Whatchu talkin bout?

Again, another celeb has passed us by.

Child star, Gary Coleman, died recently because of a brain hemmorage. He was 42.

For those on the blog to young to remember, Coleman was very popular on a Friday night sitcom called "Different Strokes".  Google search Dana Plato and Todd Bridges for the other child characters. Coleman's popularlity was as a cute little guy with the catch phrase "Whatchu talkin bout, Willis" (Willis was Todd Bridges).

The sad part of the story was that Coleman really didn't grow much taller than what he was as a 10 yr old. Like a lot of child stars, Coleman had a long history of run ins with the law and some drug use.

It finally happened

I just read an article on Obama and his response to the oil spill problem. I actual give the man some credit no matter how forced he was to say it but he was taking full blame for this problem. I was totally expecting the administration/media to blame Bush somehow. They didnt and Obama took blame for it.

So what should the media do now without Bush as a target, oh they talk about how honorable and risky it was for Obama to take responsibility for this. Then without any doubt they quickly go back to how Bush was responsible for Hurricane Katrina and everything else that happened.

I have been waiting to see how the media was going to make Obama look good in this situation and when the Media was going to bring Bush up somehow. They were able to pull it off in one article. I love Liberal Media!!

An Honest Question

What does Dave Trembley have to do to get fired?

I did not watch the game but all I had to do was look at the box score to realize that Captain Hook was alive and well in Baltimore tonight. Up 5-2 in the 8th, Berken appartantly comes on to get the first out, and thats it. What law says that a relief pitcher has to come in and get one out. Let Berken finish the inning. Its quite simple. Better yet, where is David Hernandez, who was supposed to be moved to the bullpen as a power arm. C'mon Dave, I know your roster is not the best, but if you manage like that get your ass off the bench. I am actually glad this team has sucked this year, because even if they were playing well, Dave would find a way to mess it up.

Financial Wisdom

Take a break all you sports junkies.  Here's some advice:

1. Start investing the day you begin working. Plan your retirement the day you begin your career.
2. Cash is king....This old adage still holds true. If you don't have cash for an item, then you don't need it. The only exception is a home mortgage. And yes, you can pay cash for a car....and no, you don't need a $40,000 car.
3. Think it over...on all major purchases give it 24 hours before you make a decision. Remove the emotion.
4. Don't raise your standard of living everytime you get a raise. Save the extra money for the future.
5. If you have debt, pay off the smallest first and work your way up.
6. Regardless what the lender tells you, use your NET pay not your gross to figure out what you can afford.

DAAAAAAAA BEARS!

Here you go commish a little football talk that doesnt involve the draft.

I didnt mind the comments that Sayers made about the Bears. He was 100% correct and he was actually pretty kind in what he said about them. He said Cutler hasnt done a good job, he said he isnt sure if Urlacher can come back from his injuries. Sayers didnt really say anything wrong, but i can see how it offended Urlacher.

My point is why is Urlacher the bad guy for responding. Why is it ok for Sayers to talk about the Bears and how bad they are but it isnt ok for Urlacher to tell everyone what Sayers didnt win.

This is just another reason why most of the Media blows. If its ok for one person to talk bad about others, then it has to be ok for another to do the same.

I dont like Cutler or Urlacher or the Bears, but im glad someone stood up for themselves against these old retired guys who think they can say whatever they want and everyone should kneel down to them.

One last question, DA Commish vs. DA Advisor, who would win?

New, But the same

I wish to let all my fellow bloggers know that I have officially changed my Blogging name to "The Commish".  I wanted to have a cool call sign as everyone else.

Pure Comedy

Sorry fellow bloggers. I have been absent from the blog for far to long. I have to write about an incident that occured last Thursday at Carey Insurance and Financial Services that involves our beloved commish. Keep it Rollin could probably tell the story better than I can as he actually saw the "event" happen.

It all started on a bright, sun shiny afternoon. The air was crisp, the birds were chirping, and the commish was hard at work. He had an appointment show up to the office, an old lady and what seemed to be a man that could be the real life version of the 40-year old virgin. As i walked by a the commish's office, I could see that he was provided excellent service and the 40 year old virgin had a bitter look on his face. I thought nothing of it, until I hear Keep it Rollin and Billy in the hallway laughing after his appointment leaves. Not sure what all the laughter is about, I had to investigate.

