What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
--Oscar Levant
It really is hard to be humble when you're as cool as I am.
So, yesterday I get a flat tire. It's a damn good thing I forgot to renew my AAA card or I wouldn't have had the pleasure of changing a tire on the wet ground in nice clothes. I really need to get a full sized spare, but at the same time, that would be a disaster as I wouldn't get around to actually replacing it until I got another flat...which would leave me with 2 useless tires. Maybe I should just invent some tires that can't go flat...it would save some time and money...and probably ruin my gas milage. Eh, screw it. I am as likely to invent a new tire as I am to invent a cold fusion powerplant.
First, the Patriots win a championship and become basically the newest dynasty in football, then USC creates it's own little mini dynasty after kicking the shit out of Oklahoma, even worse, the god damned Red Sox end up winning a championship. If the Celtics suddenly become the hot team of basketball, every single team my dad cheers for will be king. It's sickening really...I think he either sold his soul to the devil or the devil is taking an early retirement and promoted him to his spot. It would explain so many things, really. Well, I can't complain for at least another 3 years or so, my Angels won their championship back in '02. There's a 5 year limit to bitching about sports when that happens...so says the Sports Guy. You notice I didn't say Anaheim Angels...that would be because the new owner, who I was just starting to like, decided to rename them the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He should have gone all the way and had them sponsored by Enron...what a lame ass name. Besides the fact that Los Angeles means Angel which makes that name totally redundant, Anaheim is not in Los Angeles! I say, leave L.A. to that crappy Dodger team that's already there. Moreno, the owner, seems to think he can increase the marketeablility of the team with the inclusion of Los Angeles...sure, that worked for the Green Bay Packers. Oh wait, actually, Green Bay is a tiny city in the middle of the Wisconsin wasteland...deep breaths...anyways, the city of Anaheim is fighting this and hopefully they win. Not just because it's right, but because I really don't want to see my team with such a stupid name...I already have to root for the Mighty Ducks for christ sakes...speaking of which...where the hell is my hockey?
