The Gadfly Commences
Well, I guess I'll finally concede intellectual defeat and join the world of generic blogging. People have often complimented my previous forays into web design, so hopefully this is pleasurable to some (if not most). A few things are preoccupying my thoughts on this dreary March nite.
First off, what's the deal with the Sopranos? SPOILER WARNING. I just can't respect a show that takes two years off then dumps filler in the second episode of the season. I predicted this shitty dream sequence at the close of last week's gut-wrenching season premiere. Do the writers really think the metaphors of Tony being attached to his "business briefcase" and extramarital contemplations (only to be awaken by a must-have procedure---wink, wink, he can't divorce Carm) are clever? I should just be thankful Annette Bening didn't make another inexplicable cameo.
My Season Six predictions were as follows: A.J. would be forced into the "life" (A.J. = Tony, weaknesses and all), Chrissy would have his tragic downfall (either due to his Sonny Corleone-esque temper or his proximity to Tony's throne), Vito becomes the internal antagonist (the homosexuality and indifference towards Tony are good seeds), Phil Leotardo as the main baddie (he's still pissed about Tony B.), and Uncle Jun slips into the darkness. I know it's early, but get your ass in gear, Chase.
My bracket is officially mush. I do like my Final 4 picks (Duke, UCLA, Nova, UCONN) but losing two Elite 8 teams (KU, MSU) after the first weekend isn't going to cut it. I have UCONN over UCLA in the final. About a half dozen others do as well, so my relative gains on the field are in the shitter.
I'm so ready for baseball. I don't think I've been this excited for a season to begin since 1997. The Tribe should be contending for at worst a Wild Card spot. With Burnett hurt, the Jays are extremely vulnerable. They were already going to have some chemistry problems with the NL--->AL adjustments and their odd park. The severity of the injury is definitely being downplayed due to attendance/hype concerns. I guess if I dumped about $200 million into an investment (Burnett, Molina, Ryan, Glaus, Overbay), I wouldn't feel too guilty about deceiving consumers either.
It's Spring Break, so I'll give the frequent posting a shot. I just got done lifting. As such, I'm in more of a sports-related mode. I'll wait a few days to rant on V for Vendetta's anarchist paradoxes and the myth of the bird flu. Thanxxx for reading.
