Juno You Know

In a time where it seems slap-stick comedy is all that is made anymore, Juno delivers a fresh mature method of delivering those "lol's". The cast performs superbly making it feel like your in the movie itself while the clever singer/songwriter music sparks a cheerful note within the audience. If you like Indie type movies, you'll love this one.

7.5/10

It's a sad night...

The great game of football has lost a great deal of class tonight. In case you didn't know the Patriots have gone 16-0 in the regular season. They did it on no class, no morals, no coaching, and of all things, no respect of the game. The Patriots got caught cheating and still were allowed to play.

The worst thing about this whole deal is that when the Patriots fail to win the Super Bowl I have to hear a bunch of Boston Fuchs going "Ey, wat da fuch is your problem, at least dem Patriots went 16-0, what did ur team do?" all that is in a Boston accent by the ways.

Lets be honest, the Patriots have no chance of winning the Super Bowl and if you think they do, your on crack and you haven't seen their last few games and who's in the playoffs. I'll be surprised if they even make it through the AFC.

Go stick a Boston Cream Pie up your ass Tom Brady!

Myspace Backgrounds

I've been pretty bored lately taking care of my mom sitting at home so I've gone ahead and made some plaid backgrounds for Myspace or whatever else u might want them for. Anyways feel free to help your self to some of these. Just click on it, then when it opens up right click and select save as.

I got robbed

Ok, not literally but I did get robbed. I was getting ready to leave the Forum Shops with Adam and I realized that I didn't have any bills smaller than a 20 to give the valet. I decided to go back in and get some change. I ended up buying the smallest scoop of gelatto so I could break my 20.

I must admit, gelatto did sound but it wasn't worth it. The gelatto had been refrozen and you could tell by the gritty ice crystals present. This didn't bother me as bad as the price did. I paid $8.63 for this frozen ounce of milk! I got robbed

History of a different kind

Who cares that the Patriots might go 16-0, they have already made history as the most classless bunch of people to ever put on a uniform. No the history I am talking about is all about watching the game. For the first time since Super Bowl 1, the NFL will be showing a game on more than one network at the same time. This weekends game between the Patriots and the Giants will be shown on the NFL network, CBS, and NBC. Who cares if the Patriots are going for 16-0, we all want them to lose, this just sounds important. I mean think about it, how often is anything shown live on more than one channel? You have presidential debates, breaking news, and...and...and thats it.

Saturday 5:15pm Pacific Coast time, what channel will you watch it on?

Fantasy Football

Another year of fantasy football has come to an end. This year I took the gold and couldn't be any happier.As you can see there was a semifinal and a final match up. The road was difficult to say the least, after finishing the regular season at 11-3 the last two weeks became a tale of mental exhaustion. By the way I am the "Mo Birias".What you want to look at is the projected numbers for me and my opponent. Then just look at the top two players for my opponent. If you could have bet that Tony Romo and Randy Moss would have the worst weeks of the season together when I needed them to, the odds would have been 1,000,000 to 1. The real hero however was my kicker, Mason Crosby. For the championship I was the underdog againI don't know how I pulled this one out of the hat but somehow I did. From dropping Chicago's defense which had a great game to picking up Tennessee's defense who had an even better game. My kicker had a horrible game but his average for the last two weeks is still amazing. And Adrian Peterson of the Vikings, on my opponents team, having one of the worst games of his short carer.

The streak is over, no more second place!

You heard it here first

They just did a piece on Fox News of how the single scene in Saudi Arabia is now run by "Toothing". You can't make this stuff up. Just remember you heard about "Toothing" here first!

This is HI-larious

Apparently this has made it all the way to the Estonian news.

A man crashes his mini-van into a live taping of the evening news.

Heres the story

And here's the video, the guys reaction is priceless, and somewhat "fake" if you ask me.

No Country For Old Men

It's been a "Hot Ass Minute" since I've seen a movie of this caliber. In fact the last movie I saw of this caliber was Children Of Men. As good as that may sound, Children Of Men ended up loosing to The Departed which I thought was a far less superior movie. For that reason, I really hope that it does not follow the path that Children Of Men traveled.

