Well folks, I'm outta here. Off to see the Phillies beat the Cubs in Wrigley Stadium. (Hopefully...) Enjoy this time away, I know that I will. Since there is a group of 30 guys also going to the Cubs/Phils series from this area under the pretense of a bachelor's party, I'm sure I will have no trouble finding something to write about when I return.
Can someone please water my television and computer while I'm gone?

Co-Co Bella!
Flamboyant fashion designer Donatella Versace has checked into a rehabilitation centre to be treated for addiction to cocaine. She loves the cocaine, the cocaine.

R&R
Well, I'm about to head out on a mini vacaton to Chicago with a couple friends. I haven't been on a vacation in about 2 years, so I am very eager to be away from the hustle and bustle of my work/tv watching schedule. But seriously, my batteries need recharging. I'm juicing up the IPod, packing my bags and flying out Thursday night. Since the trip is baseball focused, I hope the Phillies sweep the Cubs. I'll hopefully have many things to post about when I return.

Do any of these people look amish? Rent Devil's Playground to see what teenage Amish truly look like. I'm not saying I'm not gonna watch the Amish in the City show when it airs, I'm just saying these folks look fishy.

The State of Music
So it appears that right now, the 80's and 90's are trying to creep back on the airwares these days. Morrisey, Cure, Pixies are all pumping some new shit out. And I do mean shit. The Cure song blows, it's like goth-emo-light. Morrisey's song has a decent sound to it, but what the hell is he singing about? Is this crap even topical? And then there is the aforementioned Pixies song that songs like a b-52's rip off.
Here's what I suggest if you want to re-live the past in music. Check out Metric which sound very early 90's chick rock, Elastica or Republica-esque. Or how about Scissor Sister a total Elton John from his early days vibe? ITunes them up, biotch!

Found Objects
I've been hearing stories lately about people who are walking down the street and find things. How come this never happens to me? I never just stumble across something cool laying on the sidewalk or in the street. I did see a run over fork today that I guess I could have picked up and actually used (It's hard to ruin a fork, even when you run over it.) but that's not cool. Last week a friend of a friend "found" a 40 GB IPod on the sidewalk. 3 days ago, a chick I know found a 66 Yamaha 90 CC scooter in an alley way.$100 later, she now has a sweet ride. It's not fair.

A thought...
This came up at work today. I have never seen a porn with Jenna Jameson. Ever. It's amazing that she is pretty much the icon that represents the porn industry and I have never seen her naked. I guess I'm so busy downloading movies involving male strippers, glory holes, babysitters and midgets to bother with some blonde bitch giving it up.
The Return of Helmet
Helmet is set to return with the release of a new album, Size Matters, and nationwide tour starting this September. Founder Page Hamilton is the only original member remaining but he's brought out some pretty heavy hitters to round out the lineup: Chris Traynor (Orange 9mm), Frank Bello (Anthrax), John Tempesta (White Zombie). This could be good, or this could be just plain unnecessary.
Love, Love Me Do
Does anyone give a shit about Courtney Love? I was thinking about this as I drifted past yet another so called "news" story adorned with some horrible looking picture of her. I don't even read them anymore. She's so pathetic. And she killed Kurt. Not that I'm complaining, In Utero was weak people. Admit it. I'm giving her about 3 months before a suicide attempt.

