Douche meets "Entourage"

So this past week I was in LA for the Espys. For all you peeps who don't know what the Espys are, its basically a Espn Sports award show. It's like the Oscars or Grammys for Sports. I was able to get this trip through work. I won't get into the specifics, but basically my buddy/co-worker Johnny was offered this ESPN sponsored trip. And of course he was gracious enough to take me along for the ride. This is the same guy who has taken me to Milwaukee twice, Cleveland twice, Hartford/Boston, San Diego, and now LA. So I guess its fair to say I probably I owe my life to this dude.
Anyways, we arrive in LA Tuesday morning. A driver meets us at the airport, holding a sign with our names. How cool is that? I never thought I would be that guy with my name on a sign. I mean shit, who am I? Really just some schlub who works in the media industry. So we get to our hotel and decide to walk around LA for a little bit. Our driver suggested that we hit up "In and Out Burger." Given Johnny and myself's fat kid resume, we thought it was a fantastic idea. Before we left for grub, we had to check in with the ESPN people. So we talk to these ESPN representatives and they give us a run down of what's going for the next two days. And then they tell us to grab a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses. Now this somewhat amusing, because Johnny was just mentioning how he forgot to bring his sunglasses and he was going to have to buy a pair. Then almost magically through the heavens, ESPN tells us to pick out a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses, assuming worth $100. Since it was a bit of a walk to "In and Out" we took a cab down Sunset Blvd. Since we were so hungry and not sure where it was at. Our plan was to take a cab there and walk back. On the way in the cab we passed by all this cool stuff. One thing I saw was a film crew out on the street filming something. I was curious to see what they were filming, but given this was LA I figured it probably wasn't that big of a deal. And they were probably shooting some commercial or something. We get to the Burger joint and chow down on some Burger and Fries. The food was good, but not as great as everybody made it out to be.
After the feast, we decide to walk back down Sunset Blvd. We saw all these cool sites. Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, Viper Room, Directors Guild of America etc . . . Finally we came to the spot where they were filming. From across the street I could see a hot blonde. Again I did not think this was a big deal. Hot blondes are all over this friggin place. Then Johnny tells me he overheard they are shooting "Entourage." I was like, "Are you kidding me?" There wasn't even a huge crowd watching. And here in my first hour in LA, I bump into the filming of one of the biggest shows in the country. So I quickly waddle over and cross the street. I walk up as close as I can and nobody says a word to me. I guess security assumes that I'm part of the crew. Right away, I see Kevin Dillon. And I'm thinking this is amazing! Then, security asks me if I'm part of the crew. Stupidly, I say no. He tells me to wait behind this yellow taped line. I watch them film a scene and I see the rest of the cast. I'm thinking to myself, when else am I going to be a situation like this? I had to walk away with some type of evidence I was here. Either get a picture with one of the actors or shoot the shit with them. They end shooting one of their scenes and you can only walk by the set if you are trying to cross the street. So as I walk by there is some guy getting a pic with Kevin Dillon and Turtle is taking the picture. So right when I was ready to get to talk to him, the Director yells that they are going to start filming again and for everybody to leave. Strategically, I walk across the street. So that when they stop shooting again, I'll be able to walk past the set again. I know as you are reading this, you are probably thinking . . . "Man, this guy is acting a gay stalker little school girl, about these dudes." You know what, I don't give a shit, say what the hell you want. I was trying to make some history here. Anyways, they shoot the scene and take another break. This was probably my last chance to get a pic. Because if I keep on walking by the set back and forth, I'm sure security would get suspicious. So I walk past the set again and to my right I see Vincent and E sitting down smoking a cigarette. On the show, Vincent plays the movie star and E plays the best friend/manager. I really had no idea how they would react. In the back of my mind I was thinking, "These guys are going to totally tell me to screw off or we're too busy for a pic." I then walk up to them and say, "I'm really sorry to bother you guys, but is it cool if I just got a quick picture." E quickly gets up and is like, "Oh yeah sure, no problem." Seeing how E was cool with it, Vincent then gets up also. I could tell Vincent kind of did not want to, but felt he had to since E was willing. At this moment, I was like "Holy shit!" I had no idea it was going to be this easy. Just to think two days ago I was sitting in my underoos, scratching my ass, watching them on the Tele and here I am taking a pic with the two of them. So with E on the left, Vincent in the middle, and myself on the right we pose for a picture. Fortunately, Johnny was right there behind me to be able to take the picture. I think I said to Vincent before the picture, "Sorry, that I'm a little sweaty. It's so friggin hot." I could tell Vincent was thinking "Somebody get this friggin gross douche away from me." And thinking about it right now, I don't know why I had to tell him I was sweaty. Friggin awesome!
More from the Espys to come later.