No Country For Old Men is a movie that leaves the audience thinking throughout the movie and into the next day. It will have you at the edge of your seat and just as you are about to fall out of it, a perfect line or exchange puts your at ease. The Coen Brothers have outdone themselves with this movie. One might say it even resembles Fargo which was also a Coen Brothers superb, yet don't compare it for it itself is its own movie and in a class of it's own.

Theres a reason its #14 on IMDB's top 250. And theres a reason I give it a 9.6/10.

Moo Shu

It was about 5 years ago when my good friend Jack introduced me to Moo Shu. It was love at first taste but for some reason the pairings of tongue and Moo Shu have been few and far between. This changed today as Joel and I got Moo Shu not once, not twice, but three times from the same place. Okay, so maybe I lied, we only went twice but we were really considering going a third time and thats no joke.

Damn you Moo Shu and your delicious pancake wrapped medley!

A new way to fly

Im usually a fan of Southwest when it comes to flying, I mean uncomfortable seats, a few peanuts, half a drink, great rewards...who wouldn't be a fan. This time flying back from San Francisco Joel bought tickets from Virgin America so we tagged along. I can see this going big, and can't wait till it does. The seats are comfortable and stylish with black leather. The lighting, romantic yet erotic as subtle hints of black lights and red lighting ambiantly emit from the cabin. Each seat has its own tv with ample freebies of movies and tv shows, not to mention over 300MP3's available. A younger more hip crew of stewards make your flight enjoyable while a dressed down duo of pilots fly the less than 2 year old jets. Hands down in my opinion the coolest thing though was the Google provided maps which were accessible by the push of a button would show you your elevation, location, estimated millage remaining and speed at any moment.

Don't take my word for it, check them out for yourself. They advertise flights to San Francisco for $44.00, how can you pass that up.

(postblog) Popped my Cherry

It has been a year of firsts when it comes to professional sports for me. First my first NBA game, and now...my first NFL game. Joel and I had ventured up here to the bay area for one real reason...to go see the Colts play the Raiders and thats what we did. The game wasn't extremely eventful by any means but it was still an enjoyable experience. We did some tailgating before hand with some chicken & Apple Sausages and some garlic bread. Ya, thats right, garlic bread at a tailgate...heres an easy way to make it:

• Take a slice of Sourdough bread (your favorite bread will do as well) and generously spread margarine (more spreadable than butter) across.
• Take a scoop or two of minced garlic and spread across liberally.
  
• Place bread garlic side up directly on grill
• Allow to cook until slightly golden brown (bread can cook extremely fast depending on your fire, make sure it doesn't burn)
  
• Remove bread from heat and allow to cool
• Enjoy

Our seats to the game were pretty good, angled to the goal line about 30 rows up, 1st tier. They weren't right next to the field but hey no complaints here. Getting home on the other hand...quite the opposite. Of the 62,000 people there, about 20,000 had to take the BART. It took a good 30minutes to walk a total of 100 feet to get to the BART.

On the way to the game I saw this and thought it was pretty funny so I took a picture of it. Enjoy.

(postblog) Santarchy

Imagine seeing thousands of Santa's going from bar to bar just to drink...thats what Santarchy is all about.

Saturday was the annual Santarchy or SantaCon event in San Francisco. Joel, Witter and I dressed up like half-assed santas and joined in on the phone. We started at pier 39 in San Fran and boarded a ferry headed for the ghetto, Jack London Square in Oakland. The rest of the day was spent going from pub to pub to pub, when the rest of the santas were gearing up to head to Berkley, we decided to call it a day. We were home by 3 in the afternoon, Santarchy is no joke, you meet up at 8am and go all day.

The rest of the day was pretty chill, got some Buster's Cheesestakes and played some Simpson's Xbox 360.

Crazy Day

It's been a long day. Got up around 7:30 to pack for this trip to San Francisco, didn't leave till around noon. Took a long ride from Vegas to San Fran in a 2007 Corvette with Joel. It was like 2 Tiger Sharks in a sardine can. The funny thing is according to the manual, the Vette is only supposed to hold 400lbs of total weight (cargo + passenger), let me be the first to tell you the Vette can easily take more than 400lbs.

