It's Been A While ... Pt. 2 ... Rant

I cannot believe it's been over a month since I last posted ... so what has happened since then?

Senator Barack Obama was elected president.
Speidi got hitched.
One of those Jonas fags broke up with Taylor Swift over the phone (in 27 seconds, no less.)
The new Britney Spears album came out.
Denny came back (as a ghost?) on Grey's Anatomy.
Blair and Chuck are on (and off-and back on again) on Gossip Girl.
David Cook is still pretty fucking hot.

I do wanna talk about that Jonas/Swift split. This just assures me that the Jonas Brothers are gay - I mean, seriously?!?!? You're gonna break up with your girlfriend over the phone?!?! You're an idiot! You don't break up with someone you're involved with over the phone, texting, e-mailing, or changing your relationship status on Facebook. What kind of guy does that?!?! And dude, you're an idiot - you broke up with Taylor Swift who EVERYONE knows write songs about what she's going through (i.e. boys) ... so she wrote a song about you, you douchebag. Is that what you wanted? More fame?

Okay ...

Rant over.

Congrats To The Phillies

So, the Philadelphia Phillies ended the Tampa Bay Rays' magical season last night with their 4-3 win during game 5. Game 5 had been suspended in the bottom of the 6th inning Monday night due to inclement weather. The game was supposed to resume Tuesday night but was postponed to Wednesday night due to, once again, inclement weather. Finally, last night Philadelphia got the major sports title they had been waiting for and I could not be any happier for all Phillies fans. Also, I'm happy the Phillies won because those same Rays had ended my Red Sox season.

Congrats to the Phillies!

Two To Go

So, the Red Sox are still alive in the MLB postseason! What a game last night! The Sox were down 7-0 going to the bottom of the 7th inning and pretty much everyone had given up on them. If you were watching the game on TBS they kept showing how the Red Sox faithfull was leaving Fenway Park. I gotta admit, I thought they were gonna rally but I seriously didn't think that they would come back from 7 runs down to score 8 unanswered and take game 5.If this were football I would give the game ball to: the Red Sox bullpen and JD Drew both. JD Drew, thank you so much! He had 3 RBI in the game - they were the most important RBI in the game, nonetheless. He hit a 2-run shot to get the Sox only down 1 run and then he hit the game-winner RBI ground-rule double to bring Kevin Youkilis in.Josh Beckett pitches during game 6 at Tampa against "Big Game" James Shields. Red Sox nation needs for Beckett to go back to the 2007 postseason and bring all that amazingness back to the nation. PLEASE!

MLB Playoffs

So the playoffs started last night and I'm so stoked that my Red Sox went to LA (or, Anaheim, I guess) and beat those fucking "Halos" aka the Angels. Hell fucking yeah!!! Two more wins and we're in the ALCS, bitches!

I don't really care who wins in the NL because we all know the AL is the far superior league with better pitchers and better hitters, so whoever comes out of the AL is gonna win the World Series, in my humble opinion.

On another note, my favorite couple on my favorite soap ("Nikodine" on General Hospital) got freaky yesterday. Well, I guess "freaky" wouldn't really be the way to describe it - they made sweet, tender lurve. Haha. And here's the video to prove it.

I'm not a perv - I swear! But that scene was just so damn cuuuute. Tyler Christopher (Nikolas Cassadine) and Claire Coffee (Nadine Crowell) did such a great job selling this connection that the two have. BUT I did read some spoilers that say she pulls away from him after "the deed" ... or something like that.

Meh. IDK.

So, like I said in yesterday's post - I'm obsessed with the new 90210. It's amazing. It's a lot like Gossip Girl ... and The O.C. - and we all know how much I love The O.C.

I guess, it's like a less racier Gossip Girl ... because Gossip Girl pushes the envelope to the max and 90210 hasn't really done that ... yet. I am crossing my fingers, though.

I'm not gonna lie - Silver (played by Jessica Stroup) is my favorite character. She's a lot like one of my best friends - doesn't really like the "popular" stuff like what the other girls are into and I love that. AND she's into really cool music.Oh yeah. I found this EXTREMELY cool fan-made opening credits thing for 90210 which is much better than the one they actually use on the show.

It's Been A While

So it's been almost a month since my last blog. I have no idea why I haven't blogged. It's been an insane month but I don't feel like elaborating. BUT a bunch of other stuff has happened since my hiatus. There's been like a SHITLOAD of hurricanes. Tom Brady is out for the season. The Rays are still atop the AL East in baseball. AND I got married to Michael Phelps.

