Great then AWFUL now!

More and more as i get older, I try to reconnect w/ my childhood, since I dont have any toys anymore (except grown up toys) I cant do it that way, so now i have to rely on entertainment from the past to relive my younger days. Old TV shows, music & movies are all I have left, the problem is most of the SUCK! lol I apparently had awful tastes in movies, music & TV, back in the day. So here are a few examples of stuff I loved that is now AWFUL!


1.The Pirate Movie
Based on the musical Pirates of penzance its a tale of pirates & apparently how gay they can be. ITS TERRIBLE! Bad music, bad jokes, and overall just an awful tale. Now I do like musicals typically (No im not gay) but this is just PISS POOR! It stars Christy Macnichol & that dude from blue lagoon. I ordered it from amazon & I was hyped, even had my brother come over and have a few beers & were ready to laugh it up, only it didnt happen! lol


2.Saved by the Bell.
WOW this has been on A LOT recently, the episodes are so stupid, the acting is terrible & the stories are insane! I used to love this show! WHY? There are the classic episodes like the one where jesse is hooked on pain pills, or when Casey Kasem Drops by to do the sprain, Or when Jesses cousin, Comes from NY & is a cock to everyone, so they try to get a pic of hime stealing Principal Beldings car. They are are on & are all awful! The only one I still enjoy is the Zack Attack episode (again w/ Casey Kasem)but other than that I cant even stand to watch it when its on, I got to move on lol

3. Poison: Open up and say Ahh!
Now this was my JAM back in 5th grade. I got it because my mom wouldnt let me get Appetite for Destruction by GNR (Parental Advisory explicit lyrics) It rocked out w/ very profound lyrics! or so I thought, they are ridonk! Now everyrose has its thorn is still the jam, I am a poison fan, but this album wasnt good at all! Well its still good for a laugh!

Art Fair Blows!

Now being from Ann Arbor like I am, every year I have to deal w/ this event known as the art fair. The art fair is a NATIONAL EVENT! People come from all around the country to check out the artists & art that are here & apparently (Allegedly) buy stuff. Now the art fair is awful for a townie. 1st I work downtown & therefore have to deal w/ roughly 50% of our city streets being closed. Which makes getting anywhere a BITCH. If thats not bad enough it brings in bums from all over the country, New york, Chicago, DC & LA All somehow make it here to panhandle & try to get a dollar for food (read: BEER/LIQUOR) Its crazy there are tons of bums walking around tryin to get whatever from you. Also the number one art fair enemy, is women w/ strollers, I hate them for two reasons. 1 They always seem to hit your fuckin feet w/ their strollers, it pisses me off to no end, I want to smack a bitch everytime that happens, which brings me to #2. Moms having their babies in strollers when its 100 fucking degrees w/ 95% humidity. The kids hate it, they dont know WTF is going on, they cry a lot because they are pissed & uncomfortable, I would be too! Shit! Also another thing is that its always 90 degrees & it rains at least 1 day every year, not jut rain, but Torrential fuckin downpours, its crazy, all the tents of the people almost blow away & stuff, I say good riddance, & the last thing im going to bitch about is all the tourists, I men its good because it helps our economy, tons of merchant dollars comin to the town, but the tourists dont know where they are goin half the time, drive wrong was on one-way streets, I mean im not entirely against the art fair, if its not 200 degrees it is the best people watching on earth! I used to work art fairs when i was younger, and one time I saw a dude drunk as fuck w/ only a loin cloth lol, WTF, SO IN CLOSING come for the art, stay for the people, then get the fuck out!

Tacobell Onstar

So I was involved in a conversation about Drunk driving, we were talking about how all cars should have breathalyzers on them that wont allow the car to start after .08. Then we decided that while you were waiting you should be able to get Tacobell Onstar, you hit the button, place your order & they find you by Onstars GPS, you pay & eat while you wait. Thatd be the best thing ever, I mean you gotta wait a bit anyways, might as well get your grub on. Tacobell Onstar would be legendary! Itd be the best creation in the history of life. Delicious.

