Monday Moaning

So we're here again, staring down the barrel of another week...

Edit: The second after I finish writing this My old Grade School Friend who works for CBS News posted on Facebook and Twitter, that Osama Bin Laden is dead and the U.S. has his body...I have no other details but the rest of this post pales in comparison...


If you came to Monday Moaning looking for a draft recap, you came to the wrong place...The most you'll get from me on that is, Cam Newton will be another #1, Heisman winning, BUST...The Browns traded down to get more picks, and spent their first three picks on guys who have had some off the field troubles...So I'm not real thrilled with their moves...I watched day one, but I'm really sick of the hype over the draft, and it's really getting old to see these so-called experts like Mel Kiper, and Mike Mayock be consistently wrong...

Last week I wrote abut the big sports news in Cleveland, and how this towns PRIORITIES are really screwed up...I also gave Lady_Gaga a solid beating...

This week I'm starting with the self proclaimed, "World Wide Leader in Sports." Yes, ESPN...THE place to go for all your sports news...Except if you don't have a contract with them...Then they may not show shit on your sport...You see, last week the Vancouver Canucks and Chicago Blackhawks went into game 7 of their series...The Canucks had been up 3-0 and the Blackhawks game back and tied it up 3-3...Then game 7 came and it was an incredible game, that of course went to over time, thanks to an amazing, short-handed, late 3rd period goal by Jonathan Toews...




The Canucks went on to win in OT...It was everything that makes playoff hockey great, and ESPN didn't lead Sports Center...It was pushed down in the telecast, as Hockey always is...There was no bigger or more exciting sporting event going on last Tuesday night, yet ESPN found shit to talk about before this game...Fuck that place!

Now, here's an update on the Little Beeze's condition...If you don't recall, last week he was shitting blue...Well finally Friday we got the word...He said, "Mom, good news, my poop is no longer blue." Guess those food coloring tablets take almost a week to run their course...

So that was reason to celebrate, so Saturday night the Mrs. and I headed out for some drinks and burgers...When we got to the bar we were informed they close the kitchen at 8PM now...This is totally retarded...So we drank, and waited for our friends Bryan and May, knocked back a couple more and headed to another joint, where I knew the kitchen would be open...There was a band playing, and Bryan and I were cool with this place...But suddenly the skirts weren't liking this, and wanted to go some where a bit classier...

So we hit walked into this little Bistro down the street...Suddenly our cheap night out got expensive, after more drinks, apps, and entrees...Don't get me wrong...The food was great...I had Braised Short Rib with Grits...Yes grits...They aren't just for the south...And when done right, they are awesome...And these were...The wife had the Goat Cheese and Cracked Black Pepper Raviolis with Mushroom Ragu...May had the Rack of Lamb, and Bryan had the Beef Tenderloin...There were no complaints...The ladies were happy and so was I as I drove home with her head in my lap...

Sunday we took in a movie...It should be up for Movie of the Year, but it didn't get a wide release...True story, about a true Cleveland crime legend...




If you're looking for more sports you won't be getting it...

For the last couple of weeks I've been harping on the fact that so many Americans, and really people around the world, have been so obsessed with the Royal Wedding...Yes, it happened Friday...It's over...But that doesn't change my feeling on how stupid people are...Look at this map...




This map shows the territories that were or are under British rule at one time...The Royal family made it's fortune stealing from people...Rape, Pillage and Plunder was their business...Before the New York Yankees, they were the Evil Empire...The problems of places like India, Pakistan, Scotland, and Ireland, just to name a few can be laid directly at the feet of England, and it's beloved Royal Family...

They're all so proud that William married a "commoner"...Yeah, because so much of the Royal family's property was stolen from "commoners." William and Harry seem like decent guys, but they come from a long line of fucking assholes...

And England, aren't bothered by the fact that your country is having financial troubles just like the U.S. with a huge deficit, yet the Royal family throws around money they never earned, to put on this big display of look at us!

Seriously, these people are assholes...There's a reason why we had a thing called the Revolutionary War! Maybe I have it worded this well...Maybe some else can do better...




That's all for now...

Have a week...

Later, The Beeze.