The commish was meeting with the Aunt and reviewing her insurance coverages. The 40 year old virgin apparantly thought he was a know it all and could do the commish's job better than the commish could do it. The man kept interupting till, from what I hear, the commish flashed the hand to him to stop talking. After this happened, the 40 year old virgin got beer muscles and rose up out of his chair, at which point the commish was having none of it and rose up himself. Now according to Keep it Rollin, once the 40 year old virgin saw the commish rise up, he made a b-line for the door, but again the commish was having none of it and beat him to the door. This is where the details get fuzzy, but word on the street is that the commish sent him out the door with tears in his eyes and a few verbal scars.

The moral of the story, don't ever interupt the commish when he is speaking because you will not want to end up like the 40 year old virgin who flew out of Carey Insurance and Financial Services last Thursday.

Wrong side of bed.....or maybe it was the right?

OK, TOTW Golf Classic is past and now I can focus on pure basic blogging....trouble was, I had nothing to blog about!   Well, that all changed this morning.....afte, I guess, not enough sleep I woke up quite grumpy this morning. Grump enough that I clearly realized a few things bothering me lately.......you might find them petty, but we all have our nuances.

1. CHARITIES/FUNDRAISERS outside of the Georgetown Walmart:                                         What seems like a daily occurrence now has become a pain in the arse. Whether it's Girl Scouts, Salvation Army, Some Damn Softball Travel Ball Team, Black Church youth group, etc... it has become a regular thing. Just once I'd like to go shopping without someone yelling "Sir" "Sir", or some punk with a backwards hat on asking you to donate to a charity you never heard of before, nor do you even know it's for real!   You know, I wasn't the one who decided their precious little 10 year old had to play "Travel Ball" and go to some tournament 3 hours away every "F'ing" weekend from April through October. I want to tell them, "HEY, I have a child too and I work hard for my money so that I can AFFORD to send her to college, not hope that through some "pipe dream" she'll be "discovered" by some Division II college softball coach and get a free ride. 
2. CELLPHONES IN PUBLIC:                                                                                                        Yes, I have one. Yes, I'm guilty.  But I'm tired of every one thinking I want to hear there cell conversation!   And, I'm tired of all the dumbass ringtones!  Please, the next time you're in a public place and your cellphone rings, go outside or away from people to have your conversation.  I don't want to hear the gossip or bitchin.
3. FAT WOMEN IN SPORTIN "MUFFIN TOPS";                                                                         You know the kind...can't seem to realize that they don't wear a size 6 anymore, but insist on trying to wear the same pants they used to wear.  Pants that when buttoned leave the fat roll stickin over the top of the pants like a muffin does around the paper.  Please, I'm no Lorenzo Lamos, so let's all accept our bodies and wear what fits.....
4. SANDALS ON MEN:                                                                                                                    When they're not on the beach, men need to leave the sandals at home! I'll let you in on a secret... I hate gross looking feet.   I've even dated a few good looking women who come to find out had gross looking feet and I've moved on.  Can't handle it. Men...here's a clue....you have fucked up feet. And...as you get older they get worse.   Have you ever seen the guy with the yellowish looking toenails?  Or with heels so dry there crusty, chapped, and even cracking?  Ugh! Makes me want to throw up.   Also, let's face it...most men aren't as into hygene as most women. As a result, we don't get pedidures or put lotion on our tootsies,  instead a man will go into a restaurant with some sock lint hanging out of the side of his right foot big toe....
5. ESPN RADIO:                                                                                                                               I'm glad we have a local talk sports station now, but I have to admit I can only take so much in a day's time.   Is it just me or does ESPN hire all the same personalities. Or do they have a training book which turns every one into the same personality?  Colin Cowherd, Freddy Coleman, Scot VanPelt (not so much), Bob Valvano to name a few all repeat what they say, way too much.  I mean you can listen to them introduce a topic and it will take them 15 minutes to get it out!  God, I go nuts!   You've also heard me complain before about how much they go on about the NFL draft.....Well, I'll bring it up again....There's not a day that has gone by since the draft that someone on ESPN radio hasn't had a segment "breaking down" the NFL draft.  GIVE ME A BREAK!   The draft is over, NFL camps aren't open....the draft is a crap shoot for about 75% of the players drafted anyway.....please let me enjoy some baseball or golf or FIFA soccer for awhile. The fall and the NFL season will be here before we all know it.             Oh,  and by the way ESPN, Lebron James is out of the playoffs, the NBA is a bunch of over paid, non caring athletes, who don't get called for fouls if they are a "superstar"
6. AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS:                                                                                  It's not like it's a weekly tradition around my house to watch AFHV, but every once in awhile when my daughter is over we will watch it. There's not too much "family" viewing on TV so you take what you can get.  Have you ever watched it when just after showing a video of some kid hitting a whiffle ball into his dad's nuts they pan the audience and the whole audience is laughing histerically. Laughing like they're gona fall out of their seats.  I'm mean the video is humorous, but I never seen one on there which made me want to fall on the floor.  What overacting.                 Even more so, last night I'm watchin it with my daughter. We had just played 9 holes of golf together, ate dinner, and were spending some tv time before putting her to bed.   Well, they put on a video of four old fucks. 2 men and 2 women who all had to be over 65 years of age with a tall thin glass of water. Grandma puts a big heaping scoop of baking soda in the glass and it starts to bubble up. Then Grandma #2 pulls out what looks to be a ballon and puts it around the top of the glass. Well, before you could react the "balloon" fills up and expands and turns out to be a condem which once full proceeds to blow off the glass and flies away.   Wow, that was so funny Grandpa 1 and 2 almost shit in their Depends. I guess they must have had a stack of'em and since they can't get it up anymore need another use for their stash of rubbers.   I'm dumbstruck.....lucky my smart daughter doesn't say anything and the show goes on. But, I'm embarrassed and thinkin "can't I even watch this program without some kind of sex relation coming into play"!     If you're a parent you know where I'm coming from.   If you're not, you're probably thinking I'm being dumb and overreacting.  But I'm tired of our society which has come to think that we cannot try and keep our youth innocent for as long as possible.
7. LAST GRIPE...THE NEIGHBOR'S WIFE:  I got this young couple living next door. They have 2 kids and seem like a happy family.  Probably are.  I just want to scream at the wife!            She doesn't work.....the toughest part of her day is getting in the car around 7:30am to take the 2 kids to school, then around 3pm to get in the car to go pick the kids up.....Other than that she never comes outside.....never does anything around the yard while everyone else is away. Instead, sad sack daddy who works til 6 in Salisbury has to come home and fire up the lawn mower.                    Here's 1 recent incident I'd like to share.   They decided to fence in their backyard. Bought all the materials, rented an auger for digging post holes, the whole works...Hubby's gonna do the work himself, but only has the auger rented for a week.  2 Saturday's ago he's out first thing in the morning and working.  Making good progress and around 6 hours later around 2pm he's still working in the hot sun. Sweat rolling down his back, shirt soaked......around this time I had been out for an hour or so myself cutting grass, pulling weeds, etc.....   Little missy pulls in the driveway with a bathing suit on covered by a sun dress....both kids get out of the car and go happily into the house....she passes by me just as a bead of sweat was rolling down my forehead and says "ShuHHH, IT FEELS LIKE I'VE PUT IN A FULL DAY!  I'VE BEEN TO LEWES, THEN TO MILTON, TOOK THE KIDS FOR LUNCH, I'M BEAT"   I actually stood there, politely smiled and shook my head, looked at the poor SOB being shook like a cartoon character by the auger, looked back at her,  looked back at him,  pulled the chord on my mower and proceeded on......Are you really serious!    Ugh!

I'm glad to get this off my chest! I feel a ton better!   Sorry I don't have more, but now I'm getting irritated with myself....

TOTW Golf Classic in review....

It seems like a good time was had by all who participated in the 2010 TOTW Golf Classic!

Both teams did a spectacular job fighting the wind all day and given the conditions, some great golf was played.

Team Teeter Totter got off to a fast start with a 3-0 lead after 2-Man Scrambles. However, when all was said and done, Team FIGJAM prevailed by a score of 8-4.  I'm sure if played 10 times the series would be tied 5-5.

Again, I want to thank all who played and I hope all enjoyed themselves. No one should hang their head. The spirit of competition is alive and well.

Hopefully, everyone got enough to eat as well!

Here's some pics to help you re-live some exciting memories:
