Brett Favre Redux . . Or . .We Know What He Did This Summer

contributed by Marco

Congress skips town on a five week snooze? Fuck it, catch some Brett. Former government researcher offs himself with three shots to the head? Fuck it, catch some Brett. China firing anti-smog (err, mist) pellets into the air? Fuck it, catch some Brett. Pelosi and Obama flip on drilling? Fuck it, catch some Brett. Stocks rise and oil drops (or is it the other way around?) Fuck it, catch some Brett.

On Sunday night, there were cameras trained on a Wisconsin runway so the sports pubes could bring us Brett's arrival in Cheese Town. Sorry guys, but the only time I care to watch footage of Brett Favre's private charter is when it's not landing on a runway.

I don't give a shit about Brett Favre's five hour meeting with coach. No, wait a minute . . . I lie. I do care about that. Five hours? Really? I mean, if they napped away four and a half hours of that time, it would still be a mind boggling thirty minutes worth of conversation. Did Brett Favre even attend thirty minutes worth of classes at Southern Miss?

There is a better chance FOX News airs film of Dick Cheney taking out Kennedy in Dealey Plaza than there is of getting the minutes of that five hour meeting.

To guess perchance to dream . . .

Some of those missing hours MUST have included . . . Madden '09, beer pong, fart grading, UFC, KFC, Pope jokes, Superhero debates such as “Superman beats Spiderman, Bat Man beats mom”, Guitar Hero, Seinfeld . . .

Wrangler boy feels unappreciated? Suck it Brett. He wants to play again? Suck it Brett. He wants a chance to compete? Suck it Brett. He won't take the cheesy parachute the cojone-less Green Bay owners (all six and a half million of them) threw out for him in the form of 20 million dollars to stay retired? Suck it Brett.

See, he can take the money to SAY he's retired. He just can't take the money to STAY retired. And staying retired really is the key to being retired. Which he said he was . . . before pulling a Sugar Ray Leonard et al.

So Brett talks Tampa and getting back out there and if anyone outside of Green Bay really gives a shit about this, go get your head examined, with a sledgehammer.

Green Bay moved on and Brett is hurt by this. Good. Because this whole prima donna ballerina act he is force feeding on us doesn't wash. He believes he's bigger than the team, the sport. Despite the fact he didn't get it done at home against the Giants last January when it counted most. If he truly was a team first guy, maybe he should've informed his old bosses that he was experiencing a change of heart before they plucked two QB's from the draft; you know, they might've used those picks for other needs. Just a thought.

The Great Vacillator is disillusioned. How dare the Packers attempt to live a life without him. Well Brett, once upon a time, the Bulls told Michael Jordan not to let the door hit him on the way out. If Jordan can be asked to leave, I'm pretty sure Mr. Cheese can be asked. Nicely or not.

Go Bears.

should I stay or should I go . . .

banillabean — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:14:57 +0000

is the question that is resonating in my mind today...

Should I leave.. to where would I go ? to what would I go? Why would I go? Why should I stay? What is here for me? What would I be leaving? The snow, the weather?

What will I do here if I stay? Will I stay in this house? Will I sell the house? Where would I move to and why would I move?

My friends--whom can I call 'friend"? whom can I call to meet me for coffee at the drop of a hat? are they here? no? where are they?

I know that I cannot go back to my single -- as in before marriage-- days... those are gone. This is a new chapter of my life... the 'to be continued' part of my life. I find myself in a funny bracket... no husband to tag-along with anymore. . Couples won't be coming over as they once did because Rudy Raul is no longer here with me. Though they continue to call, I very much doubt that his single men friends will be stopping by much anymore..

I still feel like I am new to Idaho. After almost 14 years I still have few friends here..When I feel like talking to a friend there really is no one here that I can turn to. Never really has been.

Not too long ago I read that Grieving takes a lot more time than any one of us has the patience for.. Me? I have no choice but to hang in there.. others? they don't have to. They don't have to hang in there with me.. they can and have gone on with their lives and whom can anyone blame? not a one.

It is nigh on 4 months since Rudy's death. How time passes.

After all these thoughts, I am thinking that I am feeling a little peeved at the upset of my life right now. I am going to have to make decisions on my own and I don't think I really enjoy that thought. I trusted Rudy in those big decisions -- we'd make them together but I'd listen to him. I trusted him.

Early on, I had told myself and those who have asked, that I would stay here in Idaho for at least one year -- no decisions until at least one year passes. No great life decisions will be made by myself before that time.

Sometimes I think that God brought me here for the sole purpose of loving and caring for Rudy Raul.. outside of him, what was I doing here? and now?

What does God have planned for my life? when he decides to let me know or he gives me a nudge -- will I know it for what it is?

should I stay or should I go...

Although I am really excited to be blogging here in this new place, I'm still a little gun shy, so you will all have to bare with me as I get comfortable again. I'm not sure if I want to post pictures. No wait, I do want to post pictures, I'm just not sure that I'm ready to do that yet, so for those of you waiting for a new Friday Foto, one will come to your e-mail shortly!

