A wanna-be author
Here is a completely random, old school Peter-Gammons-style blogpost:
- The Arizona Cardinals are in the Super Bowl. Are you [expletive deleted] kidding me? The Cubs can’t even win a single playoff game but the Cardinals are allowed to play in the most-watched sporting event in the world? Who are these sporting gods I’ve been praying to?
- Is this a world I want to live in?
- The Cubs have traded Felix Pie. According to the AP, he has gone the way of Corey Patterson. Whoa, hold up a second. Pie needs at least 2 full seasons of sucktitude before we can compare him to Corey Patterson.
- While we are on sports, Duke is better than you. Get over it and stop bitching.
- Onto something else. I am without a doubt the only person under 30 who is legitimately excited about Bruce Springsteen performing during the Super Bowl halftime show. I cannot explain why I love the Boss so much but if you do not appreciate him, I do not want to be friends with you.
- If you do enjoy some Bruce, PLEASE buy “Stay Positive” by The Hold Steady. Great album. Good music, great lyrics and a nice flow to the whole thing.
- Also, I am totally PO’d that “The Wrestler” is not playing in any local theaters. The movie looks amazing and I can attest that the song Bruce wrote for the piece is tits.
- During my nightly internet browsing I came across a new series of comics titled: “Hexed”. Based on the description it is “Like a supernatural version of JJ Abrams’ Alias, it’s Buffy gone bad.” I am sold. Go to io9.com to get a link to the FREE online copy.
- Now that we are onto science fiction, after viewing the season premiere of Battlestar, all I can think of is the song that the waitress at the Haufbrau plays by request. Except this time I sing: “Who the [expletive deleted] is Ellen?”
- Sorry for pulling a 180 but for all of you who lambasted Jimmy Carter after his most recent book tour, are you really pleased with Isreal’s most recent actions? I didn’t think so. Read the book this time, assholes.
- Woodruff will not close. No high school in D150 should close. We need more teachers, not fewer. And the teachers we have are not BAD teachers, most are alumni who cared enough to take a low-paying job just to make a difference at their alma mater. I’m not claiming that the school board has exhausted all options but I sure as hell haven’t seen any others published in the PJStar.
- Wait, so Bush is STILL POTUS? I thought we ended that a couple months ago.
- ZOMG! Obama will be Inaugurated on Tuesday? Maybe this IS a world I want to live in.

Ellen is a Red Herring. She’ just an aged version of Six, so she isn’t new/different.

i can believe that. so who is the REAL final cylon. i have a bad feeling that the writers will pull a “Time Magazine” and say that YOU are the final cylon, then put a big mirror on our tv screens.

Bruce Springsteen DOES suck. He might have been relevant for a few seconds in 1978, but it ended there. Seeing the white boy with no rhythm try to dance, with a head nearly the size of the rest of his body, and that fake-ass growling “voice,” truly makes me wanna puke up even the Hunts tenderloin I had in 1996.
Perhaps the most overrated entertainer of all time. Just ahead of Mariah Carey and Rascal Flatts.
Bleeeeeeeeeeech.

come on prego. first of all how dare you talk ill of Mariah. all women are crazy and that being so i’d prefer they had a body and a voice like Mariah. also, do NOT tell me the Boss sucks. that is simply untrue and shortsighted. obviously my opinions are better than yours therefore everything i say is smart and everything you say is dumb. don’t you pay attention?

Mariah Carey might have a decent body… if you’re into having your women dress like a whore… but her face is really really bad. Looks like Howdy Doody. And, that ain’t good. Her music really sucks. Bad bad sh*t. Sings like she has a parakeet trying to crawl up her arse. Not that I would know how that feels, but I’m guessing it might tickle.
You might have good taste in loafers, Neil, but you don’t know jack ’bout music. The Boss appeals to folks who think they’re “on the edge” by putting their speed control at 3 MPH over the posted limit. The guy tries to growl like he’s a tough guy… but, we all know that even Billy could kick his Jersey candy arse around the block a few times.
Dude should retire for real. His “music” has been retired since February 1978.

Helo is the final Cylon. That makes his and Athena-Sharon’s baby the first Cylon-on-Cylon baby, and thus the real defining groundbreaking baby of the prophecy. I don’t want Ellen to be the final Cylon. She’s too damn annoying to live forever.
Of course, I hated the choices of the Final Four Cylons also. Tigh as a Cylon didn’t make any sense until this episode (s04e11).
