"Strangers in the night....exchanging clothing; Strangers in my pants...."

I have absolutely nothing today! Nothing! I keep trying to think of things to write, and the only thing I can think of writing about is how few things I have to write about. Aint that a bitch?
Our legal system is based on the idea that you are innocent until proven guilty. Isn't that the biggest joke ever? The minute allegations hit the media, the accused instantly become guilty until prove innocent. It happens all the time. This steroid scandal is a perfect example. It's similar to rape allegations. Even if the woman recants, or is proven to be lying, that stigma still hangs over the accused. I say these matters need to stay out of public scrutiny. Since when is it our business? I am tired of this high and mighty attitude by the fourth estate, where the perception is that we all have a right to know about everything and everyone. Is privacy not an issue anymore? Just because someone does some crappy sit com, it is suddenly my business about his personal life? I disagree that "You get all that money, so that's the price you pay." No, see, you arent paid to be violated by the newspapers. That doesn't come with the territory.
That's another topic. Hey, everyone, get your damn noses out of each other's business! I actually go out of my way to NOT hear gossip. Someone will be like, did you hear about so-and-so, and I say, hey, I dont care. Its not my business. If they want me to know, they'll tell me. You know, if we all worried about our own problems, perhaps we all wouldnt have so many. You see these fat losers, with no jobs, no goals, and they are gossipping about some other person. It's like, who the hell are you to talk? Case in point: What is the most popular tv out there? Reality tv and that Jerry Springer crap. People are entertained by other people's drama. Is there anything more pathetic than that? Look, I watch the Apprentice, but not for the drama. Not for the social interaction. These are intelligent people vying for a job. It is pretty real. It's not two pea brains arguing over who gets to use the blue bean bag, and who ate who's tuna fish. Why is that interesting?
"We're talkin Knicks and chicks here Buddy!"
Ok, something is confusing. Terrell Owens missed the deadline to file for free agency. This is a guy who has been flappin his gums for months about testing the free agent waters, and he missed the deadline. So now, he and his agent are complaining that they missed the cut off date. Um, genius....why did you wait in the first place? If you knew you were going to become a free agent, wouldnt you file on DAY FREAKING 1?
Everybody is working out. Including me. Um, what are we working out for? Are we all training for marathons? I dont think so. Its one thing to try and lose weight, but some people are getting themselves into peak physical condition. For what? I'll tell you what. We are all working out, so that we can get through our next workout. We are getting in shape so that we can keep hitting the treadmill. Seems odd doesnt it?
Guys love initials. If its shortened to initials, sign us up. KFC, NBA, NFL, T&A, RPI, WWF, TNT, TBS, ESPN. We are a simple people. Keep everything to a minimum, huh?
Boy, remember all the usual places you used to eat at in college? I still remember the sandwiches at the Big Ten. Oh man, they were good. And the sezchaun chicken at the chinese joint next door? Oh man so good. Or, we would go to BW3's, and the way they did it was, you would place and order, and they would just call it out and leave it on the counter. Man, we would have a couple pops, cruise over there, wait for someone to order, then the minute they forgot about it, snag that food. Oh man, why were we all so bad back in the day? It just seemed like the thing to do huh? Screw it, you snooze you lose, right? I think that is the best, having a local joint that has a taste all its own, and when people come into town, its the spot they have to visit. I love stuff like that. Here in San Diego, hit up World Famous and get some lobster and fish tacos for a buck. Or hit up taco tuesday at PB Bar and Grill. Very popular. Dozens of great places out here.
Ok, something I feel very strongly about. I dont like that the players union in baseball wields so much power. It seems so stupid to me. Why do the players call the shots? They are employees. They should have very little say unless they are being treated unfairly. Im sorry, but what are your other options guys? The owners OWN the league. If there were no teams, there would be no league. So, if I own a team, and someone tells me, oh, you owe me this and that. Im like, dude, how about I fold the freakin team, and you can pound salt? Seriously, isnt there a point where the owners say, screw this, we are all gonna fold our teams, the league will go away, and then we'll see how the players like it. These guys act so entitled. Look, you arent entitled. You are damn lucky that this opportunity exists. I think collusion is a legitimate business method. Doesnt that already exist? If I want to be a lawyer, there is just a threshold that all firms are going to have. I have to live by the rules of the employers, dont I? I cant tell them, look, you gotta pay me this. They will be like, yeah right, take it or leave it jackass. Why cant baseball do this. Hey, look, we all agreed that y'all make too much money. The most anyone gets anymore is 5 mill, take it or leave it. Oh, leave it? Ok, well, then we can afford to be in this business, so we are folding. Good luck making 5 bucks an hour with your talents, which are NONE. I bet those guys whould change their tune real quick. If the owners want a salary cap, who are the players to tell them they cant? I understand that there are labor law issues here, but every other league has a cap. I dont hear a lot of bitching from those players. I just tire of people being granted a gift, and treating it like a royal right.
Out of time...until later...
