I find that I am becoming more cynical and bitter in my old age. I never set out to be this way. I am 28, and I wake up with various aches and pains. My metabolism has slowed to a snail's pace. But I still have all my hair, and I would say that it's even thicker and fuller than in my college years. So at least I have that going for me.
The reason that I bring all this up is that I recently had one of those moments in life when you realize that you're not a kid anymore. I was in my local suburban mega-mall and decided to kill some time in Hollister. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Hollister, it's like an Abercrombie and Fitch. As soon as I walked in, I realized that it was a mistake. I was greeted at the door (more on this in a second) by a Brooke Hogan look-a-like. Let's get back to the door for a second. If you have ever tried to go into a Hollister store, it takes 3 minutes just trying to find the correct entrance. I guess that this is part of the mystique. The whole front of the store looks like multiple entrances. However, they all have tables blocking your forward progress. I guess what I am saying is that if you don't know what you're doing, you're going to get lost. Trust me on this. Anyway.....I go in and Brooke lets me know that they are having a sale on cargo shorts. I made sure to put that under advisement. After browsing for about 2 minutes I realized that my time had passed in this store. My sphere of clothing stores is growing smaller and smaller by the year. In a few years I will be limited to just Brooks Brothers, Bachrach, and Banana Republic. A sad, sad day.
Next, let's change it up a bit. Every once and a while I like to put an alert out for something that I think needs to be eliminated for the public good. Well, now is one of those times. The new public enemy number one is hard taco shells. I am sick and tired of these things. They are useless. Has anyone in the last 100 years been able to eat a taco out of one of these shells without the whole thing disintegrating after the first bite. Then you end up with a taco salad. The soft shell taco should be the only viable option. This will be one of my main campaign platforms when I run for President in 2032.
Finally, I have one other pet peeve that I would like to get off my chest. It's people who feel the need to highlight an entire page in a text book. Last time I checked the highlighter was used to emphasize certain parts of a text. However, if you're highlighting everything, then nothing stands out! I don't know why, but this really irritates me.
Ok, that's enough for this week. Talk to you all later.

Blue / White Weekend
Ok, a couple of quick housekeeping items before we get to the main event.
First, something that I meant to include in last week's posting, but my self-induced carpal tunnel made it impossible. You know what phrase I absolutely can not stand? It's "they were in the wrong place at the wrong time." I heard that a lot over the past week with regards to the Virginia Tech incident. However, every time I hear it, I fail to see how the innocent victim was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Um, it seems like the students and faculty in that building were in exactly the right place at the right time. It was whack-job with the guns who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Agreed? I thought so.
Next, for those of you who didn't catch the evening news, it appears that former Russian President Boris Yeltsin passed away today at the age of 76. And, I know what you're asking. Yes, someone did have him. CWG was highly skilled in placing Mr. Yeltsin in his number one position. So, that counts as 240 points. I believe that he is still behind RS though. Also, I have a goal this weekend of trying to get some sort of permanent Soul Bowl website up. I can't promise anything, but at least I am going to try.
Ok, now for the meat and potatoes. Had the chance to make it up to State College this past weekend for the annual Penn State Blue White game. For those of you who didn't have a chance to make it up, let him give you the rundown:
The whole town was covered in the Virginia Tech colors of Maroon and Orange. The college had tons of PSU shirts printed up in the VT colors. The student section that normal forms the big "S" during games formed a giant "VT" this weekend. Pretty cool. Unfortunately, I only saw this on ESPN for about 10 seconds. I thought that it was a great gesture, and I would have liked to have seen it get more publicity.
As for the game, I can only give you the perspective of a man who sat in an endzone for only the first two quarters. What can I say? It was hot. And I was getting sunburned. So, I am going to give you my expert breakdown like I attended the whole game, and I know what I am talking about football-wise.
First, the offense this year is going to be phenomenal. And by phenomenal, I mean that we can only complete short passes into the flat, and we will run the ball up the middle for 1 yard a carry. I think I just got a headache trying to figure out what I want engraved on my 2007 PSU National Championship ring.
From what I saw, Morelli looked very rusty. However, as long as we have Shaquille O'Neal and a couple of other 7-footers at wide receiver we should be able to deal with all the passes he threw high. From what I saw, the best quarterback on the field was Paul Cianciolo. However, I talked to the Chad tonight, and he let me know that Morelli wasn't playing with the 1st team offensive line. I guess that would make a big difference. (As a side note, I think that there was a 50/50 chance that I was sitting directly behind Morelli's parents. For record, my comments were tame and only that he looked out of sync. The other people in our section were much more harsh than us. When they got up at halftime we noticed that the "mom" had a PSU shirt with an embroidered 14 on it. It looked like the kind of thing that would be custom made and distributed to each player's parent. So, when they complain this week that the fans haven't given Ant-nee a chance, you'll all know who to blame.)
