Teddy is a dummy

I am working on a beard now. Check it out. I know it doesn't look that spectacular yet, but that is because I am Irish and a late bloomer. Don't worry though, I am as committed to this beard as I was to finding Tina Fey, kidnapping her and keeping her in my basement to hang out with. I did trim it tonight because I start a new job tomorrow and I don't want to look like a bum. 

I was supposed to post a video of me reading the poo journal today, but I didn't. I tried to put one up on Friday, but there was an error and I believe the video was too big. I am still working these things out. And then, I forgot to do the video in time to put it up today and now my roommate is asleep because she has to work at 7am tomorrow. So, I can't do that today. But I will tell you one thing that really chaps my ass. Here is the layout of the www.nbcsports.com video player.

I just can't deal with it. There is far too much going on here. Also, I feel like they should focus on making the picture quality better in the main screen rather than providing 4 accompanying streams. That's just something that pisses me off. Oh, before I go to sleep, check out this link if you live out of market for your favorite NFL team and can't watch their games due to the fact that beers at sports bars are too expensive to make it worth it to watch your team's game there. Anyway,  I will do my best to put up the poo journal tomorrow.    

This Is Gold, Pure GOLD!!!!

So I found this about a month ago and laughed my ass off, and then all of a sudden it was gone... but have no fear JLo found it and sent it to me. Everything about this video is amazing, the posters, the haircut, the Taz T-Shirt, the fucking song... Enjoy

New Bedford Kicked Durfees ass

New Bedford High School smashed up Durfee 37-6... so all those people from Fall River can lick my balls.

The Shield, greatness

Now if you know me I have seen my fair share of television, and The Wire and The Shield are my two shows that I absolutely love. To me, The Wire was and has been the best show to ever come on television. It is just so deep and the writing and grit is by far the best. But with that being said, The Wire would not be possible without The Shield. The Shield gave cable television a show so edgy that some people couldn't take the first episode never mind stay around for seven seasons, but if you did you became a fan and last nights finale was the cherry on top of a marvelous series.



When you think of The Shield the first thing to pop into your head is the iconic image of Vic Makey, dressed in his jeans and black leather jacket ready to just crush someones head through a door. He was always ahead of EVERYONE else, thats how it went through 7 seasons. During last nights final episode of the series, all the shit that he pulled, the shit that as an audience we knew was wrong and bad but we rooted for him anyway because it just seemed right. All that had finally turned on him. The final minutes of The Shield made perfect sense, Vic Mackey the man that always found a way out had no way out. He was in complete silence. His family hidden from him in witness protection, two of his best friends dead, the other in jail for life, and now his lively hood stripped down to a 9-5 pencil pushing desk job.

As I watched the scene I asked myself if I had ever scene Vic in a suit other than Lem's funeral and even then I can't remember what he was wearing. On the screen was not the Vic Mackey that we all knew, you could see that in the incredible silence, the shaky camera work that zoomed in on his trying eyes, and the feeling that this was worst than life in prison or being dead. And then I saw it. When he grabbed his gun from the lock box and looked at it and gave that smirk I knew he wasn't lost. Vic Mackey is never out for the count. So as wrapped up as the show was, I feel that Vic still had something up his sleeve, even with it being a suit jacket sleeve.

Best Drinking Night Ever?

Well people, I have a question. Is tonight the best night to go out in the hometown and get hammered? I believe it is. Let's face it most of you are probably going home for Thanksgiving to spend time with the family, and because most people love to get drunk as much as Ted Washington loves all-you-can-eat buffets we all will be out tonight. So I would like to declare this the best bar night of the year. Is there any other day when you can go out and see people from high school and parents and even underage people all at the same bar? If so I wanna know.

