Blink Thinking

Some of my thoughts and feelings on news and useless pop culture information:

"Daughtry's "Idol" Exit Fuels Rumors":

I can't believe that for a second, it was (besides McPhee) between Somebody's Uncle and Monkey Boy. I like McPhee because she doesn't look like an old guy or a monkey.

Update: Monkey's off, so it's gonna be between McPhee and the Old 29 yr. grandpa. I'm not saying I don't like how he sings, he just looks like SOMEBODY'S UNCLE.

"Sheen Remains Restrained":

This divorce almost makes me never want to get married.

"Paris Hilton Plays Name Game":

I didn't even read this article. I assume it's about some new word she and her lackies love to use or whatever. I just want to flick her in the forehead or give her a wedgie.

"Alec Baldwin Gets Father's Day Visit":

Did I say Charlie Sheen's divorce was nasty. I'm sorry, I meant Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger's divorce was. These people have as much fuzzy feelings for one another as comic book villains and heroes.

"Cheney’s notes eyed in CIA leak probe":

If I were Bart Simpson and were by my chalkboard, I'd be writing, "I do not trust this administration. I do not trust this administration. I do not trust this administration." They are lying liars. If they lived on a make believe island, it would be called "lyington" and they would eat "key-lying-pie" for lunch. I just don't believe anything they tell me and I finally understand how conspiracy theories are created. Perhaps this island runs by the alias, Whitehouse?

"Will the United States negotiate with Iran?":

I know this has nothing to do with the headline but whenever I see election bumper stickers on cars that say, "Bush, Cheney", I have the urge to create my own bumper sticker and stick it on those cars with a saying something along the lines of, "thanks for voting to ruin my life". I'm open to suggestions.

On Another Note:

Diggin' The Sopranos. Yeah, it took me this long to get into it. What makes me laugh on the sly is how uncomfortable all these guys who regularly watch the show must be with the gay storyline. You all know what I'm talkin' about. Thought you could carry your homophobia to the Sopranos, didn't ya?

Grey's Anatomy still kicks ass. I've been in love since episode 1. If you're one of the 12 people who haven't watched it because you're too cool to give in to pop culture (even if they're actually on to something, unlike the undeserving Desperate Housewives) get on the damn bandwagon.

Movies I'm looking forward to:

The Breakup: Vince Vaugn..comic genious. Paired up with Jennifer Aniston? Classic comic duo in the making. Trailers look hilarious.

The DaVinci Code: Love the book. Love Tom Hanks. Therefore, I predict I'll love the movie.

Cardinals notes:

Cards beat the Mets 1-0 today on a beauty thrown by Mulder. Yesterday's loss didn't scare me as much as the voodoo the Mets must've placed on Albert. A hard foul off his leg and slipping to fall on his back gave just about everyone in Cardinal nation a heart attack. Thank goodness God loves the Cardinals.

I almost want to pinch myself, I can't believe how much attention pujols is getting.

The cover of Sports Illustrated (Again) and Sporting News in the same week, not to mention articles devoted solely to him espn.com, cnnsi.com and USA TODAY...

We in St. Louis have known we've had El Hombre for half a decade now, but to see the rest of the nation finally catch on is surreal. The only downside is that he's also garnering some negative attention from people who are assuming he must be on something. McGwire and Bonds have ruined the innocence that we could have enjoyed while taking in Pujols' greatness. I always imagined that once Pujols got his attention it would all be fine and dandy. But now I realize those doubters can take away from some of the enjoyment, the same way that rain spoils a wedding day. It makes me mad that this person I've been idolizing for years is now being scrutinized by the same people who kept Bonds in the limelight, reducing Pujols to second best, year after year.

GO CARDS!

GO PUJOLS!

Like everyone else, I am going to die. But the words – the words live on
for as long as there are readers to see them, audiences to hear them. It is
immortality by proxy. It is not really a bad deal, all things considered.
