Monday Moaning

 


WOW! The weather got so nice in Cleveland on Sunday,  it had everyone thinking about Summer...Which got me thinking about images like this one!

While my Brother-in-law in Boston is looking at another mountain of 20+ inches of snow, we're here with sun and 68 degrees....In the last year or two, there has been some crazy weather in the U.S.  I mean we're hearing about Tornadoes year round now...Serious weather seems to be hitting everywhere...Well, except one place...The Cleve...Yes, we got some rain and serious wind from "Super Storm Sandy" but our homes didn't blow into the lake...Maybe Mother Nature has realized Cleveland has been shit on enough...

Besides that, we do enough damage ourselves...Just look what this dump truck driver did Saturday morning...



A large portion of I-90 has been closed all weekend while crews take that pedestrian bridge down...Dude knocked it off the pillars...Only in the fucking Cleve!

So, I have to admit that my writing has slipped lately...I've been distracted and tired...So Friday night I forced myself to write...I gave myself a time limit, and knocked out A_15_MINUTE_BLOG just to get my juices going and get shit off my chest...

Now I feel slightly recharged...

A couple months back I was talking about fan loyalty, and how owners and players don't show that same loyalty much these days...That piled on with years of watching Cleveland teams lose, I decided to go free agent...I said that I would choose my baseball team to root for in April...I'll still pay attention to the Indians, but they aren't making the cut...I think Terry Francona will get them going the right direction, but it's not happening this year just because they added 3 guys who hit below .265 and strike out a fucking ton...

I'll also pay attention to the Red Sox because of the family connection...I like that they added Joel Hanrahan...But as some one who kinda got hooked on the Pirates last year, that sucks for Pittsburgh...Also NESN always have hot chicks covering the Sox....


There's the former NESN chick Heidi Watney getting put in her place by the latest NESN hottie, Jenny Dell and her huge creamers!  Which would you take?

This year, I'm focused on two teams...Both from the same area...The Baltimore Orioles, and the Washington Nationals...I really want to see if the Orioles can build on what they did last year...But I'm not waiting for April...The Nationals are my team this year...That Harper kid is good, and he's a cocky prick...I like that!  Strasburg is a beast, and I'd love to see what he'll do with a full season...They've got a solid staff, and balanced lineup...Screw it...I'm signing a 2 year deal with the Nats!

And I'm not waiting for after the draft or free agency with Football...I have no faith in the Browns, and even if they land some big free agents, which is tough to do here, It will still take time, especially with the hellish QB situation this team has constantly been in...I'm all in with the Seattle Seahawks...Pete Carroll is a douche, but that's a hell of a team they've got going there...Plus, as much as a dick as Richard Sherman seems to be, I love that told off Skip Bayless last week...You can see that HERE...

- Saturday I posted some WISDOM from Bill Burr...The guy kills me...Just hilarious...There was another clip I was watching, and planning on posting...Then it was suggested to me to check it out by a facebook friend...Great minds right!  So here's Bill on Gold Diggin' Whores...




Classic Bill Burr!

- I rarely talk Basketball, mainly because I don't watch it...There is nothing I like about the NBA...But I'm going to talk a bit of Basketball this week...Why?  Because at one time I use to think Jason Whitlock was a good columnist...Now, after some of the shit he has written and tweeted over the last couple years, I realize he's almost as big of an ass-hat as Rick Reilly...This week Whitlock wrote a column stating that the entire NBA is afraid of LeBron James...REALLY?  Why the hell would other elite NBA players be afraid of LeBron...This guy isn't the living legend that Whitlock and dolts at ESPN try to make him out to be...He's only has one NBA title...1...

Whitlock goes on to say that James and Dwayne Wade are the best duo the NBA has seen..."We’ve never seen anything like the pairing of James and Dwyane Wade. Two superstars playing at this level of efficiency, shooting over 50 percent from the field. They invented and perfected the three-quarter-court, alley-oop outlet pass. They popularized the chase-down, hear-my-footsteps blocked shot at the rim. They’re lethal at both ends of the court. James and Wade are 94 feet of hell. It might take a fluke or an injury to stop the Heat’s winning streak."