Okay, maybe not.

Alright - I'm gonna admit it. I'm obsessed with the new 90210. Or as I like to call it: 9-0 2.0. Hah. It may not be as funny to all of y'all out there but it's funny to me and that's all that matters. That and I gots a weird sense of humor. Umm ... I've been listening to a lot of weird music. I don't know how to explain it. Whatevvs. I've gots to go.

So ...

I'm still quite angry at the results for women's uneven bars. I still think Nastia Liukin should've won gold. I think the Australian judge that decided to give Nastia a lower score is blind.
Oh, Shawn Johnson got her first gold medal - she won in balance beam. Nastia won silver (again).
I don't think I'm ever gonna get over the fact Nastia only got silver in uneven bars. Talk about home field advantage.

Wow - I haven't blogged in a while. But here's what's been going on:

Yeah, so Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals at the Olympics. I have come to the conclusion that he's part fish.

Nastia Liukin got the gold in women's all-Around, the silver in women's uneven bars and balance beam, and the bronze in women's vault.. I still don't understand why in the world Nastia lost the gold in uneven bars. Her an the other competitor had the same score but for some crazy tiebreak fucking thing she got the silver. Unbelievable.

Yeah, Shawn Johnson hasn't gotten a gold ... yet.

Ummmm ... I don't know what else to say.

Olympics!

So the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing, China begin tonight. I'm really excited because I get excited when it comes to sports. Anything sports gets me going. I get really pumped.

So I'm excited to check out the ... tennis. Yeah, I love tennis. Ana Ivanovic is actually the top seed which is actually not a good thing. She never seems to win when she's the top seed. Fuck. And, like I posted before, she's not the #1 woman in the world, her fellow Serb Jelena Jankovic is now #1.

I also wanna see if the US men's basketball team can win the gold.

And Michael Phelps is kinda hot. And he's gonna be in a speedo.

On another note, the brand-spankin'-new video by Carrie Underwood for her song Just A Dream was released on Monday. And it's amazing. Who knew she could act?!?! Like seriously, her facial expressions and her crying really made me teary-eyed. If you wanna check it out here's the CMT link ... and the youtube link (I can't embed it, sorry.)

Fuck The Rain

So it's about to rain here in Northern Virginia and the TV is out. Screw that! I hate it when it fucking rains because then the fucking satellite don't work and that blows big time! Hopefully the TV starts working again at 3:00 because I wanna watch General Hospital. Yeah, I know it's a fucking soap opera, but I still watch it.

I love the new "relationship" between Prince Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) and Nurse Nadine Crowell (Claire Coffee). They would be really cute together. Or maybe they could pair Nadine with Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) or Johnny Zacchara (Brandon Barash). Those relationships would be cute too.

Fuck the rain!

Goodbye.

By the way, Brett Favre got traded to the Jets. Fuck the J-E-T-S! Sorry, but I hate the Jets ... I love Brett Favre but the Jets blow.

Manny The Marlin?

So, the Boston Red Sox and Manny Ramirez are suffering many difficult problems in their marriage and I don't think counseling will help this relationship out. Personally, I don't want the Red Sox to trade Manny this season because I don't think any other player in the league can give the Sox what Manny has been giving them the past several years. I do think that he will become even more extreme in his "Manny being Manny" ... actions. I guess the Sox would be better off with him in Florida. Whatever.

So that's a really cool Katy Perry picture I found on her myspace. I think it's one of the most rad pictures I've seen in a long while.

I was supposed to finish my album review for One Of The Boys but I really don't have much to say other than: THE ALBUM KICKS ASS. Buy it. Enjoy it. The End.

Oh, and I'm pretty fucking glad the Red Sox avoided getting swept by the fucking Yankees.

Jimmy Eat World - Always Be

One Of The Boys

So I've been listening non-stop to this album - it's like the most rad album I've heard in a while. You go, Katy Perry.

Album review time? Sure.

Is it gonna be a good album review? Probably not.

Allright ...

So the album kicks off with the album's title track and instantly, you're hooked. Maybe you're a girl and can totally relate to the fact that you don't wanna be one of the boys anymore or maybe you're a guy who's best friend is a chick and you may want to see her girly side or whatever. Anyway, you're hooked. It's a catchy tune. It's a great song.

