I've sat on this story for a few days now...I just can't figure out who are the bigger fucking assholes! These ass-hats in Pennsylvania who dress up like dick-bags from yesteryear, and have a big to-do over a stupid fucking rodent crawling out of it's hole, and supposedly seeing it's shadow or not...
Seriously? This is how you're going to forecast? I get it, the Weather Channel is wrong 50% of the time...Local weather-casters are wrong constantly...But You're going to put your faith in this asshole groundhog...That you named Phil...And you act as if he is an all-knowing, weather guide, that has somehow never died...Grow the fuck up Pennsyltucky!
But wait...It gets worse...The City...Town...Of Merrimack New Hampshire issued an arrest warrant for Phil...Seriously!?! Yes, I know it's just a joke thing...But do you really have nothing better to do with your time? Are the taxpayers in Merrimack really happy about their civil servants wasting time, money, and energy on this crap...Everyone involved in this should be fired, yesterday!
And you live in New Hampshire...Aren't you suppose to be hearty New Englanders, that can handle Winter? I thought all you fucking New Englanders loved living in a place with all four seasons...So you get tough Winter and turn into cunts and want pretend to arrest a fucking groundhog, because somehow that will make you all feel better!?! Holy fucking shit!
Is Merrimack run by complete and total retards? It must be...Grow the fuck up!
And for everyone else...It's February...It's Winter...It gets cold...It snows...Why the fuck is everyone acting surprised, like this is the beginning of the apocalypse...It's fucking Winter cunts!
It's official...I'm over this Winter shit...I have been thinking about how great it would be to move...Start a new adventure with my wife and kids...A fresh start, somewhere else...Take a chance...My wife and I have always wanted to go to the Pacific Northwest...Seattle, Portland, shit like that...The Mrs. and I joked about moving to Seattle...Thursday night, she came in from walking the dog...It was 4 degrees out...I had already had my fill earlier in the day shoveling the snow...She gave me a look...I pulled it my phone and looked at Seattle's weather...I said, "Honey, it's 57 degrees with a light rain in Seattle." She replied, "Let's move!" Unfortunately, there would be a serious pushback from our kids...Especially our oldest...
So for now, all I can do is look forward to Spring...I've always been a Fall and Winter guy, but as I get older, I can do without Winter...And with Spring comes Baseball...I miss Baseball...Not so much MLB...And not even Fantasy, which after winning two leagues last year is surprising even to me...
Surprising to me, I miss coaching Baseball...This past Summer was the first time not coaching my son and a team in baseball, after 4 years of doing it...When I took my promotion at work, coaching was taken off the table...And my son decided not to play...I'm not sure how much of that had to do with me not coaching, but it bothered me that he didn't want to play...His attention deficit made it hard for him standing out in the field...But he was really good, without trying very hard...I was hoping to get him into the little details, but he just didn't want to do it...I wasn't going to push too hard...I never want to be the pushy sports dad...
I'll be honest, as I always try to do when I write...I've been finding myself getting depressed lately...Mostly late at night...There is a point that I should go to bed, but instead I stay up...I may watch a movie, or TV...But I slip off into my head and just get into a funk...
One recent evening I started thinking about my days coaching...When I stopped, I had a feeling of relief, because my last season, there was a lot of bullshit with the rec department and the people running the league...It seemed the only people that gave a damn were about 6 of us coaches and a handful of parents per team...
But as I thought more, I really missed it...I was proud of how I coached...How I treated each kid the same...How they all got to play ever position...How if a kid on my team made fun of a teammate or a kid on another team struggling, they ran a lap, and were warned not to do it again...And no parents gave me shit about it...They supported it...When I had a tiny girl, playing for the first time in her life, and learning everything from us, her teammates cheered for her when she was close to tears, and parents followed...They didn't bitch that I gave her extra time in the batter's box at practice, over their kid that had no problem hitting...They barked at the umps for calling a strike on a ball over her head...
I thought about a Saturday scrimmage another coach and I setup, because so many games got rained out the one year...We played 3 innings, then some kids had to go...We mixed up the remaining kids, along with some older siblings that were there and played another 3 innings just for fun...After that I had kids wanting to stay and have me throw them batting practice...kids from 8-12 years old, all taking turns, for almost 2 hours...My arm was shot...But we had a blast...
I was proud that parents asked to have their kid put on my team...I was surprised when at a high school football game this year with my oldest, multiple kids that had been on my teams, walked up and said "Hi coach!"
I'm not trying to toot my horn here...I'm not the best coach...I wasn't the best coach in the league...But kids on my teams got better each season, and they had fun...I learned more each year, about baseball, about kids, and myself...I'm proud of my time coaching, and I hope I can find a way back to it some day soon...
I miss practices...I miss games...I don't miss saying, "Stop playing with the dirt!" (the t-ball days)....I miss a bit of the chaos...I miss getting on the Ump for a bad call...I miss coaching...I miss Baseball...