Bulls Talk, Brooke Hogan, and "Little Man" Hype
Other random awkward thoughts . . .
-I've came to the realization that I cannot snap my fingers. If anybody would like to come and show me I would greatly appreciate it.
-At all costs try to stay away from the L and Wrigleyville during Cubs games. Believe me, it is in the best interest for you to stay away from those large crowds of bafoons.
-Read my Lips . . . Brooke Hogan will be the next biggest Pop Star in the world.
-If you are looking for a new funny show. Watch Comedy Central's new show "Dog Bites Man." It's from the same proudcer of the Ali G Show.
-If you think I am serious with the second to last comment I just made. Then please never read my blog again and make sure to get on the next L to Wrigleville on a Cubs game day.
-Rumor has it I will be making a trip out to LA for the ESPYS. I know most of you are thinking I will be accepting an award for my 31-point performance I had in a park district basketball game earlier this year. But that is not the reason. (For reference: Please read the Air Douche blog entry. )
-My favorite song right now. Snow Patrols; "Hands Wide Open."
-The person that I would like to punch in the face right now . . . Is young singer, John Mayer wannabe, bitch Teddy Geiger. Man that kid irritates me!
-I am looking forward to seeing "Superman Returns" for only one reason. To see Kevin Spacey play Lex Luthor.
-I already bought my tickets to see the Wayans Brothers new movie "Little Man." I don't know what all of you think, but that looks like a laugh riot! (Who is the mother-fu*ker that allows those non-talent clowns to make movies?)
-Does this ever happen to you? You are getting ready to go out somewhere (ex: bars, dinner, work etc.) In your head you are content with how you look, so you leave to go out. Then maybe an hour or two later you go to the bathroom and look in the mirror and "Good God, this is not how I thought I looked." Well this happens to me frequently and its a bit frustrating.
-Christine Auguilera is looking better and better these days.

The Break-Up, Zach Braff Look-A-Like, and Screech
-I saw the movie "The Break-Up" last weekend. I felt the movie was mediocre. It wasn't great and it wasn't bad. Vince Vaughn had his moments, but overall I found most of the movie to be very slow. It was neat to see how the film was shot in Chicago. Speaking of scenery, Jennifer Anniston looked so friggin hot it was ridiculous. I thought she might of lost too much weight, but I was wrong . . . She still has it going on! Scenes involving Vaughn and John Faverau were hilarious, since they have phenomenal on-screen chemistry. But boy did Faverau put on some weight. I think he might of eaten Rudy. Rating: 2 1/2 Awkward moments out of 4. P.S. I thought the movie ended the right way.
-I am all for Dallas beating the crap out of those Miami A-Holes in the NBA finals. First of all Dirk Nowitzki has turned into one of my favorite players. He's always been able to score, but now he's added some toughness to his repitriore. And who would of thought Avery Johnson would be such a good head basketball coach?
-My take on the Ben Rothensberger motorcycle accident. My question to Ben is how many athletes do you need to see get hurt on a motorcycle before you realize this is not a good idea? I mean we have Kellen Winslow Jr., Jason Williams, Jeff Kent, and Aaron Rowand etc . . . Have all had serious injuries from riding a motorcycle. Dumb move pal!
-Don't ask me why, but I tried to watch the spoof parody movie "Date Movie." Oh my gosh was it just brutally bad. I had to turn it off after 20 minutes. It was truly unbearable to watch. I think I rather watch my traumatizing, embarrassing Bar Mitzvah Video 100 times in a row than sit through that piece of crap.
-It was announced that Zach Braff and Mandy Moore have called it quits. Now I don't know if this is true or not, but I've been told by a few people that I look like Zach Braff. So does this mean then that I can get Mandy Moore caliber ass?
-I realize the answer to the previous question is no. I thought I would just give it a shot.
-Speaking of ass . . . (Amazing Seg-Way) I waddled over to Walgreens the other day. And I noticed that they now have condoms locked up in a case. I guess these thieves who have been steeling Claritin and Mach 3 razor blades, are finally getting laid. Congrats!
-As I was driving to work the other day, I heard Paris Hilton new hit single "Stars Are Blind" on my satellite radio. I think I could make better music, dropping a deuce and listening to Clay Aiken music simultaneously.
-On the Howard Stern Show recently, Screech from Saved By the Bell was on as a guest. Screech revealed that his special member is 10 inches long. I gotta guess Lisa Turtle is kicking herself in the ass after hearing that one.