Next, you get hit with the first single I Kissed A Girl and you either start dancing or sing-along with the track. Amazing song. Even if you're totally against same-sex smooching, you're gonna think this song's catchy. Plus, it's Katy Perry singing about kissing a girl, so many people aren't gonna be against that.

Waking Up In Vegas is the next track and in some sort of weird way it reminds me of Carrie Underwood's new single Last Name. They're both about making questionable decisions while in Vegas. Who doesn't find that amusing? I know I do.

The first "ballad" of the album comes next in the form of Thinking About You. Deep. The chick is with this one guy but can't stop thinking about her ex. Who hasn't felt that way or known someone that has felt that way? Pretty much everyone.

Mannequin. What can I say about this track? "But you're not a man, you're just a mannequin." I think many females can relate to that. So many dudes think they're gonna be so cool if they don't show their girlfriends their feelings. Well, you're not. You just seem like douche bags if you don't.

The most amusing and hilarious song is UR So Gay. It starts off "I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf" and you wanna hear more. You have to. One of the best and funniest ways to start off a song. Nowadays, that song is so true. So many dudes like to wear chick pants and use guyliner and all that shit. Well, you're just gayer than Ryan Seacrest if you do that.

Fuck.

I'm tired of typing.

I might finish this tomorrow.

Maybe.

Jason Taylor #55

So, unless you've been camping under a rock, you know that the Miami Dolphins traded DE Jason Taylor to the Washington Redskins for a 2nd round draft pick in 2009 and 6th round pick in 2010. I think the Redskins may have fared a bit better than the Dolphins because Taylor is a one of the best defensive linemen in the game.

Many people know Taylor for his participation in Dancing With The Stars and really had no idea that he is a really good NFL player. He was recognized as the league's top defensive player in 2006.

I can't wait to see him in a Skins uniform when the season begins.

So yesterday was the slowest day in sports. There was no baseball, both football and basketball seasons are in their hiatus, soccer is kinda boring (who really pays attention to soccer, anyways?). There was nothing to do last night except for popping in my O.C. season 3 DVD and watch as the Ryan/Marissa relationship, once again, goes down in flames. So, yeah it was a boring day yesterday.

MLB All-Star Game

What a game last night! Definitely a pitcher's duel that started off with Cliff Lee and Ben Sheets who were ready for the game bringing their "A" pitches and making the game's best hitters look amateurishly foolish. Lee's fastball and Sheet's breaking ball made the opposing team's hitters seem like .100 hitters instead of .300 hitters and it was great to see.

In my opinion, pitcher's duels aren't the most exciting games to see unless you like lots of strikeouts. If you do, then last night was the game for you. All pitchers used (both in the AL and the NL) combined for 34 strikeouts (17 for each side).

I was getting nervous because the National League had a 2-0 lead in the 7th inning. Then, JD Drew came up to bat and hit a 2-run blast to the right field seats. The game was tied, all was well. An unlikely hero for the American League came to the plate in Evan Longoria during the 8th because the National League had taken back the lead thanks to an "overrated" (overrated, my ass, Yankees fans) Jonathan Papelbon who had a shaky inning. Longoria hit a ground-rule double down the line that helped Grady Sizemore score and tie things up once again.
And then it was on. I went to sleep after the 9th inning but I woke up quite early to watch the highlights on SportsCenter. I guess I didn't miss much because I saw ground balls and not scoring and Nate McClouth throwing out Dioner Navarro at the plate during the 11th inning and on and on and on.
Finally, during the 15th inning, the American League came to life and Michael Young hit the sacrifice fly to get Justin Morneau across the plate. There was lots of booing towards all Red Sox and Mets players because Yankees fans are just jealous. But, karma's a bitch, it just so happens that at the last All-Star Game ever played at Yankee Stadium a Red Sox player was the MVP of the game: JD Drew.

'08 Home Run Derby ... Speechless

So last night was the night the annual MLB home-run derby took place. I did not choose the two guys that made it to the championship round to do so. I actually chose Chase Utley and Lance Berkman to duke it out, and I'm an idiot for doing so. I didn't see Josh Hamilton and Justin Morneau making it to the final round because Hamilton only has 21 home runs and had been in sort of a slump lately. On the other hand, Morneau was tied with Evan Longoria for my last choice to win the derby because Morneau only has 14 home runs for the season.
I had no idea Josh Hamilton would put on a show last night. 28 home runs in the first round of the home run derby is unheard of. He hit like 12 home runs in a row with 8 outs. Absolutely mind-boggling.