The only receiver who caught anything while I was there was Jordan Norwood. After looking over the game stats though, it looks like Chris Bell had a very good game as well. See, Chris, good things can happen when you're not arguing over chicken cosmos!
I can't really comment on the defense because I wasn't paying attention that closely. If anyone else was there, feel free to comment.
Thats all for now. Take care and I will talk to you later.

Rising from the Ashes.....
Well, it looks like I picked a fine time to have my trusty Dell take a crap on me. As you all know by now, I was without the Internet for about 10 days. However, I am proud to report that I am writing this from a brand spankin' new Dell laptop. I could have updated last night, but I didn't have cable (more on this in a moment). But, as luck would have it, this blog went silent when you all needed me the most. We didn't get a chance to discuss a lot of stuff. So, I started a running log on the whiteboard in my kitchen to collect all the random thoughts that I had while I was down. So, without further ado......
I guess I can't really start any other place than with the shootings at Virginia Tech. When I saw what happened, I couldn't help but wonder if something like that could happen at dear Old State. But those thoughts were quickly interrupted by the knowledge that it did happen there. Only a year before the Dunmore Elite arrived on campus, a mentally ill young woman killed a fellow student on the HUB lawn. It just puts things into focus about how precious life is, and how quickly it can be snatched away. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Virginia Tech community.
A lot of people want to make this incident into a debate about guns. And on the surface, its a pretty compelling argument. But the thing to remember is that he acquired the guns legally. Maybe we should have a slightly more elaborate process to be able to purchase a firearm than a 1 minute background check. However, I think its a slippery slope to use one event to try and pry even more of our rights away from us. First, the government restricts gun sales, and the next thing you know they are using illegal wiretaps and spying on American citizens. Umm....ok, bad example. But you get the point. Also, before we blame the guns, how about we blame the weirdo who did this? Quite frankly, I would feel much safe if all the weirdos were rounded up and their access to us normal folks was restricted.
Also, can someone help me out with this kid's name. Now, remember that I have had restricted access to the media (Internet and cable) during this whole thing. How do you pronounce it? Cho looks like the first name, but they are using it as a last name. Why is this?
You really have to wonder what pushes a person to this kind of thing. Initially, the AP was reporting that he was upset because Ron Mexico had given him herpes. I am pretty sure this wasn't true, but you have to wonder.
Whew.....OK, enough of the serious stuff. Moving right along.....
As I alluded to previously, my cable TV was out as well. You really have no idea how dependent you become on things until they are taken from you. I didn't have TV from Monday until tonight. Turns out that someone else in my apartment building moved and Comcast sent someone out to turn off their service. However, they disconnected mine instead. Good times! However, I am proud to report that I am back in business (along with a new DVR). And they did credit me for the days that I didn't have any service. So, I didn't have to start a new boycott on them or anything. (But they are on my watchlist.)
Keeping with my public utilities theme, a lot of people around me lost power this past weekend. For those of you who don't live in the southeastern PA area, we had a Nor'Easter come through here. It dropped a ton of rain, and the winds were strong enough to knock down power lines. Here's my question. At what point does it make sense for the power company to bury the damn lines? Maybe I am missing the big picture, but this just makes a ton of sense to me. I would think that the added maintenance cost would be offset by the reduced outages and manpower that is required when lines go down. Not sure if you are aware of this, but when union labor has to get out of bed at 2 am, that doesn't come cheap. Now, some people who regularly post to this blog are infinitely more qualified to answer this than me. And, I am expecting a full report to why this isn't being done.
Should I break all these thoughts up into a 2nd post or just keep going? Ah, screw it.....I'm going on.
This whole Don Imus situation was beaten into the ground, so I don't want to go into it. But one thing about the process confused me. At the end, the Rutger's women's basketball team accepted the apology that Imus gave. The media reported this like it was a big deal. Like it was a necessary event in the healing process. What exactly is the formal context of "accepting" an apology? If they had rejected the apology, what would have happened? Would we have had to start over again? Would he have had to make a counter-proposal apology that was a better offer? These are the things I like to think about.
I watched the VH1 Rock Honors in HD over the weekend. One of the groups that they honored was Def Leppard. One of the songs that they performed was "Rocket." In the chorus they sing "Rocket. Yeah....." and then something that I couldn't understand. I tried to figure out what these words were. My best guess was "Rocket. Yeah. Sail away....yeah." Turns out that the correct lyrics are "Rocket. Yeah. Satellite of Love." That wasn't even close. Looks like I picked a bad week to stop doing mushrooms.
I have a beef with the literary community. Can we please stop using the words "latter" and "former" when we are describing items in a list? I can never remember which is which. And if you think I am stupid, think really quickly which means the first and which means the second one. Couldn't do it either, huh? I thought so. Let's just all agree to stop using these. Thank you.