Oh No You Didn't!
Okay so enough about the weather, lets cut to the chase. Pretty much what we did for two straight days was eat (a lot), drink (a lot), and gawk at women. Apparently in San Diego, the women are tough to talk to. They tend to go for more a surfer, muscular, tattoo look. Which may surprise you, but that does not fit my description. The girls were so tough to approach, they wouldn't even give you eye contact hardly. I mean I'm not saying I do a killing in the windy city, but I'll at least get a look here and there. Even my buddy, Johnny the rockstar chick magnet, couldn't get the girls attention. The first night we hung out by the beach and went to bars around there. And each bar had these huge lines out the door which all these college kids. So it was not really our scene. The beach area was better suited for us during the day. The TV rep then suggested that we go to his favorite dive bar in the downtown area. Johnny and I thought that would be a good idea.
So we're at this dive bar sitting at a table near the girl's bathroom. (Prime Spot!) At this point, I've drank beer the whole day and had a decent amount of Kettle-One Tonics. I guess you can say I'm feeling fairly loose. So we start to have this friendly conversation with this Jamaican chick and then her friend approaches our table. The friend is midly attractive, seems likes a dumb ass. But whatever, who am I to judge somebody's intelligence? I mean hell, the book I'm currently reading is an autobiography on Tom Green. Anyways, we begin to have a group conversation at the table. And yes this girl is boring and dumb, but at this point we don't care. We are just happy to get some friggin female attention. From the conversation, I find out this girl is from Connecticut. So I found that to be interesting, given that I been there before. I then ask what town she is from? I forget what town she says, but it was a town I had heard of before. So right now, I felt like I was getting somewhere. My next question I figured was a normal, typical question you would ask somebody who you have just met. I asked, "So what do you for a living here in San Diego?" She then looks at me for a second and then turns away. I figured, since it was a loud bar maybe she did not hear me. I then asked the same question again. This time she doesn't even look at me and doesn't attempt to act like she heard a word I said. People, I cannot explain what happened from hear on out. But let me just say, I've have some built up frustration with the females recently. And it does not help that we weren't getting any attention from girls in the first place. And it also does not help that I was drinking Kettle-One Tonics. At this point, I decided to stick up for myself and every single male out there who have been treated unfairly by the woman. I can't promise that this was an actual transcript of what was said, but I will do my best to remember. "Excuse me, I just asked you a question. (The girl then looks at me.) I mean I don't understand. I ask you a simple question and you don't have the decency to even answer me. That's perfectly fine, if you don't feel comfortable answering. But if that's the case, then simply just say I rather not answer that question. I mean I just find it extremely rude that you couldn't answer me. To be honest, I could give two shits what you do for a living. But I'm just trying to be a nice guy here and ask a friendly question." So as I am berating this girl, Johnny is on the ground laughing. Pretty much because he has never seen me act like this before and I am just going off on this poor girl. Like I said, I don't know no what got into me. My best guess, was that there was too much built up frustration. And at the same time, I decided to stick up for every male out there, who has been rejected by a girl. It's about time as males, that we take a stand. And not let these females have so much power over us. Follow my lead and I shall take all of you to a world where men will not take any shit from these rude, disrespectful women. Amen.

New Coach, Celebrity Roommies, and Gay Groping
-What a horrible finale to the Real World/Road Rules Gauntlet Challenge (No I'm not Gay). And if I see that Kina piece of shit walking down the street, I'm punching her in the face. Damn, is she annoying!
-They might as well end the contest of American Idol because that bald-headed Chris dude has it all wrapped up. (I'm aware he's no Clay Aiken)
-Apparently Jennifer Anniston and Vince Vaughn are planning a move to Chicago. I could not think of two better roommates to have. All I know is that I got top bunk.
-Wilmer Valderamma(the foreign dude from "That 70's Show") had some interesting things to say on the Howard Stern Show this past week. Apparently this guy has banged Lindsey Lohan, Mandy Moore (took her virginity), and Jennifer Love Hewitt. There are also rumors he was involved with Rosario Dawson, Jessica Alba, and Jamie Pressley. Lucky no talent piece of shit!
-Sports Illustrated picked the White Sox to win the World Series in 2006. I'm pleased that SI thinks so highly of my, but this magazine has a tendency to put a curse on teams that they pick to win. Unfortunately, I don't think the White Sox will be able to repeat. For one thing, their bullpen looks like crap this year. But more importantly, I believe that once you when the World Series its hard to have the necessary motivation to repeat.
-I watched the movie "Waiting" with Ryan Reynolds. They should of re-named the movie "Van Wilder Works at a Restaurant." Can the guy play another friggin character for once?
-How dare Issac Mizrahi grope Scarlett Johanson (Recently added to my Top 5) at the Golden Globes. Hey Issac, stick to the pole smoking and lay your hands off my woman.
-Reeses Puff Cereal tastes better dry than with milk.
-Is there anybody that Nick Lachey is not banging? I mean I even hooked up with him last night.

Bad Basketball, Indy Wrap-Up, and Fogo De Chao
-Speaking of bad basketball, (amazing seg-way) my basketball play has come back to reality. I probably shot 2 for 30 in my last game. Man, was I just horrendous. You know its bad, when you finally hit a shot late in the game and the ref says to, "It's about time."
-Finally my dream has come true and Indiana Basketball coach Mike Davis has decided to resign. Now, I hated this guy since Day One. I always knew he couldn't coach worth shit. I know he took the team to the championship game in 2002, but those were all Knight's players. Who were so well trained, a friggin manatee (a fat dumb sea mammal) could of coached those players and won. This Mike Davis character has turned one of the best basketball programs in the country and turned it into a complete disgrace. People say Davis was a good recruiter, well I don't give a shit if he is. Recruiting is not coaching basketball. And plus, who the hell has he brought in that is even worth mentioning? And how many guys has he missed out on getting? All I can say is good riddance this man is gone and bring on a real coach. (Majeaurs ($$$$$), Alford, Randy Wittman, or Tom Crean?
-The on-going saga of my car continues. First, I crash into and destroy my parking garage's automatic garage door, then I write a rude note on the car that parks next to me, and now some bastard decides to steal my back license plate. What the hell? So if the person that stole my back license plate is reading this blog now. Have a swell of a time committing murders, rapes, thefts, kidnapping under my license plate. Don't worry enjoy, it's all on me.
-So myself and some of my buddies decide to meet up in Indy last weekend. Here are some things I've learned . . .
-I can beat Drew's ass
-Jed is a hell of a friggin drinker and funnier than me.
-Bailey likes me better than his owner. (Settle down, he's a dog.)
-Sir Nicholas, still has the ability to display amazing banter. (This time with a stripper.)
-Jed and B.J. enjoy ralphing right next to each other in parking lots of nice restaurants.
-I have no problem telling a stripper that the dollar dance she gave me was shit! I mean come on, I should be a fresh breath of air compared to some of the dudes that roll in there. So show me some love!
-Sir Nicholas's chick, might not be too fond of his friends. (Ex: Bad cruise interactions and drunken voice messages.)
-If you ever are looking to eat mass quantities of beef in Chicago then go to a restaurant called Fogo de Chao. Oh my gosh, it was like fat kid heaven. Waiters come around and offer you 15 different cuts of beef non-stop. And to go along with that, they have a salad bar. It really was a dream come true.
- I watched the show "Fat Camp" on MTV the other day. All I can say is wow! Now that is what I consider entertaining television.
-Lisa Lampanelli is the funniest comedian chick in the biz right now. If you have not heard her shit, I suggest you do.

Jammed Thumbs, Awkward Parking, and Isiah Thomas
-Speaking of basketball, I saw the movie "Glory Road" recenlty. My expectations were not that high and I thought the movie was very entertaining. I didn't particularly think Josh Lucas acted that well, but the story of the movie made up for it. Of course it had some flaws, but I did not find myself bored once during the film. Anybody that has any interest the game of basketball, should see this movie.
-I am glad to see Tyson Chandler learned how to play basketball again. Now I can somewhat understand why he was given $60 million.
-In my parking garage every person is designated their own spot and pays quite an amount of money to park there. My spot number is #360. Well, I get back to my spot Wed. night at 9:30 and this Acura, was in my spot. The other night I saw this same Acura is spot #361 (to the right of me). But for the last few weeks, Spot #361 has been open. So I figure some jackass is parking there late at night and not paying for the spot. I get friggin pissed and put a sign on the driver's window that says "Get the hell out of my spot! Or I'll tow your Ass." I'm thinking with this sign, I've solved the problem of this parking spot theif. The next day I see this Acura park in spot #361, right next to me. I then find out, that this person just recently got this spot and accidently parked in my spot. Can somebody say awkward?
-I seem to be having some bad luck with the parking garage.
-Hot milf Heather Locklear and I get all of Jon Bon Jovi's leftovers Richie Sambora got divorced last week. Women, please take a look at Heather and try to look like her as you get older. I gurantee that you will not have any marriage problems. (Except if your husband is in the band Bon Jovi)
-Antonio Davis's wife Kendra was charged with battery assault against a Naperville woman. That bitch is crazy! (I would still do her though)
-Isiah Thomas was charged with sexual harrassment by a marketing execuitve for the New York Knicks. And the next day he goes out and trades for Jalen Rose. This man, is the best GM ever!
-I know it's kind of late for my Super Bowl prediction, given that the game starts in a little over a hour. But I'll give my thoughts anyways. The Seahawks had by far a better regular season. Alexander had an MVP season and Hasselback threw the ball accurately. The defense did its job and they had a 14-2 record. Going into the playoffs, I did not think the Steelers had a chance in hell to go to the Super Bowl. But Rothensberger has been throwing the ball like a champ so far in the playoffs. And the defense has looked mighty impressive with that long hair dude Pomaleau (Spelling?) Just like everybody else I pick the Steelers. And not because Bettis is from Detroit, that means absolutely shit. Because of Rothesnbeger ability to throw the ball downfield and the play of the defense. I think Seattle will hang in there for awhile. Score: Steelers 27 Seahawks 20
-I friggin hate that new "Train" song. Wanna hear a good song, listen to OAR's "Love and Memories."
-Anybody that contributed to "Big Mommas House 2" to being #1 in the box office this past weekend, should be smacked in the head.
I'm out!