Hamilton's story is a touching one, too. He was the first overall pick in the MLB Draft by the then Tampa Bay Devil Rays a couple of years ago. He made some questionable decisions with his life. He became a cocaine and heroin addict and he lost his contract with the Rays. Then, he took some time off, found religion, and now he's the RBI leader in the majors with 95.

Amazing story. Amazing show. Too bad Justin Morneau won the derby. I'm not saying that because I don't like Morneau, I'm just saying that because it would've been fitting for Hamilton to have won the derby but I guessed he tired himself out.

Sleep ... Or Lack Thereof

So I have had trouble sleeping since like December of '06. It was the last time I remember having a satisfying night of sleep. I mean, seriously that's not healthy, I don't think. It's been a year and a half or so since I slept through the night. I need help. I'm messed up in so many ways. It's insane. I'm so like sleep deprived.

Last night I went to sleep at about 4:30-4:45 a.m. and I woke up at about 6:30. That's pretty much my sleeping pattern. I may go to sleep early one day and wake up at like 2 and not be able to fall back asleep. It's quite depressing, actually.

I guess I'm like Ryan Atwood (The O.C.) when he had insomnia in the episode "The Sleeping Beauty". Too bad I don't have a Taylor Townsend to save me. I'm not saying I want a female to help me out the way Taylor helped Ryan (she showed him that he had feelings for her after a steamy kiss). I want a guy to be my Taylor Townsend. :D

I Miss Football

Ughhh ... It's only July 12th which means approximately two more months (!) until the NFL/NCAA football seasons begin. I cannot wait. As much as I love baseball and whatnot - football is so much more exciting than baseball. Mostly because there is a hint of violence there and I gotta admit I love violence.

The one thing that's gonna help me out with my football withdrawal is Madden 09 with Brett Favre on the cover. I already pre-ordered it and I cannot wait - it's gonna be amazing.

Keith Urban - I Told You So

My Friend's A Whore ... Personal

So, I told my friend that today's entry was gonna be me talking about how much of a whore she is. In reality, if I was gonna talk about that, I would have nothing to talk about. She is the antithesis of a whore - the most innocent, virginal, naive thing you could meet (except, you know, she's not a "thing", she's my buddy). She's completely amazing ... I mean, she got a full ride to college, she wants to major in like 4 different fields, and she wants to save the world ... all the while being a strip-tease instructor. (I'm totally kidding about that last part. :D)

I don't know why she is my friend, though. I don't understand how she can be friends with someone like me. I bitched her out when I was in 8th grade and she was in 7th. I don't remember exactly what I said to her back then, but I know I said some mean things because I can be a bitch.

By the way, I'm the biggest idiot ever. I sent her a really stupid text which I completely regret right now even though I told her to forget about the text. I'm just completely baffled at the situation. I knew I was an idiot, I didn't know I was such an idiotic douche bag.

I mean, the text had nothing to do with her. I had gotten irritated at a situation that had occurred earlier in the day and when I get mad or irritated it kinda stays with me for a while and I take it out on other people sometimes. I know I shouldn't, but I do. I guess I said something I was thinking but never meant to expose.

Usually, what I do, is I keep things bottled up. It's not in my nature to talk about my feelings. It's what I've been doing since I was 8 when something too personal to write on my blog happened. I felt like I needed to grow up and watching what the adults in my family did I kinda learned that grown ups don't talk about their feelings.

All of that doesn't mean I don't feel anything for anyone. If I ever say "I love you" to someone I mean it. I'm a genuine person when it comes to telling people what I feel about them, I just don't talk about what's bothering me and whatnot.

Everything I've gone through has made me an incredibly angry person. I have a short fuse and I don't like being fucked with when I'm mad. If I get mad my hands start shaking and I feel the need to punch something. My heart starts racing and the only thing that satisfies me is my fist hitting something. I know I need anger management, but that's just not me. I guess I'm like the hulk or something when I get mad.
Whoa ... I never meant for this to get personal, but it did.

Then, I said something about going to LA and pitching the idea to like a Hollywood producer for like a TV show or something. We were thinking about names and she came up with Weed Woman which was not subtle at all. So then, she came up with Ganja Girl, which is really just hilarious. She's such a druggie, but I still love her.

Between the rain delays and the crazy forehand winners among frustration and joy - I was speechless. The best match I have ever witnessed. I am actually completely glad that I didn't go anywhere yesterday because, had I gone out with the fam, I would've missed one of the best matches ever played.

