Stuck In My Head

See, I'm telling you, this bro came down with the Kony 2012 fever.  One minute he's coming up with a half hour video to watch on YouTube and become a social activist, next minute he's going Martin Lawrence on all of our asses, you know, except naked.

Listen, it's tough work raking in the money and getting everyone pissed of at Carl Weathers.

Fire it up, Billy!

Closing Time!

NEW YORK –  Oprah Winfrey's OWN network is pulling the curtain on "The Rosie Show" after five months on the air.

The show premiered in October to about 500,000 viewers but lost about half that audience within days of its debut.

Recently, it changed the format from taping before a studio audience to a one-on-one interview setting with celebrities such as Kathy Griffin, Chelsea Handler and former Illinois first lady Patti Blagojevich.

In a statement released by OWN, Winfrey thanked O'Donnell. She called O'Donnell "an incredible partner" who worked to put on the best show "every single day."

O'Donnell also was quoted as saying she loved working with Winfrey and in Chicago and "wished" the show had better ratings.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I despise BOTH Oprah AND Rosie the Riveter. I will, however, say that this news made me smile and not despise O-Dog for about .5 seconds. I am hopeful that no one will ever have to see Rosie's Mr. Potato Head like mug on national television on a regular basis ever again. I also hope that Oprah disappears as well, but for now, I'll be happy with this. 

Please enjoy this collection of "Rancid Rosie Photos" I've compiled to amuse myself on this lazy Tuesday:

Getting this for Big Ran as a mouse pad.

Ever hear the expression, "Death warmed over"? 

So much so say, all so inappropriate....

Something tells me NEITHER team wants to claim her...

Really?

Stuck In My Head - March Madness Edition

Double shot for yo minds, yo bodies, and yo souls.  It is day one of the two best days of the year: MARCH MUTHA F*CKIN' MADNESS!!!!!  The second best day is tomorrow.  16 games each day.

I'm not working, I'm getting drunk, hanging with some homies, and just watching non stop hoops.

No D-Rose? No Problem.

That was actually a little dicey without D-Rose.  I started writing this with about 14 seconds to go and thought I jinxed them.

Every time the Heat lose, an angel gets their wings.

Do the happy dance everybody!

Lookin' Good LeBron!

This guy in the FUK LBJ shirt just kills it.  If comedy is all about timing, this guy nailed it.  

If Delonte wasn't balls deep in LeBron's mom, Gloria would be pissed.

Let's go Bulls.  No D-Rose and playing a great game.  Of course it will come down to the fourth quarter, but LeBron will be boarding a plane back to Miami as soon as the third quarter ends.

Have a Heart

First, Jeff Green was lost for the Celtics when he had to have surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm.  Then, today it was announced that Chris Wilcox, a Celtics forward will be done for the season after it was found he needs surgery for an enlarged aorta.

These are both Danny Ainge guys.  He picked up Green in the Kendrick Perkins deal with the Thunder last season that just put a dagger in any chances the Cs had at a title (which were admittedly slim) and Wilcox was a free agent pick up who was paid way too much money based on past health.  Both can certainly contribute; at least that was the hope, especially for Green, who was pretty terrible after the trade last year, but was seen as a major building block post-big three.  

My questions is this:  if you are a free agent after this season and Danny Ainge gives you a call (the Cs will have a ton of free cap space unless they deal expiring contracts before tomorrow's NBA trade deadline), how fast do you hang up?  If I saw Danny Ainge pop up on my caller ID, I would toss my phone right out the window of a moving car, or into the ocean.  I'll keep my aortas, thank you very much.

To end on a positive note, with Jeff Green sidelined, I have noticed  that the man is an amazing dresser.  He just has style for days.  Maybe he could hook Danny up with some advice.

How Pissed Is Mike D'Antoni?

OK, so Mike D'Antoni will never be confused with Red Auerbach.  He's supposed to be an offensive genius, but couldn't make it work with Stoudemire, Melo, and Linsanity.  With that said, Stoudemire left his knees and corneas in Phoenix and Melo is a f*cking diva and a coach killer.  Fact: the Knicks were 8 - 1 without Melo this year (I think that's right, I don't know if it's a fact).

So, while D'Antoni probably should have been canned earlier, I give him credit for telling the Knicks and Melo to go screw.  However, tonight, the Knicks go out and drop 121 points on the Blazers, winning by 42 points.  That must just f*cking suck.

I have left a few jobs and while I wish them the best, I want them to miss me desperately.  Isn't that what anyone wants?  You don't want a place to get better after you leave.