Bears venting, Scarlett Johansson, and good Honey Mustard
Other Random/Awkward Thoughts:
-At first, I understood why Antonio Davis went into the stand at the Bulls game. But after finding out how much a wacko his wife is and her track record of getting kicked out of her children's basketball games, it's evident there's something wrong with the woman. (I would still do her though.)
-I started watching the movie "Into the Blue," with Paul Walker and Jessica Alba (Wow!). It's actually not that bad of movie, pretty entertaining.
-Why is it that when I go to Walgreens there is a locked case for Claritin and Mach 3 Turbo Razors? So now it takes me an extra ten minutes to wait for a Walgreens representative to get them to open it up. If you reading this and are one of the indviduals going around stealing allegry pills and razor blades, try and set your goals a little higher.
-Nachos are the best thing to eat at a basketball game.
-I was shocked to hear my idol Howard Stern got a nose job and lipo on his chin. Very disappointed.
-So far the new Howard Stern Sirius Show has not lived up to my expectations. But there is still no comparison between Sirius and FM/AM Radio.
-I don't gell all the buzz about "My Name is Earl."
-Scarlett Johannson has joined my "Top Five." Congratulations Scarrlett, you have joined an elite class.
-A snow storm hit Chicago last Friday night. So you think people would stay in given the circumstances. So at midnight the bar I was at, kicks everybody out because it was over crowded. I don't get it? Why can't people stay home?
-It is impossible to find good Honey Mustard at the grocery store.
-The Bulls are a bad team.
-If I hear that friggin Pusscycat song again, I will get dangerous and hurt somebody.
-That Fall Out Boy song "Dance, Dance" is one hell of a song.
- I thought the Broncos were going to the Super Bowl and I was wrong.

An Awkward Start to the New Year.
-I went to the same bar that I went to last year for New Years and I am very pleased to say that I did not get locked out of the bar because of trying to urinate outside and no calzones were stolen. (Awkward Reference: Read "Missing calzones, cleavage, locked out, and no taxis" blog. )
- I saw "Munich" the other day. I thought it was well done and a very interesting movie to see. I also had the pleasure of having free commentary by an 80-year-old couple through-out the whole movie. (Awkward Idea: How about instead of decreasing the ticket price for senior citizens we increase it.)
-Alright, the first time I saw the Trans-Siberian Orchestra commercial (the one with the Christmas lights on the house and the John Tesh sounding song. http://www.trans-siberian.com/intro.html) I thought it was cool. But by the 536th time the commerical tends to get a little annoying. (Awkward Question: Is the person who's in charge of putting this commercial on air non-stop, the same individual who is playing the Nickleback "Photograph" song on every single radio station?)
-I am proud to announce that I have successfully gotten my car back after the automatic garage door fiasco. (Awkward Hanukah Addition: I have now have Sirius Radio hooked up, so I am heavily anticipating January 9th!)
-I don't know why, but everytime "Meet the Barkers" (The Blink-182 Drummer Reality Show) is on MTV, I always watch it. It probably has to go down as one of the most pointless and boring shows in the history of television. (Awkward Pevert Idea: Have the the wife (Mrs. Barker) nude on camera at all times.)
-I am happy to see Comcast Sports replay all the White Sox play-off games. (Awkward Sox Fan Says: Cub fans still suck.)
-Speaking of my White Sox, what a job GM Kenny Williams has done this off-season. Instead of staying pat with the team that has just won the World Series he trades fo Jim Thome, Javier Vaquez, Rob Machoviak and re-signs Paul Kornerko and Jon Garland. (Awkward Apology: Mr. Kenny Williams, I apologize for all the mean and hurtful things I have said about you in the past. You are a extremely intellingent and talented baseball GM and thank you for what you have done for the White Sox organization.)
-Has our society gone crazy with the whole TV thing? There is no where I can go without seeing a friggin TV screen. I mean first I see one riding in a taxi cab, then I see one in the elevator, and then I saw one while I waiting in line at the grocery store. I mean, I'm all about watching TV, but don't you think this is a little excessive? (Awkward Suicide: Waiting in a crowded elevator, with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra commercial playing on the TV screen, and the Nickleback "Photograph" song playing.)
-It sure is nice to see Rex Grossman playing QB for the Bears. (Awkward Prediction: The Bears will not make the Super Bowl. Unfortunately.)
-I've come to the conclusion that Mexican is my favorite type of food. Awkward Fat Kid Favorite:Tostadas.)
-Even though the British version is way better, I've become a Fan of the TV show "The Office." (Awkward Peverted TV Dilemna: If "The Office was on the same time as "Meet the Barkers" with Mrs. Barker naked.)