You know what irritates the shit out of me for no reason at all? Those kids with those sneakers with roller skates built in. I have no reason to hate these kids as they whiz by me, but I do. I don't think that I have quite reached the age when I am worried about one of these young punks knocking me over and breaking my hip. But I am fully convinced that I can't be more than a year or two away.
Here's another thing that really annoys me. Sometimes when you go to a website and you have to enter an address. Most times I can just type in the letter "P" and it immediately takes me to Pennsylvania. But every once and a while I come across a site that puts the country of Palau, ahead of Pennsylvania. How is this rational? I know that it is in alphabetical order, but it doesn't make any sense. Are we supposed to believe that more Palauans are logging on to the Internet than the residents of PA? Of course not. Let's try to fix this one.
Ok, my hands are hurting. Thats enough for now. Hopefully, I gave you your Kevin fix for a while. Take care and I post again on Monday.

Another week.........
Unfortunately, those of you who waited the whole week hoping for a knock-out post this week, you're going to be disappointed. Just more of the same crap that I usually put out week after week. Enjoy!
A funny story to pass along to you. Last week at work, I had a seminar taught by an outside speaker. The room where this was held had the capability for a wireless microphone. At one point during the presentation, we took a break and the speaker headed to the men's room. (If anyone has seen the Naked Gun, you'll know where this is going.) However, he did not realize that the microphone was still on. Someone had the decency to race into the men's room and quickly alert him to this fact before we heard too many "noises."
Next, when I become President in 2032 one of the first things that I will outlaw is cars that park on the side of road and they look like police cars. Basically, if you are driving a late model Impala or Crown Victoria the only color that it should come in is periwinkle blue. This would eliminate the worst feeling that you can have on the road (well, 2nd worst, right after eating Taco Bell and realizing that the next rest stop is 50 miles away.) That is the feeling of cruising along and before you know it, you see that car parked along the side of the road. You immediately hit the brakes to get your speed down a bit. However, as you draw closer you realize that it's just some knucklehead who stopped to stretch his legs. I hate that! This will be eliminated in the Kevin administration.
Till next week.
***** Three quick addendums since I originally posted this. First, someone brought this to my attention and I completely agree. If I ever have a health crisis make sure to get me the doctor who worked on President Palmer on 24. In the span of about 8 hours, President Palmer went from deathbed to coma to running the nation from his secure bunker. Good times!
Also, I am switching back and forth to the NCAA Basketball Finals. In the three minutes that I watched they called 37 fouls. This can't be good for the game. Also, this has been mentioned a lot, but I am going to bring it up anyway. Does anyone see Greg Oden pulling a Danny Almonte and us finding out 10 years from now that Oden is really 32? I say yes.
Finally, don't allow yourself to get on Wikipedia under any circumstances. I might have mentioned this before, but it's a good warning for everyone out there. You'll lose at least an hour of your life on there. The worst thing that happens is that you start reading articles about MacGyver and an hour later you're now reading the complete history of American Gladiators. Just a scary waste of time. ****************

A funny story to pass along to you. Last week at work, I had a seminar taught by an outside speaker. The room where this was held had the capability for a wireless microphone. At one point during the presentation, we took a break and the speaker headed to the men's room. (If anyone has seen the Naked Gun, you'll know where this is going.) However, he did not realize that the microphone was still on. Someone had the decency to race into the men's room and quickly alert him to this fact before we heard too many "noises."
Next, when I become President in 2032 one of the first things that I will outlaw is cars that park on the side of road and they look like police cars. Basically, if you are driving a late model Impala or Crown Victoria the only color that it should come in is periwinkle blue. This would eliminate the worst feeling that you can have on the road (well, 2nd worst, right after eating Taco Bell and realizing that the next rest stop is 50 miles away.) That is the feeling of cruising along and before you know it, you see that car parked along the side of the road. You immediately hit the brakes to get your speed down a bit. However, as you draw closer you realize that it's just some knucklehead who stopped to stretch his legs. I hate that! This will be eliminated in the Kevin administration.
Till next week.
***** Three quick addendums since I originally posted this. First, someone brought this to my attention and I completely agree. If I ever have a health crisis make sure to get me the doctor who worked on President Palmer on 24. In the span of about 8 hours, President Palmer went from deathbed to coma to running the nation from his secure bunker. Good times!
Also, I am switching back and forth to the NCAA Basketball Finals. In the three minutes that I watched they called 37 fouls. This can't be good for the game. Also, this has been mentioned a lot, but I am going to bring it up anyway. Does anyone see Greg Oden pulling a Danny Almonte and us finding out 10 years from now that Oden is really 32? I say yes.
Finally, don't allow yourself to get on Wikipedia under any circumstances. I might have mentioned this before, but it's a good warning for everyone out there. You'll lose at least an hour of your life on there. The worst thing that happens is that you start reading articles about MacGyver and an hour later you're now reading the complete history of American Gladiators. Just a scary waste of time. ****************
