Day 989834

So, I know it’s been a while, and for good reason. I mean, quite simply put, I have been bored with baseball. Plus, the sheer fact of cheering for the darkside was reason enough to find other things to do with my time. There was TPC in early May. Anyone could tell you that I absolutely love that course and love that tournament. There were a bunch of movies releasing that me and my girl saw (four in may alone). All in all, I just found other things to do than write this blog. But, I figured it was time to write again. I was inspired by my friend’s wife. She posted her blog update to Facebook about her SuperMom self. After reading it, I felt like I should write something today. So, here I am.

The “Mom”trepeneur - First of all, let me give praise to my friend’s wife. My friend “L” is “almost common law” married to “SM” (super mom). They have two kids. Two adorable kids at that. Anyhow, she often gives us updates about what she is working on for parties and activities. See, she makes custom piñatas for kids parties and they are the dopest piñatas I’ve ever seen (as far as kid’s piñatas go. I’ve seen some adult themed ones that were pretty effin fresh). Anyhow, this girl gets down. It seems like every day has an update about what she is doing for these kids and I admire her for that. I even read her blog about being a super mom. I have no kids, yet. But, I still find her blog to be informative and entertaining. If you get a chance, check out her page HERE. Pretty sweet piñatas.

TPC - In true Jacksonville fashion, the weather the week before the tournament was amazing. 70’s during the day and low 60’s at night with a cool breeze. Then, right before the tournament, it got hot as fuck. I mean, really hot. Last year I made it to all the practice days, which is the highlight of the tournament to me. Pictures and autographs all day long. This year was no different. I made it to all the practice days. I got a few highlight pieces signed. My 2011 Masters flag signed by winner Charl Schwartzel. I got my 2010 US open Pebble Beach flag signed by winner Graeme McDowell. I also got my 2010 PGA Championship flag signed by winner Martin Kaymer. Before he signed that, he signed a ball that he was using and handed it to me. So, for me, complete success. The only thing I didn’t get signed was my 2010 Masters flag. Oh Phil, how I hate you so… anyhow, I even got a tourney day in as I went to see Tiger play the 9th, and then he was done. He’s starting to act like a little spoiled child. Face it dude, you just ain’t as good as you were a few years ago. Maybe you are that good, but everyone is better now. I don’t know, but what I do know is you need to get your shit together and start playing golf and having fun. Sorry for the rant, but I had enough. I shifted my golf fan-ship to Kaymer for the fact that he gave me a ball. A simple gesture and all of a sudden he had the dude at the tournament with the best kicks on, and most gangsta attitude, in his corner.

Movies – I joined this movie pool and quickly became this year’s bonehead picking Priest to finish in the Top 10. It had so much going for it. Maggie Q and her recent mainstream success (Nikita). 3D film about vampires that was rated PG-13. They marketed that movie since Jackass #d (when I first saw the trailer). I thought it was a lock. Instead, it got beat out by Bridesmaids. Hell, I didn’t even go see it after the opening weekend reviews. But, I did manage to see four flicks. Fast 5 was surprisingly pretty darn good. A lot of action and a really good plot. I would recommend that movie to anyone really. Thor was good as well. It was better than I thought it would be. It kept me entertained and I would download it (for free) when the BluRay rip hit newsgroups. Hangover 2 was a fuckin blast. I am planning on seeing it again in theatres. I was rolling for two hours straight. Pirates 4 was the least favorite of these 4. Just another Pirates movie with cool costumes and scenery. I’m not a Penelope Cruz fan so her voice got annoying really quick. There are a few more movies I want to see this summer and will update you with how I think they are.

Anyway, as you can see I just delayed the blog again. I totally got sidetracked. However, this week, starting tomorrow, I will be a full-fledged Yankee fan. I’m not sure if they want me or not, but I don’t care what they want. Let me work on being a rude New Yawker. This ought to be interesting. Hopefully, I have readers left. I know I was up to about 6 people following the blog but kind of let em all hanging. Stay tuned folks. There is much more profanity to come.

EDIT: I forgot to tell you about my trip to the Farmer’s Market. It wasn’t like the ones in L.A. Those tend to focus more on the entertainment and prepared foods than it does the local produce, but this one here was different. It was all about local ingredients and it was for sure that peaches were in season. You could smell the fresh peaches throughout the whole market. I picked up chiles and peppers to make chili verde and boy it came out great. Tomatillos and green chiles highlighted my buy. My girl picked up some sweet mangoes and I had one for the first time and it was AMAZING. I want to try and go once a week to pick up fresh ingredients to make something on Sunday nights. Anyhow, this is what I created, at midnight…


I leave you on this note as I pay homage to Sunday nights with Huggy Boy…
“This is dedicated to my man Flaco. I can’t wait to see you when you get home (from jail). I miss you baby and can’t wait to have your baby (even though I’m 15 and you’re 30).” At least that’s how I heard the dedications…
