A year ago, I wrote about the train wreck the 2007 MTV VMAs was. The biggest laugh of the night, of course, came from Kanye West. Here is what I wrote a year ago..."Of course, a biggest ego award should be created specifically for, and named after, Kanye West. This asswipe was nominated for 4 or 5 awards this year... as in the past 2 award shows... and hasn't won yet. However, he always feels

Tonight, my softball team did something I thought we'd never knew we'd be able to do... WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP!Our previous season together, we went 9-1 over a 10 game stretch. Our team was almost unbeatable. Of course, that may have been our downfall as we went into the post season a little too cocky and lost to a 2-8 team in the first round. It was humiliating, but memorable for me, which made

Well, it's that time of year again...The days get longer.The temperature gets warmer.and the Sharks can't get past the second round.For the 3rd year running, the Sharks have lost in the 6th game, of the 2nd round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. It's maddening.Let me just ask... who's responsible for the constant line-juggling all season? Who's responsible for a PP that was deadly last season and DOA

"I have always felt that it is important that we find humor in which we are most sensitive. It is through comedy that we can begin conversation instead of hiding behind political correctness - a wall that simply divides people and stifles communication." ------ Jason Reitman.That is all.

The Vietnamese community is up in arms over this whole Little Saigon naming issue centered in San Jose. Over the course of the last 3 months, it has turned San Jose into a fragmented community and a political hotbed. It's also brought a lot of opinions and feelings out that had been subdued for sometime. I'm seeing a lot of hate on message boards from both sides. If this is a sign of things to

Today, I had to run some things over to the Post Office to be mailed. A year or so ago, I wrote about an experience dealing with the local PO. Today was just another little experience.I had about 8 envelopes of CDs to mail out. I came to the window with my envelopes and, once again, was asked "would you like Priority or Express?" Not wanting to get into another argument, I simply said "first

You know what? I've had it! And I really don't give a flying fuck who I offend.I've recently moved into a new home. I moved from a primarily caucasian neighborhood in Foster City to, what can only be described as, a ghetto part of San Jose. When we first walked through the model of the home, we loved the place. We would get just over 600 more feet of living space and live closer to work. We

If you've ever read my blog, you know I despise "concert packages" and "VIP promotions" and "ticket pre-sales". I grew up during a time where if you wanted a good seat, you got to the ticket outlet the night before with a sleeping bag. There was no buying your way to the front. A LOT of bands are guilty of these retarded concert packages that do nothing but reward the "haves" and screw the "

Today's rant comes to you courtesy of the idiotic Vietnamese community in San Jose.Essentially, there was big "to-do" about the naming of, basically, a strip mall on Story Road near Wal-Mart. This new strip mall will apparently feature a lot of Vietnamese businesses. Madison Nguyen, a San Jose council woman, proposed naming this "district" the Saigon Business District. For some reason, the local

For those who know me, you know that I'm a huge San Jose Sharks fan. I've grown with the team since their inception. I'm also a pretty competitive guy and give my all when playing sports. However, the '07-'08 version of the Sharks apparently don't share the same passion of the game that I do.Perhaps some of you have seen my post from almost 2 years ago. During that time, the Sharks were in a

So I caught this little tidbit today from the brilliant mind of Jermaine Dupri. For those of you who don't know, Jermaine is a hop-hop producer who hasn't produced anything of merit in quite some time.

In November of 1990, all the employees of Mother’s get some bad news… it’s being bought. Well, at least it wasn’t being closed. However, many changes were on the horizon.The owner of a modern rock club, called The Edge, decided to buy Mother’s. I assume his reasoning was that The Edge was 18 and over while Mother’s was 16-21 and that there would be a good blend between the two clubs. I told him

I don't care if it's Comcast, Cox, Direct TV or Dish Network, anyone with more than a handful of channels as had a nightmare experience.

