Does Work

What really needs to be said? Don Gorske of Wisconsin might as well be clocking in at McDonald's. He's gone through  23,000 Big Macs in his life and has only missed a Big Mac 8 days. I don't think I'm even in the double digits. I know what you're thinking but apparently, dude is not even obese, 6'2" 185 (haha he's like a more muscular version of you Doo Doo). Put it another way, Mr. Gorske has probably spent over $25k on Big Macs alone...

But on to bigger and better things. Check it out, Kurt Warner aka The Truth aka White Jesus. Don't let the goofy Robocop/Terminator look with the oven mitts fool you, that's just to mess with other teams. Please believe dude's passing game is super buttery, just ask his fantasy football owners and Anquan Boldin (speaking of whom, Bidwell family, please give dude his money, he's gorilla pimpin' on the field). 

Don't sleep on the Cardinals, 2-0 isn't much but it's a start. What up Mike, what up Easton, we been tryin' to tell folks.

Let's get it Sun Devils. The line for the game is only -7 GA for the betting folks out there. I would've thought they'd be spotting more so that's not a bad outlook at all for A State. #2 in the Pac-10 is ripe for the picking right now.

And Happy Belated to Brett "The Big Hurt" Lynch, hit the big veintiuno last night, sorry I didn't make it out big fella.

Kids Say The Darndest Things

Kid looks like a young Doc Dre. Been pimpin' since his daddy was pimpin'.

And now for the story. My buddy helped out at the coffee shop over the Summer and one day some kids came in for some smoothies.

One of the kids gets his smoothie and tosses about a dollar into the tips cup.
Kid #2: Why’d you do that?
Kid #1: Oh, I gave him a tip.
#2: What’s a tip?
#1: It’s something you give poor people.

Wow. I'm not sure if it's funny or sad.

Olympic Gold

14 Olympics Golds and 8 in the past Beijing Olympics. The Dolphin Boy is Mr. International nowadays... $1 mil from Speedo for 7 Golds? Not a shabby paycheck.

Add an Entourage cameo and SNL host gig (musical guest Lil Wayne) September 13 for good measure. SNL hasn't been funny since '97, might have watch that one though.
Entourage, September 7. Get yourself some HBO. I'll be at Jaeho's.

My favorite Olympic interview moment, Michael Phelps + Brian Williams.
BW: That last song [before the start of his races] this trip, has it been the same? What has it been?
MP: Most of the time it was "I'm Me" by Lil Wayne and a few techno songs (same taste in music as Kellen and Paul) here and there.
BW: You did some Weezy this trip...
MP: Yeah, I had some Weezy on it.
BW: Who among us hasn't done some Weezy this past year.


B Will doesn't really hit his stride until about minute 12 or 13.

Some more Olympics hilarity. I don't know crazy but I know karate.

The Recession

Who isn't getting hit by these gas prices nowadays?

I realize he hasn't done anything lately, but it's worth a laugh.
"As you know, I do own my own jet." Classic


Just in case you've been in a coma the past 3 months or so.


The Recession album drops September 2, I've listened to a couple cuts, it seems promising but I haven't given it much burn.
"Bitch I'm amazin'
Look what I'm blazin'
Eyes so low, yeah I look like an Asian"

What Is The World Coming To?

So 9 year-old Jericho Scott was told that he can't play with his squad 'cause his heater is too fast. WHAT?!?! So he can't play in the league at all? I don't see anybody locking down the Scripps Spelling Bee 'cause some kid's word game is too nice.

And in other sports news, regardless of where you're comin' from on this, you got to give it up to Shawne Merriman for deciding to try to thug out this season on 2 torn ligaments in his left knee. Maybe not the greatest long-term career decision, but respect. Other cats aren't even walking on 1 torn ligament in the knee, dude is playin' ball with 2. BEAST

I'm leaving, on a jet plane...

I know this happened a while ago but my blog game has been (edit: BEYOND) mediocre at best as of late.

So I took a trip to the East Coast right after the books shut on finals since I knew the corporate grind would be murder on the rest of my Summer.

Peace out zona.

My first stop was a layover in Seattle. The view flying in reminded me that Seattle green is a shade of green that is MIA in Arizona. Beautiful, beautiful place. The airport is pretty dope too, there's a tunnel tram that shuttles you from terminal to terminal, thing has a talking voice that speaks more languages than I do. There's also a GIANT glass window where you can see planes taking off, kind of a serene backdrop. There's worse ways to burn some time.

The red-eye out of Seattle took off around 10:30PM and the first the thing the Captain said after introducing himself was, "Apparently turbulence will be a mixed bag tonight." Well, nice to meet you too Captain, thanks for the heads up. Really though, couldn't even ease some of these people into it? I'm pretty sure I heard the hard-of-flying readying their airsick bags.

And onto Boston and NY.

These little monsters are the people I visited in Boston and NY.

They crack me up. Good people even if they weren't blood.

Boston was a decent place, I'm not sure if all the hype is quite justified though. Hard-pressed to find more ostentatious and pretentious than some of the cats around Harvard Square. Kind of a dope college vibe, but some of the people throw uppity like it's their job. Like their knowledge of academia has them On Top of the World like The Carpenters.
It wasn't all bad though, my cousin took me to Mr. Bartley's Gourmet Burgers by Harvard Square. Apparently it's a staple for the Cambridge crowd and it stays on the different lists for top burger joints. For good reason too, the food isn't shabby and it's a neat little place to check out.

Mr. John Harvard at Harvard Square

1 day in Boston and then it was off to New York, NY. 3rd time in NY so it wasn't anything new but it was nice to be back there seeing family and checking out some sites.

Saw this on a car while we were out and about. Dude got creative on 'em

The NY leg of the trip was basically sight-seeing but we were heavy into eating and shopping though. Checked out G-Star RAW (attention to little details, FRESH), Supreme (was only there a hot minute, AC was broke), UNIQLO (decent quality threads on the cheap) and some others.

And then it was back to good ol' AZ to start up a little Corporate America Summer grrrrrind time!

Douche Bags 'R' Us

The other day, I was going to my marketing class and while I was heading to the water fountain, I saw something. To my amazement, I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt with "thank your girlfriend for me" on the front. I couldn't believe, just to make sure the ol' corneas hadn't tricked me, I had to rinse the disbelief out of my eyes. Sure enough, this was really happening, someone was actually rocking this shirt. Dude might as well have been rocking a "I like dudes" t.

Wow, that got me thinking, did the chicken come first or the egg? In this case, was this guy a douche bag that happened to wear a stupid shirt? Or was the stupid shirt the reason this guy was/is a douche bag? Hmm.... I know I come across real salty like the shirt happened to me but ask anybody that knows me, I will rock a free shirt 'til the threads come off (I have at least 10 free shirts from various causes and activities, I'd say at least 4 are in heavy rotation). But I cannot see a situation where I would be compelled to rock that shirt.


Out.
