Damn cheating bastard!

I’m not a huge baseball fan, but when you’re home team goes to the World Series, you take notice. Especially in Saint Louis, where some of the most fanatic baseball fans in the country live. I’ve got to go ahead and put it out there. Kenny Rogers is a cheater. He has shamed his team and shamed Detroit. The umpires should be canned for dropping the ball and not kicking him out of the game.
I do applaud Tony Larussa for not pressing the issue though. If I were in the world series and someone cheated, everyone knew it but those who can do something about it didn’t, then I wouldn’t stomp my feet and throw a fit. Will it get something done about it? Probably not. What it would do is tarnish the win. Saint Louis is in a pretty good position though. Supposing we lose by one game, we can always say it was because of that cheating bastard. They had to resort to cheating to beat us, so what does that say about us? If we win, the victory is that much sweeter because we overcame the opposition even with them cheating.
Cheating bastard.

Heroes

So, I watch Heroes on NBC. Being a fan of superheroes in general (I also watch Smallville) I am naturally inclined to like the show on principle. There have been several attempts to make superhero based shows and most of the time they fail. For some reason, this one isn't. Could it be because the acting is decent? Could it be that the special effects are decent as well. The flying scene in the first episode was pretty poor, but the flying scene this week was great. I'm not exactly sure why he caused contrails in the air. I thought that was a byproduct of jet engines pushing air around, but I could be wrong. This is the internet, so I'm sure the first yahoo who reads this will correct me.
Anyway, so I was watching heroes and a thought occured to me. What's up with that Niki girl's powers? She's split personality and her other side kicks ass? That doesn't sound very super to me, it sounds like they have medication for that. Granted, she does see her reflection in the mirror doing winking and what not...again, medication for that. I'm hoping there is more than meets the eye with her.
Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts.

No more TV problems...officially

It’s been a few days now and no powering off for the TV. Hoorah! I can now set my DVR to record while I’m away with confidence. Happy days for me!

An HDTV...repaired

Repair guy was here today and he swapped out the digital power board. Of course, there’s no way to test the TV to see if it works now. We just have to wait and see if it turns off again.

A resolution!!!

Woo hoo! I called LG today and they said that they had just resolved the problem. It’s going to require the digital power board to be replaced. They called a repair place for me and gave them the part they needed to order. So, now I just need to wait for them to call me to fix my TV.

Pluto no more

So Pluto is no longer a planet. I guess the textbook companies are going to be raking it in selling new “correct” textbooks to thousands of high schools all over the country. It would probably be a good time to invest in a textbook company. Do textbook companies have stock? Are they traded publicly? Curious.

ONE to never read into...

Oh, it's magic, and with no strings, or pullies. It brings the world to a stop and resets it to zero so as to get back your bearings upon its ending. Kiss. Just the word alone has influenced one band, COUNTLESS movies, books, any media really. It has tested the weak, the strong, and been the cause of wars and in that regard the deaths of uncountless numbers. But, it has only been in the past twenty to twenty-five years of our "glorious" history that this word and act has been watered down like brown-bagged wine and liquor. Some kiss indescriminately, and with no regard and those they kiss feel the same way and the physical acts they persue are just those acts and stunts. But, the most dangerous, and ones to be watched and walked around with a clear 100 feet between you and them are those who do it with passion and love in the forefront, but hollowed eyes that open halfway through. These are the true tricksters and gypsies once talked about in fairy tales, the tales that always ended with one character dead in some sort of just, but cryptic way. For your part, you must never read into this the feelings and emotion that will follow, it will burn you and burn you to the core. Life will not reset, but rather skip and then run backwards to catch up with the masses. It will make you nauseous, and claw at your temples with hopes of stopping your mind from feathering towards insanity. A kiss is a dangerous thing. In all truth it is the last true magic left in the world, black magic, and it is widely accepted and completely legal no matter what nation you live in. Oh I fallen for it, and in this very month. That sweet heroine glistening on velvet pillow lips, and I came back for more and more. But, I never heed my own warnings, and am left to deal with the aftermath and the clawing. It shames me to think that I am that weak and out of control of my own simple life and surroundings. So, on I go with this simple warning in two parts 1. NEVER read into a Kiss what you wish it to mean, you will be cut down. 2. Stick to heroine or a strong alcohol, think of the bottle as a mouth if it helps, its cheaper and will always be there for unquestioning and accepting, and for much less the cost of the ellusive Kiss. Shame on the Kiss.
