Makes me think

... I am sitting here watching The Contender Fan Favorite fights on Yahoo! online at home (shhh, yes, home). Anyway, I just saw a Haverill, MA easily dispose of a religious Jesus supporter (not that there is anything wrong with that). Anyway, it got me thinking... Jeff Fraza, from Haverill is like, 5'10" or something, and was going to get picked on in the house because he was so short. However, the chicken pox beat the housemates and Jeff was sent home. Off subject. Jeff won moments ago and his nickname is great. "The Hell Raza" (raiser) Jeff Fraza. Wonderful. I like it. I wonder what mine would be. First, I'd probably have to change my entire name. Then, I would have to think outside the box. But I would first need a new name. Deion? Harold? See, this is not easy. If I stayed with my real first and last name, could I be "The Mighty Egg"... no. "The Goog in Gugliotta"... crossing sports now. What about, "Just Keepin it Real"...

*** roommate is stuck in room again, laugh with me ***

... I'll pass on that one. See, it is not easy, but I will keep you informed, and then, I will only go by my nickname when you see me on the streets. Oh, and it has to start with "The."

The D-8000 posted a topic on a coffee maker in his office. He will learn they'll get old very quickly, but, what I wanted to talk about was our conversation about Starbucks.

I drink their coffee 90% of the time because I need a strong coffee, number one, and number two, at my office, that is what they "serve" in the cafe. Anyway, I woke up early one weekend and needed to get shizzle done, so I thought I'd grab an early coffee, but got o the 'buck and read the Times for a few minutes (laugh with me). So, I get my "MEDIUM" (I still order like it is dunkin donuts, why? Because I keep it real) coffee and sit down. Once my ass hit the cushion, I sprung back up and left. Why? Because I don't belong there. I was in Jordan sneakers, dirty jeans, a gray hooded sweatShirt that I wore for the past week after the gym, glasses and a hat with sweat stains that was slanted. I don't belong there. And I cannot bring the Herald in there to read the sports section. NO! That is a felony in Starbucky Land. Anyway, to get back at what the 8000 was saying, their environment is not my style, but their coffee is, because of the strength.

Glad I cleared that up, because you all looked concerned.

If you have a TiVo of some sort, whether is be a Comcast DVR or a TiVo, why does that mean you HAVE to watch the show the next day? I think it is because people want to come into work and get involved in the following conversation:

Person with no TiVo ("Loser"): So, did you watch the The Daniel Stern Show last night!?! It was awesome!
Person with TiVo ("GOD"): No, I TiVo'd it.
Loser: So, when are you going to watch it?
GOD: Tonight.
Loser: Then you'll miss Jiminy Glick! What will you do?!!!
GOD: I'll TiVo that and watch it the following night.
Loser: So, you'll always be one behind?
GOD: Yes.
Loser: That makes sense. I guess your Tuesday's are too busy for Jiminy Glick, but not for The Daniel Stern Show.
GOD: Well, I am a busy man.

NY Times Article

This is an excellent article in the NY Times about a man doing his job. His clients love him, but that's about it.

Drew Rosenhaus is a unique individual, but, I do agree that he does his job extremley well....althoughI hate him.

Got to agree with him here:

"To unhappy fans, I can understand their emotions, but I wonder if they would feel differently if I represented them," he said. "If a team decides that it no longer needs a player's services, why shouldn't a player who is not being paid equal to his performance be able to ask the team for more money? Why should it be a one-way street?"

Anyway, check out the full article here: Drew Rosenhaus is Scum (registration is required, but it is worth it)

Busy day? Yeah, right.

So, I was reading my post about my roommate pissing his pants. Let me clear up the second half of the story. I guess, when he passed out in his room, that he somehow fucked up his doorknob and it broke off and locked himself in. Now, like I said, I am no MacGyver, but I can improvise a solution (scissors, pen, screwdriver). Anyway, I hear knocking at 8am and about 15 min of unsuccessful attempts, I hear the faint sound of him crying my name. I eventually caved in and let him out.

The Contender undercard fights start @ 3 with the main event live @ 8. I've been pulling for "The Pride of Providence" Peter Manfredo Jr this whole time. Do it up. I will say this, both Manfredo and "The Latin Snake" Sergio Mora are both class acts. Can't go wrong with either one.