I don't think I've ever been this happy to be wrong when it comes to sports predictions. I predicted Federer would win in five sets, but how can you go wrong when a match of that quality was witnessed? If there ever was a time when I believe the first place trophy should be split, it would be after yesterday's final because both Rafa and Roger played the match of their lives for our viewing pleasure. Wow!

Screw The Rays

So, the Tampa Bay Rays swept the Boston Red Sox last night at the "Trop". That pisses me off quite a bit. Now those kids have a 3.5 game lead over the Sox. How could this happen? How could those motherfuckers sweep the Sox? It's just unbelievable to me that they could do this. It's also unbelievable that the Sox lost right before a four-game series against the damn Yankees. How could they let this happen?
Now I'm angry. They better at least split the series because if the Yanks take more than two at the Bronx I'm seriously going to flip out on someone. And I'm not joking around. I will flip my shit. I hate the Yanks so much.

On another note, there is a rain-delay at the moment at Wimbledon. Venus Williams already punched her ticket to the final after defeating Elena Dementieva in straight sets. The Serena Williams v. Jie Zheng match is currently in progress. Serena already took the first set and they are 5-all in the second. I don't see how Serena could possibly lose, but impossible is nothing when it comes to Zheng.

On the Gentlemen's side, there is still a quarterfinal being played. A grueling five-setter that's going to leave the winner absolutely exhausted for the semifinal against Rafael Nadal. Like I've stated before the finals are going to be Williams/Williams in the Ladies' side and Federer/Nadal in the Gentlemen's.

2008 ESPYs

So the nominees for the 2008 ESPYs were announced yesterday and I must say I'm a bit surprised at some of the nominees, but I understand why the people at ESPN chose those athletes. Here are some of the big time categories and my picks to win said categories.

Best Male Athlete

• Tiger Woods (golf)
  
• Tom Brady (NFL)
  
• Kobe Bryant (NBA)
  
• Alex Rodriguez (MLB)

Who I want to win: Tom Brady because he broke the record for the most touchdowns thrown in a season. I mean, to throw 50 touchdowns in a season in today's NFL is a huge accomplishment. Who do I think is going to win? Tiger Woods because everyone is like in love with him now after his win at the US Open.
Best Female Athlete

• Lorena Ochoa (golf)
  
• Danica Patrick (Indy car racing)
  
• Candace Parker (NCAA, WNBA)
  
• Lindsey Vonn (skiier)

Who I want to win: It's a toss-up between Danica Patrick and Candace Parker. They both had emotional runs to get to their respective championships. Danica won a race in a sport dominated by males, granted, the race wasn't won in the US, but I don't think it should matter. Candace, on the other hand, led her Lady Vols to the national championship after suffering an injury to her shoulder. Then, Parker was the number one overall pick in the WNBA draft to the LA Sparks. Who do I think is going to win? It's a toss-up between Danica Patrick and Candace Parker.
Best Team

• NY Giants (Super Bowl Champions)
• Boston Red Sox (World Series Champions)
• Boston Celtics (NBA Champions)
• Kansas Jayhawks (Men's NCAA Basketball Champions)
• Tennessee Lady Volunteers (Women's NCAA Basketball Champions)
• Detroit Red Wings (NHL Champions)

Who I want to win: The Boston Red Sox because they're my favorite sports team regardless of my loyalties to other teams. They came back from being down 3-1 to the Cleveland Indians in the ALCS and they swept the Colorado Rockies to win the World Series. Who do I think is going to win? Unfortunately, the NY Giants because they pulled off the upset over the New England Patriots.
Best Breakthrough Athlete

• Stephen Curry (NCAA)
• Adrian Peterson (NFL)
• Kyle Busch (NASCAR)
• Ana Ivanovic (Tennis)

Who I want to win: Ana Ivanovic of course. I think she has more potential to be the best at her sport than any of these males at their respective sports. She is currently number one in the world and I think that has to count for something with the voters. Also, I think since it's going to be mainly males voting, I think it's going to help her a little bit. Who do I think is going to win? Adrian Peterson because he had an amazing season for the Vikings.

Check this song out:

Brad Paisley, Alison Kraus - Whiskey Lullaby

One of the best country songs in the history of music. Those two artists mashed up perfectly. Alison and Brad made this song a classic and the video is a tear-jerker.
