Since some of my friends can't spell "bodacious" or "awesome", I've decided to change lanes and move my blog to:
http://ikbmills.blogspot.com/
If you can't spell that then you should stab yourself in the heart with a screwdriver....or a sword.

Long Weekend
Good long weekend.
Why is the drive back from Montreal so much faster than the drive there? My car smells like a dead animal (because I ran over so many live ones on the way back).

That pretty much took me an hour to write.

I was so angry after my last post that I decided to punch this dog in the face. Fuckin asshole had it coming...
Sometimes I hate life
There have been only a few moments in my life where I felt like a failure/nobody. For guys, this is usually around the age of 18 or a bit older, when athletes start getting drafted out of high school and you think to yourself "if I didn't smoke weed all the time and party on weekends, and instead read the Bible and trained like Carl Lewis, I coulda been like him!". I sorta felt like that for a brief moment in high school, but quickly realized I wasn't that good at sports (I'm not one of those dudes that can't throw or anything, nor was I the last to get picked, I was pretty much in the middle, but didn't really like team sports because of the whole "team" aspect). Anyways, the last time I felt inadequate was upon discovering that Bret Easton Ellis wrote Less Than Zero when he was still in college (he was like 20 or something....too lazy to look). I just had that feeling once again today when I discovered that Obama's head speech writer is a year older than me. Y'see, when I first heard that Jon Favreau was President Obama's speechwriter, I figured it was this Jon Favreau, not this Jon Favreau. Fuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhck.
Mid-late 20's crisis time.

Lost
I taped Lost from earlier in the week and watched it last night. This season kinda started off sucky, but now that they're 'splainin shit it's becoming quite satisfying. JJ Abrams can tell a story like whoa.
WHOA
Just saw this on Lords of Apathy.
I'd like to see someone do this shit on a fixie. Fuck this guy's got balls and talent.

Stuff
I usually have a routine every morning, where I'll come into work and do my usual morning rounds of news and sports sites, throw in a few blogs, then I get to work. Usually Huffington Post is part of this, so is Politico (as is the Globe, CNN, BBC News, and Bloomberg), but I don't know if it's me but HP seems to be turning into Us Weekly. They've also become extra shrill, and their use of exclamation marks is shameful. Politico, on the other hand, I used to think of as a right-wing politics blog, perhaps centerist-right would be more appropriate, but now they seem to be the one who has actual grown ups writing for them.
For example, one of the big headlines on HuffPo at the time of this writing is about a device called a "Kindle", which apparently is an electronic reader for either blind people (which would be good), or people too lazy to read things themselves (bad). Apparently this reader pronounces "Barack Obama", "Black Alabama". I know, a racist book-on-tape warrants 26-point, fire engine red typeface across the mast of a prominent news blog. That's some front page shit yo. The kindle hates our freedom.
I guess what's happening is that they're kind of turning into CNN. Remember when CNN wasn't all entertainment news, outrage, aerial view car chases, Anderson Cooper, and hot anchors? Christianne Ammanpour (I know I butchered her name, but am too lazy to look it up) was like the female Edward R Murrow, doin reports from the front lines in Kuwait during Desert Storm, reports from Gaza while gunfire rang out all around her. That dame has balls. Now it's all human interest shit that's just supposed to make people feel bad about their existence. "Y'see all these despondant children in the Congo? It's all your fault and there's nothing you can do about it, you're worse than Hitler". Also, why does everything now have to be a "Top Story"? Swine Flu: Top Story. Drew Petersen: Top Story. Madonna adopts a baby: Top Story.
Who gives a fuck? Think of all the big virus'/flu's/diseases you have heard of in the past 15 years (Ebola, hunta, mad cow, hoof and mouth, killer bees, SARS, bird flu, dengue fever, sudden infantile death syndrome). Remember how big a story they were at the time? Thank God I bought that hermetically-sealed bubble otherwise I woulda been fucked. Drew Petersen, some fucking crooked piece of shit cop murdered his wife (well, I guess they think he killed three of his wives), throw it in the police blotter not on the front page. People get murdered everyday in the States, not every single one needs to be put on national news because they're all equally terrible. And the whole celebrities adopting babies shit? We don't need to cater our news to middle-aged single white females that wear stirrup pants and own more than 2 cats.

