March: No Spending Month
In an attempt to save a few pesos, i, along with (GFEB) will be spending no money on un-necessary items through the month of March. Records, DVDs, fast food lunches will all be off limits. I'm looking forward to the challenge and think it is a very good idea. Just to confirm this is a wise move, i had a terrible A&W Teen Burger combo today that tasted like it had been sitting around for far too long. All i can say is Bring On March!

Goodnight Sweet Prince
UPDATE - It's a year later, Favre did come back (to the Jets) for a forgettable season. He has since retired again, still making the above post relevant.

You Call That A Haircut?
And let me tell you something - that assumption would be correct. This, my friends, is the day No Country comes out on DVD. Sure there is no commentary and the extra features are minimal but it's still a wonderful film that everyone should see.
In fact, you can borrow my copy....just kidding.

Oh yeah.....the blog
Talk about dropping the ball. No posts for 3 months.
A lot has happened over the last few months. Nothing to gab about.
It's on to the future, not off to the the past. Am i right?

Know Your Ryan Howards'
With the baseball playoffs kicking off today and the new season of The Office starting last week it's time to examine the world of Ryan Howard. Both are young and successful and have big chips on their shoulders. One is likable and the other is not. One is a large black man and the other is a small white guy. Let's take a closer look:
Name: Ryan Howard
Job: Professional Baseball Player, Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies first baseman is the reigning NL MVP and a monster power hitter. At age 27 he is just beginning to hit his potential as an MLB all star. He batted .268 with 47 HR's and 136 RBI's this season. This October he plans to lead the Phillies back to the World Series for the first time since 1993.
Name: Ryan Howard
Job: VP Regional Sales, Dunder Mifflin
Since replacing Jan Levinson at Corporate Headquarters, Ryan Howard has become an even bigger wiener than when he was at the Scranton Branch. With a newly scruffed face and a taste for snappy powersuits he will quickly get under the skin of anybody he meets. This October he plans to have someone bring him a latte'.
Funny in 3 minute intervals.
The 33rd season of SNL premiered this past weekend which also meant the return of Andy Samberg's Digital Shorts.
Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the love interest of Samberg in this skit. He serenades him with the help of the Maroon 5 singer (you know, what's his name) and the resulting song is a classic. Apparently, it's already #1 on the Iranian billboard.
The piano song used is "Avril 14th" from The Aphex Twins 2001 album, Drukqs.
The "REAL" season is about to begin........
I'm sure many Canadian sport fans have had this date marked on their calenders for some time. The first day of the NHL regular season is here and frankly who gives a damn? (Honestly, if i hear one more comment on TSN about tonights Maple Leaf/Senators match up i'll fly to TO and personally rip Dave Hodge's toupee off his head.) More importantly it's the first day of the MLB playoffs. After a grueling 162 game (163 if you're the Rockies) it's time to get excited about baseball.
American League:
Indians Vs. Yankees
Red Sox Vs. Angels
National Leauge:
Cubs Vs. Diamondbacks
Phillies Vs. Rockies
With my beloved Dodgers out of the picture i'll be routing for the Cubbies this October. I figure with the average baseball game running 3+ hours i'll be looking at approximately 200 hours of baseball to watch in the next month. If only that was meant as a joke......

NL Races Far From Over
With less than a week remaining in the MLB regular season the National League playoff picture is cloudier than Barry Bond's urine. The NL West has three teams within 3 games of each other (D-Backs, Padres, Rockies) the Central has the Cubbies hanging on to a 2 game lead over the big battin' Brew Crew (Milwaukee) and in the East the Mets are doing everything possible to lose their lead to the Phillies. The Wild Card is just as close with at least 6 teams still in contention.
So who's going to be in? Cubs, Phillies, Padres, D-backs
More importantly, who do i want to be in? Cubs, Phillies, Mets, Rockies.
Gundy Goes Off
It wouldn't be football season without some coach blowing up at the media. After a WIN on the weekend, Oklahoma State's coach Mike Gundy decided to go bananas. I'm not sure what he was hoping the outcome would be, but the slow clap at the end is a nice touch. COME AFTER ME, I'M A MAN, I'M 40!!
It's not as impressive as Dennis Green's tirade last year (http://youtube.com/watch?v=m_N1OjGhIFc) but it's still pretty damn good.

Shabop Shalom
Nearly every review of Devendra Banhart's new album mentions the unmistakable horror of "Shabop Shalom." A 1950's doo-wop croon with a dash of Judaism. Let me be the first to say this song isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Sure it's not Banhart's most accessible song but neither is the album it comes from. Once you get past the akward spoken word intro it becomes a catchy little number that sticks out for it's originality much in the same way as Seahorse, Carmencita and Badgirl do. It's these risks that make each new Banhart album something to get excited about.
