Skim This

You guys need to at least skim over, and hopefully read thoroughly this link:

Idle Time = Sexy Time

I have too much time on my hands...for real.

And this is what happens:



The Mohawk abides...but for how long? An August 16th wedding that I am standing up in, or else this could be my permanent look. What careers face a dude with a college degree, a tattoo and a mohawk? Tattoo artist, writer, male model, TK's employee, and I'm thinking like Leo DiCaprio in Basketball Diaries....Maybe I should shave it off, cause only one dude I know would re-enact that Basketball Diaries scene for money, and his name rhymes with John Ferrino.

Minor League Baseball Madness

...Dunn Tire Park

Friday night, K.O and I went to see the Bisons Fridaynight Bash. Some fireworks, some baseball, and amazing weather...However (read that how Stephen A. Smith would say it) the Bisons are really not so good this year, which is strange. I am spoiled. The Bisons are always good, but the Bisons game Friday night was the worst baseball game I have ever witnessed. That said, it's never a bad time at the ballpark, so it was all G.


...Comstock Senior Softball Rules!

Monday night brought about yet another "Buck Night" at the Erie Seawolves game. Dad, Joyce, K.O and I shot down to Erie with enough time to go to the mall in Erie for a lil' bit...and Tinny's life would never be the same after the mall.

...my Dad is why I am black.

They have a BEASTLY pet store at the mall in Erie. They easily sell fifty dogs, mostly, if not all, puppies. WELLLL, Monday they just so happened to have a 9 week old Bulldog puppy. The clerk at the store brought the bully out and Tinny got to pet him and look him in the mug and love him up. You had to be 25 years old to hold him (I'm guessing because of the insane $3,900 price tag on him) and I don't think the fella thought K.O was 25, because he said she couldn't hold him. He was PERFECT. I still don't know how we didn't come home with him!!!!

OH YEAH, Dollar beers still! Dollar hot dogs and three dollar tickets didn't hurt either. We had a sweet spot, a picnic table down the first base line, and I went to town. I definitely hit double-digits on the brew, but it was over a 4 hour period, and seriosuly, $1 Yuengling drafts...what do you want from me!?!?

...I save my drinking for Mondays.

Highlight of the night was our absurd coincidental meeting up with Jackson, one of the kids from last time we went to Erie. He was just walking by with his Mom and Tinny spotted him so we went and talked to he and his mama for half an inning or so. That kid rules, but I think he is more on the track of being a professional wrestler in life than he is a Senator. He's a mad man.

...Jackson, soon to be in a prison or wrestling ring near you.

Erie lost, because like the Bisons, they are terrible this season. It was yet another classic Monday night in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Euro 2008 TV Ratings in America

The Euro 2008 Final between Spain and Germany drew 3.8 million viewers in the United States.

MLS is whatever, a notch below the NHL ratings wise, but people aren't understanding that the television ratings for the English Premier League and International Tournaments in the United States are dwarfing the NHL ratings. Games like Aston Villa vs. Manchester City on Fox Soccer Channel are matching ratings of Penguins vs. Flyers games on NBC.

Nobody said the soccer revolution in this country would be MLS-based, but it's happening. Americans are tuning into to world-class soccer...And then there is this:

LAREDO, Texas (July 11, 2008) – The U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team defeated rival Mexico in front of a raucous pro-Mexico crowd in the Laredo, Texas. Defender Sheanon Williams scored the game-winning goal in the 25th minute and forward Peri Marosevic added a brace in the first half in front of a sold-out crowd of 4,000.

The American Youth squads are taking down World Class competition...They beat Mexico's U-20's without Freddy Adu. Last year they made it to the quarters of the U-20 World Cup, dismantling Brazil on the way.

Taste this goal by Freddy:

Euro Soccer Rumors Are The Best!!!

The reports today were too good just to update on the soccer site. Christiano Ronaldo, the best soccer player on the planet (and apparently the most gorgeous player in the world), is the source of this incredible, soap-opera like chase. He plays for Manchester United, and is being pursued by Real Madrid...The two richest and most popular clubs on the planet.

Ronaldo's sister has come out and said he is staying, other family members have said otherwise. Through all of it there are stories of Ronaldo having sex parties with teammates and hookers in his ridiculous castle-like mansion outside of Manchester, England (there are even pictures).

Today, Wimbledon Champion Rafa Nadal is in the middle of Christiano's rumors. Nadal, a huge Real Madrid supporter, on his victory tour back home in Spain spoke with Real's president and has been assured that Ronaldo will be at Real when the season begins in August.

It's just ridiculousness, it all means nothing yet it's the most fascinating stuff in the world to read every day.
