Halloween Musings

So, have a few quick Halloween observations. Hands down the best costume of the year goes to someone here at work who is a "Ho Buster" Dressed up just like a Ghostbuster and busting all the girls dressed up like sluts for Halloween, which no doubt will be half the office. Lets talk about a few of the costumes that we should put to bed thou:

1- A white T Shirt does not make you a ghost. Yes, I know you have pale skin.. still not buying it.
2- Army Guy - Yes, I know you already had a buzz cut and looks the part prior. Hell you may have the outfit from being in the army. But seriously.. thats also just lazy. Lets back that ass up for a second. Anything you used to be or do does not work as a costume, unless of course you were a porn star. Them we are ok with it.
3- A Dead person - I'm not talking zombies and shit, thats ok. Unless you are a zombie army man.. then its a punch in the dick. I'm talking people who have passed away. No more Marlyn Monroe, no Jim Morrison (for many reasons), and definitely no Elvis.
4- Witches - Seriously? Why not just be a pumpkin you uncreative ass bag

Im sure Ill have more once I witness our costume contest at 2pm. Happy Halloween everyone :)

Um.. seriously?

Every once in a while you stumble across and article that really burns your ass. Sometimes it's politics or something meaningful and important in the world, and sometimes its this type of drivel.

First off, it STILL baffles me how this leg spreader is a celebrity. Her parents run a world wide chain of shitty hotels that no doubt have fewer visitors thanks to their first class citizen of a child. The fact that she is even in the news for partying tells you her weight in todays society. So then there is this article.... she is going to Rwanda? Ok, seriously? Fucking seriously? This seamen dumpster is trying to make a "mark on the world"? What mark will she make other than the few stained bedsheets she's left in her path? Maybe that dazzling perfume she hawks? Or maybe its her music career that gave us the feel good song for summer 2006 "Stars are Blind".? And my favorite line, which I can just see her on the news talking about, inbetween the gum smacking, lip pouting, hair twirling act "I'm scared, yeah. I've heard it's really dangerous,". Oh did ya sweetheart? Is that what you've heard? Did you learn that on the diamond encrusted sidekick? I'll tell you what I want. I want you to go to Rwanda, and have that epiphany you are hoping for. Make you're mark on Rwanda. Open a bed and breakfast, stick a plate in your lip, do whatever it is you want and stay the hell over there so I don't have to read about your bony, gangly ass anymore, you hack. GO AWAY!

Way to get one boys!

On Monday, after getting a couple of teeth knocked out by an errant puck, Jagr netted the winner in the Rangers' 3-1 victory over the Lightning at Madison Square Garden. He didn't even miss a shift. Bloody lip and all. My new hero Nigel Dawes also scored yet another goal and everyone played solid!

Afterward, the toothless wonder joked: "Halloween is coming up, so I won't need a mask."

Now if I can just get into my job today like Im getting into hockey.. it will be a win for everyone ;)

Talk about someone without a filter....

Why Brendan Shanahan is the man..

Ive said it before, and Ill say it again... this guy might be 38, but he is a hell of a hockey player and a great leader!

"There's no quit in this room. Our determination to turn this around is not wavering at all. This is a good group.

"So I'd say to our fans, 'Have faith in us. Stick with us. We're going to battle our way through this, and we're going to make you proud of us.' "

Weekend Notables

One thing I love about the fall is how perfect the weather is. Nothing was better than watching sports mostly all day Saturday with the windows wide open, cold beer in the fridge (with Beck's surprisingly becoming the new Noe-household standard) and the house to myself. The Dawgs looked like a team ready to pounce right from the opening kick off and I only wish some of that fire in their belly rubbed off on the Rangers who tanked it later in the night. Better start scoring boys... better start scoring. Sunday was spent out on the yard, getting the backyard all set and polishing off the remainder of said cold beer. All in all, not a bad way to spend the weekend. Probably could have played less Xbox and worked more on music, but I digress.

And now for something that really kicks!

Happy Friday.. some links if you're bored

Gizmodo - If only Jimi Hendrix was alive today. Actually, this could have killed Morrison even more "ahead of his time"

Last Nights Garbage - Proof that no matter how much free time you think you waste, there is always someone who has more

Wait for it.......