Ex-BHG
Alright, so I got myself on the list (sort of) to see the Bloodhound Gang tonight. Against my better judgement, and even with a 7:30 AM call time to work tomorrow, I drove myself there and took in about 40 minutes of the show. All I can say is ugh. I don't know any songs, and the one's I kind of know....suck. To top if off, the crowd is absolutely in love with these "local heros."
Adding to the completely surreal experience that it is everytime I see them play, was that I was footsteps from the Carson Daly of the Philly region, Mr. Bam Margera. No Phil. No Ape. No Don Vito. I didn't even see Rake for fuck's sake. To my right we have Daddy Long Legs, who I guess is going by Puff Daddy now that Sean Combs dropped the name. Mike is still sporting the colorful hair and jersey look, but he looks like the rest of us; a little older, and a little fatter. Behind me we have the most manical BHG fan I have ever met. This guy wanted me to sign 2 vinyl covers, 20 fucking cd inserts, take a picture with him, it was insane. Who are you crazy BHG fan? I guess I'll find out since he persuaded me to give him my email address. Did I mention my next door neighbor from college was selling merchandise and now works full time for Jimmy Pop? What a circus.
To be blunt, I guess I just sound like any ex-band member...bitter. So sue me. I gave 5 long years of my life to the band and even though we probably sucked back then, I still think we were better than the shit they are putting out now. I'm happy I can go see them and shake some hands and see some old faces. But when it comes down to it, I have work tomorrow. Really early.

Sequels
There are two schools of thought on sequels. Some insist that a sequel be strong enough to stand on it's own. In other words, you shouldn't be required to know anything about the first one to watch the second one. (or third, or fourth, etc.) Others believe that the sanctity of the sequel is upheld by the continuation factor, i.e. the movies' flow into each other and carry over plot points and character history.
The Bourne Supremacy plays into the latter dicotomy and truly picks up where the first, Bourne Identity, leaves off. As a movie fan, I like the idea of making the sequel for "fans" only. If you didn't see the first one, I imagine you will be lost as hell and not sure what is going on the entire film. Good for me, not so good for this movie finding a larger audience than the first. Matt Damon is a decent action star. I buy him as Jason Bourne more than I do Ben Affleck as Daredevil. And although the action is less violent in this sequel, I'd still recommend it. I have a beef with the handling of Franke Potente's character and wasn't real keen on Joan Allen's by the numbers performance, but Bryan Cox always plays a really good asshole.

A.C.
I gave great consideration to the idea of heading to Atlantic City on my day off today, but in the end I pussed out. I don't really have money to blow and my plan of attack was shady at best. I figured I would cash advance like $300 from a credit card and let it ride. Try to turn that little bit into a mountain of money playing Black Jack. In the end, I got in the car, got the car washed and then wound up at my Stepfather's house. It's just as exciting as A.C. with all the noises and people coming in and out. Best of all it was free.
Celebrity Teen Slut of the Week
Okay, it’s slut of the week time and I’ll admit Hilary Duff wasn’t my first choice this time round, but I got a great photo (see below) today and was inspired. Let me preface this profile by saying that I can’t recall seeing anything on this little honey’s resume with the exception of Human Nature where in she was playing Patricia Arquette as a child. But should that stop me? Hell no.
Apparently Lizzie McGuire was some tween show on Disney or Nick Jr. or some shit and it made this chick really popular. Anyway, once she tired of the limitations of television, Hilary starred opposite Malcolm in the Middle’s Frankie Muniz as the love interest in Agent Cody Banks. Never saw it. I guess the popularity of this movie gave someone the bright idea to make a Lizzie McGuire movie and I’m assuming it went well since this bitch’s mug has been in my face ever since.
I also recall seeing her in the trailer for that Steve Martin movie about 12 kids, so I guess she was in that. And oh yeah, I think right now she’s like the 1 millionth chick playing Cinderella on film. So there you have it. That’s what I know about her film/TV career.
Now what I do know about Ms. Duff is that she looked awful cute in those silly music videos of hers. So Yesterday was catchy, but I was mainly looking at her sexy poses and not listening to the lyrics. Then she had some song about rain or something. Again, looking good Hil. I’m pretty sure she is now doing the reverse Simpson sister thing, cause I have seen another Duff with an H first name glued to her hip lately. I’m assuming this is some talent-less older sister leeching her way into the spotlight. However, I was wrong about the sibling leech factor with Ashlee, so I could be wrong again.
Anyway….enough babble, on with the visuals!
