Greetings,
This is the briefest of messages, just had to post the video though, couldn't help myself considering I always remember it. In the following video it will show you the proper way to charge the mound, which is you need to make sure no one can tackle you from behind. So without furthur ado, for all you baseball brawlers, who just need to get out from beside the plate and hit that dirt hill so that you can take a lousy swing at the pitcher and probobly miss. Let's face it, baseball players can't fight.

Thunked Notes 1.2
Just a quickie here, and no not the kind of quickie anyone is thinking about, yes I know you all thought it was an ESPN report... sorry my mind didn't go that far down the gutter like some would have hoped it would have with that word.
Firstly, off to Kingston to enjoy to solitude of a house, maybe i'll have internet connection, than again maybe not. Either or shall be an interesting night, as per the norm I'm a slave for going down with friends. I really got to stop writing everything can take on a sexual meaning today.
In other news I'm glad tight pants boy, errr Nadal lost in tennis, made me worry less about the spanish people, I would have felt better though if someone had mixed in a Portugal's Spain comment in the broadcast, or Canada's Oregon, or something along those lines, maybe even a Ottawa's Kingston... yes that's right the queen picked us, get over the fact that you didn't become the big town Kingston... just enjoy the king in your name, you swine.
Football is coming up, and every Bengal's player is trying to make the team by getting put in jail for the best reason, but never fear until Maurice Clarrett makes the team anyone has a chance to win.
Baseball, it's baseball I continue to forget about it. Now off again I go to lalaland to enjoy a little trip.
Regards

Thunked Notes 1.1
Plain and simple, sometimes I come out with random words to use as a catch phrase, other times I just am plain stupid and come up with a term that really probobly won't work or catch on at all, but well it just sounds funny. So here comes the thunked notes version. My new way of spurting off random ideas on different subjects, so that it comes and hits you straight in the noggin.
Firstly because I am not French it is time for me to way in on that wonderful contreversy known as the tour the france, plain and simple Floyd Landis cheated, and did a hell of a job doing it. But I'm not going to say he should be disqualified, actually in fact I'm going to applaud the man, I congratulate him for trying to cheat, but shame on him for getting caught. Let's be honest if we really wanted to make sports easier we should just let everyone cheat. This way we don't have to worry about every athlete cheating, as it will be the ones that can cheat the best will win. Yes this could have an impact on the younger generations, yes the health affects are negative, but if you are that driven to win for short term glory and an early passing, well it's your choice, go for it. So realistically, I wish Dick Pound would shut up for once, that more people would cheat and get caught, and that everyone would give up on how bad steroids are for you, if you want to fix something, how about you start with banning fast food, that will have more of an impact on health than that of steroids.
Reminder to the Iberian Penisula, when fighting forest fires, make sure to use enough water to stop a blaze, if blaze is 20 feet high, make sure to have an escape plan, and a car that can go faster than the wind is blowing the flames. Just some helpful knowledge to all those brothers fighting fires in Portugal (I gurantee you some arson set them because Portugal lost)
Harry Sinden, aka the bastard who hasn't won a cup for the Bruins in 30 years. Okay so I like the man somewhat, he hasn't been that bad, just in the last 5 to 10 years I've come to question some of his moves, I think the mind just started to go blank there. But then again he did bring us Neely for nothing, and well we did win a couple of stanley cups with him around. I just think it was time for him to move on, and you can tell he didn't want to, but it was either resign, or get fired, and well resigning just looks so much better in the public eye. So thanks for the service Harry, but also thank goodness you are gone. Next up a new owner for the Bruins, instead of the Fire Millen campaign I now direct you to the Fire Jacobs campaign.
On a side note of the last comment, will the Bruins be giving out bobbleheads of Jeremy Jacobs on opening night to create a riot. Sort of like the stanley cup did last year, when 50% of them ended up on the ice to end the game. Just a strategic move Jacobs to see your popularity.
Next up, what does Heather Mills (formely McCartney) and Ben Roethlisberger have in common... simple they have both been in accidents involving motorcycles. Ben messed up his grill and probobly the Steelers chances to repeat this year and Heather lost a leg. Now they do have differences, Ben was the moron riding the motorcycle, and Heather was the moron who didn't hear the siren on the police motorcycle that hit her. Really I just had to put that out there so you could all see that my mind works in different ways, not always the proper way.
Now to baseball for a quick second.... Blue Jays are sucking.
Moving on from baseball, told you it was a quick second.
Soccer also known a football, time for the leagues to start up shortly, and time for me to get on PSV jersey and hope for a good year of glory, hell I'll cheer on any dutch team in the Champions league, and pray that Juventus continues to suck for 3 years after that cheating scandal... again cheating is only good when you don't get caught.
That's all for today's version on thunked, I would like to thank all those who read the coloumn, the more you post the more it inspires me to write.
Regards
P.S. Jose I know you are going off to fight forest fires in Portugal, make sure to save the farm, and grab some roast beef... and yes I'm still expecting you to call soon.

