Disney Sports Movies, Life, Playoff Baseball

As I sit here watching game 4 of the ALCS between the Yankees and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, I am reminded of a few things:

1. The American League is a poor excuse for a baseball league. Tell your pitchers to learn how to hit and tell that extra juiced bat on the bench to lay off the roids and play right field!
2. Those that know me know that my dislike for the Yankees is great. One of my classic young memories was when I attended the first regular season interleague game between the Yankees and Mets at the old Yankee Stadium. Upon entering the stadium with my Mets jersey on, I was immediately the object of scorn for two inebriated Yankee fans, who hurled profanity my way until my father ushered me to our seats. So, I love the Mets but as they are terrible, I watch the Yankees this postseason. THAT BEING SAID:
3. I don't trust the Angels. When Disney makes a movie featuring your real team, a team that exists in the real world and plays real baseball, you are an object of scrutiny. Angels in the Outfield? Come on.
4. That goes for the Mighty Ducks also. This isn't Air Bud, this is the NHL. 
5. In the National League, we've got the Phillies THE WORST POSSIBLE TEAM and the Dodgers (spurners of Brooklyn). What's a Met fan to do?
6. Watch football, we've got 2 good teams in New York
7. WHAT? The Jets and Giants both lost this past week?? Badly? Jesus
8. I'm going back to reading tech blogs.

Long Island Rail Road

train ride back from a big meeting
city-bound
"As you exit the train, please watch the gap between the train and the platform."

the girl sitting across the aisle from me is laughing out loud in response to some electronic communication of an undisclosed nature
LOLing

out the window
majestic Queens unfolds

in the distance the skyline looms
New York's version of mountains

my neighbor has calmed down
i guess emotion is fleeting on a blackberry

"Attention ladies and gentlemen, we are now approaching Penn Station..."

Peace Prize? LOL

So Barack Obama is going to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize by some Swedish people you have probably never heard of. I'm happy for him, its really cool and all that, but lets be real: what exactly has Barack done to merit this award? Simply not actively messing things up for 9 months can't be the only measure of success they look at. If so, I would be up for this award! Also aren't we about to maybe send a ton of our boys into Afghanistan? I'm not speaking as to the wisdom of our military endeavors, but the fact is that we are engaged in 2 Middle Eastern countries.

I'm not saying I don't love and trust Barack to continue running this country. I'm also not saying that I don't support his calls for nuclear disarmament and peace in general: I totally do. I'm just saying that maybe they threw him this so that he wouldn't be so upset about going all the way to Copenhagen just to have Chi-town lose the Olympics.

Bonus Question: Three other US Presidents have won in the past. Name them, and their accomplishment that merited the Prize. You might win a personal email from me, if I remember.

Its been a while

I know it has been a while since my last post. Sam, well, he's around somewhere. If he wants back in, he knows where to come.

Anyway, I am going to try and get back into this. It was good for a while but its easy to fall off. I will say this: if you send me links, articles, etc. I will review and post them here, and always give props to my sources.

In other news, I have begun a new internet endeavour this summer. I took up the ukulele and have posted some videos of my playing. Here is my latest one, "Sloop John B" by The Beach Boys



It has been a fun project so far, and I hope to continue this as well. I'll start posting my other videos here too for the enjoyment of THE NATION OF CHAMPIONS.

My youtube channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/deadheadmon

Hasta kid-uego for now. Let it be known that His Champion is BACK!