So I heard that the MTV Video Music Awards show tonight was supposed to be ground breaking broadcast... HA!A older, fatter, lazier Britney Spears opened the show. She is so completely laughable now. She obviously needs a (better) dietician and personal trainer. Yes, she may have recently popped out a couple of kids, but so did Cher at one point... and Cher looked better at twice Britney's age.

So tonight, I come across a bizarre new show from the lazy asses running things at ABC called i-Caught. Essentially, the show is nothing more than a twisted rip off of America's Funnisest Home Video. However, in this version, viewers don't send in video tapes trying to make it on the air. ABC simply scours YouTube and steals whatever they want for the show. Once again, network TV finds another

After a couple of weeks of spinning Sundays at the Excess, I decide to drop by on a Thursday night at hang out. I’ll admit my primary reason for showing up that night was strippers. On Thursday nights only, as an incentive to bring people out early, from 9pm to 10:30pm, the club would hang a large curtain to essentially split the club in half. They would have male strippers for the female

I find out Dave was rock climbing with a girlfriend of his. During Dave’s descent, she apparently had a panic attack or something and released the brake. From what I remember, Dave broke 8 bones in one foot, 12 bones in the other, and caved in part of his knee. This was a major problem for him as his primary source of income was working for nightclubs. He would install and maintain sound and

I went to Togo's this evening to pick up a 3 sandwiches. Now, I was unsure as to wether I should order a 24" family size since all 3 of the ordered sandwiches were the same or should I just get 3 separate sandwiches. You would think making 1 sanwich would be easier and faster, and because I'm ordering larger, it would be cheaper right? No, because Togo's is retarded. Here's the pricing...One 24"

As a DJ for almost 20 years, I thought I would share a few pearls of wisdom that every club goer should know.First off, just because it's your birthday or bachelorette party or time of month does not make your request more important than someone else's. In fact, if your request sucks, chances are it won't get played no matter how hot you are. However... majority rules. If you're at the club with

So this week, the big 3 networks (NBC, CBS, and ABC) released their new schedules for next season. If you thought '06-'07 was bad, all 3 networks look to have shit the bed even worse for the upcoming fall season.Let's begin with NBC, who has finished last among major networks for the last few seasons... and I'll cover ABC and CBS in a day or two.During '06-'07, NBC dubuted shows such as Studio 60

So my setlist didn't work. I agonized but it was lacking. Dave told me the BPMs were good, but I was mixing genres way too much. He told me "you can't just go from Prince to Joan Jett". However, a few weeks later, I proved him wrong. Anyway, I continued my quest. I would show up every Friday and Saturday night at 8pm like clockwork to study Yoda (I mean Dave). Over the next few weeks, I learned

I'm not sure how I arrived at this point. I grew up a single child with parents who divorced when I was 3. Neither my mother or my father were very competitive nor did either try to drill competitiveness into my psyche. Yet, for some reason, I'm about as competitive as they come. I hate to lose. Let me say that again... I HATE TO LOSE. Actually, scratch that. I hate to lose IF, I know in my heart

Today's rant comes to you courtesy of a CNN articlen entitled Hip-hop's Simmons: Remove offensive words.Basically, rap music exec, Russell Simmons wants to lead a charge to ban words like "ho", "bitch", and "nigga" from rap music. As the article states, the day after "Imus-gate", Russell Simmons was singing a different tune about the slang not wanting to censor. However, today, it's a different

So, here we are after week 3 of our 10 week season. Currently, I keep hearing the same quote from the movie, "The Waterboy", ring in my ears, spoken by Rob Schnieder..."Oh no... we suck again!"After giving away week 1, we got destroyed in week 2 by a score of 18-7. There's is nothing I hate more than getting got by the 10 run rule which states that if you're up/down by 10 runs at the end of 5,

Yesterday, began the new softball season for my Wednesday league, the Bad News Beers. We started our season against a familiar foe, the Heaters. While we started out on a tear, putting up 6 runs in the first inning, the team had some brain lapses and fell 10-9.Some highlights of the game included a couple of great hits from Slinky and the return of our SS, Ned. A couple of lowlights included the

So, the big issue this week is a column that ran in a paper called AsianWeek.

