Everybody's working for the weekend

A few random thoughts...
  • Flipped by halftime of the NBA All-Star game, and I have to say, Rihanna looks like she would be well built for porn.  Don't read to much into this thought, not casting aspersions on the young lady's character, just saying if the singing thing doesn't take off, she's got the equipment to be a fine matress actress.  Sometimes you see pornstars, like that little pixie Charlie Sheen has been throwing down, and wonder about the physics of the whole thing.  But I suppose if those folks at the Renaissance Festival can swallow swords, shouldn't read too much into this.  All I know is I'd rather have a python wrapped around my neck than Rihanna's thighs if she were angry.  Actually scratch that thought, could be fun, kind of like a reverse rodeo.

  • What's the fascination with watching fat people on TV?  I never got The Biggest Loser intrigue, and now there's this "Heavy" show that's basically doing the same thing?  If you're fat and watch this show for inspiration, it's not working.  How do I know?  Because you're on the couch watching TV!!!  I think a nation full of obese people sitting on their asses watching the morbidly obese struggle to lose weight qualifies as irony.  And if you're thin and watch this stuff, that's like rubbernecking at a car crash, mind your business sicko.  Maybe I'm just bitter because they stole the title of my autobiography for their show.

  • Are you like me, when you are one of those infomercials for exercise equipment, and a hot chick is gyrating or bouncing up and down on a piece of equipment that's out of the frame, do you take a moment to imagine yourself as that piece of equipment?

  • By my count, there are 10 types of weekends: 1. Bender (only plan is to drink from start to finish)  2. Sick (never leave the house, nor have the desire to)  3. Snow (want to leave the house, but can't, usually spend hours outside shoveling and end up with a sick weekend soon after) 4. Roadtrip (hitting the road with the buddies, goes hand-in-hand with the bender) 5. Event (wedding, birthday, other major centerpiece which things hinge around) 6. Long (a Friday or Monday off means all standard practices go out the window and zaniness ensues) 7. Overbooked (what should be fun stuff becomes un-fun because there's just too much of it happening) 8. Sneaky Friday (plan for a mellow weekend falls by the wayside in the face of an over-the-top Friday, shockwave affects everything) 9. Recovery (sometimes you've just gotta lay low and recharge the batteries) 10. Final Five (in a class by itself, more to come on this later)

  • It's been a lousy winter, and people laugh at us idiots who live in Minnesota, but this Saturday my plan is to watch my Burnsville high school team play the hated Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars in a section semifinal at noon, catch the Sioux game on TV at 3:30, the hit up the Gopher game at 7:00.  Frankly I feel that evens a lot of stuff out.  Not everything, but a lot.
Happy Friday folks, I'm thirsty already...
