For the Love of the Blog.

Clear the mechanism.

Read it, don’t read it, I don’t care…just needed to get some things off my chest.

In no particular order of chronology or importance…

On the clock.  Not an airplane rant.  Afternoon rant.  Speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  I have 30 minutes to speed blog as she cooks and as we prepare to NOT see Tyrion talk anymore to the dragon queen, which of course is what I want.  Let’s move.  
2. One sentence per hook, people…again.
3. JJ-pops.
4. We just played 2 hours of poker outside with a 30% chance of rain, and it is CRAZY raining outside right now.
5. Just saying the word “poker” makes me want to watch Rounders, and she beat me last night with four Queens over a full house, which was more painful when telling the story to the bartender and saying she had a “royal house.”
6. More painful as I keep a Queen of Hearts in my wallet at ALL times because my grandfather was one of the greatest people to walk this earth.  
7. Lindsey is a plant expert, I lift the heavy stuff during “plant detail,” and I still get yelled at for drowning plants with soil, and we now have new respect for people who keep a rose bush alive.
8. Ours is toast after ONE day.
9. THINK about it-I was growing something that could save a flowers every two weeks guy MONEY.
10. Buy your women flowers, guys-it pays out dividends and makes everyone feel good.
11. Cerk, I was just messing around (he doesn’t read this thing so go with the tree-hearing-forest cliché).
12. Why DOESN’T Cerk read this thing-think he is too busy being cool and hip?  
13. He IS a face guy.  Kind of like uppity, hipster, possibly guilty, Roman/Latin emperor shit.
14. Ben, sorry I missed hanging with you this week, you are one of my favorite people, and he DOES read this thing.
15. Ponto, loved the FB kid Costanza thing, but the one time I proactively did anything on FB, I deleted it today.
16. I HAVE the blog traffic, and hate FB-too much going on.  
17. Think he was going here, but not sure-kind of weird with joking about a kid.  
18. Tampa is about offense AND has a hot goalie. Chicago is about a goaltender who has already won it, and BEAUTIFUL puck movement.
19. Chicago wins in 6.
20. I have been saying it since October-not splitting the atom over here.
21. Logan, I am going to try and make it to Chambers Bay, and THANK you for the invite.
22. I was lucky enough to be on the 18^th green when Tiger tied up Rocco, and most golf fans are jealous.  
23. There is SOMEONE in Denver who goes to Safeway at 20^th and Clarkson who ALSO ONLY eats Yoplait Orange Crème yogurt, and I will go EARLIER next time.  
24. I went to something that is called the Big Wonderful in Denver, and I recommend you look at the band lineup and attend….news to me.  
25. I just really love being at the place to be, and have been pretty successful over the years in accomplishing this task.  
26. Lindsey was right that Drunken Hearts was a band I would like…the solo song had Phish, CCR, Panic, and Disco Biscuits all wrapped into one song.
27. Our cab driver to the Big Wonderful had an iPhone with Vlade Divac giving directions-I didn’t want to get out of the car and we DID discuss Robert Horry’s shot(s).
28. I told him “you mean the guy who WOULD have a title if Robert Horry didn’t exist?”  
29. Who would YOU pick, and I think I am picking Hubie Brown or Allen Iverson?  
30. Fred/ Mayor, don’t go-your team is top five preseason for the first time since…let me think…yes…Jamaal Tinsley.  
31. I impress myself with that last pull on the fly.
32. So, Alvin Gentry gets to finish coaching as an assistant for a possible world champion and THEN go and coach Anthony Davis-good week?
33. I watched Jurassic Park FIRST one to get me pumped up for WHATEVER reason they pitch me why humans are still opening amusement parks with dinosaurs in them.  
34. I think a book will be written about Mike Sherman very soon, and congrats for starting at grassroots again, coach.
35. I wish Michael Bennett would find another week to vent.
36. Klay Thompson will apparently play, and my now original prediction is Warriors in 7…LeBron is a stud, but doesn’t have enough guns.
37. Even MJ needed Scottie, people.  
38. How many non World Cup leagues ARE there, because Arsenal beat Aston Martin…sorry “Villa” at SOMETHING.
39. Or Austin Cooper…
40. Or Mini Cooper…dammit.  
41. Nadal looks SO shaky, and have I told you he will win AGAIN?    
42. The Blackhawks looked SO shaky, and have I told you they will win the whole freaking thing?
43. I don’t like friendly’s, whether it is men or women.
44. That dealt with soccer, but I miss Friendly’s shakes.  
45. Two hours until Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley.  
46. We won, we won…oh we didn’t. http://deadspin.com/state-title-winning-walkoff-walk-called-out-after-team-1708020794
47. I think it was the simple watch thing, but somehow Denzel pulled off being an old badass better than Sly or Arnold in a movie I FINALLY watched…The Equalizer.  
48. I will be right back-I am going to shave my head.
49. I think firing squads are not good, but think if they WERE legal, people who haven’t seen Princess Bride or Top Gun should be SHOT dead.  
50. Vince, stop insulting me whether I know about Berlin, and go back to practicing Righteous Brothers.  
51. Nope.  I have never done that post 1986 more than 15 times.
52. You hate hockey or live in a vacuum if you haven’t seen this, but just in case… http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/benjamin-franklin-is-killin-the-game-hockey-fan-must-1707852368
53. If someone can tell me how Walk the Moon-Shut up and Dance doesn’t sound EXACTLY like Video Killed the Radio Star, then you are better than I am as a person.  
54. Lindsey told me one of the few Madonna songs I like, Live to Tell, was “boring and slow.”  
55. Remember when Madonna was hot and Molly Ringwald RULED our brain, over 40 year olds?  
56. She didn’t even really have BOOBS-we were tricked.
57. I heard this song in our breakfast place today, I just was mentioning this last night, and if you are down, this MIGHT be the happiest song you have EVER heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULjCSK0oOlI
58. Tsonga won today, and now it seems to me that I have picked him to win EVERY Grand Slam over the last five years outside of the French/ Nadal Open.
59. Federer let Monfils steal the second set and then went into a rain delay?
60. I realize that I am a horrible American and, in some way, hate the Beatles, Journey, The Eagles, and the Rolling Stones.
61. I guess my eggs are totally in the Led Zeppelin basket.
62. And I like the Rolling Stones song from For the Love of the Game.  
63. For the millionth time, For the Love of the Game is a brilliant sports movie disguised in a chick flick that will make her happy and get you laid.
64. If you would like to meet me in a dark alley and discuss, I am open, but this is my most embarrassing trait by far (this song is on my set list for my shuffle-I dare you to question me about this). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a-hUP7kO3A
65. I will jack up your shit-only Steve Perry song I roll with.  I will sing Don’t Stop Believing as I throw down the river.
66. I have officially given Jackson/ Demon Kitty my Steelers monkey-hope that is ok for whoever gave it to me.
67. Just go to Beast and Bottle on 17^th, start from the left top side, and order everything they have, one visit at a time.  
68. You should too, and we are going to the Denver chalk art thing next week and the People’s Fair.
69. If I was dying on a bed when 117 years old, and you asked me what the BEST glam rock song NO one had ever heard properly, I would say THIS one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhV7DEmLgMY  
70. Don’t EVEN get me started on the John Sykes thing.  I would take 100 hooks ALONE.   
71. That’s it. Two hours until Game of Thrones.  Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
