I went to Turner Field this past Sunday to see your hometown Boston Red Sox take on the visiting no-name Atlanta Braves. It was almost comical how saturated the crowd was with cliche Boston t-shirts and hats. Paired with this apparel was, of course, annoying accents, faded jean shorts, flat brimmed off-kilter hats, white k-swiss sneakers, and axe body spray. Now, I'm no geography professor or even one of the Hardy Boys, but I'm pretty sure a good percentage of these Sohx fans are just lame posers. Boston is a big city, but its not as big as say an Atlanta. Yeah, the Red Sox have been around a while, but none of these trend jockeys were alive before the Braves existed. Hell, the Braves even played in Boston for a time (1870-1953), so why all the Red Sox love?
I don't really want to get into the details of why young people today are brainwashed and stupid. But where is the hometown loyalty? Srsly.
Next topic; David Ortiz is a dork. All Boston fans, or bandwagoners, love this guy. It's obvious why the love him, he helped to complete the biggest comeback in MLB playoff history over the Yankees. Other than that, he had a few good seasons where he hit a bunch of homeruns and doubles. Off the field, Ortiz has a very friendly, happy go lucky attitude which everybody loves. It's the Boston fan's rose colored glasses that prevent them from seeing what is really going on with Senor Ortiz. These are the same fans that love JD Drew because he hit one homerun in the playoffs. But back to Ortiz. When did Ortiz have his best seasons? Answer: 2003 to 2007. This was the same time when Manny was crushing the ball in Boston. You know, the Manny that got busted for PEDs a couple months ago. Now do you think its just a coincidence that when Ortiz got to Boston, he had his first 30 HR season? Boston fans will tell you that Ortiz's secret handshake with Manny was what gave him the power to hit all of those HRs. Pretty awesome handshake there. Now that Manny is gone, so is Ortiz's slugging percentage. Big Papi has now turned into Medium Papi, or Slightly Husky Papi.
It kind of sucks for Ortiz because his decline in production with the enforcement of baseball's drug policy came after people like Bonds, Clemmens, Palmeiro, and Sosa were all outed. If he were the first guy to get caught with steroids it would have put a much better face on the steroids era. I mean, everybody loves Papi, and everybody loved when the juicers were crushing the ball. The Steroids Era just needed a lovable, snugly face associated with it. Too bad Papi was a couple years late. :(

Michael Jackson
Crazy news yesterday that Michael Jackson passed away. I think this pretty much caught everybody by surprise because even though he had seemed sick or whatever for the past couple years, we didn't think he would die like this. Anyway, it really sucks because I would have loved to go to one of his concerts. I remember when I was young listening to his music and trying to dance like him. I still try to dance like him, but I suck.
It will be interesting to see how people remember him over the next several years. Will people remember the goofy guy that looked like a Halloween costume running around with masks and umbrellas? Or do you think people will remember the cat that ruled the world by spinning, hee-hee-ing, and grablin his junk? Most likely it will be a combination of the two. I know that when I get in my car and an MJ song comes on, I always listen to it. I love to sing along with all of his songs and drum on my steering wheel. His songs really had, and still have, a knack for making the listener feel good and making them smile.
I cant say that I regret not going to one of his concerts because I really wasn't old enough to go while he was in his touring prime, but I have to believe it would be an awesome experience. I have seen several of his concerts on TV and the way he dresses along with his set, back up dancers, and songs that EVERYBODY knows would have to make an unforgettable concert experience.
It's kind of sad that this guy, who was probably the best entertainer the world has seen, had such a troubled personal life. I know there were issues with his father pushing him and treating him more like an employee than a son. Also, it's somewhat ironic that somebody who could perform better than anybody infront of hundreds of thousands at a time be so shy and reclusive. But I guess that's what made him Michael Jackson. The mystery behind some of the worlds biggest stars is probably what makes them the worlds biggest stars. Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Michael Jackson. All weird in their own way, all huge mega world stars.
It's always sad to see somebody go. Hopefully people will remember the Michael Jackson of Beat It, Thriller, Man in the Mirror, PYT, Bad, Smooth Criminal, Black and White, Human Nature, Dangerous, Billy Jean, Heal the World, Will You Be There, Remember the Time, and so on.....
This one's for you Michael:
"aHEee HEEeee!!!!11!"