Ah Fuck
ManRam tested positive for PED's apparently today and will get suspended for 50 games. Dude never looked like he was on Roids, and basically stayed in the same shape since his days in Cleveland (well, he did get a bit chubbier). Since they're labeling it "performance enhancing drugs", it's probably (hopefully) just speed or something. Baseball needs more guys that don't take baseball so seriously (like Kent, Bonds, Shef, Papelbon, basic run-of-the-mill asswipes in general).

AWESOMER
Fuck it's awesome watching a team that's good at sports, and it's even better when that team is the home team. Pretty much all my teams suck right now (Leafs, Niners, Raps, TiCats to an extent even though I only watch like 2 games a year).
Although I guess I like Man U, and they're apparently pretty good, playing in some "Champions" something final against some team from Spain or whatever. Who knew they played soccer in Spain?
But then again, I used to really like Arsenal too, which is like rooting for the Cubs and the Cardinals (didn't want to use the Sox/Yankees comparison because Chelsea/Arsenal would have been more appropriate for that, or ManU/Man City. I really don't know what I'm talking about). I dunno, I'm torn. I saw a game at Old Trafford about 9 years ago, was one of the better sporting events I've ever been to, but on the other hand Tierry Henry used to be my favorite player, and the Gunners were awesome when they had Overmars and Bergkamp.
I don't know, I guess living in North America makes it hard to really feel an emotional attachment to a European soccer team, maybe unless your old man rooted for them or your family is from there.
Soccer fans are also kinda big douche bags (sorry Sie, not you), they're like that random guy/girl that goes to a party, isn't very interesting so they talk extra loud to draw attention to themselves, only to be ignored and found later that night either passed out and covered in barf in your little brothers bedroom, or they "make a scene" in front of everyone and are escorted to a designated crying room with a bunch of girlfriends. Also, if you only kind of like soccer, don't tell that to a "real" soccer fan, they'll get mad at you. I don't really know why either. It's like you're trying to take their job or something.
They also treat soccer jerseys like dress shirts. Wearing a jersey to a bar, in the middle of the day, while watching a soccer game: that's okay. Wearing one to a bar, at night, not having just got back from a game: you probably work in IT and have all the episodes of Macross Plus on VHS.
But ya, the Jays are fucking bodacious.

Perfect jab that'll hurt your Dad?
Manny Pacquiao drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls.
Draft
Just saw Raptors GM Mo G and told him to draft Blake Griffin, so if they do you know who to thank.
Gossip
Celebrity news kinda drives me nuts, unless it involves Jack Bauer headbutting a dude over Brooke Shields. True story, I saw a dude post-headbutt at Hess once (HUGE mouse under his eye), he kept walkin around lookin for the head-butter, exclaiming, "who the fuck head butts anymore!?!?"
That guy, my friend. That guy...

I just saw some picture of that asswipe from Napoleon Dynamite and it made me wish that movie was never made.
Oh ya, picked up a new record player yesterday (I fee like a twat calling it a turntable when it's not a 1200 and I'm not a dj) from a local haunt. They do a pretty good deed by including a $75 vinyl credit with the purchase of said turn...record player. They have some fancier Rega and Music Something ones that are around 5 bills, but they require a pre-amp and the Sony I got was around 2 and change and is pretty much retard proof, although it's one of those automatic one's which can be annoying sometimes. Anyways, the other nice add-on with this piece is a USB cable which connects to your PC. Unfortunately it don't work for my Mac, but I'll figure a way around it (can you threaten a computer?).
So ya, with the credit (and then some, as they only sold "new" records, which basically means overpriced for the too lazy to look through 2nd-hand shops) I grabbed: a Social Distortion best of, a Die Kreuzen, a Misfits, Headhunters, Kill em All (nice n heavy 180g), Only Built 4 Cuban Linx LP, Straight Outta Compton LP, and two others I can't think of.