So now I am going out tonight, that's for sure but I wonder where I will end up in New Bedford. I know I will not be attending FINS, cause that place is mad gay. And when I say gay I mean, it sucks more sweaty balls than a Purchase Street hooker. So yes it sucks mad balls. I think my plan tonight is to drink heavily before I go out to conserve money and then hit up maybe The Garden or Pour Farm and obviously end up at the Catwalk. Hopefully Jamie or Brooke is working the bar (because we are friends and they serve me fast) instead of those 4 ugly dudes who I caught pounding Muscle Milk shakes in the corner two weeks ago. Take your muscle milk, your gelled hair, and your two size too small polo and go pour me a fucking jager bomb you fuckin skank. I'm not that mad, shit if I was them I would only serve girls too, but come on serve me a drink, I need to get crunk.

Well people, if I see you out tonight, I will be hammered, but what's new! If I can make it to Kirby's at 8a.m. to pre-game before the NB-Durfee game I will try to be there and hopefully I can make the game. If I don't see you tonight or you don't live in good ol' New Beige, Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Glorious Night of Drinking... oh yeah, Durfee SUCKS!!!

Nnamdi Asomugha

Seriously? Is this guy the best corner back in the league right now? I mean the reason i can't allow myself to buy this all stems from Madden 2005 and Brian McGackin, one of the only 4 people I literally hope I never see or hear from again. (The others include but are not limited to Peter Kapostacy and 2 NYS Troopers.) You see, in Madden 2005, at least I think it was 2005...it could be 2004 but I don't think it was. Anyway, in whichever Madden game I was playing there was an option where you could turn offsides off. This would allow retards (like Brian McGackin) to take a nickel corner (Asomugha) and blitz him hard off the edge. I say hard because the player would just run up to the line of scrimmage and they would not be allowed to go any further. However, when the ball was snapped, the player would be running at full speed. Not only is this a completely ridiculous way to play, but it's even worse to do it every down. Yes, I could hot read him and shift my TE and then grab 8 yard gains every down, but thats not the point. Also, Brian McGackin would not play unless we adjusted the rules to fit his style. That I feel made McGackin more of a prick. However, I never stooped to his level. It just wasn't my style to use a glitch in the game an cheat to win. I remember most of the kids we played with hating his stupid little trick, but not doing it when they went defense. Probably because it's a bitch move. Anyway, he won alot of games...not all, and certainly not blowing out everyone, but he won a lot of those games.  Then, when he obviously won because he was playing with an advantage, he gloated. I don't think I really have to explain why I hate Nnamdi Asomugha. If anyone is to blame, it's Brian McGackin. So, that's why I don't buy Nnamdi Asomugha as the best CB in the game. Sure, he is playing well.......but he's probably changing the rules of the game to cheat for his benefit. I honestly believe it. Try and prove me wrong. 

I'm here!

Well, hello there. I would like to say hello to everyone out there who reads this. More specifically to Rhys, possibly Horse, and my brother Connor. I should've posted something earlier, but I was at this concert with my friend Julia in San Francisco. Julia sings songs on the internet and she is a relatively famous via YouTube.  As I found out in San Francisco there are a lot of relatively famous YouTube celebrities. Most of them stayed in our hotel too. This was the weirdest part of the whole trip. People would come up to people they had never met before and talk to them as though they knew each other for years. I have no problem talking to people about any subject, at anytime, in anyplace. That being said, I think it's a little weird and pretty creepy how people who watch each others videos over the internet think that they are best friends when they meet in person. Other than that though, it was a pretty awesome trip. I got to stand next to people like will.i.am, Akon, Soulja Boy Tell Em, Wade Johnston, and Katy Perry.

 I also met MC Hammer, and by "met" I mean saw the shell of a man MC Hammer has become. I can still vividly remember the day I got the Hammer tape, yeah, the cassette tape. It was a crisp day, the sun was shining, but no one on my little street deep in the heart of Rochester, NY was awake yet. No one was witnessing a certain proud young boy wearing an eye patch (because I had a lazy eye) riding up and down his street on a huffy 10-speed, one arm steering the bicycle masterfully, the other arm stuffed inside an Orlando Magic starter jacket. Those were the days. I might have even been wearing my overalls backwards. Anyway, Hammer now looks more like Brian Dawkins than the beloved, parachute pants wearing man I used to idolize. I think even Joan Rivers has aged more gracefully.     