In a wonder change over evens, the Rangers scored a goal, ending their 126-minute goal drought... and by an unlikely hero non-the-less. Nigel Dawes scored not one but TWO goals in last nights game, edging out the Devils and hopefully sparking a great start to their 7 game home stand. Nigel had five shots on goal and six hits as well. If the big guns can't score, maybe this will be the rookies year. On to Friday against the Maple Leafs. Could have really done without the other BS following the game, but with every high, there must be a low right?

WARNING.. WARNING.. Do not fight a guy that A- Is a whole foot taller than you.. and B- After you just got your nose reset from it breaking a few nights earlier

Tomorrow is the famed Georgia Bulldogs vs Florida Gators match-up. No doubt there will be some jean shorts walking around at the worlds largest cocktail party. Hope Tebow breaks his leg in three spots when someone from GA tackles his ass. Someone here is actually wearing a Gators Polo tucked into Seersuckers.. F'in Seersuckers. WOWSERS. I can tell you someone who is not getting laid this weekend.

I leave you all.. for now... with this

Blue Ice

Blue "Mutha fookin" Ice. I told you if one of these phones came across my desk again I was going to shoot myself, or quit, or both. Sure enough.. ********* is proud to bring you the Blue Ice ****** for this holiday season. Why god, why do you hate me? What did I do?

Going thru the motions

Ever feel like you are just biding time between 9 and 6? I certainly have the last few days. Maybe its the post vacation lulls, or maybe its something bigger. I'm not really sure. There is so much more I would rather be doing outside of my day job at the moment I'm just kind of bored sitting here. I don't think the work is terribly exciting right now and its not really motivating me to break out at all. I know we do online advertising for a huge fortune 500 company and I'm not here making "art", and I'm usually fine with that. Something is just getting me way down about it all. I work with some fucking clowns, thats probably some of it. I swear we just hire bodies to do the work and don't care that there IQ is no higher than that, say, of a gnat. Also some tudes up in this piece. We aren't saving the fucking rain forest assholes, its just cell phones. Maybe I just need a Zanex, a case of beer and some Xbox to chill out too. (Monster.com on the old computer couldn't hurt either)

The Big Day

We are just starting to go thru the photos from the wedding. Here are just a few for you to see the most beautiful bride in the world. Man, I lucked out. More to come :)

Thanks for letting me down guys!

Sure enough, the first Ranger game I watch or attend, they lose to a winless Thrashers. Great Third period action, but by then, it was too late. Oh, well, at least there are 75 games left to redeem ourselves.

And the Season begins

Hockey season that is. I was away on my Honeymoon when the official kick off happened, but seeing as I have not be able to watch my team, the New York Rangers in action yet, tonight it Unofficially, officially kicks off for me. I enjoy the hell out of hockey. I played for 11 years back in NY and seriously am considering trying to get my fat, lazy, out of shape ass out there again. By thats a topic for another day.

Watching hockey in Atlanta is always interesting. We have a lot of new fans here, which is ok with me as anytime the hockey audience grows, I'm on board with it. However, I would be lying if I didn't say it's absolutely hilarious to hear they way some of them talk about hockey. Me and 2 other friends have partial season tickets for the Thrashers and hearing people around us refer to hockey players by their first name; "Go Greg!", or explaining to each other "Icing", or my favorite "Shoot the puck!". Yeah, thanks for that pearl of wisdom Bo...go back to playing your Xbox.. and poorly at that.

Now, if the Rangers can just get their top lines to gel, we might be in for a great season ahead of us. And with no less than 3 attempts to have Comcast hook up the Center Ice package, Ill be able to watch all the games. Now thats "Icing" on the cake.

Let the ramblings begin

And we're off! So I enter the blog-o-sphere, becoming a blogger for the second time. What possessed me again? Im not really sure. Could be the fact that I just finished Kevin Smith's Book "My Boring Ass Life" in which he still updates daily on his website. Could be that my friend Geoff has one and is quite funny to read. Could be that I just want to add to the clutter out there. Could be that I want a place to ramble. Could be that I have something important to say. Could b e I have nothing important to say. The latter is probably true. Not sure how long Ill last, but this should prove interesting non-the-less. So here we go!
