Guess Who’s Back…Back Again!

Nope it’s not Eminem this time…it is I! I have recently went on some breaks from the blogging atmosphere and thought I could make it perminent, but what the heck was I thinking! I love expressing myself and sharing and trading information with others. Myspace and facebook work well too, but this is more up my alley, or atleast I think it is.

Anyways, as I start once again the things that have crossed my paths in the past month in a nutshell…We know some people prefer “quickies” so read this one just to take a few minutes out of your hectic Tuesday!!!

Congrats to my GOD awful fantasy football teams this year…I was seeded number 1 in 3 of my 4 leagues and just so happen to choke in the clutch and now am playing in the semi-consolation bracket…

Hooray for 3rd URGH!

Fantasy Basketball is working wonders for me thanks to the drafting of big men like Bosh, Granger, and Bynum…and my fantastic guards Joe Johnson, Kobe, and Derrick Rose. My first place is looking good from up here at the top…I play above the RIM!!

In the MLB, my favorite, the Yankees must have won the lottery becasue they are high rolling with the acquistions of pitchers CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett. Now they are appearing to be a force to be reckoned with…well as long as everyone stays healthy! Because these pin stripes got some new bills to be paying, so I hope the best for them, but my BoSox are still n top of their gaem and the Rays are no joke either! Crawford will be healthy this whole season, so the AL better watch out!

In the NFL, the Giants are struggling and the Panthers are succeeding! You always got to pull for your hometown team, so I am definitely ready for next Sunday when the Panthers travel to NY to put a whopping on those “Little” Giants! Maybe they should recruit “Icebox” for just one game…:)

Recent movies have been released and I haven’t gotten to view tons of them, but I am trying to catch up…

Transporter 3 is another great one featuring Jason Statham who is amazing in the while trilogy and love every movie he is in. A must see…B+ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbh3CDBNIQA

The Quantum of Solace…not so hot on my list! I mean I’m not a huge bond fan, but I did enjoy Casino Royale, but I wasn’t really sold on the new one. David Craig is great, he needs to stay around for a while, but again I think they just tried to put too much action into this movie(yes, I said too much action..I still don’t know how that is possible), but it did finish up pretty well and was well rounded. Don’t take my opinion, again I’m not a  huge Bond fan, so watch it and enjoy. B

Eagle Eye…yes, it was out a long time ago, but I know have just gotten around to watching it. Great movie from beginning til right at the end. Had me ready for the next scene everytime, but its one of those movies that you just hate how it ended. Couldn’t think of a better ending I guess?!? A-

Zack and Miri Make a Porno…what a great one! Actually my mother went and saw it and told me I had to go see it. HAHAHA She hated it, but knew I’d love it and yes I did! Great comedy which turns into a kind of romance at the end but who cares if that slowed up the fast laughing pace…I enjoyed it. My brother went with his girlfriend to actually watch this too and she cried at the end..VERY STRANGE if I may say! B-

For cd’s that have struck my interest over the past month…

T-Pain’s Thr33 Ringz is a good one to pick up and Ludacirs’ Theater of the Mind is up there as well. Britney Spears Circus is getting tons of interest and support, but as much as I love her Womanizer video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZSLIq6YiRY), I can do without the rest of the cd tracks. But again congrats to her and the comeback! Blake Sheltons Startin Fires one of my favorites of the year, and also features one of my new favorite country songs 100 miles!

The biggest thing that has happened to me over the past while is the demolition of my new restaurant opening up here in Salisbury,NC. East Coast Wings and Grill located at 211 Faith Rd. phone umber 704-633-2464. I will be having my grand opening extravaganza in 6-8 weeks as of yesterday! I’m so excited and so ready for this and am looking froward to seeing how the business will go for me. So if you are around at the beginning of the year, check me out and stop by. I will be keeping everyone updated on the status and you will be one of the first to know what is going on. www.eastcoastwings.com

Again, for all who read, I am back so thanks for reading and keep those comments coming. I will be having some new things coming for housing market and questionnaire for people to answer questions that I do have for relationships, work, and in life in general. Thanks again

