Where to begin...Hostess fruit pies...flat screen tv's...NFL draft...TIVO...job...writing...tree toed sloths...casino jumping...weight loss...subways...Arsenal...red drinks...red rocks...gambling...long lost friends...Sopranos...
Ok...I am not sure how long this will be...but I will start at the most important....
NFL Draft - Cowboys made a great second round pick, and got Cleveland's first round pick next year. Brilliant. Speaking of brilliant...Cleveland had the most ballsy draft in years...and I think the next 10 years of the franchise will depend on the success of this draft.
Arsenal...another 4th place finish in the Premiership, which as we all know once again qualifies for the Champions League. So all is not lost, but they need to improve next year.
Sopranos...I hate the Sopranos...it is like watching Marilyn Monroe strip...now...way after her prime...and dead. The show is trying, but it has lost its way so badly that I am not sure if it can ever come back. The mob artsy? As ridiculous as that sounds...that is what we are trapped in and even with 3 episodes left it still can't let go of the artsy fartsy bullshit. Frustrating. It is like Mike Hammer do ballet...Sam Spade baking pies..Phillip Marlowe wearing high heels and lipstick...it just isn't right...it is too far from character...from real life...to make the story truly compelling. You can put a silk dress on a pig...but it is still a pig...the mob is the mob no matter how much David Chase doesn't want it to be. We all search for understanding...but Chase is seriously reaching...and it shows.
TIVO...greatest invention ever.
If anyone reading this cares...I heard from Latte and hopefully we are going to meet up soon. Maybe even this weekend...which is very cool.
To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life. - T. S. Eliot