No, I'm not bitching about our local authorities.I'm not even making reference to a song by NWA.I'm talking about Sting, Stewart, and Andy... the Police, the band.As anyone who reads this blog knows, I've had it with all the stupid concert shit.

And the story continues…I show up in the Mother’s parking lot at noon, where Dave is waiting for me. After a couple of brief pleasantries, he tells me to hop into his car so we can talk while he runs a couple of errands. Being a complete idiot, I hop right in.

You have to love people that are still using a PC rather than a Mac. I know some people have no choice due to work. I fall into that category. But when I get home, I'm on my Mac. And I fail to see how any one would own a personal computer that is not a Mac.They are 10 times easier to use. There are no such thing as "drivers" or "DLL" files. These is no "blue screen of death".

So our loathed President Bush had a big speech tonight... blah, blah, blah.I'm tired of losing Americans fighting his war... probably still trying to make up for how his Dad screwed us back in the early 90's.

My god, just when I thought I was able to fade into the background and be anonymous, someone will crawl out of the woodwork and give me the flashback that drugs only dream of providing. While DJing this weekend, someone actually came up to me and said "hey man, weren't you the DJ at Mother's?" Holy shit... how much longer will this go on???

But it's when I do it, it's a big deal." Isn't that what you wanted, idiot? Every damn thing this guy does is motivated by trying to get attention. Then, when he gets it, he whines about it?

So over the weekend, I came across a brief article in Wired Magazine.Essentially, the article is an advice column about making mixtapes from some guy named DJ Whoo Kid. The thing that ticked me off about this article was inferring that making a mixtape makes you a DJ. Let's get this straight. If you're on the radio and talk in between songs and get paid for it, you're an "air personality", not a

Today's rant comes from growing tired about hearing about the impending moves by the Oakland A's to Fremont and the SF 49ers to Santa Clara. Let's discuss the A's move first.The A's current stadium was never that great, but when the Raiders returned, they absolutely ruined it. However, it was pretty awesome how Bart could drop you off 100 feet from the gate along with how easy it is to get and

In speaking with some friends of mine over the weekend, we began debating the top 10 worst songs ever recorded. While everyone's list will vary, I'm quite sure a few of mine will make anyone's top 10. Just about any of these songs will invoke my gag reflex and make me look for the nearest noose or window to jump from.10. Raindrop's Keep Falling On My Head (BJ Thomas)9. Rhinestone Cowboy (Glen

For those of you thinking of taking that trip to a "secluded" area, let me clue you in on a couple of things. If you see a gas station during your journey, stop and fill up... because while you know your vehicle may be able to go another 50 miles on what you have left in the tank, there is NO GUARANTEE that you will see another gas station during those next 50 miles.If you see the word "quiant"

So here's the deal... today, a friend of mine sent me a link to see the new Weird Al video for his song "White & Nerdy". The song itself is a hysterical parody of an annoying rap song. After clicking on the link, I watched the video and laughed my ass off. Approximately 5 hours later, I went back to YouTube to show it to a friend... this is what I found...The words inside the red box read: "This

While I usually use this space to ramble on about the things I see that just piss me off, I've decided to rant about a happier topic.

Man, I get the feeling this going to be one long fuckin rant.First off, I must throw out a chuckle to VH1. While I must toss out a speck of respect for the fact they dedicated May to genre of metal, once again, a channel

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking crops but29% are on welfare. http://www.cis.org/Compliments of the LA Time AND The Federal Bureau OfInvestigations!1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has10 million people) are working for cash and notpaying taxes. This was because they arepredominantly illegal immigrants, working without agreen card. 2. 95% of warrants for murder

Due to Apple switching their processor from PowerPC to Intel, a lot of computer users are interested in running Windows on a Mac. My favorite podcast, the Maccast, has asked "Do we want it or need it"? My answer is hearty YES!There is the gaming community and developer groups who would love to run both Operating Systems so that would only need one machine. But what about the switchers?One of the

