Whooooo A little to much!!



A blitzed Mel Gibson launched into an obscenity-laced tirade when he was busted on suspicion of drunken driving early yesterday, threatening an officer and making anti-Semitic and sexually abusive remarks, according to a police report.

Wow, it the funniest thing I have heard in a while. I though Mel has lost it a while back, but this proves it. The whole make two movies in Dead Languages thing, and the crazy beard, nice Mel. You have proved you are a supreme ass.

According to the incident report obtained by TMZ.com, the Road Warrior embarked on a belligerent, anti-Semitic outburst when he realized he had been busted.

"Fucking Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," the report quotes him as saying.

"Are you a Jew?" Gibson asked the deputy, according to the report.

The actor also berated the deputy, threatening, "You motherfucker. I'm going to fuck you," according to the report.


Mel, Mel you have finally made it to the I have lost my mind catagory, I will never see a movie with you in it, or directed by you. I guess it took too much drink to show your true hatred.

What were they thinking?


Whoa, Stan Lee this is just not working. I mean Monkey Girl, Fat Momma, and what is with Cell Phone Girl? This is almost to laughable. The steroid freak was pretty funny as well, he wanted to kill people. Not what a superhero does.

This summer's tv programs are either full of crap and some really good shows. But are the crappy shows are way to awful to watch and the good ones you cannot miss, I guess this is the only one to fall into the category of watch it cause it is so bad, it is funny.

At least the summer is almost over and the regular shows begin.

On a side note, depending how much of a tv junkie you are, the pilot episode for Aquaman is availabe on iTunes for $1.99.

Also NBC will be putting pilot episode of some of their new tv show Heros on iTunes for free in September.

TV Show/Movie - Movie/TV Show


Why do they keep making lame ass tv shows based on movies, and the other way around?

Blade the TV series, did they screw the pooch on this, come on Sticky Fingas cannot act his way out of a parking ticket.

The Dukes of Hazzard, Starsky and Hutch, Æon Flux, and the live version of the Flintstones were such a waste. I heard they a making a Knight Rider movie. Please do not screw up the Transformers, but they probably will.

I think M*A*S*H* and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie was horrible) did it right coming from the movie screen to the boob tube. Now they want to make a 24 and a Sporanos movie. WE SEE THEM FOR FREE!!! Why would we want to pay to see them on a movie screen.

Now Serenity was a way to do it, Joss Whedon makes good tv and movies.

Please Hollywood, stop the remakes and redos and come up with something original.

Eureka!


Well the Scifi channel has come up with another gem, Eureka. What a fun pilot the other day. Basically here is the jist of the show "Nestled in the Pacific Northwest, Eureka is a seemingly ordinary town whose residents lead ordinary lives … at least to the naked eye. Shrouded in secrecy, the picturesque hamlet is actually a community of scientific geniuses assembled by the government to conduct top-secret research".

Why the big networks ever come up with great ideas I will never understand. The best shows on tv are not on the networks, they are on SciFi, HBO, and F/X.

24, House, Lost and Veronica Mars are the best network shows, but come on they cannot touch Battlestar Galactica, Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck or Deadwood.

Makes You Wanna Smack Someone

Not that elevator rides are the most pleasent things in the world, but will people get off the friggin' cell phones! I cannot stand being in a small confined space with some loud asshole, listening to their whole conversation.

The elevators in my office building are really slow, and having to ride up with a loud talking schmuck is the last thing I want to do.

Cellphone are the biggest convenience with the biggest annoyance, and please do not get me started on the annoying ring tones in the office, and the people who leave their phones at their desk so we all can hear it 20 times a day.

Ahh, the rant is over.

Funny New Show

I started watching this new show called Psych. It is pretty funny, most of the new summer shows have been horrible, or scarry to even think of watching ie. America's Got talent.

It was sad to see Gabriel "Picachu" Iglesias get kicked-off Last Comic Standing, he would have won so easily. I guess I will go with Josh Blue, funny dude.