Cerebral Palsy, Enterprise Rentals, and Stuffing
-The White Sox overspent for Paul Kornerko. 5 years/60 million? That's insane!
-Why do random people always choose to talk to me on the Train. Is there a sign on my back that reads "Please talk me, I like people"?
-I saw a commercial for the movie "The Kid and I," starring and written by Tom Arnold. The film is about a teenager with Cerebral Palsy, who gets the opportunity to star in an action movie. I'm confused, is Tom Arnold playing the kid?
-So, I have to rent a car from Enterprise because I wrecked my car after breaking my building's automatic garage door. (Previous Blog) So they give me a Big-ass Ford Expedition.(Thanks B.J.) And now that car does not fit into the parking garage. (I friggin give up!)
-I'm not too happy I missed Oprah on Letterman the other night.
-I hope nobody saw me on TV for the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade. I looked like a friggin fat idiot.
-I watched the Real World Reunion and I thought it was better than any of the season's episodes. How the hell did that pastey retard Wes get Johanna?
-Very disappointed in the movie "Ice Harvest."
-I watched my IU Hoosiers lose to #1 Duke the other night. And there is no question that they are talented, especially Killingsworth. So I have come to the conclusion, that I will fight anybody that says Mike Davis is a good coach.
-Stuffing is a such an underrated food. Why can we only eat it during Thanksgiving?
-If any radio D.J. is reading this blog, you got to stop playing Nickleback's "Photograph" I mean its enough already.
-Could somebody explain why the Bulls decided to give Tyson Chandler a max contract, when he has the Basketball IQ and offensive talent of Mike Tyson.
-Did you get the last comment? They both have the name Tyson. (Wow, am I good!)
-The day after Thanksgiving, I went to Circuit City at 7:30 a.m. because of a DVD sale. I think my Dork-o-meter just went up to a 9. (It only goes up to 10.)

The Automatic Garage Door
It was a beautiful chilly Friday Morning in November. Just like any normal week day, a young man named Jonno leaves for work. Jonno walks to his car, which is on the third level of a parking garage. He gets into his car and quickly turns on Howard Stern. Jonno waits for a few minutes to warm up his car. He realizes that just like any other day, he is running late. Jonno backs out of his parking spot and goes down a ramp to exit the parking garage. At the end of a downhill ramp is an automatic garage door. This auomatic garage has a sensor, and once the car is close to the door, the garage door goes up. As Jonno gets close to the garage door, it would not go up. Jonno then thinks to himself "Well, this is strange." But he refuses to panic. After over a year of using this automatic garage door, this same situation has ocurred once before. So what Jonno did that time, was reverse and then try again and the automatic garage door worked. Given that success, he thought he would try that again. Jonno reversed his car and then went forward again. The garage door did not go up. And this time Jonno was only a few feet away from the garage door on a downhill slope. Jonno was not sure what to do. He quickly thought about honking his horn, hoping that somebody that worked in the garage would come to his aid. But he decided not to. Jonno knew he had to reverse, but was a bit worried because of the closenes to the door and the downhill position of the ramp. So he knew he had to reverse as quickly as possible, to ensure that the car went backwards. With Jonno's foot on the brake, he put his car in reverse. He then quickly put his foot on the accelerator and for some unfortunate reason the car went forward and straight into the garage. Jonno in complete shock, realized he had just completely destroyed the automatic garage door and wrecked his car. It was almost like a scene out of a Vin Diesel action movie. In many people's eyes Jonno may be looked at, as an idiot, douche bag, or a retard. But to many people on the third floor parking garage, Jonno is recognized as a hero. Now, nobody will ever have to deal with the automatic garage door not working, thanks to Jonno's courageous act of bravery.

Entourage, Ozzie's Hair, and Fattening Chipotle
-I don't know what it is, but I seem to have bad luck in movie theaters. I always sit around people that talk. And I don't have the friggin guts to tell them to shut the hell up. Damn, people suck!
-I started watching the first season of "Entourage" on DVD. I gotta say, I like the show. But at the same time it kind of gets me jealous. Why couldn't one of my friends from High School, been some cool, good lucking, famous actor? Then I would get to live off his money, never work, and get leftover women. (Lesson for youngsters: Only be friends with cool, good looking people. Nice friends will you get you nowhere.)
-Ozzie Guillen sure has a great head of hair. Very underrated.
-Just found out that I will be in the Thanksgiving parade on a float, promoting the company I work for. (And no I am not going to be one of the blimps.)
-Is it just me or does anybody else have trouble finding the type of pickles they desire in the grocery store? I could of sworn that I was there for a good half-hour.
-That Melinda girl from the "The Real World," sure has a nice rack.
-Christian Slater fell off a roof, while intoxicated at a Paris Hilton party. This is the best career move he has had made, since the movie "Hard Rain."
-I heard there was some gay dude making anti-semitic remarks on the "Apprentice" this past week. Somebody please put a muzzle on that damn fairy.
-How sad is it that I still can't watch scarey movies?
-Drew, I hope you're giving this blog a thumbs up.
-The Bulls look less talented this season, but they're still playing their asses off.
-When will Isiah Thomas be relieved of his general manager responsibilites?
-Nicole Richie looks gross as hell.
-I made a Turkey Burger on my Foreman at 2 o'clock in the morning. How fat and pathetic is that?
-I recently found out how bad Chipotle Burritos are for you. Even my Burrito Bowls have like over 30 grams of fat. (Not counting sour cream or guacamole.) http://www.chipotlefan.com/index.php?id=nutrition_calculator
-I sure could go for some Chipotle right now.

