It's All Part of the Process
It's a horse. A horse.
Of course, of course.
I understand the owner, breeder, trainer - it was their "baby," as well as their lucrative investment. But the people who post on the Barbaro message board? Deadspin spoofed these people, but quite often, the humor in sarcasm lies in the fact that it's true.
There are people dying in the streets, homeless...drug addicts...kids with nowhere to go.
And the nation pours out its heart for a shampooing horse...
I get confused by people sometimes. I guess it takes a base of insanity to be able to translate for the insane.
-----
There's the Super Bowl on Sunday, I guess.
Who cares? I hope neither team wins. I really couldn't care less.
If it's not the Pats, and not the Saints, then I don't care.
Not watching it. Don't care about the commercials. It's all crap to me. I see Sunday night as a time for me to get some reading done, watch some movies and go to bed by like 8.
Yeah, I'm a real social shampooing butterfly, huh?
-----
Can't get enough of the Shins new album. And I love the Decemberists.
Both can't misses.
-----
Watched Little Miss Sunshine again. Was raved to about it, saw it, liked, didn't love it.
But watched it again (hello, redundancy), and loved it.
Steve Carell played a great role as the straight (gay) guy, the little girl was great, and Toni Collette - very underrated.
Alan Arkin - also priceless.
-----
I sat down for dinner with some older folks who are friends of the program. Seven minutes in - two C words and one T word. Amazing.
-----
Todd Helton. I'm not against it, if it costs us two old dudes, Craig Hansen and the Rockies pay half.
He brings a good bat, a solid glove, is a good clubhouse guy, and I can part with Lowell, Tavarez, and a guy who has one pitch.
-----
Memo to folks who IM me: don't do it non-stop.
And if I write back with one word answers like "yep," "huh," and "fine," then take the shampooing hint.
-----
When did it become Winter and why didn't anyone tell me? I liked it alot better not wearing a coat at Christmas time.
-----
Here's a joke I heard the other day, I thought it was great.
Q: How many kids with ADD does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Wanna go on a bike ride, ooh I like pickles!?!
-----
0-21?
Just killing our RPI. Killing it.
-----
Need to make a new mixtape for my car - the one I have is starting to get old.
If I do, perhaps I can upload it for all to enjoy.
-----
Alright, I also need to start blogging more. And exercising. And to stop swearing and drinking.
Yeah, whatever.
yh&os,
