Random Things I Shout at People from Street Corners
I'm at a break point in my script, so I took a few hours to get away from it.
The NHL lock out is over. I know that the NHL isn't very popular, but hey - I would love the NHL if I was the only person on earth who followed the NHL. And by sheer coincidence, I AM THE ONLY PERSON ON EARTH WHO FOLLOWS THE NHL.
I'm convinced that Commissioner Gary Bettman is a secret undercover mole sent by David Stern and the NBA to destroy hockey. Seriously. Thanks to Bettman, the league had two work stoppages, an entire season cancelled, the #4 major sport now gets worse ratings then bowling and spelling bee, went from a multi-million dollar network television contract to one that pays them no money, went from a multimillion dollar national cable contract with ESPN/ESPN2 to no cable contract, turned obstruction, holding, cheating goalies, and zero-zero ties into an art form, and has several struggling expansion teams in cities where they don't even have the engineering technology to build indoor ice rinks. What does Gary Bettman do for an encore? Use the Stanley Cup as a toilet?
Welcome back NHL. And if I see Gary Bettman, I'm dropping the gloves and pummeling him Stu Grimson-style.
Congrats to Dan Santat. His animated series, The Replacements was greenlit by Disney and will be coming to a television set near you in the fall of 2006.
My wife got a letter trying to get her to subscribe to PEOPLE magazine. This letter is awesome - they got her name and address of some mother's list, so they tailor the letter towards moms with passages like-
God bless the marketing folks at PEOPLE magazine. They either have no shame - or they're America's comedy geniuses.
Big hello to (judging by the comments section of the blog) the only person reading my blog right now. Phillip Donnelly is a friend from my days as a webmaster of a G.I.Joe collectors web site. He also, like me, graduated high school from behind the Orange Curtain (the O.C.) and graduated college from my alma mater, U.C. San Diego. You can check out his website at http://www.phillipdonnelly.com/.

PEOPLE. The perfect therapy for your mind, heart, and soul.
Steal moments with Johnny Depp or Jude Law over your morning coffee. Then, for an afternoon of pure bliss, curl up in your favorite armchair and catch up with friends old and new - like Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston.
The quiet moments you spend with PEOPLE are yours to savor all month long.
Your heart and soul will reap the benefits.
God bless the marketing folks at PEOPLE magazine. They either have no shame - or they're America's comedy geniuses.

See, this is why I stuck in a web counter in my blog. Not to look obnoxious by saying I've had so many hits, but to reassure myself that more than two people were actually reading this thing!
