Random Thoughts

I want to start by thanking everyone for their birthday wishes.  This guy is 24 going on 60 (does that mean I can retire and get a senior citizen discount?)  I will be doing something this weekend to celebrate so I hope you all can make it.

I am not an overly big fan of the whole birthday thing.  I appreciate the bday wishes, I always like an excuse to drink, but am I supposed to feel different on May 10th as I do on May 11th?  What this does do is make me even more jealous of Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony and the other 24 year olds who are doing a lot more than me.

I am a little disappointed with where I am at 24, in 3rd or 4th grade I figured by this point I would be playing quarterback for the Cowboys and be rich.  By 7th/8th grade I realized I wouldn't be a pro in anything so figured I would be a coach or a commentator by now.  Then once I got into high school I figured I would hit the lotto and be retired already.  Now that has all failed, I need a reset button and try again cause I could really go for any of those things.

Moving past me getting one step closer to the end (wow that is a negative spin on things, lets try it this way: Now that I am one year wiser).  Anyone who listens to Howard Stern would have heard that this past weekend Gary Dell Abate, also known as Baba Booey threw out the opening pitch at the Mets game.  From the day Gary found out he was going to be throwing out the first pitch he has been nervous as hell.  He hired a trainer to help him and a psychologist to calm him down.  Well Saturday came and he failed miserable, in fact here is the post from one newspaper:

Gary Dell Abate First Pitch, Baba Booey First Pitch -- Long-time Howard Stern producer, Gary Dell'Abate aka Baba Booey, threw out the first pitch at Mets game last night and failed miserably. He said this morning that despite the poor performance, at least the pitch stayed in the television frame. He was there to promote autism awareness, as was Kim Kardashian who did much better...in heels.

The entire morning was spent ripping Gary apart for his pathetic throw.  Artie Lang, long time die hard Yankee fan who was in attendance may have had the best line: "At least Gary wasn't the only fag to pitch for the Mets on Saturday."

-Good News to all the men out there: Rhianna naked pictures!  HIYOOOOO

These pictures were supposedly leaked by BEST BOYFRIEND OF THE YEAR: Chris Brown.  I am very happy about this leak, but how dumb is this girl.  The guy beats the crap out of her (which i a understatement) and now is showing nude pics of her and she stays with him.  This girl is dumb, and no one can stand up for her on this one.  Love can make you do funny things but that usually ends when you cant open either eyes and your face is swollen like Ricky Hatten after being knocked the fuck out.

Next on the list: VP Joe Biden, Syracuse Alum spoke at the Syracuse Graduation this weekend.  First my deep sorrow and sympathy for all my friends who graduated this weekend.  Welcome to the working world, its a shitty ride.  Anyway from the looks of pictures and from what I have heard Syracuse was covered with secret service and  from what I heard he was incredible.  We know the country is in good hands when we have a Syracuse grad as second in command.  More importantly it gives a guy like me a chance....KWINTER 2020- CAUSE WHY NOT!

Quick Sports updates: 

-Zack Grienke is fucking amazing.  This guy has 4 complete games already and an ERA of under 1.  I know it is early but if he does even half of what he is doing now the CY Young is his and the Royals will be hanging around the entire season.  I think someone called that.

-How great is Kobe vs Melo going to be.  Sorry Rockets, you had a nice win the other night, but you just pissed of Kobe, next game is a blowout.  Sorry Mavericks, but your owner trashed Martin's mom and that will not help their chances in this serious.

-Crosby vs Ovechkin has been a great series that will be going to 7 games.  This has helped bring the fans back to hockey and that includes this guy.

-A-Rod welcome back to the big leagues you steroid using Pre-Madonna (I am a Yankee fan by the way).  First pitch back and he sends it a LONG way.  Maybe his "injury" was just him finding a steroid that is undetected.

Movie Quote:  "Get Busy Living, Or Get Busy Dying"

Question of the day: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Porcelain Gods

"Do not be afraid of vomiting if you must; it is not vomiting but holding the vomit in your throat that is foul."- Desiderius Erasmus

The Urban Dictionary defines praying to the porcelain Gods as:

To Vomit into a lavatory bowl while on your hands and knees as if one is in a position of prayer.

As you can start to assume from the opening lines of this blog that I entered the temple of Porcelain and made many visits to the altar.  This story starts on Saturday night, I was heading into the city to celebrate my friend Baum's bday.  Took a bus in and the night started as any typical city night.  We stopped at a liquor store and picked up a bottle of vodka and headed to one of Baum's friends apartments.  This apartment was insane, a little description of the place:  46th floor, 3 bedrooms, 2 balconies with views of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building and just an overall huge apartment.  Pretty fucking sweet, I digress.  So this bottle of vodka is starting to be mixed with some redbull and finding its way down my throat.  After about an hour or more of this it is time to head over to the bar.

The bar we are going to is the Wet Bar in the W Hotel on 39th.  I recommend the place, do not remember too much of it but the waitresses were hot.  We sit down at the table that we were given and very quickly bottles are on the table.  After many drinks and small talk I am drunk, there is no debating this at this point.  If I saw you that night, I very possibly do not remember talking to you.  I have no idea what time we are looking at but at one point in the night I start to see the room spin and no that it is only a matter of time till I will be heading to the bathroom.  I decide not to wait and head there immediatley, where I figure best way to feel better is pulling the trigger.  Man was I wrong 3 visits to the bathroom later I am standing back at the table where some friends still are.  That's when the bouncer comes up to me and says:

"Guy I think it's time for you to go home."

my response was: "Man you are 100% right, I am just waiting for my boy to pay the bill and I am getting the fuck out of here."

That was the last thing I remember until about 6:00 in the morning when I awake in my friends bathroom.

The next day I am riding on the bus and Baum calls me and has no idea how we managed to get home and how he got in his bed.  You can only imagine how I felt waking up in his bathroom with no idea how I got there.

Now to the normal person you might think, well I had a bad night or an unusual night.  However, if you know me you know that many a night ends up with me on the bathroom floor, or even in the bath tub.  All I am saying is there is nothing better than cold tile floor when you are puking. 

All in all I had a great time Saturday night celebrating my friend's bday.  Hope everyone that was there did as well.  All thats left of this weekend is to look forward to the next weekend, and of course the potential of saying a little prayer to the Porcelain Gods.

Yesterdays Movie Quote was Rudy.  If you have not seen Rudy something is fucking wrong with you!  It is one of the few movies a guy will admit to tear up during.  If you haven't seen it grow up and go see it.

-Boy, I wish I could get that excited about nothing.
-Nothing? Are you kidding? Page 73 - Johnson, Navin R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now."

Question of the day:  What was your most intoxicated night?

I can't give an answer right now as I can not think of one night at the time.  But let me hear about yours.
