Monday Moaning

Okay, so she looks like the best thing I've seen that has anything to do with the Olympics...She is Portugal's Javelin Thrower, (is that the technical term?) Leryn Franco!

I like the Winter Olympics, but the Summer games do nothing for me...First off, they have shit like Ping-Pong...REALLY!?! If you can drink beers and play it in your garage, basement, or "rec room" for those in a higher tax bracket than me, it isn't a sport! Then you have shit like Soccer, and Tennis...Tennis has their "Grand Slam" events every year, that the world's best players take part in...So why is it part of the Olympics? Soccer has the "World Cup" which I have never watched, but I know that's their big fucking deal...So why is it in the Olympics? Shit, Cycling has the Tour de France, so why do we need it in the Olympics?

Hell even Basketball...99% of the worlds best players, play in the NBA...Shockingly, of that 99%, 70% of them make up the world's biggest assholes! So I wonder why do they need Basketball in the Olympics?

Once pro Basketball and Hockey players were allowed in the Olympics, both those events lost the excitement they once had...

Then there is synchronized swimming and diving...I'm sure it's tough as hell, but it's just not enjoyable to watch...And other than those two rich kids that keep trying to sue Mark Zuckerberg, who the hell wants to watch Crew? You want your swimming, fine...I'm not watching, but go for it...Hey Phelps, how's that Subway and Weed diet working out for ya? Track and field...Hell yeah...Too bad they hardly show any of that...Beach Volleyball...Well, they made the ladies cover up more, so that blows...But then they also have men's Beach Volleyball...That's just taking us back to that horribly gay scene from Top Gun...




Luckily Friday night I had plans, so there was no way I was going to get stuck watching the God awful Opening ceremonies...And it doesn't matter where the games are, the opening and closing are always a stupid, and colossal waste of money...Okay, it was on the TV at the joint we had dinner at with friends...But conversation kept me from being totally annoyed...Then we headed to the House of Blues for some Rock & Roll with Our Lady Peace...


Here is the 4th song of the set...




They ripped through the first 9 songs, not letting anyone catch their breath...Then they did an acoustic version of Little Beeze's favorite song, "Thief"...And then pounded out 4 more songs, including a new song "Rabbits" that I kept bugging them to play via Twitter for the last two weeks...They left the stage, for a moment, came back and did a 3 song encore, which started like this...




They left the stage again, leaving people shocked that they hadn't done fan favorite "4AM"...But they quickly returned to do it, with the crowd taking care of the vocals for the first verse and chorus...It was a great show, and our friends who were OLP virgins, had a blast too...Oh, and sorry for the shakiness in the videos...I was enjoying myself and plenty of beers too!

After that, the weekend was just chilling, and hanging with the kids, and avoiding the Olympics...My littlest one has been working on her phone skills...How do you think she's doing?



That's it for now...Have a week...

Later, The Beeze.