We get to Vallejo to drop off the Vette and all of a sudden the car won't shift into park, an hour later the Vette is sitting in the service bay of Chevy and we're in Brian Witter's Jeep heading into the city. Unload the goods and hit the local Italian joint around the corner to see the Giada look alike. Joel got his Anchor Steam and all was good. Tomorrow is some sort of Santa pub crawl, should be interesting.

I Am Legend

I've been waiting for this movie to come out for sometime now. I've never gone to a 11:59PM showing before but had to make an exception for this movie on 2 accounts:

1. It was being shown on the IMAX screen
2. I'm leaving for San Francisco tomorrow (today) in the wee hours of the morning

I went into the movie expecting a 10 however am disappointed to say that I believe I only received a 7 at max. The movie had its moments but over all I think there was a lot that could have been done differently. Aside from the theater being overly warm, watching a movie on the IMAX screen is out of this world. If they would show "You Got Served" on it, I would be there.

I hate to say it but the screen made the movie somewhat enjoyable. Not a movie I plan on seeing again but definitely worth seeing once.

I was going to come up with some fancy rating method like crowns or arrows or something, but I am not legend and I am tired so take it how it is 7.0/10

Last Night

Turned out pretty eventful for a Wednesday night. Met up with Adam and MMG n headed over to Sedona. Then to the Road Runner. Then we decided to meet up with Joel and some of his friends at the Suncoast to play some Bingo. Talk about fun. While waiting I hit another Royal Flush, 2nd in 2 weeks, this time on Nickels so it was only worth $200. Oh well, I'm not complaining.

Bingo on the other hand was somewhat of a disappointment. I had no idea what I was doing so I just gave the lady $50 and told her to hook it up. Next thing I know, I'm playing 84 cards. Good thing they have these new tablet like systems which allow you to do nothing but sit there and wait to yell "BINGO!" Somehow, I'm still trying to do the math on it but somehow, none of the 6 of us got a single win. There was maybe 30 people there for the 11pm game, and we had 6 people. A total of at least 200 cards between us 6, and not once did we win. It was still fun though and can't wait to do it again next Wednesday, this time I'm only going to spend $20. Who's in for next Wednesday?

And I thought I was bad

You don't have to be a football fan to know who Joe Namath is. If you live in America I would say 99% of everyone in this country has heard his name. I'm not here to tell you about his carer, no, I'm here to tell you that he is graduating. Thats right, Namath was 15 credits short of a degree when he left for the pros back in the day. He has since gone back to Alabama and taken classes to finish his degree. The legend was only 15 credits short, but took a staggering 5 years to earn those 15 credits. At a pace of 3 credits a year, I can say even I am better at something than Joe Namath.

On another note, Congratulations Joe.

Think about this...

A pine cone falls to the ground somewhere in the world every 0.24 seconds.

This is Bullshit

Can you believe that there is no flashlight in my parents house? None, Nada, Zip!

You know what else is bullshit? In 2004, $27 million worth of Wal-Mart gift cards expired unused! Thats right, Wal-Mart WAS GIVEN $27 million dollars ($27,000,000.00) for no good reason! "Pre-paid" gift cards should not expire! In October of this year Wal-Mart released the following:

its (Wal-Mart's) core low-to-middle-income customers "remain concerned about their finances, especially the cost of living," in light of the housing slowdown and a tighter credit market.

Well when you can somehow rationalize taking $27 million from your customers without return of a service or a good, how concerned can you really be.

Wal-Mart ought to be ashamed of themselves, and to think they claim to care about the community.

You have got to be kidding me

Im 23 and my mother just yelled at me because I have a beard. You think they would let me do whatever the fuck I want but no! My dad doesn't mine the beard, but hates it when I line up my chin, says either I cut it off or he'll do it for me when I'm sleeping. My mom doesn't mind when I line up my chin but when I have a beard she starts thinking I'm doing something illegal and putting my life and theirs at risk. I cant believe this. What the hell made me decide to move home again. Someone please remind me.