So much has gone on lately, and there is so much going through my mind, but again, I'm stil just trying to get to the point that I feel safe to talk about it again. I know that none of my family or even friends I've met face to face know about this site, but still, it's hard.

I feel torn in so many different directions, by so many different people and I don't know which way to turn. Right now I'm just turning in, looking into myself and trying to find out what is best for me, best for my son, and best for my family, the three of us are my main priority right now.

I feel torn to where I want to be, I wonder if moving here was the right decision? Maybe it was the right decision at the time, but I am no longer sure that it is the right decision now. So what do I do? Do we stay, stick it out and try to make it work, or do we move, maybe back home, maybe somewhere completely different? I know right now I'm too emotional to make a decision about this, but I also know that I need to think about it, and talk about it, and look into our options. Because just burring my head in the sand and NOT thinking about, that in itself is making a decision, and I don't want to just sit back and let life happen, I want to be in control (or as much as I can) of my life and where it goes from here.

Going back to work? My maternity leave is done in another month. The plan was for me to stay home and get paid through East's work, but now that isn't something I'm comfortable with anymore. I'm not looking forward to the phone call saying that I no longer accept that offer. I think I will make that call on Monday, might as well get that over with rather then sit and worry about it for another month.

So now what do I do for work? A friend of mine works from home as a part of a larger company, which is something that interests me, and I think I will look into that. As long as I can bring in what I'm bringing in now on Maternity leave, we should be fine. So what's the harm in trying? At least if I try this, I will be able to be home with Van. If this doesn't work out, then I will have to look around and see if there is some part time work available.

Work and moving are two topics that are intertwined though. Because I know that if I want a job in my field of Study (I have a BSc.) then I would have a better chance of that both back home, or really anywhere but here! lol Also, moving back home would allow me to be a substitute teacher, which is something I would really enjoy. Subbing would allow me to still have some time off with Van, but would give me an income. It would also allow me to have summer and Christmas vacation at the same time as him, so I don't have to get a babysitter for him during those times. Back home would also allow me to go back to school and get the degree I wanted to get in the first place, but didn't because of moving out here.

To be honest there are so many reasons to go, and very few to stay. But I want to wait and make sure that my reasons for going and reasons for staying are legitimate reasons and not ones made on the many emotions I'm feeling right now.

I'm just so sick of hurting. I have been hurt more then I can describe by so many people, and I don't want to hurt anymore. I don't know if moving would cause more hurt, or would moving cause less hurt or should the amount that I am hurting even factor into the equation?

See, torn.

My mind is going in so many different directions, I'm sure you can tell by the way this post is jumping around from place to place and thought to thought. Hopefully soon I will be able to settle in and things will start to level out and I will be able to figure out what to do. But now, I'm torn.

London Calling The Clash at phone

manuelingdl — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 02:52:30 +0000

Vamos a completar hoy la trilogía de bandas que iniciaron el movimiento punk a mediados de los 70's, the clash, quien al contrario del nihilismo de los pistols o la sencillez de los ramones supieron manejar varios estilos musicales impregnando siempre sus letras con un alto contenido político. La banda estuvo activa durante 20 años(1976-1986) y dejaron un legado musical muy bueno del que solo podemos escoger tres canciones como es costumbre.

London Calling

Canción que le da nombre a el mejor disco de la banda según mi gusto personal y el de los que saben de música, London Calling fue ubicado en el numero 8 de los mejores 500 albums de rock de la historia en la lista que publicara Rolling Stone. Durante la guerra al dar los reportes en televisión en el reino unido, siempre empezaban con la frase London Calling, de ahí el titulo de la siguiente canción

Spanish Bombs

Otra rolita del london calling la incluyo porque me gusta muchísimo, hace años escuche un cover de Tijuana No antes de escuchar la versión original que me impacto sobremanera, fue entonces cuando conocí la afición de the clash por incluir palabras en español en sus canciones así como su simpatía con el movimiento sandinista

Should I stay or should i go

La verdadera canción mundialmente conocida de the clash, la canción que casi todo el mundo ha oido, incluida en el album combat rock se convirtió en un éxito seis años después de su creación al ser parte de un comercial de Levi's, debo irme o quedarme era la pregunta del guitarrista que después fue expulsado de la banda.

¿The Clash es un grupo sobrevalorado?

rocks — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 23:12:04 +0000

Me doy una vuelta por la Plazoleta y entre los títulos de los post encuentro el que da título a esta entrada. Lo publica un tío que entiende, SanFreeBird, y lo defiende así:

"Pregunta polémica donde las hay que traerá cola...
Después de ver el film de Temple sobre Joe Strummer, me pregunto, es ¿The Clash un grupo sobrevalorado? 1, 2, 3 responda otra vez.
A cualquier talibán del grupo, le digo que omita cualquier insulto sobre mi persona. Nótese que no me he pronunciado ni aquí ni en el blog".

Entre guasa ("Sereis cabrones, no pongais porno en post 'serios'. Que lo estaba leyendo en la universidad", BlasFree) y gilipolleces (Pendejo: "es el típico grupete"), mi amigo Eloy, sentencia con acierto: "Para mi no hay debate. Es una de las mejores bandas de la Historia. Musicalmente, por imagen y actitud (equivocada o no, contradictoria o no, pero ACTITUD)".