Randomness Diarrhea
-"Jarhead" looks like a hell of a movie.
-Is "Arrested Development" still on the air?
-What a waste of a pick for my fantasy team by taking Daunte Culpepper 3rd overall.
-Halloween is just an excuse for girls to dress slutty.
-Jerry Reinsdorf has to be one of the most under appreciated owners in sports. I can't not tell you how many people in the White Sox organization said they wanted to win the championship for him.
-Nickleback's song "Photograph" is a decent song, but it's getting way too overplayed.
-Jessica and Nick went to Italy to save their marriage. (If you believe in this shit, then get the hell off my blog!)
-Baked Cheetos, are an amazing snack.
-Phil, congratulations on your wedding. Sorry I cannot make it.
-Riding the elevator in my building with other tenants, can be annoying and awkward. (There is a long story to this.)
-The Bulls do not look good. I understand why they traded Curry, but his presence will be missed.
-How can a guy named Rover take over for Howard Stern?
-I saw a hilarious comedian named "The Reverend Bob Levy," the other night. He was cracking the shit out of me.
-Vince Vaughn is one lucky dude.
- I am upset I missed the White Sox parade.
-The show "Lost" is not very good this season.
-Taking a Vacation Day, is extremely underrated.
-What a shitty movie "The Longest Yard" is. Sandler, give it up.
-Will SNL ever be funny again?
-Joe Crede is ready to be an All-Star.
-If you ever are not looking forward to something. Try to make it seem like the worst possible thing in the world and then it will not be so bad.
-I don't see any team, other than the Bears winning that crapfest of a division.
-Stallone is making another "Rocky" and "Rambo movie. I can't wait for the follow up to "Stop or my Mom will Shoot."
-Is Estelle Getty still alive?
-If you haven't seen my Second City Writing Show yet, you live near the city, and are somewhat interested . . . Then please go see it, but do not feel forced.

WHITE SOX GOING TO THE SERIES!
The first thing you got to be impressed with is the pitching. When the hell is the last time four starters went the distance back to back? Contreas, Buerhle, Garland, and Garcia were just phenomenal. I mean Contreas was a guy that we desperately wanted off this team during the season. Somehow he got his shit together and has become the ace of this staff. You know you got an amazing pitching staff, when the bullpen is used for only 2/3 of inning over a course of five games.
There is no question that the White Sox have mediocre hitting. But they were able to get the hits at the right time. One guy, who my dad constantly bashes for being a lazy idiot is Joe Crede. During the season except for the last month, Crede had been pretty much worthless. But in the play-offs, he has looked like Mike Schmidt. He's gotten big hit after big hit. I know Paul Kornerko got the MVP for the AL series, but I think Crede deserves it more.
Speaking of Kornerko, boy has free agency come at the right time. Hitting 40 homers in back to back seasons has guaranteed big money for him. Now after his post-season performance, who the hell knows how much cash he is going to get thrown at him? I used to think that Kornerko was not worth the money, but after watching these play-off games I can't imagine our line-up without him. Kenny Williams will have a tough decision to make this off-season.
Speaking of Kenny, boy have I hated this guy ever since he's stepped into the GM position. I've thought he's made some of the worst moves for this organization. But somehow he has been able to prove me wrong. I never thought in my wildest dreams that he would be the GM of a team going to World Series. He built extremely deep and strong pitching staff. And this past off-season, he brought in the right guys. Iguchi, Podsednik, Pyzernski, Hermanson, Jenks, and Dye have all been smart moves. I guess this is why, I'm sitting on my ass writing this blog and he's GM of the Chicago White Sox.
I'm not a fan of making predictions, but I think the Sox are going to win the World Series. Right now I would rather face the Houston Astros. They are leading the Cardinals 3-1 in their series. The Cardinals offense scares the hell out of me. The Astros do have good starting pitching with Clemens, Oswalt, and Pettite. But at the same time, I think our squad matches up better against them.
PREDICTION: Whoever the hell we play, we'll win in FIVE.
I'm out!
P.S. Sorry, I almost forgot. Cub fans, you still suck.

