Sunil Gulati and his bureaucratic cronies blew it for us - Klinsmann pulled his name out of the running for our Men's National Team coach.
If you don't care about soccer this is utterly meaningless for you, but for someone like me who is a rabid Chelsea and US Men's National Team supporter this is disasterous. DISASTEROUS I SAY!
In your mind would an economist be suitable for running a national soccer program? This doesn't defy logic... there simply isn't any logic at all. That is like suggesting that a computer programmer is qualified to run a music school - there is absolutely no immediate (or otherwise...) qualification for a person like Sunil Gulati to be anchoring a national sports program.
I spend the hours of 10am-2pm every Saturday and the hours of 11am-1pm on Sunday, without fail, in front of my TV watching matches broadcast from England and Italy. There is absolutely nothing short of a family death that would keep me from doing this. I love it - its the one of the things that makes me happy. Right now Sunil Gulati is not making me happy.
Anyway, TGIF. Time to go scoop @jason out of his cutting edge IT tech farm on Grand Island. Until later peeps.
I deleted a journal entry yesterday because it got around that the girl I met the other day may/may not have a BF, and as a result I got a flood of texts and drama yesterday. She tells me she's single, her friend says otherwise... I don't know what to believe so I'm just going to forget about it for now. In all honesty I'm feeling great being by myself and I sure as hell don't need any of this additional bullshit in my life! If she wants to hang out that is fine, but I am making no moves for now.
I had possibly one of the worst days of my life yesterday. I drank on an empty stomach on Tues. night and I paid for it in spades yesterday. I was constantly vomiting, I felt dehydrated, I couldn't keep any liquid down so I sure as hell wasn't going to try to eat. This continued all day until I went to bed at about 10pm. I wonder if I got some kind of minor form of alcohol poisoning - I've been hung over many times but this was simply on another level. Hell, its been 36 hours since I stopped drinking and I still feel weird.
I was going to go booze it up this weekend but I think its more prudent for me to stay home and drink Pepsi!
Britney Spears - 4 years ago every guy my age (and older!) wanted to have sex with her. Now there is nothing left to the imagination, we know that she is trashy and at this point the only way I could possibly have sex with her is to concentrate on the money. Does Britney Spears still qualify as MILF? Money I'd Like to Fuck.
I am watching the Science Channel and I just saw an ad for genital herpes medication. Commercials during the day are far more colorful. Of course, every medicine nowadays has several different caveats they have to throw in to avoid lawsuits. Today's took me by surprise - they suggest that the medicine makes it possible to lower the chance that you would pass genital herpes on to your partner..... BUT! *Tested for heterosexuals only.* I'm not exactly sure about what the purpose is of putting this in there and I'm not exactly sure about whether or not this should be considered offensive. You all know that I'm the LAST person around here to be too P.C. or to worry about what is offensive and what isn't. Is this caveat put in there just in case some gay couples try the medicine and it doesn't work, since they didn't test it for gay couples? Is this supposed to suggest that the medicine doesn't work for gay couples at all? That last thought it what gets to me... it is this permutation that I think is ridiculous. Is it possible that if a gay couple tried it and it didn't work, that they would sue over it? How is this any different than if a hetero couple tried it and it didn't work?
"Well, Mr. Larson, the difference is that we only did a study conducted with heterosexual couples."
I find it impossible that a company dumping a figure with 8 or more 0's behind it into development of a herpes drug that they couldn't spend a little more time to test it on different types of couples. Doing their homework would basically eliminate the need for lawyers to insist on CYA mode when you make the damn commercial.
I hate lawyers and I don't know why I considered law school.