Congratulations Cameron!!!11!
So as you probably all know, Cameron Diaz was recently awarded a star on the uber prestigious Hollywood walk of fame. Her name is now along side other greats such as Sonny and Cher, Martin Scorsese, Queen and Ryan Seacrest. Yeah, she is that good.
Not to say that Cameron Diaz doesn't deserve to be amongst the gods of entertainment, but what has she actually done? Let's take a look at her resume' and count down the top Cameron Diaz roles.
1. There's Something about Mary - awesome, no debate here
2. Shrek - great movie, but she is just a voice in this. Could have been anybody else
3. The Mask - what a steep drop off from #1
4. Charlies Angels, and Charlie's Angels Full Throttle - nothing against this triumphant series, but it sucked.
5. Any Given Sunday - an Oliver Stone movie which is all around pretty lame
6. What Happens in Vegas - ok, I think we get the picture.
Now lets compare this with an entertainer that has not been crowned as one of the best entertainers on the planet with a star on the walk of fame. Case in point; Pauly Shore.
1. Bio-dome - hands down, number one Pauly Shore movie. He brings the laughs in every scene
2. Encino Man - again, another great movie that everybody has seen and nobody has ill words towards
3. In the Army Now - hahahaha, I'm still laughing from the last time I saw this movie! Can you imagine Pauly Shore in the Army?!?!?1 OMG, true classic
4. Son in Law - solid movie that you will find on TBS more often than not
5. Jury Duty - seriously, the hits keep coming. Jury Duty is hilarious. Who would want to do jury duty for a murder case just to get a place to stay and a small paycheck? I'll tell you! Pauly Shore would!
The facts speak for themselves. Cameron Diaz has been in some good movies, but the drop off from Something about Mary to Charlie's Angels is staggering. Conversely, Pauly Shore has shown the ability to consistently put out solid gut-buster comedies with no meaningful drop off in quality. The only thing that Cameron could have done to boost her resume would be to replace Ashton Kutcher with Pauly Shore in What Happens in Vegas. Pauly, your star is way overdue. srsly

Adventures in moving
This weekend we continued the eternal struggle to move all of our junk from spot A to spot B. It all reminds me of a George Carlin bit where he talks about how our lives revolve around where we will be keeping our stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvgN5gCuLac
Did you watch the video? Yeah, its pretty creative. Anyways, we were able to move in a lot more of our stuff. We got the kitchen table, guest bed, and a lot more boxes of kitchen stuff (dishes and appliances). Now, all of this stuff was being stacked up in the living room and kitchen and it was starting to get a bit cluttered. So saturday evening we started cleaning dishes and putting things in the appropriate closet. Its nice not have a lot of stuff when you move because it takes far less time to organize. Quickly we started to see some results. We got the bed set up, all of the appliances put away, the clean dishes in the cabinets, and the several boxes of books upstairs.
On Saturday we had a couple deliveries as well. Our new refrigerator was delivered and installed and it just barely fit within the dimensions of the cutout. I must have done an excellent job measuring because there couldn't be more than 1/16" of combined wiggle room on either side. The washer and dryer were also delivered and installed. Laura and her mom instantly fell in love with the washer, dryer and refrigerator. What caused this infattuation? Simple; when the washer and dryer turn on they say,
"bleep boop beep bop boop beeb"
and the refrigerator beeps when you press the different buttons. That's it, you say? Yup, that's it. They say that its like having your own Wall-E or Eve in the house.
Finally, this weekend we got the carpets a much needed cleaning. The guy did a great job, but let me tell you a little about carpet cleaners. You have no idea what they are going to do until they get to your house. When calling for quotes, I had to tell them how many areas I needed to clean. And from what I read, and area was a a bedroom, hallway, master closet, or staircase. Well, those are actually full areas. Half areas include the landing on a divided stair case, hall closets (even ones that are less than 5 sqft) and small bedroom closets. There are tons of "half areas" and they add up fast, so we left those off the cleaning list. Next, the cleaner guy will survey the house and point out all the spots where they have to do "special treatment" which of course is an extra fee which will often double the price of that room. Some of these special treatments I think are necessary, most imporatantly the spots of animal pee.
Being a professional carpet cleaner, one must see a ton of dog and cat piss stains. Our guy pointed out every stain and said, "..must have been a small dog. You can tell because this is a small to medium sized pee stain." Question: during carpet cleaner training, do they have to look at flash cards of pee stains and classify the size? These flash cards would probably need to have some sort of scale next to the pee stain like a paperclip or a dime? Sounds awesome.
So when it was all said an done, we ended up paying about 75% more than we expected to pay for carpet cleaning, but it was worth it. I figure all carpet cleaning companies to the same thing, so there are no regrets.