Fantasy Football’s BIGGEST LOSER

I honestly must be having the worst fantasy football season in the history of it all!!! After the draft and getting to dominating running backs I thought this was going to be a decent season…HELL NO it hasn’t! This year has sucked so bad I have no idea if I should even keep up with my team anymore! Atleast my team name is pretty cool (HellwitObamaiwantTO)! I mean Roethlisberger has been so terrible, I don’t even want to start him, but I have no other back up worth a dang besides Thigpen who I also play in this 2 qb roster, but the 3rd one i own is Orton who just so happen to of course get injured. All the other possible qb’s are sitting on someone elses bench…My running backs consist of S. Jackson and Addai…wow they both blow this year, just about as much as their teams do! My backups are Julius Jones(no comment), KenDarby(yeah thats right “Who?”), and Dominic Rhodes(just because Addai was out for awhile)! WR’s are Plaxico, Santonio Holmes and Steve Breaston…Holmes is the biggest let down I have ever sustained in fantasy anything and I keep playing him thinking he will break out, but the only thing hes breaking out of is my fantasy lineup! My backups aren’t much better..Issac Bruce and Kevin Walter…but Walter will start next week while I bench “Say it ain’t so Holmes”! Tightend stating job is with Tony Gonzalez, but thats because he is reliable a majority of times and plus the Chiefs never have a qb to throw it far enough so I though he was a good choice! My most consistent player was my kicker Gould until I had to drop him during a bye week thinking no one would snatch him up, but I think my league has it out for me since I have killed in every fantasy league sport this year, and they take him too, so I no rely on Josh Scobee…I play defenses week by week depending on opponents because there isn’t much else I can do! I am so bad, my 3 week total has now just broke the 125 mark….I hate this season and I had to share with someone, so feel my pain, Yours cant be no worse than mine!

I got what you need…

 I am finally back again..I know I said it last time, but seriously this time I’m back and will have tons of post! Lifes been hectic and there has been tons of things for me to do and ALOT of running around! Updates from all around that I have seen and done over the past few days…

I’m back addicted to The Island on MTV on Wednesday nights! Haven’t missed an episode and I’m really excited to see if Eve can win this weeks challenge and get Johnny’s key back!

Missed VH1’s Pick-Up Artist 2 this week, I really hate that because its very interesting that this kind of crap works to some extent, but to see grown men struggle to pick up women is great! I so should be on that show, because I have no clue what the heck I am doing anyways, I guess that’s why I choose to stay dateless and save my self from embarrassment and rejection!

I recently got probably my least favorite album in a long time…Lucky Old Sun by Kenny Chesney! If you want my opinion, don’t bother with it! Just wait for the 2 hits to be on the radio because I was extremly disappointed in it! But you still got to love Kenny, and I will still be attending his concert next year!

Attended Scarowinds this past Saturday and I will let everyone know that you HAVE TO GO!!! Only open 3 more days, andit’s totally worth it! Yes, a little pricey at $42 a head, but 5 hours open and 12 haunted houses and trails, plus all the rides are open..it’s well worth it. Now we did go this past Saturday, and it was extremely busy around 8ish so get there a little early gates open at 7 and we honestly waited in line for an average of 15 minutes on all the houses and trails! Now if you are going for the rides, plan to wait a lot longer because they can only accommodate between 12-20 each time depending on the ride and how many different coasters are running. But again, I will repeat, the trails and houses are great and   well worth it!

Fantasy football has finally dulled down for me and I absolutely hate it again this year!!! After a very disappointing 43 total points for a 11 man slot I have decided to just pray for miracles and prepare for NBA Fantasy!! S. Jackson didn’t play, Addai is still hurt, Roethlisberger threw 4 picks, Holmes prefers marijuana over playing time…Its a very disappointing season for me and my staff! Only way from here is up and there’s not much worse i can do than this so maybe I can still be in the top 6 for playoffs!

Back to Fantasy Basketball, I happen to of missed the draft last night due to my jerk commissioner who said he’d move the time back an hour so I could attend, but heck no!!! I show up at the house at 10 and my team is already picked for me! I did get the number one pick and the computer did give me Kobe, but maybe I would of took King James?!? I guess we wil have to see. But I did get Bynum in the 3rd and Oden in the 5th round so I was excited and hope my big men can lead me to the promise land of champions just like they did last year!

I also attended the Carolina Panther game on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium and had a great time. I took my father for his birthday, and he loves going there every year, so I guess I’ll have to make it a ritual now! Steve Smith and the rest of the Panthers played a great 2nd half of football and was able to outlast the Arizona Cardinals and win their 6th game of the season to bring them to 6-2 for the season and sitting in first in their division! Impressive win, and hopefully after their bye week they can come back strong and beat Oakland and keep up the great play!

UFC fight Saturday night was a huge let down!!! Once my restaurant opens, I will be having these once a month and hope for all to attend, but gracious I hope nothing like this fight between Corte and Silva ever happens again, because I will be extremely pissed and hope that customers won’t get upset and start a riot lol! Terrible fight and hope that Dana White gets Silva a stiffer competitor for his next fight and make him earn everything that night. Nothing away from Silva, he is a heck of a fighter and probably a great man, but just left me very disappointed after Saturday night, because I wanted to see him crush Corte and let his name be chanted throughout the stadium! Bring on Liddell or one of my favorites…St. Pierre!

