Quick hits #2

Lately I tend to be a bit loud while working at my station. I've already got a couple of pricks telling me to quiet down. To which I say, hey, I won't be the one who's going to get out of my computer station. If you don't like it, leave. I'll just stay here.

I tend to lack courtesy when it comes to actually doing things I want to do, namely, checking my e-mail, posting on the BBS, and even doing this blog which I just finished posting. The thing is, I am in a very blah mood, and the only way to do it is to let out what I have to let out. If they want to study somewhere else, so be it. I don't care about them. I have a class to go to in less than 4 hours, and I know that I have a lot of time to kill, and I am slaughtering it, mashing the keys incessantly, while waiting for 5:00 P.M. to show on the watch.

I am hungry for knowledge, and tackling the summer class I have to be in: IS 301, Business Communications. And this is a class that focuses on making a meeting effective, as well as getting people in your group to collaborate in a way that is the most productive, among things. So I deduce after reading from the textbook I will be using for the next few months leading up to the Fall.

At this point in my life, I am an individual person. You can blame this...hole I call America for infiltrating my psyche with this. But there will be a point in my life where I need to place team, and purpose, before self. Granted, it's not easy, but no ever said running a successful business is easy. And truth to tell, it isn't.

But for the next few hours, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, interrupt my less than three hours on Cloud 9, lest I purchase a thunderbolt from Thor to put to good use.

Super GALS Second Season is coming soon. After many months of waiting for the last 26 to come this way, a company by the name of Right Stuf International has answered the challenge to make this a reality. I expect Industrial Smoke & Mirrors to provide the dubbing duties, as always.

Italy has won the World Cup! Again. I wonder how this is going to affect the cheating scandal in Serie A. The last thing I want is to have this leave a fatal blow on the prosecuation against the like of Juve et al. God save that football federation.

In recent days I have been attracted to the likes of this series called Strawberry Marshmallow. It’s this 12-episode series of 4 elementary school girls and the big sister that has to look over them. It makes you wonder, those four could make up a good band. The plan goes as this:

Matsuri Sakuragi – drums
Miu Matsuoka – rhythm guitar
Chika Ito – bass
Ana Coppola – lead guitar

And Nobue Ito, Chika’s older sister, is their manager.
I leave it to you to determine where they will go from here.

I’ve been on this new medicine tablet. It’s called SeroQUEL, and it’s different from what I have been used to. While it keeps my appetite at bay, a major side effect is that I can get agitated when taking this. For example, the music that I’m listening to doesn’t seem interesting, and when I try a different type of song, I am transparent to it.
But back to the agitation. When I get agitated, I can get REALLY agitated. If I don’t see something I like, I am vocal about it. I don’t like being to told to be quiet or keeping my comments to a minimum, and when I’m told that, I express my disapproval in a number of different ways. Mashing the keyboard, flashing the middle finger, etc. I don’t like being agitated with things, else it’s just asking for trouble.
Hmmmmm. There’s a saying: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” Note that.

Just a few more weeks, and football season will be coming back. American football. I expect USC to return to the national championship…and win, otherwise they fail football. Just because LA cannot get an NFL team (thanks to henpecked arsehattery by the cronies in the city’s government and by NFL owners who still this LA sucks as a sports town) doesn’t mean that the Trojans are a worthy substitute. They are, and if they don’t come clean at 13-0, time to bash their demise with a rattan cane, Singaporean-style.

How good will Hawaii’s football team be? No, forget that question. They will still underachieve due to a Pop Warner-caliber defense.
How good will the Lakewood Lancers be this football season? Good enough to finish second-place, with wins over Mayfair and Millikan? That is the minimum, Sunny Jim. Defeat Poly? A must, else they fail the Moore League in terms of achieving something tangible. Win it all in the playoffs? Why not, cause another one-and-gone makes Thadd MacNeal look like a total fool to coach the Big Red.
You heard it here first.
And for Long Beach City College? They are going to be solid again. I can’t wait to report on the Vikings’ home games for the fine folks at JC Football Network. Stay tuned for a season preview to be posted on that site, Blogger and Tagworld. And mind the weekly wrap-ups and bowl highlights, et al.

The Long Beach Armada (my adopted Golden League team) is third in the league standings, behind Reno and Chico. Those underachieving punks…come on Armada, hit up a win streak to last till the end of the regular! We need all the wins we can get.
And the Las Vegas 51s are 12 behind Tucson for the PCL Pacific South pennant. At this rate, those turds will never catch up. [Insert sigh here.]

There needs to be some change in the Saskatchewan Roughriders front office. 1-2, giving up more points than anyone else in the CFL? I smell a shakeup.