Rehab is going well, 4-6 more months till I can swim again, at least my daughter is getting in.

Da Vinci Tech


I watch a show called Modern Marvels on the History Channel. This show has some of the best info around. I Tivo almost every show.

About two weeks ago they has a show called Da Vinci Tech. Man was this guy way ahead of his time. It is I think to say that Da Vinci is about the biggest genius ever. I knew some about his work, but this stuff was amazing.

I went to the library the next day to read up on his inventions, he was a clever guy, with some really cool military weapons, paintings, sculpture and drawings.

If you get a chance to watch the show, you should. I am in the middle of watching the building of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirate's Life For Me....


Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest comes out next Friday. Man I am so ready to see this. I guess almost every little kid pretends he is a pirate at sometime. I have gone on the ride at Disney World a couple hundred times in my life. Now that I have kids, I take them when I visit the Magic Kindom.

My daughter loves it and sings the pirate song, it is sooo cute. I must ride it 5 or more times in 3 days. I must say this is the way to make a movie based on anything, a ride or comic book. I am thrilled it did not turn out to be the Haunted Mansion, nice try Eddie Murphy.

Pirates are just the coolest thing, due to the fact they were REAL. Just wondering if anyone has a favorite pirate, and no One Eyed Willie does not count, for those who know.

Look Up In The Sky!


I went to see Superman Returns last night. I was very hopeful that this would be a good film. I was please with the overall look and feel of the film. There was not enough action, please this is SUPERMAN, give him something to do. I hope now that this film is in the can, that the next one will be a triumph.

The trailer for Spider-Man 3 was shown, NOW that looks AWESOME. I cannot wait until May.

I am now looking forward to the next Pirates movie next Friday, might have to see that one more than once.

Only One Arm Left


Well it has almost been a week since my shoulder surgery. I am doing fairly well. Major accomplishment for today, I washed my hair with both hands. Listen it is a small step, and I will be happy to get any of them. I felt like crap for the first couple days. I am actually feeling pretty good.

I have rehab this afternoon, I just do not want to cry. It hurts!!!!

If you can avoid messing yourself up, and having to have surgery, it is a smart move.

6-8 months out of the pool, AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Then End of Shows

It seems that I will be picking a whole new slew of tv shows for next season. Since the shows I have been watching for years, and my new season pickup are gone.

It was time to say good-bye to Alias, Charmed, Conviction, E-Ring, Four Kings, Heist, Invasion, Killer Instinct, Love Monkey, Surface, Threshold, Wanted, and The West Wing. Then the Sopranos seems to be going as well as one more season of Deadwood the best c@#ksucker show on t.v.

I hope the new shows for next season have some potential. Of course they pile up at least one day of my watching schedule.
Thursday Night at 9 is jampacked next season, I hope they move some stuff around, since the upfronts have 3 returning shows and the new Aaron Sorkin show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Here are my t.v. junkie new picks to go along with my old faves.

ABC - The 9 and 6 Degrees
CBS - Smith and Shark
FOX - Vanished, Standoff and Justice
NBC - Heroes and Kidnapped

Who knows if I will watch these are not but they look ok, and some have actors I like.

It seems to be hit and miss these days, and I cannot stand Reality TV, it sucks, well except Hogan Knows Best.
Hulk Hogan Rules the Fu-Manchu!!

Nationals Day 3 & 4

Well I was sooo exhausted after Day 3 & 4, I did not post. To sum up Nationals, I was a second
slower in all my events, I thought I would go faster. I cannot complain. Over all it went well.

Our team placed 3rd overall, Men 2nd and Women 3rd. Way to go FLA.

Well now I have surgery scheduled in one week and I will be out of the water for a while.

I think I am going to help out with helping with working on my teammates technique.

I think I might start with the Big Texan Da Hoop.

Way to Go FLA!!!!