That being said, the concert was pretty sweet. You can watch clips or the whole thing here. Now, I would like to prepare you for something that is going to happen every wednesday from here until I run out of things to think about while pooping.

So, I have this aunt who was friends with this guy. One time my aunt was house sitting for said guy when we were visiting my grandma, who lives near my aunt. This is all important because during our visit to my grandma's house, my aunt took us over to the guy's house where we took his dogs for a walk. Not only did we explore every crevice of his house while we were there, we also discovered a hidden treasure in his bathroom....the entire collection of penthouse magazines from 1991-1993. Also in that bathroom was a journal that he and his roommate (who I believe was also his brother) kept while they pooped. In this was anything and everything they thought about while they squeezed out their daily brown stuff. That happened when I was 8 or so and the memory has stuck with me forever. During my sophomore year at college I shared a suite (1209 in the Little Building) with some of my favorite gentlemen I had met at school so far (Teddy being one of them). I decided the time was right to break out the poop journal idea and it worked beautifully. Luckily our bathroom was a place to hang out in, with the trendy rug, cable TV, and the blue "Boston Red Sox" stenciled tuba and all.  

So, every wednesday I will be debuting a page, snippit, or whatever from the poop journal until it's done. I have started another poop thought book that will hopefully be as successful as the last, we can only hope though, huh? Also, I don't know if you care or not, but I think everyone should subscribe to Paul "Fitzy" Fitzgerald on youtube. He has taken over where Bill Simmon's left off. Simmon's has lost his edge anyway. I hate to say it, but sometimes he has to think about what his kids will think when they read his columns in the future. Fitzy doesnt have that silly thought. It's not an insult to Simmons, I love the guy. He's what got me through getting laid off 6 weeks after I started my first job. The podcasts were great,a nd I even bought his first book so that I could have something to do. Sadly, but surely, he has lost it. Fitzy is still raw, awesome, and from Boston. Check it out. 

Dark Knight News

Because this movie was so fucking awesome I feel it is my duty to share some knowledge with you guys. Well first off Warner Bros. have made a "for your consideration" website up for the movie, incase you dont know what that is, basically it's asking for consideration from the Academy Awards to get nominated. It's a pretty cool site, shows you what they ask to be nominated and has news and press and one of the coolest things is the actual script is up there, so anyone who is interested how a movie script looks, thats pretty much it. Click here.

Below is a great review of The Dark Knight...

Comes out on DVD, December 9th

REVIEWS

Ok so I have two reviews to give out.

ENTOURAGE- SEASON 5

Well last night was the season finale of Entourage, only one of the greatest shows on earth. I have to say that this season wasn't the best but wasn't the worst. I loved the first episode with the boys hanging out in Mexico or wherever they were, because there were just mad tits all over that episode, you know we love that here. Other highlights of the season was the Ari and Adam Davies episode where they battled each other and Ari basically fucked his shit up. Also Ari's speech at Bab's luncheon full of females, is an instant classic.
There were a couple episodes where I was like, WTF, the shrooms in the desert should have been better, a lot funnier. Plus that whole Smoke Jumpers movie was bullshit, that shit was garbage, but with that set you can see how much more money HBO is giving the show.
That puts us to the final episode which brought the fellas back to New York and well, I loved the Michael Phelps cameo and the fact that Turtle is fucking Jamie Lynn Siegler has to be the best thing going. Oh speaking of Turtle fucking Jamie, I heard they are banging in real life too. I know, I know, don't hate just appreciate. You would be banging Meadow Soprano too if your Hollywood name was Turtle.
So season ends with Vince getting a Scorsese lead and the anticipation for season 6 which will shoot this winter and air in the summer is crazy. So in honor of Drama's celebratory season ending line, "Let's get wasted." I raise my glass to a very well done season 5....