World Series is almost to a conclusion and I really hoped it went all 7 games, but heck we might be waiting til Thanksgiving to finish game 5!!!! Phillies have impressed us all with their bats and pitching while the Rays have impressed us all year with all their efforts and everything that they have accomplished and done right! Maybe a little on the tired side, or maybe the Phillies are just that much better, but I watched both teams play in person this year and couldn’t be any happier for whoever wins it all. Both teams are extremely talented, and will be top contenders again next year!

Joe Pa for President!!!! Penn State is off to one of their best starts in years!!! I have rooted for Penn State for years and am so glad that they are where they are this year! Impressive wins, even if it wasn’t a blow out last Saturday, but we will take it. Being that my brother is a Texas fan, I would love to see these two teams in the National Championship! So best of luck…Go Nittany Lions

I’m Back…

It’s been weeks and seems forever since I have posted something on here…and actuality it has been! I have been extremely busy over the past 3 weeks, running here and there and everywhere, but here is a quick updated post of all I have caught and done and experienced in the past few weeks in one post just for you all so enjoy! Oh yeah, everyone loves pictures, so enjoy…

Fantasy Football…bombed another one in week 2(thanks again s. jackson), but quickly recovered in week 3 and 4! Thanks to the Steelers OT win in week 4 that got me the 1-pt. win to be sitting in 5th place at 2-2.

Fantasy baseball…dominated all year long and finished it off unlike the Patriots of last year! Even though Crawford and Kinslerhad season ending injuries, my drafting skills were tip-top with picking speed over anything else! I stole the trophy and the bases all year long!!!

Fantasy Hockey started last night..ummmm We had a live draft, but no one was there! This is going to be fun lol At least we all have cool team names in remembrance of the Mighty Ducks Trilogy!

Had a road trip to Baltimore to watch the Tampa Bay Rays clinch!!! 5th ballpark this year, and Camden Yards is number 1 on my list so far of stadiums and surrounding areas to see. Now only 27 more to go…I’ll start back up in March:)

Watched the movie Mirrors…very scary at some points, a little odd at the end, but scary throughout the rest of it…Rating: B-

Worst movie of all time possibly Journey to the Center of the Earth with Branden Fraiser…movie is god awful and cannot believe I kept watching but I swore it had to get better, but NO!!! Rating:E (don’t waste your time)

 Most recent funny movie College is down right hilarious! Went to the theatre with 12 friends…laughed the whole time! Just like Superbad…funny from start to finish. Rating:B+

 A new suspense/drama movie Righteous Kill is out with Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, and I must see this is a GREAT one too! You are hooked and guessing from the first kill of what is going to happen. What an amazing duo them two are! Rating:A

Dancing with the Stars has began…not as much hooked as I first thought I’d be…Picked Brooke and Kim to be in the finals…well at leastBrooke’s still in the race! Kim…huge disappointment, you have no idea how much faith I had in you!

I am hooked on The Island with Real World/Road Rules Challenge…Watch it every year and no matter what you know is going to happen it still gets you going! For some reason I would love to be on that show to see if reality people are really that crazy or if it’s just being around those others and having yourself taped that makes you that way! I can do the same things they do, and I wouldn’t bitch about it like they do! Sign me up!!!

T.I.’s latest album Paper Trailis the shiznit!!! One of the best rap albums I’ve heard in a long time…Yes, Tha Carter III is still better, but hot dang this one is HOTT! NeYo’s-Year of the Gentleman is also a good one…Some songs you can skip over, but overall pretty dang sweet!

MLB Postseason started…Poor Mets…Got a friends who pitches for them, and I love their uniforms, but they just can’t make it! I’m a Red Sox fan and they are up 1-0 and looking forward to hopefully another championship! I’m a huge Ken Griffey Jr. fan, and so glad that he’s in the post-season after a 10 yr drought! All my friends are Cub fans, and are sitting on the edge of their seats every pitch, so I love pulling against them. Thank you very much to Loney and Manny for last nights beating!!!

I think that’s about all I have for you guys over these past few weeks…I’ll keep looking over things and double checking, but I’m back a full steam ahead! Thanks for reading

Fantasy Week 1

Week one has come and gone and another upsetting year is on the horizon for me and my unlikely dominating fantasy team. Last year Drew Brees got me -7 in a crucial matchup, and then Brian Westbrook doing the “team” thing downed it inside the 5 yard line to give his team the win which made me lose by 4!!! That was last year, the past is the past..Right? Well, I unfortunately lost by a whopping 32 this week thanks to efforts of 44 fn points by Michael Turner!?! That’s right LT’s previous backup! It’s the Falcons and are you serious, he’s going to blow me out like this. Week one is over, the start of my redemption season is looking bad! I mean how does S. Jackson and J. Addai but up a combined 11 pts? Oh right, because the Rams blow and the Colts just looked awful and rusty! Hopes for week 2 could turn things around, but my opponent has Andre Johnson, A. Peterson, R. Wayne and W. Parker…Things aren’t looking good unless the football fantasy gods have received my prayers!!! Only time will tell!