Check out our team photos.

Nationals Day 2

Well the second day is over, and man I am tired. I swam OK, wanted to swim faster, but hey it did not happen.

The relay I was in is now a National Champion Relay, the other relay I participted in got 4th, and I swam into 9th place in the 50 fly. Time to ice my shoulders eat a lot of Aleve or Advil and rest.

Day 3 to come!!!!

Masters Nationals Day 1

Well the first day of Nationals is over and my two buds won their respective races, Good job H2 and Da Hoop. I got second in my race the 1000 free, man did it hurt, I am such a sprinter. Our team is 1 point off the lead after the first day, time to rest and here comes day two.

I am swimming the 50 Fly, one of the events I am looking forward to, I love to sprint!!!! I also have two relays, which should be fun.

More updates tommorrow.


GO FLA!

Just bloggin away

Well another crazy week here in sunny South FLA. I have been beyond busy with work and clients, no time to rest. My wife is sick, my son is getting over tonsilitis and then a sinus infection. Then my daughter takes a toy truck to the face, and has to get 2 stiches over her lip. Not the week I really wanted to have.

One more week till Nationals, still swimming the 1000 Free, all my friends are wondering if I am going to finish, as I am a drop dead sprinter. Hopefully I will surprise them, and myself. I love and hate tapers all at the same time. I feel great when I go fast, everything else just sucks.

Well hopefully next week will be stress free and fast swimming.
IT WOULD BE NICE!!!!!


GOOD LUCK TO THE FLATEAM!!!!!!

Head or A#@

Easter is here and the age old question arises. Do you eat your chocolate bunny by
the head or ass first?

I polled my friends, some do not eat chocolate, so they were no help. But hey, who can resist a peep?

It was mixed some head, and some ass, or tail first if you wish.

I like Easter candy, even though I cannot eat it till Passover is finshed, but who does not like chocolate Matzoh?

Just wondering which way does everyone else eat their bunnies.

Done and Done

Well my first foray into the relms of triathlon went somewhat well. I finished 5th in my class.
I wish my time was a bit faster, but hey it was my first time and I finished. A big thanks goes out to my friend and helpful triathlon coach MLB.

Now it is only 4 weeks until Masters Swimming Nationals, and it is time to get ready. I am also
going to swim the 1000 Free which I have never raced before in my life. I swam a 500 which is half the distance, about
oh 14 years ago, and it was not that much fun then. GO FLA!!!!!!!

I am sore, tired, and hoping to go fast. Lets see how it goes!

Getting Nagged On


Well is seems I have been remiss about posting lately. Da Hoop reminded me that I have not posted.
I have been busy training for my triathlon, which is Sunday, and Masters Swimming Nationals - coming up next month.
I guess blogging went to the background.

My son turned 1 this weekend, man does time fly. My daughter comes up with the craziest things, she had been getting up frequently during the night, leaving me exhausted. She tells my wife that her room is not as FUN as her brothers, SOOOO, we turned her room into a Princess room thanks to the Disney store and $110 out of my pocket. I think that is well worth it for a good nights sleep.

Now I have my swimming dilemma, to swim the 1000 free, hello I am a SPRINTER, or not swim a 6th event. What is a swimmer to do. Oh well, it can't be that bad, or can it?

Well I am done blogging for the day, will post on Sunday with results from my 1st ever triathlon.

Not a Good Start....

Well I got up at 4:15 this morning to do a 15 mile ride on my bike. It was between cold and not too cold, so I wore my jacket, and started to sweat about 5 minutes into it. There was a strong wind, and I just did not feel too fast.

But the worst of it all came about 1 mile from my house when some jackass decided to make me his hood ornament. Let me tell you this is one of the most frightning experiences as a cyclist. Especially since it is still dark out. I have a high flashing beam on the front of my bike and I was only 50 yards from him. The SOB was in a coma or something.

I hope the day gets better, swim practice here I come.
