A Slapshot Sunday?

Alright alright alright, so Canada won Men's Hockey. And while it's disappointing, and I'd like the good ol' USA bring home the bacon (Canadian Bacon? Perhaps that would be a conflict of interest?), I think Americans are taking things a liiiiiittle too hard. A 7 News commentator who came on directly after the game yelled ignorantly into my television "YOU JUST AREN'T A SPORTS FAN IF THIS WASN'T AN INCREDIBLE GAME FOR YOU." And I gotta say, that I just HATE when people tell you that if you don't feel they way they do about something trivial, that you're total shit.

Also, 7 News interviewed a woman in a bar in Allston (frighteningly close to my idiot-proof home) who said "I'm just devastated, I really wanted USA to win the Gold, and I'm totally bummed out that they di'n't. Just devastated." OK. REALLY? DEVASTATED? Shouldn't we save terms like that for real tragedies? Get a fucking grip. I like sports too, and I watched the game, but honestly, let's get our heads out of our asses.

And when all the players from both teams play for the NHL, the supposedly inspiring division created by nations battling for supremacy on the ice is a bit lost, since most Americans will just go back to cheering for the Canadians when they re-join the pros in a few days. Can't we just let Canada have something fun for once? It must suck to always be the slightly less interesting/entertaining/cool version of America. Not that I don't loooove hundreds of thousands of ice and tundra.

Frazzled Fridays

Is is just me, or does everybody slip effortlessly into being completely retarded on Fridays? Despite my excitement about the upcoming weekend, I feel like a total fugtard today. Completely unable to focus on the things I need to get done, I have resorted to BLOGGING, which was rated on the New York Times' 100 Most Retarded Ways to Waste Your Time While Bolstering Self-Importance scale in 2009. Quite impressive.

So I've resorted to searching for puppies on Pe

tfinder.com, clicking "refresh" on FB, and harassing my coworkers. I told my boss this morning "I'm going to get so much done you're not even going to know it!" Which is clearly a completely incoherent statement, and is also truer than I had planned on it being.

Today's Accomplishments: 100' SS (70' upcoming), eating an entire bag of pita chips as a "snack," not calling in sick despite my deepest desires.

Today's Jam: "Still Not a Player" by Big Pun...(shoutout to Colleen!!! WHAT WHAAAT MOTHAFUCKA)

Today's Photo of the day (Snatched illicitly from somewhere on the www):

Obama meets the newest Junior Senator; and his successor to the Oval Office.

Another Gem: I like that this came up on PostSecret, because sorry buddy, but I'm guessing your knockers are a littttle biiit less of a secret than you think they are...

Am I new to this or is this new to me?

I've decided to start a blog. Mostly out of the self-righteous illusion that the thoughts that idly pass through my brain on their way to extinction are worthy of documentation and interesting enough for others to read.

My logic is as follows: I'm hard to amuse. I amuse myself. Ergo, I have the potential to amuse others.

Fuck you if you think my logic is flawed.

Let the merry blogging begin!
