In Other News... (7/11/08)
See, I told you that I’m bad at staying consistent at writing. But Todd keeps coming into the news room and saying stuff like, “I wrote about this on my blog…” or “yeah, I mentioned that on my page today…” Don’t let Todd fool you, he’ll make fun of blogs, but I think he secretly enjoys having one. Or at least one where he can put up a picture about “big ass beers”
Anyway, I have another random thought to share with you today. The other day someone mentioned something being better than sliced bread. Is sliced bread that great to begin with? Was it that trying to get a knife in the days before pre-sliced bread? If you take that into consideration most things are actually better than sliced bread. I think “better than frozen pizza” would be a better analogy, especially if it’s french bread pizza. Just something to think about…
Also 7/11 Stores should be giving free slurpees away today. And I should get my own slurpee machine for thinking of that idea.
Correction:
The last time I blogged, I mentioned that Ben Gordon would be a bust. I meant Eric Gordon. I hate it when I mix up names like that.

So I’m supposed to write more for the website…
No problem, I love to write. Having time to write; well that’s a different story. I’ve tried on many occasions to get in a writing groove, only to get busy with various things (running a newsroom, my wife and I having a baby, Tiger Woods on the Wii…) and then forget to write for months on end. But my bosses want me to give it another shot. Just write down your random thoughts (all of them?) they say…
So here goes nothing…
After further review, it is impossible to listen to Bon Jovi without singing along. Seriously, it can’t be done. Last night I was cleaning up in the kitchen with the mp3 player set to random. “Bad Medicine” comes up on the play list and within seconds I’m singing (poorly) “that’s what you get for falling in love…” while my wife is in the other room wondering what exactly is wrong with her husband.
So I explained to her my Bon Jovi theory, which didn’t help with her thinking something was wrong with me. Seriously though, next time you see Deadliest Catch on Discovery, just try not to sing “Dead or Alive” at the beginning of the show. It’s like trying to keep your eyes open while sneezing. Can’t be done.
This is what happens when people ask me to write down my random thoughts.
While I’m here, I’m might as well get a couple of sports related thoughts out there. First; am I the only Reds fan who is convinced they are going to turn it around after every win, only to be disappointed when they lose the next six? It’s no fun being an optimistic person sometimes.
Also, Jamar Butler won’t get drafted tonight, yet Ben Gordon from Indiana will. Somehow this makes sense. Gordon fell apart for the Hoosiers this past season, yet he has upside potential and a high motor, or whatever buzz words the draftnicks are using to talk themselves into a bust this year. In the meantime, Butler has great range and was actually born without nerves, making him a good fit for the role of an NBA guard. He’s played at a high level for four years. He’d be perfect for a team with the need for a shooter, yet will probably be playing in Italy.
Makes sense to me I guess…
