FOOTBALL IS BACK DAMNIT!!!!

Yes...Fantasy Football is Back.
Tonight we had our draft of my first league (ESPN).
Which also means, that beginning tonight I start my quest for a 3-peat in this league.

I have another draft on August 24th (CBS Sportsline), which I am defending my championship in that league, also.
Then the autodraft for the league with Riss (Yahoo).

But my ESPN league is different than most leagues, because we deal with Individual Defensive players and we give credit for return yards. This is who I ended up drafting.
QB: Donovan McNabb
RB: Rudi Johnson
RB/WR: Thomas Jones
WR: TJ Houshmanzadeh
WR: Marques Colston
WR: Hines Ward
TE: Alge Crumpler
DT: Shaun Rogers
DE: Kamerion Wimbley
LB: Donnie Edwards
CB: Justin Miller
S: Gibril Wilson
DB: Antrel Rolle
Def Play: Bart Scott
Def Team: Eagles D/ST
K: David Akers
P: Scott Player

Bench: Donte Stallworth WR, Chad Pennington QB, Jamal Lewis RB, Greg Jennings WR, Will Demps S, Chris McAlister CB, Chike Okeafor DE

Just waiting for the football season to start.
Plus Madden coming out on August 14th.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

Gotta Love the Japanese

There have been many gifts from our friends in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Nintendo
Sony
Iron Chef
Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (Takashi's Castle in Japan)
But I am hooked on a show that's on G4 if you're lucky to get it.
It is Ninja Warrior.
It is pretty much an obstacle course stretched out through many stages.
Where you have to beat 4 different levels...with each level getting progressively harder.
I end up watching this show every time it's on TV.

Check out the video.

Oooh...boy...Rock n Roll...ROCK ON...ooh my soul!!!!

Well...went to Toronto over the weekend for my cousin's 40th birthday.
Put this on my schedule for a few weeks, especially when I found out this was an 80's party.

So....the original plan was to borrow a Member's Only jacket from my co-worker.
Then I put it on with my aviator glasses...and it looked ok.
Then I decided to go as an 80's basketball player...so we bought girls x-tra large shorts...and I wore my retro Houston Rockets Jersey.

But it still didn't feel right.
So we went to Value Village in Scarborough...and we found it.
The Yellow Mesh Shirt. Then we bought a sweatshirt to go over it and cut it up.

All props goes to my sister's bf Reiner...as he helped get the outfit together...and was a great partner in crime to pose for all of the cameras.

Well...after all was said and done...about 30 people dressed up in 80's outfits out of the 100 plus that was there. I loved our outfits, and loved them more when I saw that we were some of the few that followed the theme.

What do you guys think? BTW...I will play Guitar Hero 80's in this outfit.

Softball...Not for Wusses

A few weeks ago, my sisters boyfriend kept asking if I want to play softball. I said no, because I haven't played any sport on a diamond in a long time.
Well, after going to one of his practices, I decided...why not....the guys on the team are friends and are cool to hang out with.
Well Fast Forward to 2 weeks later....it's alot tougher than I originally thought. My arm has been hurting the last couple of days trying to make the throw from 3rd to First.
Now...those that know me, know that I am all about basketball, football, and volleyball (which I plan to get back into). After playing basketball for 6 hours, my body does hurt all over.
I didn't expect the same soreness from playing softball.

I just have to say...softball is no joke. well...fielding isn't a joke...but hitting a slo pitched ball is pretty damn easy. Found out we'll be the only ALL asian team in the league, so that should be interesting.

anyways....you know things have gotten out of hand with it...the minute you hear that I slid to get to base.

Transformers..Again, Softball, and i'm a MAID OF HONOR!!!!

Another weekend.
I took Sheils to watch Transformers.
Good movie. Really cool to watch. Still have my little beefs with it.
But at least watching it a 2nd time, some things make more sense to me.

Also became a softball guy. Decided to join my sister's boyfriends softball team. Was telling Maria...if I get to the point of sliding into a base...i've gone to the point of no return.
but looks like i'll be drinking some beers after every game. or slurpees.

Cooler news....I will be a MAID OF HONOR. or...really a Man of Honor. One of my best friends, Kristina, is getting married next year. So she asked me to be her Maid (Man) of Honor. of course i said sure. How many guys can say they were a Maid (Man) of Honor.
So now I just have to plan the bridal shower (Female Strip Club) and bachelorette party (Transgender Strip Club)

TRANSFORMERS...MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!!!!

Saw transformers the movie today.

good movie to watch in the theaters...but far from being the perfect Transformers movie.

Great to hear the original Prime's voice. Megatron's voice (Hugo Weaving) was also good.
However, way too much focus on the human characters, especially a lot of characters that had no point or were annoying (i.e. Hackers, Secretary of Defense, and Sector 7).

Camera's were too erratic, especially during the fight sequences.
Movie was 2 h 23 min...about 30 minutes longer than it needed to be.

Action was still pretty good though...and definitely got it ready for a sequel. Just great to see Transformers on the big screen.

Megan Fox is god damn hot (Although she's engaged to Brian Austin Green). I liked Shia LeBeouf as the lead. Army guys worked well too.
Wish the transformers had more of a look similar to the cartoons, but it still worked. That's just me being particular.
Really cool to see a lot of Detroit in the movie...the last fight sequences were filmed in Downtown Detroit. As well as the Train Depot.

Afterwards the bro-in-law and I went on a Transformer toy hunt...only to end up buying one Transformer.

Was very disappointed that Starscream didn't say...YES ALMIGHTY MEGATRON.

What do you guys think of the movie?

I was fooled!!!

I remember a couple of years ago when I was renting a porno DVD.
I saw this girl on the cover and saw the title Cinderella.
I thought, cool...she looks hot. I have never seen her before.
Worth checking out.
Then I get home.
Pop the DVD in...and the title pops up.
It's not Cinderella, it's GENDERELLA
So to my confusion, i'm just sitting there shocked and pissed.
Then the first scene comes along...yes....A CHICK WITH A DICK.
I kept thinking....but she has a nice rack.....but with a dick.
Well...after fast forwarding through the movie (out of curiosity), I returned it.

It was officially the only time i've ever been embarrassed renting porn.

Now tell me that you wouldn't be confused.