Slower Traffic, Move Right... is that concept so difficult to understand? You say you're going 65 and that's the legal limit? Tough shit... this is the REAL WORLD. There will always be folks who want to drive faster. To sit in the fast lane going 65 when people are flying by you on the right is not only selfish, it's discourteous and dangerous.I would suggest to all the "law obeying" drivers to

I caught this in the paper the other day... take a look..."Freeman Slams Black History Month"Actor Morgan Freeman has attacked the decision to dedicate a month to black history.The Oscar winner claims Black History Month, held each February, is a "ridiculous" concept.The 68-year-old says, "You're going to relegate my history to a month? I don't want a black history month. Black history is

After reading an newspaper article today about a book called "Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door'", I got to thinking about how some people are really fucking rude.Either they are rude, or it must be a total lack of common sense. How about those folks who cruise along a line of cars waiting to exit, and try to cut in

From SF Chronicle:They're overpriced, ugly and don't even make good rearview mirror ornaments. Now that we know they are also potentially poisonous to personal computers, thanks to Sony BMG's rogue copy-protection technology, there's really no reason to buy another compact disc ever again.With sleek iPods rapidly becoming the hi-fi system of choice, satellite radio offering hundreds of specialty

So, after my last post, my beloved team has taken a huge downturn. Our O-fense is like NO-fense... and the Defense is like Efense... where's the D???? After watching my favorite team lose 9 in a row, I was compelled to write a nice little letter to the General Manager of the team...~~~ So, DW. We are officially a 1/4 way into the season and, what, 1 win away from the worst losing skid in team

Well... I just had to post something because I'm still too fuckin amped up from tonights San Jose Sharks game. What a fuckin great game hockey is!!! I still can't belileve it garners shit in TV ratings and yet sports like tennis and golf can be a ratings bonanza. To quote George Carlin, "watching golf is like watching flies fuck". Anyway, my boys in teal tie up a game with 20 seconds left after

Another article read, another blog post fulfilled.I caught an article relating to TV in today's SF Chronicle and it got me to thinking.... damn, "big network" TV sucks today! Don't get me wrong... there are a few shows worth watching but by and large, today's programming blows. Perhaps this is a cleverly hidden ploy to get fat ass couch potatoes out of the house? Who knows? What I do know is that

Hello, once again, from my nightmare. I caught an article today in the SF Chronicle about radio and just had to laugh... and, of course, offer my blogged opinions.I have seen articles here and there talking about how iPods and satellite are killing good 'ole radio. Uh, hello... is this thing on? Clear Channel, and the like, began a slow bleed years ago that no one ever mentions. It was called

Is there anyone in the USA that will actually admit to voting for the current bozo running this country into the ground?I thought the slogan was "Vote or Die", not "Vote & Die". Or was it when Dems were told to go to the polls, the followed Clinton to a strip club? Just wondering. :-)Thank you for your support.. now, Vote... or, at least, tip a stripper.

So what brings this post on? I caught the end of a local story on the news tonight that pissed me off. It pissed me off for reasons some may think are all wrong. From what I understood of the news story, a police officer shot and killed a man who was brandishing a knife. Now I don't know about most people, but if I had a knife and an officer tells me to drop it, you can bet your life savings that

This was emailed to me a week ago or so. While some of it may be considered a tad harsh, for the most part, it does represent what a good number of people are thinking who are tired of things being so damn politically correct, including yours truly... enjoy."I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been busy what with celebrating my birthday, playing in my softball playoffs, DJing, downloading endless amounts of music, not too mention being so preoccupied with the incredible amount of porn readily available on the web. ;-)Once again, sometime in the future, I will just post a link to an audio blog (podcast) and you can just hear me ramble rather

Well, I figure if everyone else has a blog, I should have a better one. Alas, that will not come to fruition as I am just too busy with other things to type something pithy every few days. We shall see, however. Perhaps, I will make the time... or I will just transfer all my thoughts, rants, and raves to a podcast.We'll see
