10 - June 16, 2010


Initial Impressions

June 16, 2010

1.      So my first night in my new place I came to realize that the showerhead faces the door to the shower.  Found this out when the water pressure blew the door open.  Thankfully I solved that problem real fast.
2.      It’s always great when you go to take money out of an ATM and the screen is covered with some sticky liquid.  I did not want to test and see what it was, I had to pick and choose where I touched the screen, just nasty.
3.      Listen, I know people are upset and disappointed in the Celtics performance in Game 6, me being one, but hearing a guy call WEEI and cry made me rethink exactly how bad things really are.  Crying?  Dude, watch soap operas and leave sports to men.
4.      Just a little something I have noticed, women always call their friends ‘girlfriends.’  How do you think it would go over if guys referred to their friends as ‘boyfriends?’
5.      Some people just don’t realize how great they are and settle for much less than they are worth.  Just an observation.
6.      I have asked several people this: Do you think Phil Jackson is overrated or underrated?  I say overrated and I’ll tell you why.  Although he is one of the best coaches ever, he is not Red Auerbach.  Red created the teams that are some of the greatest of all-time, Phil Jackson inherited them.  He did not acquire Jordan, or Kobe, he just got more out of them.
7.      So writers are saying Kobe is playing for his status as one of the all-time greats.  Here are my Top 5 basketball players of all-time in no particular order: Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson.  Discuss.
8.      Haven’t looked them up but have found myself wondering if there are porno flicks named after the Choco Taco, and the song ‘Come On, Eileen.’  Am I the only one who think there are?
9.      “We need a nice clean towel here at summer camp.  Not one who shoots heroin and has sex for money.”  Only South Park can come up with something so random but so insanely funny.  That is from the episode ‘Crippled Summer’ if you want to check it out.
10.  Happened upon my barbell earring today which formerly resided in my right eyebrow.  Hadn’t seen that thing since about 2001, yes I had my eyebrow pierced, actually before my ear, it was a quarter-life crisis deal.
11.  I find it very amusing when celebrities update their status on Myspace that a bunch of people leave comments like their talking to them.  Hey, loser, they don’t know who the hell you are and they don’t read your stupid comments!  ‘Duh, Alicia Keys, I totally agree that such and such a film is great too.’  Fools.
12.  Looking at my Nana’s microwave and my Nana’s television only serves to remind me of how much I miss her, but I know that she is with me.