How to get into debt by Bobby G!

Have too much money? Tired of flaunting your cash all the time? Pay cash for everything? My strategy can help you get in debt fast! Here are a 5 simple steps!
1. Start w/ no money management skills, spend money AS SOON as you get it!
2. Live WAY beyond your means! Get that Corvette or Harley, you know you want it & customize the shit out of it!
3. Buy a House! They suck up money fast!
4. Use credit cards to live! Dont have money for groceries or gas? use your credit card! its FREE money!
5. Deny you have a problem! See that CC statement say you owe $8000 & ignore it! All that means is you have $2000 left to spend!

Follow these steps & youll be sure to have a bad credit rating at all times!

OK! Obviously DONT follow these steps or your life is gonna get hard in a hurry! My debt started when I moved out of my parents house. I was the only one w/ a CC, So I put all the deposit & moving expenses on my card, my 2 roommates paid me back but I blew all the money. When i moved out we got a great place but it was expensive! I was only making about $1000 a month & had a car bill & cell & few other bills so i started using CCs to live. I maxed out my CC in about 6 months. Food, beer, electronics, everything went on the card. I was quickly in debt. My mom was kind enough to do a balance transfer but in no time I had it maxed out again, The problem was i didnt have enough money to live. I got a house & could afford the mortgage & my bills but NOTHING else, no food, beer anything so I got the CC & kept spending, pretty soon I had 4 cards, the balance were $10,000, $8,000, $1600, $1200 All but one was maxed out, I realized that i had so much CC debt (though i always pay atleast the minimums) my credit score was shot. My debt to income ratio was too high. So I realized I had to do something, I cut up & tossed all my CCs, I was BROKE! I couldnt go out, I had about $20/week for groceries which I was able to budget to feed myself, I also got a 2nd job as a server & every cent goes to cc debt, so far im applying the snowball method, pay off the lowest balances (to get a sense of accomplishment) and then il take those payments & apply all of them to the next card & so on, its gonna take a while, but im also gonna put tax returns & every other income I get to debt, I just gotta get it done! I have learned my lesson for sure! I dont plan on ever having a CC again, I may not have any loans either (except mortgage) Im gonna have to buckle down & get this done, I got a good bike, a serviceable car (since my dad is a mechanic) so now its time to knock it out! Im ready!

Meth Use Vs Wearing Shirts....

So on A & E today there was a show about meth use in Iowa. It was messed up, Meth destroys your body, & MIND. It can be made w/ household chemicals, w/ some seriously disastrous results. They are very toxic & can catch on fire & explode. There are over 10,000 cases of death related to just meth labs not to mention the countless lifes the drugs have destroyed. Only 6% of meth users get sober. The most troubling stat of meth users however is the total disregard for wearing shirts. EVERY Male meth head in this show had no shirt on. Why? No clue, but it was troubling. Nothing worst than an emaciated  white body w/ no damn shirt on. It is tragic. 

RIP Tom Snell

Earlier this week the Ann Arbor American Hog Chapter lost a dear friend, officer & colleague when Tom Snell died of a heart attack in Dallas at age 62. He was on a 2 week trip, he was not on the bike at the time. He was a great rider, & a better person. He will be dearly missed by his Harley brothers & his family. We love you man. 

RIP George Carlin

George Carlin has died today at age 71 of heart failure. He has had heart problems for a while. George Carlin is one of the most funny & controversial comedians of all time! He is famous for the bit about the 7 words you cant say on TV (Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits) He was actually arrested in Milwaukee WI for using those words during a show, the case was thrown out do the 1st ammendment right of free speech. Mr. Carlin was in numerous movies (Including some of my favs Bill & teds Excellent adventure, & The Kevin smith Flicks) He was ont he tonight show 123 times. He will be dearly missed by all of his fans & people who performed w/ him. He is truly an American legend, we'll miss you George!

