Sorry, you are too good to play here

Remember back in the day of the playground games and gym class where you picked teams?  There was always that kid that got picked last all of the time.  It sucked but it is a part of the human brain that says, “I must win and you will not help me”.  I came across a story about a 9 year old boy who is now being told he is “too” good at baseball to play with the other kids.  WTF?!?  Are you f’ing kidding me people???  Since he has excelled at baseball and throws harder than the other kids, the league has banned him from pitching and are now disbanding his team to make it fair for the other teams.  Now mind you, his team is already 8-0 and moving right into the playoffs.  Sounds like a little league conspiracy to me.

Conspiracy theory note: Jericho’s coach and parents say the boy is being unfairly targeted because he turned down an invitation to join the defending league champion, which is sponsored by an employer of one of the league’s administrators.

Jericho instead joined a team sponsored by Will Power Fitness. The team was 8-0 and on its way to the playoffs when Jericho was banned from pitching.

I am sorry folks, but I dare…no I double dog dare the local little league here in Douglas County to say my son is too good at football or baseball or the local ballerina team.  They will have one pissed off Blogger on their hands.  :-)

If you would like to read the story, it can be found at 9 year old told he is too good.

People, stop trying to belittle kids because you think they cannot compete with a good player.  Let them challenge themselves and prove a point.  You might be surprised to know that there are a lot of good athletes out there among all of the boys and girls.  Most parents just try to protect their kids and it forces them to walk away.  If my son was in his league, I would tell him to go out and knock the f’ing cover off the ball or strikeout swinging and stand tall knowing oyu tried.  Stop telling your kids to back down, encourage them people.  And you wonder what is wrong with our kids anymore…maybe look at some of the parents.

DNC update

Here we are folks in the middle of downtown Denver (aka LoDo) and the freaks, politicians, protesters and me are roaming like weeds in the ghetto backyards.  I have already seen the weirdos, the nut cases and the political wars in just one short day.  Some of the funnier ones have been the ladies all over the 16th Street Mall with their Hillary Clinton signs and wearing their Hooters for Hillary shirts.  I hope to have a picture of the shirt soon.

Now I asked 4 ladies very nicely the exact same question, “Why support someone who has no chance at even running for President?”.  Now the answer may blow your mind, but please brace yourself for this…”Because she is our best option for President”  “Hillary is the answer for everything”

After lifting myself off the ground from laughing I proceeded to the train and just shook my head.

I got home and decided to check out what everyone else is seeing and hearing and came across this little Hillary Delegate versus Hillary supporter.  Yes you read that right.

So if McCain wins, we all end up in the toilet…that is a pretty shi**y comment to make.  :-)  Sorry, had to say it.  I do love it when she gets the “Oh crap I am cornered” feeling and basically says the problem is that the Democrats keep picking losers.  God this is going to be a great week.

What is World Peace?

With the DNC now in Denver and in high gear, I started to think “why is everyone so mad?”.  I left work today from Downtown Denver and all hell was breaking loose.  There was protesting going on everywhere.  People were protesting the war, gay and lesbian crap, religious crap, political crap and so on.  I actually read a couple of signs that said, “Homo sex is Sin” and “Gay sex is destroying the World”.  Holy homo erotica Batman, what will we ever do to stop this crime wave of GAY SEX?!?  Are you kidding me people?  Do you actually have proof that gay sex is destroying the World?  I mean, is gay sex the root of all Global Warming issues?  By the way, “Homo sex is Sin”, where the **** did you learn your English from?  I am wondering though, did (insert religious figure name here) tell you that Homo sex is a sin?  My guess is no, you just came up with that thought from “your” understanding of the Bible or sand-script or cowboy hat or whatever you get your religious words from.

Okay, back to my point.  What is the definition of World Peace?  Some say World Peace is loving each other and everything and the right to enjoy life to it’s fullest.  I think not people.  To me, World Peace is not a feeling, it is something that happens.  When I have “great sex” I get a feeling of Peace and Harmony but that is not World Peace.  This is a complicated phrase and it can mean so many things to so many people.  I will give you the answer to World Peace shortly.

There are groups all over the World that think they have the “answer” to World Peace.  Take for example, answercoalition.org, which uses the phrase ANSWER as their slogan.  They claim that ANSWER means, act now stop war end racism.  WTF?!?  Why is everything in this World have to come down to Racism?  I know, because you will always blame Racism like the tree humpers of the world blaming Global Warming.  They actually chant stuff like this, “1 2 3 4 we don’t want this f***ing war!”.  Who wants war you friging morons, it is a way of life.  It happens and it will always happen.  I heard Penn and Tellerexplain that this group needs to change ANSWER to mean, assholic nimrod socialist wads end racism.  I sort of agree with this, but 100%.  If I were to help market this ANSWER group it might mean something like this, anarchy narcissistic socialist whacko end retardation.  FYI, this group was formed right after 9/11/01, whcih we all know what day that was.  Guess what dumbs**ts, terrorist groups are not racists…they target everyone based off of their geographic location.  Funny thing is this, they run around in red shirts trying to promote the idea of not going to war.  Did you realize that red is the color of rage?  My guess is, no, considering after we listened to you it came across as you had a third world education.  25+ years old with the intelligence of a 5 year old jackal.

Okay let’s move on to the next group of “retards”.  Code Pink is another mentally challenged group, codepinkalert.org.  This is a group that has a slogan, Women for Peace.  But yet, in watching this group they are about 50% men and 50% women.  I think the slogan should be rethought and redone.  Just a thought.  They are currently promoting their new march or protest, Don’t Bomb Iran!  Now I want you to look very closely at this banner from their site…very closely.

Is it me, or does that say “Don’t Iraq Iran!” in the background test???  Maybe I am a bit to manly to understand this but what in the **** does “Don’t Iraq Iran” mean?  Are you trying to say in a very Martha Stewart way, Don’t do to Iran what we are currently doing to Iraq?  If it is, go home and bake me a f***ing pie and shut the **** up.  I cannot wait to run into this “pink” group during the DNC this week.  People if you want to protest, make some f***ing sense out of it.

Okay, so my theory is this.  People protest to just get their feelings out and to have their voice heard.  That is fine, we live in a country where we promote free speech.  But let me tell you something, if you want to protest and challenge people…then be prepared to defend your cause.  When someone, like myself, challenges your debate of whatever you are protesting…then seem like you know something and have an intelligent response or defense.

Secret to World Peace - This is actually very simple folks.  Money, dinero, green backs, cash.  Trade.  Financial inter-dependence.  As long as money is flowing from country to country adn there is trading going on and people are making a financial gain, they will be happy and the countries will get along.  That is my version of World Peace.

I will have the play by play on any and all protest confrintations from the DNC week here in Denver.

p.s.  Qdoba is promoting a new campaign, “Burritos for Obama”.  That is funny.  Thanks for the shirt by the way, Pedro loves it.