LUDACRIS - "THEATER OF THE MIND"

The big homie Pusher P hit me up last night and told me I have to cop the new Luda album cause it was fire. Well my man was right after first listen through I loved it and now that I have heard it on blast for hours on end, I agree its fire. As Pusher says, Luda sounds so different and I couldn't agree more. His verses are coming hard and raw. The Intro song comes in and kills it into the second song "Undisputed" featuring Floyd Mayweather, yeah the pound for pound champ. It has this crazy beat and is a great song.
Don't think the boxer is a big name, Luda brought all the big guns out, take a look at this list of names: T.I., T-Pain, Game, Rick Ross, Playaz Circle, Chris Brown, Sean Garret, Plies, Jamie Foxx, Lil Wayne, Nas, Jay-Z, Common, Spike Lee, and Chris Rock.... yeah the best in the game all spit on this album. Not to mention beats from Don Cannon, Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz, 9th Wonder, and the killer track from DJ Premier.
So this holiday season Theater of the Mind is a great listen, matter of fact, could be the best hip hop cd coming out this winter. This is a must on the ipod people.

Let me know what you think. Comment or hit the email up at thetam21@gmail.com

Joke Time

On the first day of school the teacher is introducing herself to her new third grade class. "Children," she says, "My name is Miss Prussy, I will write it on the black board for you." As she does this she says, "An easy way to remember my name is that it is spelled just like 'pussy' but with an 'r'".
The following morning the teacher asks her class, "Boys and girls can any of you remember my name?" "I know," says one boy eagerly, "It's Miss Crunt."

Things That Drive Me Crazy

So this weekend I found somethings that drive me crazy, annoy me, and just straight up make me mad.

1. Why the hell can't gas caps be on the same side of every car. It should be a normal thing like every car you ever take to the gas station the cap will be on the passenger side. This would help so many individuals from getting embarrassed when they park and then realize they are on the wrong side and have to get back into their car and do the old switcheroo. Finally how much more pleasant would gas stations be, like all the cars would be going in the same directions, no more one behind and one infront of the car pumping. I declare this problem be solved.

2. The NFL, the most powerful sports league in the world has the stupidest playoff system ever. Seriously when a game can end in a tie thats bogus. When you know that you have to win the coin toss to have a chance at a win, thats fucking bonkers. College overtimes are fun, who wouldn't want to see that in the NFL, plus that would boost fantasy points.

3. Speaking of college football, fuck the BCS. These people have fucked college football up for years and because the bowls generate so much money we will never have playoff system like we desperately need.

4. Finally FUCK FINS. If you don't know what Fins is, it is this lame duck bar in downtown New Bedford. I would get into why stupid and dumb this bar is but I have a life to get too. I will highlight a few reasons. One- no hats. GAY. Two- Shitty people. GAY. Three - 40 feet of water on the bathroom floors. GAY. and finally a bud light bottle is like 3.25 or 4.25... that pisses me off more than anything, why not make it 3 or 4 dollars even you fucking douche bags.

Ok have a great week people. Pictured above is the shitty bar, so if you ever walk by just spit on the door or tell the gay bouncers that they smoke each others poles.

The Roots heading to late night???

Word is in that when Conan O'Brien takes over for Jay Leno sometime in 2009 his replacement on the Late Show, Jimmy Fallon, won't be the only noob on the late night scene. Rumors have it that the Philadelphia based band The Roots will be Fallon's house band. They are said to have there last touring dates in early 2009 and ready to make the jump to television when the NBC changes are made.

I don't know how I feel about this though. I mean The Roots are the sickest live band and tour non-stop and now they are going to pack it in for Jimmy Fallon, really? Like I can see if Tracy Morgan was going to take over I could appreciate The Roots as his band but Jimmy Fallon, I think he is more of a Nickleback kinda dude, and Nickleback SUCKS.

Any way ?uestlove deserves to be on TV if nobody else. And how is Black Thought going to figure in? You dont usually see too many singers in these situations, actually I can't think of any. Maybe he can go record another Fort Minor cd, that would be dope.

P.S. It must suck being a musical act on that show, knowing the house band is 100 times better than you

Pirates Taking Over

More than $150 million have been paid to pirates around the Horn of Africa over the past 12 months, Kenya's foreign minister said Friday.

The money is encouraging them to continue and become more brazen in their attacks, Foreign Minister Moses Wetangula told a news conference in the Kenyan capital.

