Boston College Screwed Me
I went 2 for 2 yesterday and Memphis fucked my bracket. The only way to win some money now is to have Psycho T go nuts and kill the competition. I also lost with the white boys from Duke and I have to say that I blame it all on the Boston College Eagles. Why the hell is there logo on the TD Banknorth Garden floor. They didn't play any game in the garden through out the season and everyone knows Emerson and Emmanuel Boston schools, Chestnut Hill is at the end of the Green Line. I dont get this.
High seeds are going to win Friday Night, mark my words on it. UNC by 10+
Sweet Sixteen

Louisville v. Arizona
I picked Zona over Utah but I never saw Cleveland St. coming and shitting on Wake so I had a Ville versus Zona match up up but needless to say I like Pitino although I hate him.
Kansas v. Michigan St.
This was a tough one for me. In the end I went with State because the Big 10 may not score but they can play defense and if you can stop the other team more than they can stop you, you win. Plus Tom Izzo might have the best hair in the dance.
Connecticut v. Purdue
To me this could be a trap game for UConn, I picked them for winning but if they don't come ready to play and Purdue is hitting the three ball and running the transition offense, it could be a long day. But in the end AJ Price is clutch and Thabeet is bigger than they are.
Missouri v. Memphis
This is a must win for me. I don't know anything about Mizzou basketball but lets hope they suck. One word baby, Calipari.
Pittsburgh v. Xavier
I don't really like either team, but the Big East is superior to the A-10. That is my lone factor.
Villanova v. Duke
This could be the game of the weekend. A classic ACC, Big East match up. Shooters with quickness on D versus Slashers and Pounders with physical D. I like the white boys.
North Carolina v. Gonzaga
It's time for two Ty's to tell the mid major team just what the fuck they are, a mid major team. Time to run them out of the gym. Period.
Syracuse v. Oklahoma
When will the fatigue catch up with these Orange. The minutes they have played throughout the Big East championship and these last two games have to pay a toll, they run a 7 man rotation. Blake Griffin is a beast. Where was he last year? HGH???? Whatever it worked for A-Rod, I like Blake the Snake.

TAKING WOODSTOCK
So anyone who knows me knows I love a good concert. I actually dropped $552 dollars last weekend on concert tickets. So this movie is def. a must see for me. The movie which is based on Elliot Tiber’s memior, Taking Woodstock: A True Story of a Riot, a Concert, and a Life seems like a funny and interesting flick. I'm stoked.

Is It Because I'm A Mac???
On: Friday, March 13, 2009
Ok first off these commercials are interesting, wanna know why? Cause PC's suck and they are trying to make a cool commercial like "Hello, I'm a Mac" but they can't. Secondly I do not believe for one bit that a four year old knows how to do all of that. I know 4 year olds, they have the attention span of 40 seconds, that's it. The broad up top might be different because she is Asian, and they are super smart, because of this and this.
The seven year old is def. a computer nerd, I mean look at that hair typical of a middle aged man who sits on his computer playing World of Warcraft and watching anime porn. So yes I do believe this kid can do stuff like that, next month he will be devising viruses for such PCs. Anyway if you wanna do yourself a favor, shell the extra cash out and get a mac, your life will be better.
P.S. Erin Andrews is smoking hot and UCONN vs. Syracuse was insane.
I wish I could be...

As I've recently fallen in love all over again with a childhood pleasure, "Doogie Howser, M.D.", I've caught myself in the web of a lighthearted, fairytale like debate: which kid phenomenon television character would you most like to be? Though I know there are many to choose from, I’ve begun my search among a selection of four gifted young men. Doogie Howser (the 16 year-old genius doctor), Henry Rowengartner (the kid with the rocket arm who pitches for the Chicago Cubs), Billy Heywood (the kid who becomes owner and manager of the Minnesota Twins) and Calvin Cambridge (Lil’ Bow Wow playing in the NBA). So many fun options, how do I decide?
Doogie is cool, confident, admirable and yet the most innocent person to walk the face of the earth, especially when compared to Neil Patrick Harris’ later characters of the hound dog icon Barney in “How I Met your Mother” or his self perverted portrayal in “Harold and Kumar Go To White-Castle”…not like there’s anything wrong with that, right Coach Smith? Doogie’s a successful doctor with the hottest girl in school for a girlfriend.

