So here's something i saw...

...Saturday night, and couldn't believe my ears for network TV. Thought it was tryin too hard to be "Dick in a Box", but it was pretty funny, none the less.

Unemployment is officially over!

After thirty-four days, I have a job. I got my dream part time cooking job (not dream real job, the position for official sleep-in-late-eat-ggod-food-and-make-100000-a-year hasn't become available yet) of cooking pizza back, not at Dion's or Venezzia's but at Mario's Pizzeria and Ristorante. Its pretty awesome. I make pizza for about 5 hours a day durring the week and 10 hours a day on the weekends...not ideal hours, but beggars can't be chosers. The best part about it is that i work next to a 70 something Italian imigrant who has been making pizza for upwards of fifty years. Thats a man who knows his pies. Then there's the funny awkward situations when his wife (mama, we call her) comes into the kitchen and starts yelling at Mario in Italian. I don't quite know what any of it means...but it sonuds pretty awesome. If I could chose a language to cuss people out in other than English it would have to be Italian...without a doubt!

A "Long" Time Coming

For anyone who is a fan of New Mexico sports, you probably won't be suprised to hear that Lobo Football head coach Rocky Long has resigned from the University of New Mexico. The eleven year former Lobo, Long said he was disappointed with the fans. Well lets examine this one first.

Rocky has been fighting an uphill battle against the fans from the start, as older fans were used to the style of former coach Dennis Franchoni. Fran was a passing coach; Rocky...well...he didn't do a whole lot of anything. The second problem was that not enough people remembered him from when he played here. What the news has been quick to tell people is that Long is the winningest coach in UNM history. Thats not hard to do as a mediocre coach over the course of eleven years. Long leaves with 62 wins which averages to 5.63 wins per season...not anything to write home about. Additionally, he has accumulated 69 losses, or 6.27 losses per season. I'm not saying its all his fault, however as a fan I do not coach the players; HE DOES.

Kiss the bung hole, Rocky. Kiss the bung.

I can't think of a clever title for this blog...but i hate reality TV.

So, I don't have cable...but my girlfriend does, and at times I'm glad I don't. She was watching this reality show on CMT making new Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. I am a fan of the Cowboys...and their cheerleaders. It's a love/hate relationship. Now that I have that out of the way, the show is as the spaniards say "el terrible". How stupid are these women? "Lets compete against other crazy women to be a cheerleader, and then when i get kicked off I'll freak the hell out because even though I'm WAY HOT, I'll listen to other women tell me how fat I am." Please. First of all, how mindless has TV gotten? Fuck reality television...I hate it. Second of all, I'm SURE Jerry Jones has got some money invested in this show. If he put HALF of that into strengthening the second string and the coaching staff, the Cowboys would be better than 6-4.

On a completely different thought but equally close to home, there need to be more button fly jeans. The risk of getting caught (and the pain) are WAY lower with button fly jeans. So in this world of endorsements, I endorse my old friend, the button fly. Eff you YKK.

It's day 18...

...of not having a job, and all my savings are now depleted with the check i gave the bank for my car payment. I now realize how shitty the economy and the job market are...or how bad my former employer says I performed. But on the bright side my academic advisor confirmed my suspicions that i will graduate in December! That's right world, the score is World 1, George 10,000! WHATS UP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