"That is why they are becoming more and more audacious in their activities," Wetangula said.

Pirate activity off the coastline of east Africa is a cause of growing international concern.

Last weekend pirates, who mostly operate from lawless Somalia, seized a Saudi-owned supertanker Sirius Star, the largest vessel captured to date. Another seized vessel, the Ukrainian MV Faina, was carrying a cargo of military supplies and T-72 tanks.

They currently hold 17 vessels and are estimated to have attacked more than 90 ships in the region so far this year, according to the International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Reporting Center, which monitors piracy around the world. The attacks have increased in recent weeks, the PRC says.

Full Article Here.

This is crazy, I can't believe that these guys are getting away with this. You never hear about ransoms being paid and then not catching the people, so these pirates are doing it right. Shit $150 Million. Damn. It costs like 10 cents for a t-shirt in Somalia so these dudes must be living in mansions. I know I would. I don't understand why these ships owners just don't hire like a security boat to travel with them, I'm pretty sure that would be cheaper than a few Mill. Anyway I can't wait for a movie to be made about this, I'm picturing Blood Diamonds mixed with Waterworld mixed with Con-Air, now that would be a sweet film.

This is just AWESOME!!!

I really do feel for this kid, when I was a freshman I jumped out of a tree and fucked my back up. I wasn't even drunk, and I bet this dude isn't either. I'm curious as to whether the face smashing and breaking the ceiling hurt more or when he smashed his back against the stairs.

Tucker Max Movie

So for anyone who has ever read a Tucker Max story or even his book you know what a crazy bastard this dude is, and if you follow him you know he is adopting some of his true stories and mixing in some fiction to create a Hollywood movie with the same title as his book, "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell". Well it looks like the movie will be coming out in theaters my guess is the early part of 2009 after the Oscars when people need a laugh because they have watched months of dramas with good acting and great writing. Traci Lords is starring in this flick so my guess is there will be a lot of T&A.

I wonder how much of this movie will be on his real life. Certainly it will have to be censored because for him, getting a rated R could be very difficult. In case you have never read a Tucker Max story, here is a classic.

P.S. That is the first Tucker Max story I ever witnessed and was told to me by K Jeezy freshman year of college because at that point I still couldn't read.

Mr. Thanksgiving

DJ Drama a.k.a. Mr. Thanksgiving has this new joint out featuring Akon and the big homie Snoop. It sounds real mainstream so this could be a single off his Gangsta Grillz 2 album.

DJ Drama ft. Akon & Snoop Dogg - Day Dreaming

In other news I heard that Eminem's new album "Relapse" should be out first quarter 2009 but you know how those things go.

Mass. unemployment rises to 5.5 percent

The Bay State's unemployment rate continued to march higher in October, but remained below the national average, according to the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development.

The agency said today that the state's unemployment rate climbed to 5.5 percent in October, up from 5.3 percent the previous month and 4.3 percent rate a year ago. Nationally, the job-

less rate leaped from 6.1 percent in September to 6.5 percent in October.

The data were another sign of how hard the state's economy has been hurt by the global financial crisis and national economic recession.

Overall, Massachusetts lost 7,000 jobs in October; that follows the loss of 3,100 jobs in September, based on a survey of more than 9,000 employers. - article here.

See it's not just me who is unemployed

Thirsty Thursday Drink of the Day

Jack & Ginger
(on the rocks)

In honor of my friend JLo today's beverage is Jack & Ginger (Jack Daniels and Ginger Ale). This is a staple in my boys diet and I know he will be smashing these back. He always says "when ordering, tell the bartender you are better friends with Jack than you are with Ginger"... and always ask for a big boy cup.

Speaking of my friends

I don't know which one of my friends posted this but it had to be one of them. This would probably be the answer to K Jeezy's what he likes most about a guy. Anyway its hilarious.

November 19th.... the start of something new

So today is the first entry to this blog of ours, So enjoy this little site while it lasts... K Jeezy is on hiatus to San Francisco so in the mean time here he is at his finest.