Booth or Table?
When Laura and I go out to eat a sit down place we always request a booth. You know, if we are going to pay too much for a meal, we might as well sit in the seats we want. And normally the wait for the booth isn't too much longer than a table. The booth is good for someone like me because I like to spread out my plates at bit and I get messy. Also, its a little more private so the other patrons can't see how much food I have left on my shirt. However, last night when we went to dinner, out booth plan was put to the test.
We went to Ted's Montana Grill because they have great burgers, and we had a coupon. The latter being the primary reason. Laura went to put our name in and request the booth, and the dude up front said the wait would be 30-35 minutes with maybe an extra 5 for the booth. Awesome, we'll go walk around the shopping center and then come back. So we come back after 30 minutes and the guy up front says it will be one more group, then the next booth is ours. This sounds good, so we sat down and started waiting.......and waiting......and waiting.
As the wait continued we started to ask each other, "Should we just take a table?". But the answer was always no. We don't want to sit at a table because we know right as we do, a booth will open up, and we have already waited so long. By now we were getting super hungry and our stomachs started commenting on the wait,
"Jeebus!! Let's just eat!!"
And I was like, "yo, Stomach, you need to lock it up!"
Finally, our name was called, and not a moment too soon. It could have gotten ugly. So we sat and ate, and in case you were wondering, the booth was quite pleasant. We enjoyed our time.
Oh, and so you know, Ted's doesn't just serve those weird pickle things instead of the customary bread. If you ask for bread they bring out some awesome fresh baked rolls. But you have to ask.
In the future, we will still request a booth. I really don't want everyone to see all the crap I spill on my shirt.

sweet car, crappy apartment
For the last year I have been living in an apartment complex. And with most apartment complexes come parking garages. So everyday when I drive out to work and back in from work I get to see all the cars of the people living in the complex. Now we don't live in an expensive apartment, it's very much middle of the road for our area. But for the last six months or so Laura and I have noticed that there are a lot of fancy cars in our parking deck.
The nice cars we see aren't just new Toyota's that have been washed. We have seen new BMW's, Mercedes, a Maserati, and even a Bentley. My first question is, why are you living in an apartment when you have such a nice car? I couldn't imagine making a larger car payment than rent payment each month. I'm sure the people driving these cars do not own them outright. Nobody buys a luxury car with cash and drives it back to their nondescript apartment. And what do you do with such a nice car and a one-room apartment? Are these guys cruising around the suburban streets of Atlanta picking up honeys then taking them back to their place where you can microwave Hungry Jack breakfasts from your bed? Not sure.
Second, do they think nothing with happen to their car? The parking deck isn't the most safe place to park your car. You can easily get your doors scratched, the arm gate could hit your car (this happened to us), or it could easily get stolen. So if you have a nice car and you don't want to get your doors dinged by the people that park next to you, what do you do? Of course, you double park. However, in a parking deck, if you double park you are probably the first car to get keyed. Now I would never do such a thing, but when I walk by cars that have been double-parked, I wish somebody would. Just sayin'.

