You Don't Mess With the Zohan


Yeah, please listen to me when I say DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN, and not because Sandler got all roided our for this roll(he does have good abs). Mostly because you will want two hours of your life back. Here is the little secret, you aren't getting it back. I am guessing because Mike Meyers made the abortion of a movie the Love Guru, Sandler being a SNL alum didn't want him to be the only one. Terribel, just terrible. Better than Norbit? Yes. Better than Date Movie? Oh, God yes. Better than much else? Not really.

On of the saddest thing (other than Michael Buffer playing a role in this movie) Is the poor writting by Judd Apatow I normally find the movies his name are put on the pretty damn funny side, but not this time. A few bright spots would be the cameos by Jon McEnroe George Takei, Bruce Vilanch, MAriah Carey, Kevin James, and Chris Rock (his family got hacked up). But really other than that a D would be the highest I could go.




Big plans upcoming first in the Blog world I will have thoughts on the UFC and Affliction fights. And JB not sure which guy you don't like but, Tim Silvia got $800,000.00 to fight Fedor. That got me to thinking, I wouldn't take it. I'd be drinking my dinner through a straw for the rest of my like and talking through a machine like Stephen Hawkings. Now would I like Jamie Lou fight Fedor? No, I am not an animal people. Geez.


Also along the lines of the fights will be my thoughts on Mediacom, and how I am 95% sure I am getting a dish. More on those douche bags in another post, they may need an entire post dedicated to them. A-holes.


Also comming up, Jamie Lou is off to KC to see her sister and our nephew and her parents. So that should be a great trip for her. I a lucky enough to have an IBM guy coming in to work the next week, so I will be getting prepped for that most of the weekend (all of sunday for sure).

Speaking of the weekend, finally going to get the rest of the pool paving finished up at the folk's. Some nice friends have a greed to work for beer, pizza, and a swim on Saturday. So Jamie B, Joe V, 80's Paul, Dave, Rusty and others. Pray for no rain, It would be nice to get that project DONE!

Thursday Concert, great food, and better friends




Good times had by all. Last night Jamie Lou and I went to the Centro (chen - tro) to have some pizza and drinks before heading over to the Simon Estes Amphitheater to catch Matt Natahanson for Nitefall on the River. More on that in a bit. So back to Centro. Our friend Derek Eidson is a chef at Centro, and he is always trying new and inventive things and he tells us next week he is putting Gnocchi on the menu, But not just any Gnocchi, he is making a Ricotta Gnocchi over braised goat meat. Jamie Lou and my anniversary is coming up, so I think I know where we are going next week. And hey, they have lemon chellos :)

Nightfall on the River started with opener The Damon Dotson Band. And they were a great sound to sit on the lawn and drink a cold 312 to, so I did. Before we go any farther, man was it packed! I have been once or twice and it never seemed to be full up like last night. I guess you get a pleasant night and some good sounding bands and they will come. The main act was Matt Nathanson for some unknown reason to me we found it funny to call Nate Mattahanson. Lame I know. They were also fun to listen to. A much more polished band that TDDB, they were also a lot more playful with the croud. Lots of participation. And free tickets from the Pricipal is always a bonus too. While they whole night was a little teenage girl pop-rock for me we had a great time, and made it out just before the rains came. And once it started, man did it rain!

Upcoming events:

  • Tonight (Friday): Jamie Lou is off to the I-cubs tonight. I am off to Thad's un- surprise birthday party at 3-bag.
  • Saturday: we are thinking a day at the pool and then UFC fight night and the Affliction MMA card (which looks to have the best heavyweights ever on one card)
  • Sunday: maybe the pool again with dinner at Mi Mexico With Rusty and Shannon (mmmmm margaritas)


Tried a new font size, wondering if it will be easier to read?!?! only one way to see, time to post.
