Entertainment

I couldn’t really come up with much to write about this month because I haven’t watched much TV or gone to the movies but we turned on FOX last night to watch The Simpson’s and some show called Hole in the Wall was on. FOX what the hell was that shit! I could have come up with a better show with a monkey and a wise cracking parrot. For those of you who have no clue what I’m talking about consider yourselves lucky. Basically FOX found a couple local retards and told them to stand in front of a pool while a wall with a hole comes flying at them and the object is to get through the hole. Now that sounds bad enough but my god the announcing would make George Grande cringe, and for crying out loud the sideline reporter looks like a beaten up Vanna White, and this ain't 1978 anymore Vanna.

Music

For your September music I’m gonna talk Cold War Kids, because after all that’s what I am too. Cold War Kids are certainly a different sound, somewhere between Ben Folds Five and Coldplay (but not so gay). Their new c.d. that comes out late September on the 23rd is titled Loyalty to Loyalty should be quite large. The single that has been released titled Something Is Not Right With Me is a freaking jam. If you can’t wait for their next c.d. to come out get their last one called Robbers & Cowards. A few jams off that c.d. include Hospital Beds and Hang Me Up to Dry.

Excuse the lack of a video, just enjoy the tunes.

Sports

It’s about damn time baseball is over and yes I know its still technically going on but who cares. Football Is America, baseball is an excuse to go drinking on a weeknight and occasional afternoon. All my life I have been a Bengals and Buckeyes fan, unfortunately with the resigning of Chris Henry and the lack of effort toward winning I entered the NFL fan free agency and I was promptly picked up by The New Orleans Saints and I gotta tell you I couldn’t be happier. Big Ten quarterback, Will Smith, Superdome, and delicious local cuisine so GEAUX SAINTS.

Now for the most important thing that occurs each fall, college football and The Ohio State Buckeyes. If you know me well you know I have a lot of my life invested into this team, I don’t know why but my life hangs in the balance each time they take the field. I’m just as proud of that as I am from any other of my beautiful traits. So as you know the Buckeyes have to travel to USC this year and the last time I was this nervous I was jumping into sand in front of a couple thousand people. I have no idea what is going to happen but if it is damn Jim Heacock’s fault for sitting back in a zone the whole game so help me god I will track him down and unleash Pirate Nation upon him at every waking moment!

Style

For those of you that know me know I’m not a stranger to off the wall footwear. I decided this month I’m going to highlight the glory of ugly shoes to all my readers. Now I have four sisters that are not shy about judging people so I know what girls are looking at when they see some random dude. One of the first things is inevitably the shoes. In my opinion it does not matter if you got some ugly neon pink rides like the ones I just bought, or if you got some newest Nike air max. The slim fashion advice for the return to school is get something different and for crying out loud keep these rides in good shape and the Ms. Pirates will be happy.