Trip to Italy
Laura and I got back from Italy about two weeks ago. My parents gave us this trip as a wedding present, and it was all around fantastic. We took a Globus tour of the major sites including Rome, Florence, Venice, and Capri. I'm glad I bought a new camera in January because I took over 1500 pictures! My Canon XS worked great! Amazingly, during our two week trip, I only had to recharge the battery once! Compare this with my old point and shoot Finepix camera which I had to change batteries at least 6 times during our two week honeymoon the year before.
Here are a couple pictures from the trip. I will post more later. Thanks again, mom and dad, the trip was incredible!!!

Summer television
For those of you with DVR, you have probably noticed the severe lack of good television this summer. Its not like this summer is worse than any other, but still its pretty bad. Gone are our favorites such as The Office and 30 Rock, only to be replaced with 16 and Pregnant, and Here Come the Newlyweds. You would think that if a station would realize the dearth of quality programming in the summer, they could capitalize by putting our at least one or two marginal shows. Or maybe this is just a collaboration between all of the stations to do their part to fight obesity in America. If there are no shows to watch, people will go outside and get active.....false.
This is where Bravo comes in. Bravo has successfully mastered the art of cookie cutter reality television. With shows like the Real Housewives of Wherever, Top Chef, or Millionaire Matchmaker, Bravo has shown its viewers that it can take the same photography, editing, and music and apply them to any scenario. The cost of production for these types of shows must be super low, so the return on investment must be awesome. I'm a dude, and I cant turn the TV off when these shows are on. And I know I'm not the only one too.
Let's break down the Real Housewives show (because it's by far my favorite). The camera crew, of which the show only needs five or six, simply walks around with the different ladies while they talk behind each other's back. The show doesn't have to pay for their activities because they already have a ton of money. I would love to be the interviewer for their testimonials.
Me: "So, did you hear what LuAnn said? She said you had crazy eyes. She said your eyes are crazy like a bat or hyena."
(and role tape)
Ramona: "I do NOT have crazy eyes!!! LuAnn is such a ..."
Voila, great television everytime.

So, if you have been paying attention you will have noticed that there have been four locations for the Real Housewives series; Orange County, New York, Atlanta, and now New Jersey. For the opening shots the ladies of Orange County held up oranges, New York held apples, and Atlanta held peaches. New Jersey, however, did not get to hold up anything. This is outrageous! I demand the producers re-shoot the opening with the ladies holding up steamy piles of garbage. If I had to speculate where the next season of Real Housewives would be, I would probably guess Dallas, Texas or Miami, Florida. The Dallas housewives would probably be holding a gun or perhaps a cow, and the Miami housewives would obviously be holding a Cuban sandwich.

What is this all about?
Hello world. So this is my first blog post, and I thought I would take the time to tell you a little bit about what I plan to do with this. As a disclaimer, my spelling may be poor and my grammar isn't too far behind. Anyway, I decided to start this as a way to let people know what's going on in my world.
A little bit about myself. I am a Georgia Tech graduate with degrees in mechanical engineering. And unlike my older and younger brother, I have decided to work in the discipline of my major. I have a wonderful wife whom I've been married to for a little over a year. Last week we bought an awesome house in the middle of horse country Georgia. My interests include watching all sports and playing some as well. I also like to cook and have recently gotten into digital photography. Don't get me wrong, I still watch a lot of television and movies (this will probably become more evident with upcoming posts).
Currently, Laura and I are going through the packing/moving exercises all people must go through when they get a new place to live. Packing is kind of a pain and a little overwhelming. Its amazing how much stuff we have packed into the closets of our apartment. I'm not sure what my deal is, I might get this from one of my parents, but I dont throw much away. I have a couple bins of things like tacs, receipts from 2003, and blurry pictures of things I cant remember, but I just cant pull myself to throw them away. Maybe its a part of me that thinks, you know, I might want those tacs but I dont want to splurge the tree-fiddy for new tacs. Who knows?
