Tires

Here are my new, state of the art, nitrogen filled tires.  It’s extremely exciting.

After the huge, long entry yesterday, my brain feels a bit empty today.  I have to admit that I feel much better knowing that Paris Hilton has found God after a couple days in prison.  What a joke.

I have been trying to download a bunch of stuff for me to watch while Ali is away.  I grabbed Tekken the Movie, a film based on the video game! At the same time I have added Rocky Balboa, Flags of our Fathers and Eragon to my collection.  I also am in the process of getting the Godfather Trilogy.  In keeping with my current crime movie kick, I want to find Scarface as well. Who knows, I may watch 300 again, now that I have the DVD version!  I gave Randall 300 on Saturday and he watched it that night and loved it. Everyone loves 300.

Man the gym was rough yesterday.  I skipped the 300 workout and instead tried to do chest and back.  Chest was brutal.  There were only a couple angles I could do chest exercises without it hurting my left shoulder like crazy.  All my attention over the past decade has been on my shitty knees.  I think my shoulders are a real mess as well.  It would be a scary thing to get them checked out too.

Nicki is now officially dog door trained.  She will go back and forth through it without prompting by us although she still prefers to go through an open slider if it is available.  We still praise her big time each time she uses “her” door.

Wow there was a huge backlash about the final Sopranos episode.  Our friends loaned us their season 2 DVD set of the Sopranos which we watched a couple years ago, other than that I haven’t seen it since we don’t get HBO.  It is definitely a show I would be hooked into big time.  I heard all about the final episode and I can understand the anger with the way it ended.  As a viewer I wouldn’t want the ending of an 8 year run of shows to be left up to my imagination.  I heard people were so pissed they were cancelling their HBO.  That’s a little extreme, after all it is just a show. Although if they ended Heroes in a similar way I am sure I would be ranting for quite awhile.

A columnist in the local paper wrote this editorial in the Sunday paper.  He was talking about a story that appeared a few days earlier.  The story was about the daughter of two illegal aliens.  She was brought across when she was very young and has basically grown up in the US.    The story was about how this girl felt shafted because since she is technically an illegal alien, she is not able to get Florida resident tuition rates for college.  The story is her basically whining.  In the story, the girl’s Dad says he is so mad about it that he is contemplating moving the family back to Mexico! HAHAHAAHAHAHA. If only he was serious.

The columnist takes the story to task, pointing out how illegal aliens already get totally free K thru 12 education (that we foot the bill for) and how it is ludicrous to think that they deserve for US citizens to extend their generosity a step further and help fund their college educations. I agree with what the guy says, 100%. 

The scholarly “Randy Romero” made a comment on my baby bird interaction, however he somehow managed to attach it to the wrong entry.  Here is what this genius said, so nobody misses it.

“Again with the warped animal rescue adventures…Christ, birds are modern dinasours. If they could eat you they would….and feel nothing. jesus…”
