"At least we kept them under a hundred"

So your son and his football team get worked to the tune of 91-0. What do you do to console him and his buddies? Crack a joke about the score mirroring a game of Madden on PS3 between you and your kid? No, you write an angry e-mail and bitch, bitch bitch.

Really?!?

How soft have we gotten people? It's only a game and life's not fair (insert your fave cliche').

The worst part about it is that the winning coach didn't even play his starters the entire time.

Let's face it Estero High School, your football team sucks. Shame on you for whining. I think two-a-days are in order.

Mudslinging

This McCain-Palin "campaigning" keeps getting worse and worse. If you thing racism, jingoism, isolationism and blind nationalism aren't heavily prevalent in our society on the day to day then look again my friend.

If you're considering voting for the Republican ticket, get your head checked first.

When does "politicking" and electioneering go too far? Right here "my friends": http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/opinion/12rich.html?_r=1&em&oref=slogin

Oakland, CA

That's right, I'm moving to Oakland. Trading the 415 for the 510. Leaving the congestion, the fantasy, the expensive rate of living, the hippies, the bums, the dreamers, the college grads, the yuppies, the grind, the density, the microclimates, the beauty of SF...for Oakland. Haters beware!

Found a nice place to begin again and make the grade. I'm excited about life again. I'm excited to learn, to challenge, to debunk stereotypes, to relax, live and love in the East Bay. Bittersweet but in essence, I ain't goin' nowhere.

Stay tuned...

Essential Reading: "Killing Yourself to Live" by Chuck Klosterman


As neurotic as they are, Chuck Klosterman's tales leave me wanting more. "Killing Yourself to Live" is an entertaining road trip memoir and further proof that Klosterman is definitely a guy you wanna have 3 beers with.

He's slightly older than me but I know his generation fairly well so his diagnosis, analysis and breadth of pop culture knowledge is all the more impressive to me.

More the MTV generation than the Google Generation, Klosterman gives a rock history lesson while entertaining. His trials and tribultations with the fairer sex can get a bit whiney and stagnant and repetitive but I kept turning the pages. Looking forward to more from the coolest ginger N. Dakota's ever bore.