Doogie’s a successful doctor with the hottest girl in school for a girlfriend.
As hot as Wanda may be, she ranks 2nd to Henry’s honey Becky (Colombe Jacobsen-Derstine, otherwise known as the smokin’ jockete goalie Julie “The Cat” Gaffney from Mighty Ducks). Wish I could impress Becky with my motorboat. Furthermore, as impressive as checking for a hernia may be, Henry’s got the edge as a professional athlete, not to mention being a big league pitcher for the Chicago Cubs who strikes out the greatest hitter of all-time Barry Bonds and wins a World Series…it’s just cooler.
However, as much as I’d like to spend my summer on the diamond, I prefer the hardwood. Therefore, I’d rather hoop it up and slam it down as a NBA player in Los Angeles like Calvin Cambridge (Lil’ Bow Ow-get-the-driver-off-me). Though the youngest of our contestants is without a girlfriend to compare, the adorable Jonathan Lipnicki in his loyal, fight a bully for you, “Jerry Maguire” like appearance is hard to turn down for a best friend. Come to think of it, the best buds in the other movies are jealous, complaining and getting you in trouble. Not only does Calvin get to live off his own success as the NBA’s most popular player, but his adopted dad plays in the league as well..not to mention daddy’s a more impressive All-Star caliber player than the two down and out big leaguers who assume stepfather roles for Henry and Billy.
Despite my dying desire to have Henry’s arm or to be in Calvin’s shoes, their gift of greatness is short lived as neither character lasts more than one season before returning to the regular kid on the playground. Therefore, my only options for long term success are to be Doogie or the teenage Billy Heywood who lives out my personal fantasy of inheriting ownership of a professional team and making himself the head coach…I mean manager. Pardon my goodwill morals I’ll leave at the door as I’ll take sports over medicine any day. Even though Billy relieves himself of being manager after just one season, as owner he has the ability to make himself manager again when he’s done fishing in a stream with no fish, especially given he proved himself to be a successful coach. Billy wasn’t just some kid who luckily got rich and with no qualification made himself manager of his team. No no no. Billy had more knowledge of both baseball strategy and the history of the game than anyone, so essentially like Howser, he’s a genius. Not only will his talent never fade, his knowledge of baseball will only grow with time. As one of my co-workers put down the idea of being Billy given he lives in Minnesota, I remind you that the indoor stadium creates a year round play area, not to mention being a teenage millionaire and team owner allows him to leave the twin cities whenever he pleases.
But hey, that’s my choice, what’s yours?
A Sports Day To Smile About
On: Wednesday, March 4, 2009
I wish I had shocking theories and juicy thoughts roaming through my mind today, yet I find myself surprisingly upbeat, positive and…well, happy. All sorts of reasons have me waking up on the right side of a bed rather than the edge of a gutter, but the sports world in particular has me smiling today. Not that I don’t live off of every second of the high and low emotions of a fanatical sports fan, but lately I find myself frustrated with sports. Teams underachieving. Overpaid contracts being accepted or turned down. Sounds like the same old issues to gripe over, but several things really impressed me yesterday, so I thought I’d reassure you all of goodness still in sports.
Players switch teams at the rate of change second only to the stock market. The only jerseys I consider these days have my name on it or of a retired player, cause I know we aren’t going anywhere. Hero’s come, hero0s go, yet ideally hero’s are never forgotten. Former Detroit Piston NBA Finals MVP Chauncey Billups returned to Motown in shiny Nuggets baby blue last night to an unexpected powerful introduction from the Pistons announcer and standing ovation from the Detroit fans. Yes sports players are viewed as mercenaries, hired with likely no affiliation to a city’s or team beyond a temporary location for employment. As sometimes players see it as that, fans love for players often ends the moment they are removed from their favorite team’s roster. But last night’s expression of unconditional love shows that Detroit’s love for their players is more than jersey deep, as I’m sure Billups’ memories and feelings towards Murderville haven’t completely died…did I just kill the love?
Keeping to the hardwood, I get jealous when I hear stories of the classic battles between Wilt and Russell. As a fan of physical basketball, I can only imagine how the two monsters duked it out. If it was anything like a Chris Dudley and Yao Ming matchup, I’m going to cry. Thinking about the great post SCORERS of our modern day, most people score from finesse, quickness or weak ass outside shooting. Yao. KG. Duncan. Dirk for gods sake. That’s why last night’s battle between the two Supermen was epic. No gentle layups, no ability to shoot outside. Shaq and Simba (Dwight) worked to the hole of pure aggression and strength. When they scored, it was a slam of vengeance, like a spike through a vampire’s heart. I watched the highlights countless times, like a 10 year old boy again, gazing with amazement for my man crushes. It might have been the closest thing to a father/son one-on-one duel in an NBA game for the two former first overall picks of the Orlando Magic. I pray for an NBA Finals appearance of these two teams because I doubt Shaq can play like this 8 months from now when they meet again, nor am I patient enough to wait that long.
Lastly, a small blurb of an article in today’s paper sparked a smile on my face before I headed out this morning. The Baltimore Orioles are taking a page out of Disney marketing book as they offer free tickets to games for fans with a birthdays within the month. I used to think that if my team didn’t lose on my bday it would be their way of helping me blow out the candles, but this gift for the Baltimore faithful may be the best they get from their love ones. It’s certainly a nice way to start mending wounds with a fan base that organized boycotts when they know they can’t provide wins just yet. If my team gave away birthday tickets, I might start living my life by the Chinese calendar or redeeming tickets for my twin brother no one has ever met.
So until I leave you panting with some more orgasmic philosophies, give that little ten year old fanatic inside of you a big hug.~Sir Charles~