Zidane headbutt an art form?
Greetings my always happy to hear from me friends.
Well after a hiatus on a 2 day camping trip, which I might add was quite relaxing, let me tell you, the whole no moving thing and lying in a hammock all day long reading a book was probobly the most needed thing ever... I may buy a hammock and put in in my backyard, and just swing from it all day long, or atleast that's what I would like to do.
But enough about my life, i'll post a couple of camping pictures and move on with my life back to the sporting world... well this time the art world. By now everyone has seen the Zidane headbutt, it has become more popular that the song who let the dogs out was 4 years ago. *Yes I still replay the headbutt, it cracks me up*. But now it has become an art form, a musical art form. So without furthur ado, I have to lead you to the song that was made just for Zidane's headbut. It's called coup de boule and was writing by three associates of La Plage Records, a small label specializing in jingles and sound effects. Coup de Boule, in french means head butt in english, just to make sure you all get your daily dose of translations provided by myself. But yes it's quite a catch reggae inspired tune. I know I'll probobly play it over and over again for the next week or so. But without furthur ado. Here it is, in all it's glory.

Dissapeared, never a good thing
Greetings fellow blog mates,
So yes I dissapeared for quite a while, okay clearly I blame the world cup and my team being out and not allowing me to gloat, but it's a silly excuse, and well won't be used anymore. So why wasn't I around, maybe because my creative writing took a nose dive faster than the New York Islanders chances of winning the stanley cup anytime soon... seriously Garth Snow... you got to be freaking kidding me, but they aren't, and in the end I blame Mad Mike for somehow messing up the Islanders some more. Reminder goalies don't make good GM's, they take way too many shots to the head.
Anyways, i myself am getting my quota of sun each day, probobly over the quota and will get skin cancer in a few years and hate the fact I was a lifeguard... maybe I should add the fact I'll probobly get cataracts and just about any other sun problem one can have, then again maybe not, and that's all for the better. Yes i do wear my sunscreen each day, but when one is in the sun for 5 hours with no stoppage to hit the shade and hide from the sun, one is going to take in alot of wonderful UV rays.
Ah well atleast I have the wonderful racoon eyes.
I would also like to comment that John Slamons is a gigantic moron, firstly for not wanting to go to the Suns and enjoy the run and gun offense, and then not wanting to go to Phoenix North aka Raptors and playing the same sort of game. Could someone tell me what he wishes to do as he has no contract as of right now and well no one is going to offer him any big money, or maybe money doesn't matter and family matters, I'm sure it does Mr. James, errr wait you didn't end up in Houston like you wanted too, hmmmm so it sure isn't family. But yes athletes, espeically in the NBA make me laugh, they think they can ask where to go, and think that team will accept them, sure some of the star players could get away with this, but when your names are Mike James and John Salmons you should just be freaking happy you still have an NBA contract and a wealthy one at that for your play. But then again, what do I know about the culture of the NBA, probobly nothing, only read a book on it, and did my own studying for classes. So alas I'll just shut up before I dig myself a whole I won't get out of.
Reminder to F1, as much as I love watching it, you guys still suck, and haven't been able to change it for 10 plus years, ever since Senna's death has that sport gone nowhere, you ask why, well it's pretty simple, firstly the cars still don't pass each other very often, which I hate to say makes the sport, you have made pitstops mostly ineffective as everyone can do it, you have also cut any dynamic out of the races but the obscene budget some teams are on. Put a budget on how much teams are allowed to research, you are killing the sport, you need more teams to compete so that more people will watch and rather than kill your sport you can grow it. Sure you went into the Asian and Middle East market, but that's not growing your sport in the core market, which is Europe.
Anyways that was a quick post, more on everything shortly... I really really really promise.

How to soccer commentate
Just a quick note for the ESPN coverage of how to commentate a soccer game, remember you need to show a bit of passion, and also you need to yell and scream, instead of being some stiff in a suit who has no idea what they are talking about, that's right I'm looking at you Balboa. And for entertainment purposes if you can mix in a you're with me leather comment then I will never make fun of you ever again. Now in case you didn't know how to do that, watch the following video from 1998, and listen to the passion.