I'm not an expert on basketball, but this guy is nuts...Why doesn't he just give them credit for inventing the game...This shit is retarded...They've got one title together...They haven't proven shit yet...With age, Whitlock gets more and more full of shit!

Plus if you believe any bit of what Cleveland sports talk radio says, LeBron wants to come back to Cleveland to end his career...The rumors say he isn't happy in Miami...How much of that is true, I don't know...I know he crew isn't getting their asses kissed and put on the team payroll like they did here....Even worse is how many people would welcome him back with open arms...After all that hate...After feeling so screwed, they'd welcome him back...These are the same people who will never forgive Art Modell for moving HIS team...Gotta love the fucking Cleve!

In closing...Fuck LeBron James...Fuck Jason Whitlock....Cleveland is a bitch, but the Weather has been better then most places...Jenny Dell has great cans...Bill Burr rules...Go Nationals!

Have a Week...

The Beeze.

A 15 Minute Blog


I have been in a serious writing slump...So I'm making my self take 15 minutes, and just letting shit fly....

The slump has mainly been because I'm tired...For too much of the time, in the last month, I've been a single parent, while my wife has been back and forth trying to get her parents in an assisted living place...Her father has Dementia/Alzheimer's...He has also recently had a series of small strokes...These factors have contributed to him putting his household in a horrible financial situation....So in her back and forth she has also been talking with lawyers about the best strategy to handle those issues...

Then there is her mother who is having some serious short term memory loss issues...And her brother who had a serious car accident, while not having a license or insurance...She handled all the car accident issues, as well as got a car for her mom...

She has  had a lot on her plate...Her sisters have helped, but they're in Boston...We live the closest to her folks, so she has been doing most the leg work...Believe me when I tell ya, I've had a enough of this shit...But she's my wife...Her problems are mine too, and I have to do whatever I can to help her...But mostly, I've just had to increase my Mr. Mom workload...

I haven't gotten to enjoy my pain meds, or muscle relaxers I got after wrenching my back, and cracking up my ribs...They knock me out pretty hard, and I have to be on high alert for the 3 kids...Little Beeze tends to fall out of bed a lot...Kid is a flopper at night...

So, after getting the kids off, going to work...Cooking way too much Grouper for working at a Steak House, picking the kids up, helping with homework, making dinner, doing dishes, getting kids ready for bed, and getting the days update about what's going on with the in-laws, my drive to write has been shit....My sports viewing has been limited...Sleep just sounds, and feels better...

She is at her folks again tonight...The kids are asleep...And I'm seeing that The Chicago Blackhawks are looking like they may finally lose a regulation game...Well, streaks are made to end...

A couple nights ago we had a rare bit of time for just us...After getting the kids from school, I took them to the Dentist for a check-up...Then I took them home, got them dinner, and my Mom came over to stay with them...I had a doctors appointment...My wife did as well...I was shocked to find out that my Cholesterol wasn't bad...So, I thought we should celebrate...

We stopped by a new place called Drink Bar and Grill...They're in a soft opening phase...The space was once a pile of shit, but this guy has busted his ass, and made it look great...The place had great Jazzy vibe to it...The Jazz playing in the background helped, but I felt that vibe when I walked in...We sat at the bar...I had a Great Lakes Conway's Irish Ale...Love that stuff...We order the Bruschetta...Very fresh, and very good...Then I had a steak sandwich with onion rings...The wife had a burger and fries...She quickly regretted not getting onion rings...These were without a doubt, the best onion rings I ever had...Everything about them was perfect...The Steak sand was good...Kind of small, but the steak was real steak tips, and had nice, fresh, crisp onions and peppers on it, with fontina cheese...

If we didn't have kids to get home to, I could have drank Conway's and eaten Onion Rings all night long...It was nice, just to sit and talk, and leave all the stress and bullshit outside...I can't wait to get some more of that quality time....

My 15 minutes are up...Sorry for this rambling, but it felt good, just to write...It's actually stirred a couple ideas of things to write about soon...I gotta get myself back at it..

The Beeze.