Now, I'm going to get a drink, and sit in the dark with my friends Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane...
OH NO! This is not what Patriots fans want to see...Even worse then the pictures...Boston.com is reporting that wide receiver Wes Welker tore his ACL and MCL in today's loss to the Houston Texans...Not good at all!
Other NFL news, the Cowboys handed the Eagles a whoopin'...Baltimore made it in...And it looks like Chad Ochocinco won't be doing any dancing, as the Jets are thumping the Bengals right now...And he's in the locker room...The Jets win will put them in the playoffs...
In amazing NFL news, The Browns won their 4th straight game...They started 1-12, then they started to play some hard-nosed ball and win their last 4...WTF!?! I look at Mangini and don't know if I want to high-five him, or punch him in the throat!
Now I have to be honest...I haven't watched many of the College Bowl games...To be honest, since they put TCU and Boise State against each other...I just don't really care...I think 'Bama is gonna pound on Texas...I did watch a bit of Florida's thrashing of Cincinnati...Wow did that hurt...But once they started talking about their "Tebow Cam" I just wanted to see him break every bone in his body...But that wasn't going to happen against Cincy"s piss-poor defense..."F**king "Tebow Cam." Are you kidding me? Ya know, one day some evil shit is gonna come out about that guy...Some Tiger Woods shit...And I'm gonna laugh my ass off...
Oh, and good luck in the NFL Tebow...I can't wait to see the pros take you apart...I can't wait for everyone to see that you can't make all the throws...You'll be begging for some snaps in the stupid "Wildcat" formation...Douche!
Since I'm talking college football...I had to get this in...Another ESPN dolt, showing what a total and complete C*nt she is....
New Year's Day I was all about the Winter Classic..."Old Time Hockey" at it's best...
-
Something that Gary Bettman hasn't screw up yet...Please just keep your idiotic hands off of it...It's a good thing...Don't get greedy...Leave it alone!
Moving on to the life and times of the Beeze...The boy hasn't done anything crazy...I mean he's always a little wired and shit, but he's been alright...There's snow on the ground and he can play outside in that shit all day long...Gets it from the Norwegian side of the family. (Mrs. Beeze...Funny since she's always complaining about being cold)...So we spent some time playing in the snow...He threw a snowball at me...Oh shit! It was on...He kept saying, "You can't hit me!" Oh yeah...This is no bullshit here people...I put that kid on the ground about twenty times...No head shots! but I was unleashing it on his ass...5 years of all the headaches he's given me were coming out in snowballs...And he just kept laughing and asking for more...
Cut to a couple hours later...I'm alternating ice and a heating pad on my once torn rotator cuff...And this kid is running around like a maniac completely unscathed...Unreal!
The girl...All of 8 years old, started wearing a training bra...WHAT! That was pretty much my reaction about it...My wife is telling me not to freak out...My mother is telling me not to freak out about it...Ad my father of course says the only logical thing..."Let's go to the pub for a drink."
My feeling is kids are developing too fast due to the growth hormones and God knows what else they put in the food these days...All I know is, I'm going to be gun shopping soon!
I was looking for more advice about dealing with kids...So I turned to one of my Christmas presents...Louis CK, "Chewed Up."
This next bit made me think about some of the dumb young girls that work at the Fish House...As opposed to Woman, like my wife...
It's official...F*ck Winter...I'm done with this sh!t...As a kid I loved this stuff...I never understood how people could love Winter when they were kids, and then suddenly hate it as they became "adults"....

Now I know....Last night, after cleaning walls, and furniture, and everything else my dolt of a son colored on with markers....I noticed moisture on the ceiling in the living room...My first thought was 'what the hell did he do now?'
It wasn't him surprisingly...It was my roof...But the little punk didn't take long to mess with situation....He took a hockey stick and poked at the ceiling...Oops...Now there was a little hole leaking water....Get the bucket...Get the duct tape...That fixes everything...
I went outside with a shovel, and hammer....Started beating on the ice with and trying to get some snow off....Until the police showed up....They said I had to stop...Some douche complained about the noise.....I called the Insurance company....Good times....
Got up this morning and tried to get a hold of somebody at the Insurance company....Heard back from them that there wasn't anyone available to come out until later in the week, but I should try to get as much snow and ice off the roof as possible....NO SH!T....
So there I am...On a ladder....Hammer, and screwdriver...Hacking away at the Ice...I had about an 10 inch thick block of ice running along the top of my gutter, and edge of the roof....It was about 8 inches wide...I now have several bruises from these huge chunks of ice falling and trying to knock me off the ladder....After getting all this crap cleared I found the trouble spot....A nice gap where the siding meets the roof...WTF!
Nothing like home ownership to ruin a Saturday....Now I get to wait and see how long the Insurance pr!cks drag their feet on this....