Y no puedo resistirme y me lanzo a escribir: Llevo un tiempo casi sin pasarme por aquí y en cuanto lo hago casi me caigo de culo con semejante post y, en especial, con la mayoría de comentarios. ¿Sois de la generación Logse? ¿The Clash sobrevalorados? ¿que si la última época es mala? ¿que si sólo he escuchado London Calling y no me dice nada? Menos mal que Eloy, Maniac, Djalma y algunos más saben defender con pocas palabras a los Clash (parece mentira, pero en un cálculo rápido, el resultado de una votación en este post daria un 50-50% aprox.). 10 razones para meter a The Clash en el altar (y ojo, no están en mi top5 de bandas, pero los adoro):

1. Janie Jones

2. Joe Strummer
3. London Calling
4. La portada de London Calling

5. Mick Jones antes de haberselo fumado todo y liarse la manta a la cabeza con el engendro de B.A.D.
6. Safe European Home

7. Train in Vain

8. Should I stay or Should I go

9. Su actitud
10. Su imagen

American Idol Butcher Clash Song

Patrick Prince — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 02:55:52 +0000

In a Ford sponsored music video (Ford Music Video Challenge), the remaining American Idol contestants teamed up to do a rendition of "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash. It wasn't even in the so-bad-it's good genre. Merely horrendous. Giddy and schlocky, they quickly kill a classic rock song. Too bad they were given the legal rights to use the song. Check it out at your own risk. Brutal.

moooooom, i wanna move.

emrlds — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 18:27:22 +0000

ok seriously, craigslist and i need to take a break. i have been googling and searching for all things coolidge corner. (fellow boston kids, this is where you tell me, "yes! move there!") i love coolidge. seriously, love. and i really would like to move. to a place with some space. some sunlight. some life.

but do i want to move and have roommates again? this is the only concern. do i REALLY want to take a step back and do that? things that would be good - new people (um hi, i'd like new friends. i love mine, but newbies? a good decision.), someone to split the bills with, a place to go after work that is further than a block. really, i think it'd be good. but there would be roommates. roommates don't like when i leave dishes in the sink (note, i'm a better roommate to others than myself. that whole two week, no dishes thing? wouldn't happen.). i feel like i need something new. a new space. a new plan.

remember when i wanted to give myself a schedule? i didn't. and now i could. i'd be back to commuting though. i guess that isn't a huge issue. trains almost always run. i'd get up earlier in the morning. which, um, i need to do. i could have coffee at that cute coffee shop on my way to work in the morning instead of blowing 6 bucks at starbucks. i could walk down the street to trader joes. ugh, so much would be wonderful.

but roommates? roommates after 2 years scare me. and packing. ugh packing.

Tough job market ahead? Get your head out of the sand.

firedupcareers — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 16:14:14 +0000

No need to panic, yet. The news isn't bad, but it suggests that the job market is cooling off. Job growth last month was weaker than expected, the stock market is in turmoil, interest rates on corporate debt is climbing, the housing/mortgage bubble is deflating, oil prices are skittish...all suggesting that you get your head out of the sand and take a realistic look at your career and your current environment. High unemployment rates, layoffs, and long job searches are still fresh in the minds of many, and learning from the last job market slowdown can help the health of your career today. Whether or not an uptick in unemployement numbers is in our near future.

What should you be doing, now?

1. Everyone is vulnerable. Define your value connection.

2. Hard work and doing a great job are not enough. Build positive visibility.

3. It's what you know AND who you know. Work on relationships and networks.

4. Getting caught off guard leads to reactive behavior. Be ready for a move at anytime.

I'll go into more detail on these in my next postings. Meanwhile, think intelligent action. Know yourself really well, constantly scan your environment, and take action everyday on those things you have control over in your career. You can do it.

Pekín

Edi — Sun, 20 May 2007 17:27:01 +0000

Nos hemos pasado la semana digiriéndolo. Siempre queda un rayito de esperanza, pero hablé el miércoles con John por teléfono y no creo que pueda hacer mucho por repescarnos.

La buena noticia de la semana es que nos han confirmado que al final sí que nos vamos a Pekín para Test Events durante todo el mes de Agosto. Algo es algo.

Nos quedamos

Edi — Mon, 14 May 2007 07:22:29 +0000

Se acabaron las negociaciones. No ha habido acuerdo, así que después de un mes y medio de incertidumbres sobre nuestro futuro, nos quedamos en casa. Ha sido un palo muy grande, pero la verdad es que hacíamos números y las condiciones no eran rentables.

El viernes le enviamos un mail a Peter y a John, agradeciéndoles la confianza que pusieron en nosotros al venirnos a buscar.

Ha sido un fin de semana triste.

Volver a empezar

Edi — Sat, 05 May 2007 13:36:07 +0000

Ha pasado una semana y seguimos como antes. Tenemos que volver a empezar la negociación casi desde el principio ya que ahora sí se pueden negociar algunas cosas que la semana pasada no se podían negociar. Así que a volver a hacer números y a volver a plantearse si nos vamos o no.

Con lo cerca que parecía todo...
