Manny and Big Papi...

Well today came the report that Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz both tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in 2003. Well, I don't have to much to say about the report. But I have a lot to say about how they are handling it. Ramirez AGAIN refuses to discusses his reported PED use. Big Papi on the other hand? He had the guts to get in front of the media and and tell them that he was surprised to hear he had tested positive. He told them that he would get the info and talk to them about. That he wouldn't run from this news. Manny? Here is a guy who hid from his own team for a MONTH before he would formally apologize to them for getting suspended for steroid use. Big Papi is going to look good because of how bad Manny continues to deal with this. Much props Papi.

Greetings From the Whale's Vagina...

I am finally in San Diego and I have internet access. I am excited to be in San Diego and starting my new jobby job. There are a lot of great things about my apartment and let me just list a few:

1. HBO!!! Thats right. I get free HBO.
2. As part of my compensation I get to live in a two story, three bedroom town-house style apartment.
3. No more waiting in line to do laundry. Why? Because my apartment comes with its own washer and dryer.
4. Great weather.
5. Two balconies/patios. One in the living room and one outside the guest bedroom.
6. The apartment has built in wireless internet.

I am really digging the new apartment as you can tell. Now I just gotta find my groove when it comes to this job. I guess I just need to keep my ears and eyes open while I learn the ropes out here. Alright y'll I will post some pictures and video of the apartment later. Until then enjoy Aziz Ansari's new character RAAAAAAANDY. Hilarious.

Found the Internet and Coloring Books...

I found the internet!!! It was right outside my door. Literally
I found an internet connection the only catch is I have to be on the little stoop/patio outside of my mom's place. So here I am sitting enjoying the sunshine and the internet.
I was laying down trying to get to sleep a couple of nights ago and I though of something? "Do kids still get excited about coloring books?" Seriously? I remember when I was a kid over the summer I loved nothing more than drawing or coloring a coloring book. Especially if the coloring book told a story or have connect the dots or paint by numbers pages in them. But now I looks at kids and I cant imagine them being interested in coloring books!!! My half-brother is about to be 8 and he already has a cell phone, an xbox and is constantly playing on his mom's iPhone. Its ridiculous the amount of technological toys available to little kids.
The only reason that me and my brother even got a nintendo was because the lady that my dad was having an affair with had a nintendo and he felt bad that we didnt have one but that this kid did. But back to my point, kids are being overly stimulated at a young age.
I dont want kids playing on PSPs or Nintendo DSs. I want them to use coloring books. Before you know it they will be extinct. By the time we have kids they wont know what the hell a newspaper is, or lay-away (thats for my poor friends out there), or hell even chocolate milk? I havent seen a commercial for chocolate milk in ages? Do kids still drink it. All I am saying is lets let kids return to a simpler childhood.