Alert to all DORKS: Fantasy Football Preview!
(The following rankings are based on each player's fantasy value, not their actual talent.)
Top Five QB's
1. Peyton Manning-This man is a fantasy GOD. The numbers he puts up every week is above and beyond any other QB. If you have this man on your fantasy team and do not win the championship, then you are offically retarded.
2.Daunte Culpepper-I used to think Warren Moon was the only brotha that can throw the pigskin, but I was wrong. Culpepper has emerged as a top QB in this league with his freakish athletic skills and strong arm. Without Moss, his numbers will hurt a little bit, but at the same time he won't have the pressure to throw Moss the ball. Keep in mind, that Minnesota has a new Offense Coordinator so that can sometimes change a team's philosophy. If you are looking for a WR, Nate Burleson will be a good pick because it looks like he's Culpepper's #1 guy.
3. Kerry Collins-This guy has been my sleeper since day 1 of the offseason. Why? Two words: Randy Moss. Any QB that throws to Moss will put up huge numbers. To go along with that they also have Jerry Porter, RB Lamont Jordan, and a great offensive minded coach in Norv Turner. They're also in a talented offensive division that will have to throw the ball to stay in games. Collins will easily have over 4,000 yards.
4-Marc Bulger-Even though I think Mike Martz is a horrible head coach, he is friggin obsessed with passing. The Rams have an easy schedule and an easy division. The key is for Bulger to stay healthy. He has a crappy offensive line and does not handle hits well. Nonetheless, he is a great Fantasy QB.
5-Trent Green-I know people are going to ask "Where is Donovan McNabb?" I just think there is too much turmoil in Philly. Every year Green puts up huge numbers and he gets no respect. Kansas City has one of the best offenses in the NFL, so there is no reason to overlook him.
Top Five RB's
1.LaDainian Tomlinson-No question LT is the best back in Football. He gets a crap load of rushing and receiving yards. I will say to watch out for they're tough schedule and I also wonder when will this kid break-down because of over usage. Because it happens to every running back sometime in their career.
2.Priest Holmes-Would be the #1 back if he didn't have injury problems and was a few years younger. But when this man plays, he friggin plays! But again, will he stay healthy? And how many touches will Larry Johnson get?
3.Clinton Portis-Some people may think this is a weird pick. One of my major philosophies in Fantasy Drafts, is to take players coming off bad years who have a lot to prove. After signing a huge contract and not performing up to his expectations, Portis has tons to prove. He has tons of talent and a year of experience under Gibb's offensive system, so look for him to rebound.
4.Julius Jones-This guy showed plenty of flashes in limited action last year. Parcells loves to run the ball and he has built a very strong offensive line. I expect great things!
5.Duece McAllister-Many people may be wondering "Where is Shaun Alexander?" I'm not a big fan of Alexander. I think he is a bit soft and doesn't get enough receiving yards. Duece was slowed a bit from an injury last year, but when he got healthy he put up the numbers. It will be a tough season for the Saints because of everything that has happened in New Orleans. So the Saints will use Duece as much as possible to carry the load.
Top 5 WR's
1.Randy Moss- Moss had a bad year last year. He was hurt and did not perform up to his talent level. Now he has a new team and so much to prove that he is the best WR in the NFL. Expect a monster year, similar to Owen's in Philly last year.
2.Torry Holt-How does this guy not get any respect? Every year this guy puts up 1,000 yard/10TD seasons and yet nobody talks about him. He's got a good offense and easy schedule, so expect the same consistent numbers he always puts up.
3.Marvin Harrison-For Harrison standards, he had a bit of an off year. It wasn't really his fault, it's just that Manning found other weapons in Wayne and Stokely. But look for Harrison to bounce back and put up the numbers he is known to put up. Fun Fact: They survey the top NFL Defensive Backs and the majority said that Harrison is the most difficult WR to face.
4.Terell Owens-Terrell would be ranked #2 if he wasn't a raging A-Hole. So who knows what he is going to do. If the Eagles start to lose games, he could quit on his team. But if he plays, I do not see any reason why he cannot come close to the numbers he put up last year.
5.Chad Johnson-Johnson's numbers all depend on the development of Carson Palmer. Palmer showed flashes last year, but the question is can he do it for the whole season. Anyways, Johnson is a huge talent and you will be very fortunate to have him on your team.
So there you go! Hopefully I entertained the fellow dorks out there and did not bore my other fans into a coma. Can't wait till Sunday.
I'm out!

Kiss My Scorched Ass!
So after getting comfortable with the whole tanning thing, I decided to get a little risque. (I apologize beforehand, if I gross anybody out here.) Because I tan in my boxers, I was noticing that everything, but my butt was getting tanned. As a reuslt, I was having trouble telling the difference between my ass and Casper the Friendly Ghost. So I decided to pull down my boxers, so my "junk in the trunk" could get some color. Why did I decide to do this? I have no idea. To my knowledge, I am not planning on doing any nude modeling anytime soon. Although I have received some offers from "PlayJew."
Later that night, I realized that my ass was itching like crazy. I then went to the bathroom to realize that my ass was scorched. I mean it ws burned beyond belief and it only got worse. It became more and more painful. Almost to the point, where I had trouble sitting down. And I'm going through all this discomfort, for no reason all. Just so I can have a red painful ass that nobody else will see. I guess the lesson is here people, stop pressuring pathetic, idiotic people like myself that tanning is necessary to look good. Or else, ridiculously stupid mishaps such as a scorched red ass will occur.
A few quick thoughts:
-Huge blow to the Bears that Grossman is out for the year. Both of his season injuries have occured from normal hits and falls that a NFL QB takes. It's time to give up on Grossman and start Orton as your QB of the future. And Cedric Benson, you suck. (For also another reason that I will not mention.)
-Why do they keep allowing Rob Schnieder to make movies? There has to be more talented people in Hollywood than this short schumk. Watch me look like a dumbass and the movie makes $30 million its opening weekend.
-Julia Roberts has decided to quit acting. Only women and Gay men will be affected by this.
-I watched the season finale of ABC's "Hooking Up." That has to be one of the best shows in the history of television.
-Move over Will Ferrell, Steve Carell will be the next big comedy star after his movie "40 Year-Old Virgin" comes out.
-Retarded people do not belong in tanning salons.