This is weird

So I've been looking at hats online lately, well right now I just found out that you can buy NFL (football) hats online at MLB.com ... baseball's official site...weird.

A Reminder

Fuck Tom Brady, Fuck Bill Belichick, and Fuck the Patriots!

I miss Portland

It hasn't even been 3 weeks yet but I miss good old PDX. I miss the fact that there was no tax, I miss the weather, I miss the roads, I miss the foods. Fuck I miss Portland.

I'm stuffed

Just filled up on some Amarillo Cheese Fries with no bacon and a 12oz San Antonio Sirloin cooked medium rare, served along side a baked potato with butter, sour cream and chives, and an all too perfect salad with ranch dressing.

You must be saying to yourselves right now "He must have had Lone Star"

You're right...I just had Lone Star...and it was spur kickin' good

Bullshit!

I'm getting sick and tired of these fucking Patriots who think they can go undefeated. Anyone who watched last nights game knows that this team is NOT who people think they are. The game was handed to them and everyone knows that, from stupid penalties to missed/wrong calls. You would think that after almost losing last week to the Eagles, the Pats would come out and want revenge. If thats the kind of ball you play you want when you revenge then your team sucks. The game was biased towards the Pats winning and no matter how great the Ravens played, you just knew somehow something would happen that would give the ball back to the Patriots. Ive been saying it since the beginning and I'm still going to say it. THE PATRIOTS WILL NOT GO UNDEFEATED!

The Steelers have been looking amazing lately, shutting down the passing of the Bengals just this past Sunday and they are playing for the post-season. We have all seen what happens when the Patriots try to run the ball and thats almost nothing. Steelers over Patriots 10,000,000 to 17.

Fuck the Patriots and Fuck Tom Brady!

Whoo Hoo!

For the first time in my life I hit a Royal Flush on those god damned video poker machines. My parents and I went to dinner at the Cortez Room in the Gold Coast. I had no intention of gambling but my dad did. So after dinner he put in $20 and lost, went and got some more money, put in $20 and it was taking forever so I asked to borrow $20. I lost it in a matter of seconds. After a minute I asked for $20 more. He had owed me money because I had payed for dinner, so anyways I get down to about $4.00 left in the machine when I hold a Jack and Ten of Spades. Hit the deal button and I swear to god that it took about 2 minutes for the King to turn over, then the Queen, then the Ace...it was like it was in slow motion. I know your supposed to act like it happens all the time, like when you hit a home run in baseball, but the first time is the first time is the first time. And the first time is special so the first thing I could get myself to do was grab my dad and put him in a head lock. So ya, I hit my first royal tonight and it took a good 30minutes to collect my lavish winnings. All $1253.75 of it.

Congratulations

go out to the Wolf Pack. After the win against La Tech yesterday the Wolf Pack of Nevada became bowl eligible. And thanks to Hawai'i going undefeated last night they received a BCS bowl bid which means there was 3 WAC-tie in bowl games available, the pack being the 3rd team down the list got a bid to play in the New Mexico bowl on December 22, 2007 at 4:30pm. The game can be seen on ESPN and ESPN HD. If your any kind of football fan I urge you to watch this game as Nevada is one hell of team, coming within seconds of beating both Hawai'i and Boise St. this year. Nevada will be ranked in the next two years so watch them when you have a chance to on TV, it doesn't come often.

Go Pack!

I had a dream

Its 9:41am 0n Sunday, Football starts in roughly 19minutes. I just work up from a cold sweat. Ok maybe not but I had a dream that someone made a 80yd field goal. Now I know that an 80yd field goal will not happen but I have a feeling that someone today will set a new field goal record...but its just a feeling, don't go betting on it.

I knew I wasn't the only one

A good portion of my stint in Portland was spent being lost, driving that is. Now I don't mind being lost, I actually somewhat enjoy it when I have ample time, but when I'm in a rush or in traffic....I hate it. But in Portland, I was lost more than usual, well today I came across this interesting tidbet:

Due to the majority of one-way streets and the inconsistent freeway on-ramps, at any given moment 12 percent of drivers in Portland, Oregon are lost or off of their intended path.

Good to know
