TV

I am absolutely hooked on this big love show on HBO. If you have the opportunity to find some dvds and start with season one... go for it. No reason why I should like this show but I just can't stop watching it.
Since sports is on a little hiatus right now I am forced to find another means of entertainment. Thank you VH1. Digital crack. Whatever you do, do not watch one of their shows. You will spend the rest of the day sitting on the couch getting dumber. The stuff is impossible to turn off. Katie and I are inexpicably excited when we come from work and see the dvr loaded with various treasures such as, "Rock of Love with Brett Michaels." Or then there's "I love money." Can't forget about the ingenius "Tool Academy." They all pretty much run under the same theme. Find a group of the world's most undeservedly narcissistic people... then force them to make complete fools out of themselves in front of a national audience. What intrigues me the most about these guys is the fact that they just don't get it. I honestly believe they feel they're accomplishing something by being on these shows. Like some form of celebrity. Why be famous if you're only famous for being that incredible loser on VH1? Yet like I said, I just have to watch.
Then there's the rest of TV. The Office is still good but not as great as it used to be. The whole adorable Jim and Pam saga is making me sick. No one is that perfect. 30 rock is sometimes watchable. Otherwise what's left? Oh, I forgot... only the best show on television -- America's Funniest Home Videos. You have to be a fricken dvr guide expert to find out what times they're actually going to air new episodes. If you're a true fan you can record about 6 a day off of wgn and abcfamily.
So that's what has been occupying my time until baseball season starts. Then it's a ball game every night... and I annoy my wife and employers for the entire season with my unbelieveable devotion to seeing every minute of every game. GO BREWERS!

Congratulations to Myself

I got promoted last week to a server management position. Small increase in pay, huge increase in hours. The highlight of this promotion is going to be the free education in the art of owning a successful restaurant. The owners have agreed to work with me and show me how the business is run from the office... Seeing how everyone knows it is Katie and my dream to eventually own and operate a restaurant we see this as an incredible opportunity to start moving towards our goals. I've said it many times, I truly believe we work for the best restaurant in Milwaukee. There's no one else we'd rather learn from. So congratulations Dan, you're awesome.

Brewers and Steroids

Thank god baseball is starting up again. I do have to say the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal's coverage of spring training is fantastic. Jsonline.com is the first website I go to every morning. So here are the updates. Brewers sign $uppan's clone. Gagne's back. Capuano's rehabing and Gallardo and Gagne are going to skip that World baseball classic thing. None of these updates are exciting enough for me to have an opinion about yet I find myself sitting here for 20 minutes reading what 200 Brewer bloggers have to say. Baseball is the best sport ever. Nothing can even come close.
Then there's A-Roid. This thing is getting absolutely hilarious. Everyone gets all excited for the big A-roid press conferance and the pansy gets up there and cries. Blaming youth and one evil evil cousin. Complete coward. He kept whining about how rough it is to be in the big leagues so young and have to grow up so fast. Shut up you loser. The guy was like 26 when he tested positive for the roids. The best part about this is Jose Canseco. Everything the guy said has been proven true. I find it funny because everyone wants to hate him so much but he just ends up being right. About everything. Here's a list of my top 5 steroid moments.

5) Barry Bonds gets busted. I kind of like Barry Bonds. He is what he is. The most selfish asshole in sports. Even after he steals the McGuire roid record of single season homeruns he decides to give america the finger. He hangs around until he takes the most important record in all of sports -- the Hank Aaron homerun title. Since in America someone is considered innocent until proven guilty... he made us celebrate it. How about that Hank Aaron hostage video. That looked real sincere. The guy's head and feet grow at 40. His power numbers explode when all players in all sports are supposed to decline. Goes from a speedy lead-off type to a monster longballer. AT 40! But there's no proof. If you think he cheated, you're racist.

4) Sammy Sosa can't speak english anymore.

3) Palmeiro's emphatic denial of steroids. The guy points into the camera practically screaming his innocense... Then is the first moron to be busted during the random testing. What an idiot.

2) Roger Clemmens. No one could of handled this worse. The guy took everyone down with him. He gets to capitol hill and what's his defense? I got the HGH for my wife. Then you have to see the woman just sit back there and eat it. Then he stumbles around 2 hours of questioning. Who did he think he was convincing? He looked like an absolute fool.

1) A-Roid. He's number one because this one is far from over. I guarentee this story explodes before the start of the baseball season.

The onion has had great material on this. These are by far the best two articles.

Anonymous guy lays into Brewcity Dan

I got some anonymous dude laying into me about the brewers right now. Check out the comments in the state of the brewers. This guy's intense. I appreciate the enthusiasm. If only I could get any of my other 5 readers to post their thoughts on this site I could be a big deal! Guy knows his baseball and takes the time to write a page of numbers that anyone with a normal attention span would ignore. I enjoyed our battle anonymous dude, I hope it continues with later posts.

I just switched from Time Warner to ATT Uverse. Absolutely love ATT. I got some package that gives me every fsn network from around the country. Baseball season is going to be incredible.

In other news A-Rod did steroids. Man NY has a lot of money invested in that pile of !@#%. Enjoy this year New York. You spent to much and will fail yet again. I love this now salary cap thing. I don't get why others don't. I've said it so many times. It's absolutely hilarious to watch teams spend so much and accomplish so little. Buying free agents isn't the way to build baseball teams. There's only a handfull of baseball clubs who still buy into the big spending philosophy and they're going to continue to get burned. I enjoy their failures almost as much as I enjoy our success. Come on, the cubs getting swept in 3 games after arguably their best regular season ever? This was their year! nope... I say let them spend and let them fail. Enjoy A-Roid for the next 10 years. HA get it? A- ROID! I better trademark that one. GO BREWERS!

BUSTED! loser

Real Chili Hangover

How come my two favorite spots in Milwaukee are also the two only spots capable of creating the "food hangover." Had real chili late after work last night and I feel like I may as well of tried to digest a bottle of pepper infused mineral oil. Total digestive failure. I'll live. Just need a prilosec and an immodium and I'll be destroying that meatball sandwich I got in the fridge in no time.
Three people said the brewers suck on my poll. Tell me why. I need to talk sports with people. The only guy I work with who knows anything about sports is a complete ass who gets angry when people speak to him. All I got is the 15 minutes driving to and from the gym with Suesskind. Speaking of Suesskind, he doesn't want to go to the gym right now. He's citing digestive failures. If I'm willing to make this trip he has to too. He's not getting out of this that easily. I'm calling him now. DUKE PRIDE!
