Wish that this was truly the end of the Confederacy, but with the current Republican party resurrecting old, tired ideas, I can’t believe we’re done with these fools.

Of course, the slow tempo hardly makes this ska, but the backing horns section and the syncopation hints towards it.
Whine and grind. A cool, cool stroker.
Yeah 80s. Where’s your black trenchcoat? Creepers? Better bust them out.
The URL says it all. *Wah-wa-wa-waaaaaaah*
Foul balls were flying my way all night long. Close to last years seats. In fact, I most likely would’ve been the one reaching for the one that bounced back onto the field in the fourth.
I seem to get a ball every year. This one in the bottom of the eighth. Markakis catches a routine fly to right field. Since most of the regulars in my section were not there, I had moved over a couple of seats to hang over the right field wall. Markakis runs in as he does he looks my way. I do the international gesture for “throw me the ball:” hands go up.
He tosses it my way as he goes by! I am such a kid.
I had my camera in my hand so I almost crushed it while catching the ball.
One of the better moments in a dismal 5-1 loss at Camden Yards. Orioles are kind of lifeless right now. They’ve reverted to the mode they were in at the end of 2009: cruise control. We need the pod people back.
Why are Japanese ska bands so ridiculous? Is this how ska would’ve sound like if everyone still loved listening to it?
I can’t believe I hadn’t posted this as a cycling link before. They sell awesome bikes. Pricey, but I am wanting to get a Pegoretti.
Even I didn’t think that I could have a more pathetic ride on my bike than last Saturday, but I was wrong. I did 3.5 miles of really terrible biking this evening. Just got back.
The journey of a million miles always starts with the first few miles. I decided to try out a route that I want to do for an early morning quick work out. It’s just around the block using the cover of a park trail as a small bit. I wanted to see how out of shape I was. And I really am. I don’t have any power in the legs and applying what little I got hurts. Plus it took all my will power to keep the gearing in a moderate setting lest I resort to the granny gear for the flats. If not for the downhill run, this would’ve been a twenty minute outing.
I suck. Yet, I can only get better.
I’ve seen terrible movies, and I’ve seen terrible movies so bad their good. And then there’s Bad Teacher. Don’t watch it.
Someone tell me why Cameron Diaz got to open a movie? Is she still a star? For a second there, I thought that they filmed this movie a few years ago when Diaz and Justin were an item. The studio at that time knew how terrible a movie this was. They dumped it here when it was time enough to recoup there investment. Considering it made some moola this weekend, they may just get the money back.
It is bad.

Jim Emerson blogs about the warning affixed to a movie theatre's screening of Terence Malick's "The Tree of Life." It's not like the MPAA's warnings of violence and sex, but a warning that the film is arty. It may be too arty for some folks. I figure that if you are making the choice to watch "The Tree of Life" then you already know what you're getting into. It's Malick. You should know by now his M.O. His movies are what they are.That being said, I wish there was a warning for Bad Teacher. To wit: "Warning: Watching Bad Teacher has been known to cause cancer in lab rats."http://blogs.suntimes.com/scanners/2011/06/detour_theres_an_arty_road_ahe.html
