I finally feel kinda sort of like an actual adult. I'm moving out, just like in Anthony's Song. I'm paying for stuff and putting on the big boy pants. Kinda sucks, but I'll deal.
But I think insurance is a huge fraud, and this is coming from someone who knows how it works and had a parent in the business. My car insurance has gone up and I had no accidents, no problems. WTF mate? And the magic number is 25 and that is when your insurance starts to go down. Why 25? I guess they think you are adult enough at 25 to settle down and move away from your immature ways. Well when I'm 25, I am still going to laugh at fart jokes and make fun of people. I'll show them maturity.
Job searching is rolling on and not paying much dividends. Oh well, something will come my way and when it does I'll knock their socks off. Until then I plan on sitting on the couch in nothing but socks.
The World Series starts tomorrow night. I wish Bob Costas did the games like the early 90's. Then they would be enjoyable. I would rather be violated with a pool cue than hear Joe Buck and Tim McCarver talk about America's pastime. A long and splintered pool cue for that matter.
It's the opening night of high school football playoffs and I will be in Jefferson. I'll be broadcasting what could be my final high school game. WEIRD. Oh well, it's been a hell of a run and I am ready to move on.

The Idiot Box....
I should really look up where that nickname came from for the television. I love TV. I love the fact that you can sit down in your home and watch whatever tickles your fancy. And I love what has become of it, in the way of modernization. There are shows for everybody. Even for me. And a lot of my shows fall under the creepy, killer, suspense, comedy with dick and poop joke variety. No easy task. So let's follow down the rabbit hole and take a look at shows I watch on a regular basis.
Monday - I watch How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory. I rarely watch anything on network TV anymore, but these two defy that and are really staples for any comedy lover. HIMYM is like Friends, if Friends was less whiny and more awesome. And TBBT is funny with sterotype jokes, which I love.
Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - Absolutely nothing. Not even on cable. On occasion I watch Dirty Jobs on Tuesdays because Mike Rowe is a BA. I mean the guy worked as a high-rise window washer in Hawaii for a day. He was 400 feet in the air and repelled down a building in 30 mph winds. The man has stones the size of grapefruits. As I watched, I wanted to dry-heave while I was sitting on the couch.
Wednesday - It's all about Nip/Tuck on FX, or as I like to call it, the most consistent cable network. They have at least 3 other shows I should be watching, but Nip/Tuck is what I do view. It's on the downhill slide in it's final two seasons. But it's still as bat-shit crazy as ever. Nudity, drugs, violence, Mario Lopez making a penis mold. It has it all. And oh yeah soundtrack is bad ass when they do their surgeries. Last night's choice music, Gary Jules' version of Mad World. Or as it's better known, music that makes you poop yourself because it's so creepy.
Thursday - In college Thursday was the best night for drinking, and now that I am not in school and lame, it is the best night for television. Community is awfully good on NBC. Love me some Joel McHale and the rest of the cast is solid. It's goofy and rather predictable, but I am a sucker for sarcastic leading characters. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is my favorite show and it should be yours too. They tackle every polarizing issue like abortion, rape, gas prices, and economy all in good fun. And then they make a show about a guy pooping in a bed and have it be a mystery. Genius comes in all forms, and IASIP is at the top of the class. And now a special mention for The League on FX starting next Thursday. I have no idea how you make an entire show about a group of friends playing fantasy football, but the promos look awesome. And we would all be lying if we said we didn't think about fantasy football in weird locales like the promos show (i.e. during sex, at a funeral). So keep your head on a swivel for that new show.
Lastly, but not leastly, I watch Dexter but only on DVD. I am not fortunate enough to have Showtime, so I part with $30 bucks every August when the season comes out. It's perfect television and Michael C. Hall is the best actor on TV. And if you don't agree that's too damn bad.
Well this was an exercise in writing about what I like. I hope you like them too, otherwise we can't be friends anymore.

When I'm sad, I stop being sad and start being awesome...
The cat is out of the bag at work and everyone knows I am leaving for the Twin Cities. Telling people went better than I expected and it seems like everyone is okay with it, and I certainly am happy about the decision. But I do want to kick the old woman in her carotid artery for her stupid ass comments. I make comments about everyone, but everyone knows that's my MO. She is just a bitch about it. Case in point for my story time.
At a meeting this week our General Manager told everyone I was leaving and whatnot. He had nothing but good things to say and I was pleased. He finished up and the first thing out of her mouth was, "Yeah, he's going to live in sin with his girlfriend." I was absolutely floored that she said that in front of everyone. I shrugged it off, until three other co-workers came up and said she was out of line. So it's good to know other people have my back. Seriously, I hate her and I don't care about her grandchildren or her 6 kids. Yes, I realize it was a different time, but it's no real reason to treat your uterus like a clown car. Close it up or use a condom, it's not that tough of a concept.
In unrelated news, Monday is starting to rival Thursday for funniest night on television. How I Met Your Mother has always been on my radar, but it's even better this year. I absolutely love me some Jason Segel. Everything he has been in TV or movie wise has been absolute gold. And what can you say about NPH. The man is a god, a myth, and a legend at the same time. And after fighting it, I am now watching The Big Bang Theory regularly. I fought it mainly because my dad watches it and said it was the funniest show on TV. And I take my dad's funny opinion with a grain or should I say a metric ton of salt. But, alas, the show is funny and enjoyable. Proving once again the age old equation that: nerds + hot girl + Indian and Jewish stereotypes = hilarious.

The Definitive Hate Post....
Ah Britt Far, how I despise you. I give you and your team credit because you won your game last night. You played a near flawless game, and for that should be congratulated. Your defense (despite giving up 23 points) was ridiculous and made the packers look slow and old. Let's be serious, the Packers offensive lineman go down quicker than Mackenzie Phillips on take your daughter to work day. However, that's the only amount of credit I will give you.
Britt, you are a doucheclown. Everyone says you love the game and that's why you play. False. If you loved the game, you wouldn't of held out of training camp like a baby. You would have taken off your skirt, found your testicles and done what a man does, go to work. Instead, you skipped all the off-season stuff because you didn't want to tire yourself out. And I can understand, because all those sessions of hot butt sex with ESPN's announcers really tuckers a guy out. So you skipped everything in the off season so you wouldn't have to put in the actual work. AND THEN you have the audacity to claim you're not on the same page yet with your receivers. You know how you get on the same page. By showing up to work on time and by practicing.
"He's just a guy playing the game," was said 8,000 times on the broadcast last night. I counted. And if I'm not mistaken, they are all just guys playing games. So the Favre love has to stop. The man is mortal, and for that matter old and rundown. Sure he had a great game, but lets take a look at who the Viqueens have beaten. Cleveland, Detroit, San Francisco, and Green Bay. So you have beaten two teams that may be in the playoff hunt, one of which was pulled so far out of Britt's ass he found one of Richard Gere's gerbils, and two that are considered Arena League teams. Play somebody that matters. They have a stretch against Baltimore, and then at Pittsburgh, and at Green Bay. Can you say 0-3 during those games.
And finally, I am sick of the everyman label put on Favre. "He's having fun out there," the teat sucklers will say. Well of course he is. He is making 12 million bucks to throw the ball 20 times a game and hand off to the league's best player. Hell, I would bathe in lighter fluid while smoking a cigar for $12 million. So let's stop with the nonsense.
I love the fact that I hated Britt well before everyone else. Sure, it's because I was jealous, but also the hint of doucheiness that was around when he walked in a room. Had his own locker room, never really was a friend or befriended by any of his teammates. Always looking out for #1. So yeah I guess that means he is an everyman. As long as everyman is an arrogant prick.
