Quality of Life Force?

Now, I know I already posted, but today I'm a post-whore. You'll see me thirty times (or more) on here posting about random stuff I've seen/not seen but heard. Right now though, I pulled up the hometown newspaper Newsday (that's LI, not shitty PA) and the front page on the internet site is about how the "Quality of Life" Force is trying to shut down a adult-shop which resides in the town of Babylon, New York (close proximity to Farmingdale). I don't know about you, but I've only stepped foot in one adult oriented shop, and my time there was rather pleasant, I was treated nicely, although prices are fucking outrageous in a place like that. This is the link to said article.

Interesting side point, there is a sign off of I-81, that reads "What do you lose by using Porn? Everything!" and everytime I see said sign, I chuckle and then sternly say "Negative good sirs." Prude people piss me off, man. Everyone has to make a living, and in some cases you have to be risque to do so. Whatever. I mean, I saw these porn shops constantly whilst living in New York, and they're strict as fuck when it comes to letting people inside, therefore I don't understand why people are so worried. Just because it's there I suppose, and old-people, and parents who don't let their kids out of the house have nothing better to do than bitch.

Another side-bar is that I was in the can today, and reading the new Kevin Smith book "My Boring Ass Life" and I look on the floor and there is local Chambersburg, PA newspaper the Public Opinion and on the front page (THE FRONT PAGE!) was something about how they've gotten a few citations on the streets of Shippensburg after following school buses around or some shit. Who cares about this shit? WHO GIVES A FUCK!? Seriously, I could give a fuck less about some dumbshit redneck who gets pummeled by a car after getting dropped off by a bus. There's a reason why too, because in all honesty, he probably didn't look both ways.

Torre agrees to principle contract with Dodgers...

That's right folks, Ex-Yankee skipper has apparently agreed in principle to a contract with the Dodgers spanning 3-years, and worth 14.5 mill. I know, I honestly don't give managers enough credit (unless it's Bobby Cox), but I do believe that Torre is a good manager, he had a good relationship with his guys, and just ran shit. The problem with the Yankees is, and will always be, the constant watch of Steinbrenner who should just buck up and manage the team himself.

Anyway, Torre to the Dodgers, Girardi to be the Yank's skipper.

Short is not GL...

Columbus Short is not going to play Green Lantern in George Miller's upcoming Justice League of America flick. He was apparently approached for the flick, and turned down their proposal saying that he doesn't want to do that type of movie.

Is this the same cat that did Accepted and Stomp The Yard or am I confused.

Regardless of his decision on a movie that I'll most likely boycott, I'd still like the cat to play Damon in FD:RLI.

So, whatever.

Week 8 picks a SUCCESS!

I would just like everyone to know that I went 12-1 in my week 8 NFL picks, holy eff.

Yes, I'm back from my three day or two-and-a-half day vacation. I enjoyed it, and seeing as how I was at the Jets game, I had to pick them, that's the only game I lost on.

Regardless, I thought everyone would get a kick out of this comic strip I found today. I might get sued for this.

The Mix Tapes.

Okay, so they're literally not tapes, but close enough. I'm going on a trip, and I decided to make mixed tapes (cds) and did so. Here are the track listings; download at your leisure...but not from me, you jerks:

10. Brand New - "Jesus Christ"
11. Eve 6 - "Saturday Night"
12. The Mars Volta "L'Via L'Viagues"
13. Josh Radin - "Winter"
14. Midtown - "Empty Like the Ocean"

16. Bob Dylan - "Lily Rose and the Jack of Hearts"
17. Cartel - "If you do, if you don't"
18. Motion City Soundtrack - "Hello Helicopter"
19. Hey Mercedes - "It's been a blast"
20. Rolling Stones - "Angie"

As you can tell, my mind is every-fucking-where, man. I don't know. I'm just glad they're done. Compiling some of my favorite songs onto discs (some of them are favorites, some of them are riding music) is hard to do. This is not all of my favorite songs either. There truly are albums, that I love to death, but sometimes you get sick of certain albums while you're driving. So I create these; The Perfect Blend of Chaotic Mess.
