I SOOOOOOO hope Pedro Martinez gets his ass handed to him now that he's a Met. After reading this article and hearing him say he didn't deserve to be behind Schilling in Boston, I hope he sucks so badly the first couple weeks that the Mets throw him behind Glavine (who, quite frankly, deserves to start over Pedro anyway for the simple fact that Tommy at least understands what it's like to be on a TEAM and not be worried about who's number one in the rotation!). Now he's lobbying to get his catcher from Boston to follow him to the Mets. When asked what the Mets should do with Piazza, Pedro said "We can move him to first or somewhere. ... I want 'Tek. 'Tek is a good player, a good catcher." What a conceited, self-centered, arrogant little man ... I can't wait for the first NL pitcher to bean his ass and get in HIS head. Boston won DESPITE their cancerous tumor known as Pedro Martinez. I really don't think the Mets will be so lucky.

Quite possibly the best idea I've heard to make air travel bearable.
security camera ogling ... hehehehe.
Quik poll ... if you were given the gazillion lenses of casino monitoring devices, would you use them to zoom in on an occasional hottie?
Where DOES the time go? I can’t believe it’s been an entire week since my last post. My apologies. I hope to make it up to everyone with a fairly substantial post (unlike the quasi-posts/polls/links I’ve left as of late). Enough prefacing, here we go.
Why didn’t anyone ever tell me that my holiday-related joy would diminish in a seemingly linear progression inversely proportional to my age? (read: the older I get, the less joy I experience around the holidays)
It seems rather cruel to have let me stumble upon this fact myself. Someone should have warned me. I could’ve prepared. Now I’m just kinda saddened by the facts before me. There’s no giddy anticipation of what I’ll find under the tree (hell, I bought most of my own presents and gave them to people to give to me). Most of the things I’ll find under the tree I won’t have time to use. There’s no “magic” of Santa Claus and his reindeer or Frosty and his top hat. The weather has been as ugly as possible (even for the Lehigh Valley) with wind, rain and gloom replacing cool, crisp air and flurries. There’s no possibility of a “snow day” or an “early dismissal” so it’s hard to even hope for a White Christmas. There’s much more “I only need to buy X presents yet” and much less “I’m going to get X presents”. I can’t forget about the “I only need to work until March to payoff these gifts” instead of the “I’m not going to have to work until March with all this Christmas money”. I find myself looking forward to January and a new fiscal year as much as Christmas and the end of this one.
Maybe next year will be different. Maybe the depressing progression is cyclical and it’ll reverse someday.
The sky outside my office window looked exactly the same from when I got here around 9:00am until now (about 4:00pm).
When I first opened my eyes this morning, I had no idea what time it was. By the amount of light pouring through my windows, I had guessed that it was about 6:00am. Much to my dismay, the clock showed almost 8:00am! I casually reached over and adjusted my alarm clock to patiently refrain from waking me for another half hour. When that half hour passed, I was disappointed to see that it was still no brighter than it had been.
It took a lot more effort than usual to motivate my ass to get out of bed this morning and, while I was pretty productive on a very slow day at work, I almost regret getting up in the first place. These typically overcast days in the valley are GREAT for staying in bed and reading ALL day. I haven’t done that in quite a while now and I miss it. Gloomy day, comfy clothes, warm bed, silent house and a good book make for a great day of escape.
Hmmm ... Philly, Verizon deal lets WiFi plan go forward
