Yesterday Sucked

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad DayDo you know the book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? It is a kid's book. The title tells it all.

First of all, I get a flat tire on my way to help a guy move. My spare was flat too. Yeah, my fault. So I park my car, grabbed a taxi, get my spare fixed, and help my friend. Popped on the subway back to my car. I was parked too long when I got back there. Got two tickets.

Helping the guy move. That's cool, but all day up and down stairs carrying boxes. Man, I'm not as young as I was. My back hurts, my arms are sore, and my left calf thinks it needs a massage. My calf is wrong. My whole body needs a massage.

Meanwhile, never talk baseball. Damn, I love baseball. I watch every game I can. I played a lot when I was little, and love tossing it around now. So I talk a little ball with my friend in Detroit. A few e-mails and he gives me shit for asking about Justin Verlander. I grew up in Detroit. Love the Tigers. I like the Yankees too. Verlander is a helluva player. Two no-nos. Throws the ball faster than a jet. I wish NY had him. We don't.

Anyway, so we talk about Verlander, and I ask my buddy if he thinks he compares to Nolan Ryan. Ballistic. Come on, Ryan's on anyone stud list for pitching fastballs. Seven non-nos.

So I get shit from him asking about it. "Ryan never won a Cy Young. You are ignorant."

Like hell I am ignorant. I knew damn well Ryan never Cy Younged. He never tossed a perfect game either. But he went off on me.

And the taxi driver gets pissed off because I asked him if he could take a different route. A guy on the subway all but loses it when I ask him to move so I could sit down.

The worst thing about it, I got a holy roller guy I know who knows the guy I helped move. What does he tell me? Pray about it. I didn't see him helping the guy move or giving me a ride when I had a flat tire. Wanker.

Some people are bastards you know?

Merry Christmas To All the Bastards, Christians and You

Image
I've said it before. I do not understand why people say Merry Christmas. When most of the Christians I see are about who they hate, I cannot tell why the hell they became Christians. New York is full of all that. We aren't all pansified nicey nice people, but hate is hate. You know the crowd, "Shoot them first, then let God sort them out." This bullshit bumper sticker religion is not what I'm gonna hear tonight when my buddy Leonard drags my ass to his church. We will sing, lalala, then we'll hit a pub and he will bitch about how awful those damn Muslims, Hindus, atheists and Boston Red Sox fans are. I don't give a damn if he disagrees with them, and I totally agree with him about the BoSox, but what game is he playing? Here's a guy I am glad doesn't own a gun. Good guy in every other way, but he is a bastard when it comes to people he doesn't like. I like Christmas carols. I like the Salvation Army Santas. I like people stepping up and vol...

People Cry About Themselves Too Much

There aren't enough men on this planet. No balls. I think men have been emasculated by the women. The women took the men's balls and ground them up into powder. No, no. That's not right. The men snipped them off themselves. What? Right. Exactly what I said. I look at my buddies. Besides being wankers who want to hit the pub every night to look at girls they never ask out, I see them moaning about everything. Yeah, I harp on the whiners too much. I think these guys, who claim to be conservatives, are really yellow-bellied liberals. Little bitches. They love to bitch about life and politics, but go home and wank instead of taking action.

Bah Humbug - Why People Who Believe in Jesus Aren't Worth a Pinch of Salt

I had one person respond here all in a pissy fit that I have no time for religion. Religion is fine. I don't care. It is part of America's freedom, and I'm the last guy to want to take that away from you. But let me tell you, I groan when I hear or read someone upset that I think holy rollers have it wrong. I'll lay it out for you. There are a few kinds of holy rollers. I'm not talking denominations and whatever. That's an entirely different something. I'm talking personality types. All but one do not have my respect. See the last category. Some cram what they believe down your throat. Every conversation has an agenda. Why don't you just join Amway? I'm not talking about the guy with the bullhorn the cops keep chasing out of Times Square. I'm talking about people I know. They don't want me to be their friend. They want me to be their little project. Get bent.   Some say they believe xyz and then live abc. Forget that noise. You don'...
