Fire Them Cannons!

Last weekend, Ken and I took the red-eye flight to Tampa, FL for our annual Buccanners home game. We were playing the awful Seattle Seahawks who did not even put up a fight. They just kinda laid down, and... died. Oh wells, we're not gonna complain, we'll just take the win. 5-2 baby! Going into this weekend's game against the Romo-less Dallas Cowboys. Hopefully we pull out another win and get to 6-2. No team has not made the playoffs with that record at the season's halfway mark. Go Bucs!

One More Time!

This past weekend, I was in beautiful Irwindale, CA. at the Toyota Speedway for the Formula Drift Finals. And what a weekend it was. Congrats to Tanner Foust for winning the Formula Drift Championship once again. This championship marks the first time anyone has won the championship in back to back seasons. Way to make history, Tanner and thanks for giving Toyo Tires a back to back championship. Many thanks for fellow Toyo Tires driver, Takatori for knocking out Sam Hubinette in the great 8 round handing Tanner the championship.

LA Angels killing trees!

As you might already know, the LA Angels lost to the Boston Red Soxs (Again!) last night and officially ended their season. I say it was a disappointing season considering that we were predicted to win the World Series. We have all these regular season accolades like, KRod's save record, first team to clinch a playoff berth and so on... and for what? The boys are probably planning their vacations as we speak and the rally monkey will be locked away for the season. (Lets hope they lock him up forever) Well, now all we can do is plan for next season. I say let Francisco Rodriguez walk and resign Mark Teixeira at all cost. I was all pumped up when I saw these Angels World Series tickets but I guess its not meant to be. They're just scrap paper now, maybe we can do our part to save the environment by putting them to good use to jot down some hot girl's phone number or something. Better luck next year, boys. Go Angels!

Scrap paper.

My friend was going to sell these tickets for mad money. Sorry Jose, we won't be making it rain in Vegas!