Ice-T Vs Soulja Boy

Recently on a mix tape Ice-T was recorded saying Soulja Boy destroyed hip hop, Soulja boy responded in a 7 minute video basically calling Ic-T old & saying you havent released in album in 10 years & that hes an actor etc. Now Ice-T was right! Soulja boy doesnt even too hip hop, he does pop-hop, and repetitve song w/ a beat that people seem to enjoy, its GARBAGE! Ice-T is a real MC, he was a pioneer in hip hop in the late 80s & early 90s, Soulja boy is makin that money, but he hasnt done anything or hip hop 

here is the link to the videos 

Ice T 1st Then Soulja Boy

Torture is Wrong.....

So I'm driving home from work last night & in front of a church is a huge black banner w/ white letters that says "Torture is Wrong" is that up for debate? Was there a large segment of the population that was wondering about the moral relevancy of torture? I think not. 

Bicyclists

Now I like to ride my bicycle, though the tires are currently flat, its great exercise & its really soothing to do. My problem lies in 3 areas. I will list them & speak of each one separately

1. They Don't use the sidewalk & thus fuck up traffic

2. They don't follow the same rules as cars

3. The guys that ride to work.

My biggest beef is when im driving home from work, its rush hour, its hot, traffic is slow as it is, and we are having to cross the center line because some dipshit on a bicycle is taking up half a lane when there is a perfectly good sidewalk right next to them. Now in some cities it is not legal to ride on the sidewalk (Thanks Ypsi!) but most it is legal. Another thing that pisses me off is when im in my car or on my Harley & i stop for a red light & a bicycle runs right through it. I honestly think people should get tickets for that, if they are on the sidewalk I under stand, because traffic laws don't apply, but if you are gonna be in the position to fuck up traffic (see #1) then you better follow the same rules. Now the guys that ride bicycles to work, the don't really piss me off, but OH i have questions....Do you really need to rock the spandex & the streamlined helmet & the helmet mirror? I mean what do you do for work? are you a wrestler? that would explain the spandex, also id have to imagine that you are pretty funk nasty when ya get to work, thatd be awful to have to sit next to them, funk emanating over the cubicle walls, oh well its all good cyclists, as Queen says, GET ON YOUR BIKES & RIDE!

Flip Flopped

Mlive.com & Espn are reporting that Pistons head coach Flip Saunders, has been fired from the Head coaching job of the Detroit Pistons. They have yet to name a successor but it appears that assistant coach & former Pistons player Micahel Curry will be named head coach at a press conference later this week.

Now I never had a problem w/ Flip per say. He just didnt get to the finals. In Detroit we expect to get to the finals. He always a bad reputation as a poor playoff coach, we saw that here a lot in Det. weather its not winning the games he had too, or the ability to control his players (Sheed comes to mind, though in defense no coach has really been good w/ Sheed lol) I predict big changes for the lineup this year, the era of the best starting 5 in the league may be over, but we have plenty of young talent waiting in the wings.

RIP Coach Mulkey....

On June 18 2007 Coach Lewis Mulkey was killed in his 2nd job as a fireman. He was The coach of the Summerville SC HS Basketball team. When he took over the program he told his kids that theyd have a State championship in 5 years. That was 5 years ago. The coach cared for his kids, he didnt have children of his own, the new coach Tee Neuman, knew this year would be special,The fire dept gave the team a firemans helmet w/ coach Mulkeys name on it, they took it to every game.  Summerville entered the playoffs at 20-3, And made it to the state championship game. With 1.7 seconds left, Summerville up 2 at the line one of the students missed the front end of a 1 and 1. The other team grabbed the rebound, dribbled twice and heaved a 65 foot shot, it went in, Summervilles hopes were dashed, just like that a miracle shot ended their season...but wait, the play was under review....It was determined the shot came after the final horn had sounded. Summerville won! There was so much jubilation from the team! Coach Mulkeys widowed wife, Lauren, came & got in the team photo w/ a championship medal wrapped around her husbands helmet. The game was over, but the werent done yet, they went to coaches grave and hung out the rest of he night, congrats Summerville, you guys earned it......
