FTW! look at the smile on this guy’s face. he doesn’t look like he’s in much pain at all. damn marin county people.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. “You don’t have to tell me,” I said. “I’m off the team, aren’t I?” “Well,” said Coach, “you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you’re wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times.” It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that’s when I felt the handcuffs go on.
we celebrated our 40th anniversary of landing on the moon on the 20th, but there are still some people that say everything was fake – it was an elaborate ruse to win the space race back in the day. conspiracy theories are just too much work for me – whatever happens, happens.

this one is more recent – there’s a group of people who firmly believe that obama was born in kenya and thus not eligible to be president of the united states, contrary to solid evidence proving otherwise [intershame.com]
a congressman from delaware is accosted by a proud us citizen at a recent town hall meeting. it makes me glad that i live in california – where people are more laid back about this kind of stuff.
UPDATE – i will have to eat my words about californians because this congressman from california, mr ted campbell, still has some doubt about president obama and his citizenship. i first thought he was from some hillbilly town like hemet or lamar in the central valley but he is from newport beach. is newport beach that bad? chris mathews of cnbc finally persuades tom campbell to admit that he believes president obama is a natural-born citizen. this is insane!
since free time at home has been curtailed lately with getting the boys to bed, most of the personal web browsing has been happening at work during, ahem, break and and lunch time. there are even some nights that i do not even turn the computer on at all. IMAGINE THAT!

-> marcy wheeler says the word “blowj*b” on MSNBC but this mom says she is not offended [firedoglake]
-> president obama plays hoop and so old hoopsters are dusting off their air flight’s to get some valuable face time with the president. i think that if i was president, it would be pretty much the same thing, only much more competitive [espn.com]

i would take peet’s coffee over a pearl milk tea anyway as i’m not a big fan of the little pearls at the bottom of the cup. i definitely take no joy in having that large straw in my mouth sucking the little pearls into my mouth.
obviously this guy was on his way to the jason mraz concert when his shoe got untied.
why even wear anything at all? you would think if he was going to the jason mraz concert, he would just go commando? girls, what’s your take on this?
i would not be surprised if he could eat a full in-n-out hamburger. he absolutely destroys the tiny jars of food that are suited for a 11-month-old baby.
i wanna get me some of this spamsicle – breaded and deep fried spam slice on a stick – with some over easy eggs and country gravy!
this weekend, people paid us to haul the garbage out of the garage – otherwise known as a garage sale. remnants of excessive credit-card spending, failed home business and overzealous o’reilly book purchases were all on display for our neighbors to see. the serious shoppers came early in the morning, snapping up the good stuff while the casual buyers sorted through the chaff the rest of the day.
read these links while i roll all the quarters up, so i can deposit them at the bank and buy a peet’s coffee:
-> someone felt compelled enough to write up a craigslist posting about the hidden power show present at male urinals worldwide. i think most guys are aware of this, but let it pass without incident [craigslist]
-> some guy reported problems with things missing out of his car after bringing it in for service at a toyota dealership in pennsylvania. after getting the brush off from the dealer, he put a camera in the car before the next service visit and saw employees stealing his change, picking through the console for stuff and also watching a porno on a laptop while working on the car [consumerist]
-> scientific research shows that if you keep a baby picture in your wallet, you are more likely to get it returned to you if someone finds it [times.co.uk]
-> a shoe designer thought that maybe reverting back to paleolithic-era running styles could be beneficial to reducing injuries and returning a more “natural” form of running. the best argument is that our ancestors used to run barefoot – sure, but did they really run several miles a day as part of a fitness routine or were they running so that big wild rhinoceros chasing them didn’t catch and eat them? runner friend dani said she actually has seen runners with these on in the city [wired magazine]

-> president obama likes to say things with the correct pronunciation, trying to be as authentic as possible. people will say he’s trying hard when it’s CHEE-leh (Chile) but he’s favoring his muslim past when he says PAH-kih-ston (Pakistan) [politico.com]
the sf giants hold the second best record in the national league, thanks in part to having given up the least amount of runs in all of baseball. matt cain and tim lincecum lead the pitching staff and they have selected to represent the national league in the all-star game this year.

let’s all help pablo out and click on this to get pablo into the all-star game!
the boys enjoyed the alameda county fair today:
continuing with the grim obituary-type postings, the honda civic hybrid met it’s fate last week. the daughter was driving it and some yahoo tapped the rear quarter and made it spin out. insurance confirmed the car is totaled and so she will meet the big wrecker in the sky (the car, not the daughter).
lucky for me, there was a huge personal injury settlement and i got myself into a new nissan skyline gt-r. the trunk is just big enough to fit my golf clubs nicely. see the specs at [nissanusa.com]. i figure that we’ll all be driving electric or natural gas cars soon, so i might as well enjoy myself with a good, fast car like i’ve had before (see the list to the left).
sorry for the crappy picture quality, because it’s not really my car. the bulge in my pants, however, is ALL mine.
some unresolved personal issues maybe?
