Off Topic 2012

Re: Off Topic 2012

We left the house around 9:00 pm Saturday Night to go to this dive where I had a friend tending bar. So, we get there and I check my phone and see the weather is coming this way. We had a drink talk a little BS with my friend and I go outside see the what it's looking like outside for myself. I see the wind really blowing so I grab my fiance and head home this had to be around 10.

We are taking 295 south and we are getting off at 198, the 198 exit is partially blocked by a fallen tree, so I go around that and turn on Russet Green heading home and that street is also partially blocked by a fallen tree. I also notice that all the shops on the other side of 198 have no lights and the parking lot is dark the whole of 198 is pitch black (like something out of a zombie movie). So we pull into our neighborhood around 10:15 and out power was out until about 2:30 am Sunday morning, but by that time we were at my fiance's parents house as they got their power on at 1:15 that morning and our house was way to hot, even in the basement.

I feel bad for anyone who had/has to deal with the heat with no electricity. It was not fun yesterday.

I'm glad I wasn't driving around in it. Even after it started people at my apartment complex were leaving and driving around town. Nothing like severe weather to get people to come out of their homes.

I went through town today and pretty much nobody had lights until I hit downtown, which I'm pretty sure was using mostly generations. I got work clothes for tomorrow and brought some things to bring back to the parents house. I checked on my fridge. Nothing in the bottom part I'm worried about. I didn't have much milk left, but I'm really hoping my freezer can keep things just a little bit longer. Not that I have too much in there, but a couple pounds of chicken and hamburger I would rather not have to buy again. Not to mention all my left-over steak.

Anyway, went back through town tonight. My brother's house has power (about 10 minutes from me), but my complex is still dark. ****ing sucks. Seems like the Other Chase was one of the few to actually have a decent weekend even if he did get a fiberglass splinter.

Good ol ESPN.

Little SC promo during the Dodgers/Mets game:

"Spain has won 3 Euros in a row, are they the best team ever?"

Well, for one, they haven't won 3 Euros in a row. They need new fact checkers.

Re: Off Topic 2012

The most amazing thing just happened. Earlier today I noticed a rogue moth had snuck into my apartment, the first I'd seen in here all year. I just went to the bathroom to take a piss and the stupid SOB flew into the bathroom, directly in the path of my stream and got KTFO

I'm guessing they meant 2 Euros and a World Cup. Even the actual soccer guys on there were debating whether or not they were the best ever.

That wasn't even my issue lol, I'm just tried of every time anyone wins anything, ESPN has to be like "are they the best ever?"

Or if Tiger wins a tourney "is Tiger back?"

They always have to pull this ****, can we not just sit back and enjoy sports anymore?

I agree, though I actually attribute the Tiger Woods one to the fans just as much as them. If you had a twitter, you'd know what I meant by that.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Well, everyone deep down inside wants Tiger to 'be back' -- can't fault ESPN for that.

You also can't fault them for asking if Spain currently has one of the best teams ever. World Cup victory and two straight Euro titles. They made Italy look really bad -- granted Italy had some injuries but they performed surgery on them, lol.

Being a hipster actually feels really good. For example, I liked We Are Young way before it became popular, and now that its a #1 hit I feel superior to everyone else who just now is discovering it. Never thought I would say that before lol

That's about the only hipster thing I got going for me. But I define it more as just hating the overplaying of actual good music in the mainstream. And also that it's become the anthem to teenage girls everywhere... Ugh

There are times where I hate owning an Audi. This is one of those times.
