Tidbits and Skadoosh.

Hello cyber studs, I've been gone so long because I was overwhelmed with the writing I was doing at work. I never thought I'd get sick of writing but ( gasp!) it happened. I'm back because I realized, "hey, what the hell, let's keep this simple." Shall we?

• Have you ever seen someone do something they think they're special at but they're not unique in their ability to do it. I mean, you look at them and think, "sh*t, I can do that!" Yeah, that happens to me a lot. Let's take a moment to feel outraged. Ok, let's move on now.

• Will Leitch is leaving deadspin.com! Wow, this has been a big year for him. He published a book. He got a lot of press after Buzz Bissinger's rude-dude 'tude backfired. Now he's going to be a contributer for New York Magazine. I mean, I'm talking about him in my blog. Big year.

• Adam Wainwright is headed to the DL! I'm not devastated, just annoyed. Apparently he heard his middle finger "pop" and an injury specialist from BaseballProspectus.com told Bernie Miklasz and Randy Karakker on The Roll Home (team1380.net) that this sounds like the same injury that happened to RP Joel Zumaya of the Detroit Tigers. It has some special name I can't remember, so more importantly, Zumaya was out for 4 months-which sucks, but at least it's not a year. If this injury is like Zumaya's, then the good news is it shouldn't be a long term problem for his career. This is just a sucky short term situation. Carpenter is projected to return around the all-star break. We'll see how we-as in the Cardinals and what the heck-Cardinal Nation- handle this.

• I've realized that I can be as stupid as those soap opera characters I used to yell at on TV. Yes, I fell into a soap opera trap because I lived in a third world country and clung to anything in English on TV, no matter how hideous the plot. Enter "The Bold and the Beautiful", but that's a different story for another time. Instead, I'm referring to being a person who's treated poorly but make excuses for the perps, just like those dumbasses in the soaps. I need to see myself on TV so I can see clearly or get better perspective.

• I was watching Queen's 1981 concert in Montreal tonight on DVD (don't ask) and noticed how obviously gay (not PC?) Freddy Mercury was and thought it was hilarious awesome that no one else could tell back then. It was like people in the 80's had some *special gay blind fold on. I mean, he was pretty gay. I even noted he looked like he could be one of the village people. Funny the difference 27 years makes. Now-a-days, no one except for foreign people, old people or little kids could possibly be confused about his sexual orientation. I know, my un-PC-ness is off the charts. *A wildly popular item with Arabs.

• Cubs fans think they're winning the World Series. They believe that this is their year, because, God knows, they were just kidding about the other 100 times they believed it was their year.TELL ME SOMETHING NEW! Tell me a Cubs fan believes they are the ancestor of the modern Pirates fan or that Wrigley Field is really the world's largest toilet (fact). Just tell me something....anything....besides this repetative Cubby faith crap. Thank God I've only been alive for 24 years of this bitching. I couldn't stand 100.

• I give Sex in the City-the movie- and Kung Fu Panda both thumbs up! Kung Fu Panda has me saying "Skadoosh" like a crackhead says, "just one dollar,maaaan". It's an addictively awesome word and fits anywhere. Skadoosh! see?

• I walked through our living room and noticed oversized objects everywhere. I can eat rice with our huge decorative wooden spoon, drink tea or coffee with our huge decorative tea/coffee pot or watch TV on our big screen TV. I'm sure I'm missin something. I'll be back with more. But you never know, we might have to feed that Arab GIANT that apparently lives in our basement with that wooden spoon.

• I want to kick those middle aged men who insist on calling me "sweetie" in the knee caps. And then clonk their heads together. I'm not your sweetie.

• I went to Milwaukee and tried to go to a Brewers-Astros game. It was sold out cause of Ryan Braun **bobblehead day. Here's my report: their stadium is not in the middle of downtown Milwaukee, they do some serious tailgating in their lots, and I screamed "Brewers SUUUUUUUUUCK" as we drove off. Repeatedly. **Brewers fans are known to be bobblehead whores. Seriously, every time I watch a Brewers game, bobblehead days sell out like nobody's business. SKADOOSH!
