Slug from Atmosphere

This guy really rubbed me the wrong way a few years back at a First Ave show... he seemed smug and too cynical.

Regardless, this freestyle is sick. Note the wigger DJ Peter Parker...
