10.28.07 - last fire post... i swear

so i was lookin' around at some old stuff from firestorm '03... it kinda relates to this year's... too bad i couldn't find the psd's.. but i improvise.

welcome to san diego
my house survived...

this world series is so lopsided -- check this pic out. the king of closers prefers the king of beers [ img ]

10.25.07 - scorched earth

the smokiness continues -- i feel like i have black lung...

Zoolander
boo!

the worst part about the world series has got to be the commercials... oh yea, and tim mccarver... but mainly the commercials. every game lasts longer than 3 hours... blah...
i'm glad the padres aren't in the world series... you thought yesterday's game was embarrassing... the padres woulda stunk even more... you know it's true

where will the chargers play? arizona has a bye this weekend so i guess their home is our home? i'm excited to see chambers play -- give LT and gates a break...

10.23.07 - firestorm 2007

so it's 1:00am right now and i'm still not at home -- it's been a long-ass day and tomorrow will just be longer. who knows what'll happen tomorrow -- just hotter weather, more santa ana's, and more displacement...

i'm currently with my bro in law's family in pq -- we got a reverse 9-1-1 call earlier today, but we're not yet moving... so far, no signs of fire in the scripps ranch area (according to nbc7)...

here are the links i've been following:

stay safe out there, peoples...

10.18.07 - did somebody say, "plug"?


tobias fünke

so i/gorirra made a site for my friend, andy (yes -- this guy) where anyone can go in and submit a caption to a cartoon and get a chance to win some money. it's all free.. no spam... no catches... no government conspiracy...

he has a goal of having 200 submissions -- currently 140ish -- so yea... if you have some time to spare, visit the site and submit a caption... it could be the easiest $200 you made this month

CapContest.com

...and if you wanna spread the word about it -- print out this flyer and post it all around [ pdf ]

10.16.07 - another dimension

so the chargers just signed chris chambers (thanks for the heads up, rob) [ link ]

chambers

i had him on my fantasy team last year -- and i was pondering about keepin' him... good thing i didn't -- check out his stats [ yahoo ]. ouch -- zero td's on a piss poor miami team (you shouldn't have left, cameron...) (btw -- what a crappy nfl site the dolphins have... how much flash content can you jam into a web page?)

we'll see tho -- maybe a change of scenery is what he really needed -- it's the friggin chargers... how can you not perform like a pro bowler... oh... hmmmm..

so the rox are makin' it to the world series... effin' a... holliday still hasn't touched home plate... but whatever, we woulda been swept in the DS anyway... but thank god... no more franktv commercials...

now i just have to deal with those dane cook commercials (wtf mate?) -- the best parody - snl [ youtube ] -- effin' hilarious...

oh yea, and i keep forgetting -- dane cook says, "there's only one... OCTOBER!"
well for the padres, "there's only october ONE!" -- i'm a friggin' genius... print that shizz

what the hell? how is paul byrd not balking every time he pitches? and the double pump too -- that's not cool, man... not cool.

10.15.07 - i need to write

i just need to write -- been a long time since i last updated this (10 days? yea.. that's an eternity)

my fantasy football team sucks asshole. i can't explain it -- they just suck... i have no highlights on my team... i do, however, have names... like edge, benson, asselbeck (mark). since it's a keeper league, i'm pretty much gonna pull a "boston celtics" and throw each game so i can get better draft placement next year -- the other option is to do a fire sale... EVERYTHING MUST GO! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!!

is it spring yet? padre fans have something to be excited about -- got some farm talent that may crack into the big leagues next year -- antonelli who'll take over marcus giles (and apparently looks like a cactus) [ stats ] and chase headley, who hit .330 in AA [ stats ].

but where will koozy go? headley's a 3B -- there are rumors that koozy may be pushed to LF -- but that sounds like a dumb idea (recall branyan -- ouch).

i wanna see hairston in LF full time if bradley isn't signed...

10.05.07 - don't tase me, bro!

i love that phrase so much... "don't tase me, bro!" -- so awesome! that guy did not think he'd be an internet sensation...


thanks to dave

10.03.07 - piss... out... my... ass!

anyone see south park? it was awesome -- comedy central

here's another pic of those rascally yankees -- get a room, guys [ img ] (could be nsfw)
*thanks to andy -- obviously photshopped, but pwned!

how about that josh beckett? huh? ya think he got over the playoff jitters? he and peavy should talk... peavy might learn something...

shoulda been the padres playing today (but losing)... oh well... now it's up to the management guys to get us some new blood -- dontrelle? that'd be kinda sick... i'd like anyone who can throw fire... we got peavy with the nasty stuff... filth, disgusting stuff...

saw cavemen [ abc ] and thought it was pretty funny -- i think the funniest part was them playing the wii... or even the line, "great.. now we're gonna listen to james blunt all weekend" -- the "pop culture references" (xine) are what make the show...

i also watch a relatively unknown show called "cash cab" [ discovery ], it's a game show that's played in a cab in nyc. i swear sarmad's gonna be on this show -- so i keep watching... still no appearance. the cool thing about the show is that the answers are fairly easy (general knowledge) so i feel smart in the end, which is what i need sometimes.

10.01.07 - it's done

the season is no more for the padres... san diego sports just plain stinks this year (barring a miraculous comeback from the chargers)

that friggin game was one hell of a rollercoaster -- peavy was "ehhh," but the offense and the bullpen -- ohh the bullpen... pretty damn solid -- except for one person.. but i'm not gonna rant about him... retire? nah... he's still got some bullets in him -- weak ones... he can blow games, what closer doesn't? but damn, his pitches had no motion and were fuckin' beach balls

the balls were crushed to the gaps... crushed...

oh yea... and holliday missed the plate... but whatever... i can now watch baseball as an observer with no vested interest in the teams playing -- the way i'm used to...

so who do we keep for next year?

did i forget anyone we should keep? these are the folks whose contracts are expiring... [ link ]