I can totally picture D'Antoni just absolutely hammered, by himself, contemplating what went wrong in his life.  I have an idea, he chose to coach the Knicks instead of the Bulls.  On the plus side, if they ever film Top Gun 2 and Tom Skerritt is busy, Mike's agent better get on the horn.

PS: I could also picture D'Antoni just staggering into a bar somewhere in the city and just getting into non-nonsensical arguments with Knicks fans.

Stuck In My Head/Blake for President....

As an NBA Player, you know you've arrived when you are referenced in a rap song. So, just imagine how much more it means when the song's TITLE is your name AND you are referenced constantly throughout the song.

This song is absolutely amazing....I've never heard a song that includes references to both "Family Guy" AND "Blake Griffin". There is absolutely no connection between the two, but that's what makes this my new favorite jam. I only hope I have room on my IPod to add this song to one of my running playlists! I'm not even sure I'll be able to sleep tonight with this song on replay in my head.

I wonder what Blake thinks of this? I wonder if he even KNOWS about it.....if so, I bet he was pretty psyched...and I bet some of his teammates were pretty jealous...

How awesome would it be to actually BE Blake Griffin? Just sayin'......

Irrational Rant...Ride Wit' Me....

Just a brief rant, as Big Ran and I have decided to let loose this week in anticipation of St. Patrick's Day:

Exercise sucks, the gym sucks, and being the laziest person in the world, I'm amazed that I am able to maintain a solid and consistent workout routine. However, I was particularly amazed the other day when I noticed that some of the stationary bikes are designed to be kind of like video games. This infuriated me as I felt like the designers of these machines think the average person is dumb enough to truly believe that riding a stationary bike could ever be fun! I stared at the bikes as I was on the treadmill and noticed the following messages scroll across the screen:


"Ride With Your Friends"- Um, anyone old enough to use the gym knows that their friends are not inside the bike waiting to pop onto the screen and ride with them. And, when I'm with my friends, good times typically don't include leisurely bike rides. (Unless of course you were involved with the making of Queen's "Bicycle Ride" video---honestly, WTF? I almost lost focus on the true point of this post after getting sidetracked by this mess!)

Queen - Bicycle Race - Uncensored - The best video clips are here

"Catch the Ghost" - Is it Halloween? Why would I be in hot pursuit of a ghost? If the developers of this game changed it to having the ghost chase ME, and, more importantly, if said ghost was real, it would probably help me to pedal faster. Again, I'm way too smart for that. Fail.

"Catch the Red Dragon" -Angry dragon, what? I'm a grown ass adult, first off, I know there are no such thing as dragons. Secondly, if there really WERE dragons, why would I be CHASING something that breathes fire and could kill me?  Finally, it's not even Chinese New Year, so I don't know why they are trying to involve dragons in this mess in the first place.

What I also enjoy is that there are points involved. If you 'catch' the dragon, you can get 500 points. They are redeemable for nothing and unless you have really low self-esteem, I can't imagine how catching the virtual dragon will make you feel a sense of accomplishment at all. I, however, cannot speak from personal experience because I have never tried and never, ever will.

That is all.

Blake For President!

Everyone knows I'm a rabid NBA fan. I'll watch any and every game, and in addition to being a "Sports Bigamist" as Big Ran calls me, I also have interest in a lot of individual players, even on teams that I don't really 'follow'. This has been building for a while, but my latest obsession is Blake Griffin. This obsession became official once I started seeing him in the Kia commercials. Honestly, how can you NOT like this kid? Look at the personality, look at his facial expressions, and look at the fact that he's not a punk on or off the court. Why can't the C's have him? Oh wait, we don't want any young and talented big men, and if we get them we trade them away.

No real point to this post, but I just wanted to share the Kia commercials as they are so funny. Why hasn't this dude been invited to host SNL yet? I want to kiss whoever came up with these commercials. You might disagree with me, but I think they are just hilarious and every time I see them, they just get better!

1. This is my favorite one, hands down. Why can't he be at the hairdresser when I go there? Best part, "You know who's a great listener, Mary?".......

                      2. The 24 second mark, dude looks like he's going to start laughing. I love it. Doesn't take himself seriously .
3. There he is AGAIN, just hanging out, being a creep in an awesome way!
4. Does anyone else notice how he's just casually feeding the deer behind him?

This guy is just a riot and I don't think people get it! At least Norm does!

P.S. Expect plenty more posts about Blake the Great.
