My emotional well being

February 12th, 2007

I’ll tell you what I don’t need: Endless psychoanalysis of the enigma that is Alex Rodriguez for the next nine months. Sadly, it might be inevitable. New York is a baseball town and with pitchers and catchers headed to Florida this week, baseball talk seems to be on the menu. Not much else going on. A-Rod is coming off his worst season as a pro. In his last game, a playoff loss to the Tigers, he batted 8th. The whole world wants to know how this is going to go.

I just got done with football season, otherwise known as worrying about how mentally fragile Eli Manning is and now its time for baseball season, otherwise known as worrying about how mentally fragile A-Rod is and what Derek Jeter should do about it. I can’t take it.

There was a moment during the Super Bowl when I thought to myself: “Eli is better than Rex Grossman and that makes me happy.”

That inner peace was shattered two says later when A-Rod held a press conference in Manhattan to announce the release of his new Children’s book. Apparently the whole thing was a major fiasco, with a reporter nearly being arrested. You know what the book is about: A young baseball player who puts too much pressure on himself and makes a big error. God, please help me.

February 10th, 2007

that’s my list of the stories. here are the back stories. first, yes. i’m up.

astro-nut. can’t get into it. love the diaper angle, but otherwise, just some jerry springer shit. nothing more.

I went to the “Yale Club” tonight. it’s right by Grand Central terminal. they have portraits of all the presidents that went to Yale. Bush I, II, Clinton, Taft and Ford. I love Taft, what a fatty.

anna? you want my take? simple: she killed herself with painkillers. very simple. talked to a guy at the Yale Club about it. i told him the “astro-nut” was happy about the situation. “got her outta the paper,” i said. he laughed. he was southern. then asked him what the 3rd amendment was. goddamn if those British soliders will live with me.

spring training is so close. done. jd drew, sucks. done.

And now its the Super Bowl . . .

February 2nd, 2007

Chad Johnson interviewed in connection with shooting deat of Miami man

You had to know this was coming. It’s Super Bowl week and it wouldn’t be Super Bowl week without an NFL player killing someone, having a mental breakdown, being arrested or going on a coke binge.

Now I’m up for the game.

Mayor may I

February 1st, 2007

Democrats love adultery, hate Commandments

oooh snap! The handsome mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom apparently admitted yesterday after the East Coast left the office that he banged a top aide’s wife. The wife apparently admitted the affair during a substance abuse therapy session (she loves xanax, martinis ) and the aide then confronted Newsom. Willie Brown, pictured above, the former mayor, chimes in and brings some sense to the situation.

Miss USA: It wasn’t New York City’s fault

February 1st, 2007

Miss USA dabbled in Cocaine, talking to men

Miss USA, who was famously pardoned by Donald Trump for snorting cocaine, talking to men and sucking New York City’s cock while Miss USA and then promptly checked into rehab, checks in after a 31 day stint in a facility where she was able to take stock of her life and realize, “it wasn’t New York City’s fault.”

Dirty Hippies bring Boston to its knees

February 1st, 2007

Criminal master minds shut down Boston

These dirty hippies, pictured above, shut down Boston yesterday with a publicity stunt designed to bring attention to some new cartoon show. Jesus Christ. Apparently the light-up cartoon men that the Boston cops thought were the harbinger of the apocalypse were in nine other cities, and for weeks. Jesus. Now the mayor up there is embarrassed - the city spent $500,000 responding to what it thought was a terrorist attack - and is trying to bring criminal charges against these guys.

Run, Joe, Run

February 1st, 2007

So yesterday I read the story in the NY Observer where Biden said Obama was “articulate and clean.” It struck me as odd and condescending and probably racist. And now the story has sort of blown up. At least people know he’s running.

the story is linked below, a few posts down.
