Wow! Summer is finally in New England and what a hot one it is! It is actually the hottest 6-month period in world history. So much for that global warming stuff. At least we’ve all been enjoying beers on the beach (see right)
Been a while since I’ve even looked at this site. Still got the Dancing Mike up there going strong. What the hell has happened since I last wrote?
The BP oil well exploded – that’s a pretty big fucking deal huh? I’m not sure what people are doing down there along the Gulf Coast, but karma, Murphy’s Law, luck, Mother Nature and irony really seem to have it out for those poor bastards. I mean when you see all those fishing boats, closed restaurants and oil covered animals – if you don’t feel something in your heart for everyone and everything involved you may want to check your pulse and take a good long look in the mirror…except for BP of course. In predictable fashion it has become a political ordeal, although I don’t think that, despite endless effort, the tagline, “Obama’s Katrina” is going to stick. The sad thing is that no matter how much money BP throws at this thing, it will never be enough and now the CEO is retiring so that he won’t have to deal with the problem anymore. So much for that British resiliency…
The Boston Celitcs lost to the LA Lakers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. I won’t even begin to go into how blatantly obvious it was that the NBA wanted Kobe to get another ring. I am boycotting basketball until they figure out a 3rd party officiating system. The most lopsided foul shooting chances in Finals history! Come on. I’m surprised the Celtics were able to win a single game.
Lebron James and Chris Bosh signed with the Miami Heat creating what will likely be a championship contending team for the next decade if they can all play together. Big IF. If I were a betting man, I would say that Wade and Bosh jell nicely and James is stuck out on his own, demanding the ball and attention and getting it mostly in a negative way. I give Lebron two seasons on the Heat before he demands a trade. That is Dwayne Wade’s team, he’s not going to relinquish control of it to James and I think Lebron’s head and ego are too big to play second fiddle. If I were Wade and Bosh I would have kept Beasley and called it a day. I actually think this is bad for the NBA b/c too many marquee stars are now on one team. How many people are going to watch the Cavs and Raptors next year? Five.
I worked a $15 million dollar wedding job. Yes, fifteen million! I know, it’s ridiculous; a supreme waste of money for an event that lasted a single day. It took 22 days to build and 3 days to tear down and created enough waste to fill fifteen dumpsters. Not proud to be a part of it on that end, but what we assembled and the design of it all was pretty amazing. I would post pics, but I’m not allowed to.
Sarah Palin died. What a sad event for the leader and public face of the ignorati in America. Wait, wait, wait a minute. Bad news, you guessed it, she’s still with us.
Ben Roethlisberger assaulted yet another woman, this time in the back of a nightclub in some college town. The children of Pittsburgh have so much to look up to in their star quarterback. The worst part is that he keeps getting away with it – the club “misplaced” the footage, but in fact they just taped over it. I have a great idea – what about a Palin/Roethlisberger White House run? Bimbo Right Winger teamed with Bimbo Assaulter. Perfection!
I’m sure a lot more has happened, but I have to run so we’ll pick it up next time! Hopefully not 4 months from now;)
