2010...A Beeze Odyssey? I Hope!
That was pretty damn cool...But I don't think it was as bad ass as Robbie Madison's jump last year!
Either way...It's a cool way to bring in the New Year...I hope 2010 is better then 2009...
As a matter of fact...I've got a few things I'm hoping for in this new year, and new decade...Let's make a list!
I hope to lose the weight required, so that I may ultimate prize...Love ya honey!
Deep frying chocolate cover Oreos isn't gonna help that goal...But I had to try something new...
I hope to finish the book I'm working on...And it brings me great wealth and enough notoriety to get me into some cool parties!
I hope to win the Mega Millions...Quit my job...Blog all I want...Move to Boston...Take a trip to Toronto and Vancouver...
I'm sure once I move The Cleveland Browns will win a "Super Bowl."
I'd like to see Brian Kelly turn around Notre Dame and bring it back to some bit of greatness that it once was...
I'd like to see the New York Rangers pull their collective heads out of their asses and win the Stanley Cup...1994 was great, and us Rangers fans don't want to do that whole waiting 60 years crap again!
Lastly, I hope that my family and friends all have happy and healthy years...With very limited hardships...2009 had some highs, but it has felt like a lot more lows...I'm a very lucky man, but I wouldn't mind more luck...How about you?
It's January now, which is when I really get into hockey season...Football is almost done, and of course New Year's Day brings the "Winter Classic." It's become a tradition on New Year's Day, and I love it...This year it was in Fenway Park...Bruins vs Flyers...It was great game...Not filled with all kinds of scoring as some would like...But it was filled with lots of old time hockey...Plenty of physical...Lots of defense...And the first fight in "Winter Classic" history...
Late in the third period the Bruins tie the game up at 1-1 on a power play goal by Mark Recchi...The game went to overtime, and we had to keep hearing the announcers repeatedly call it extra innings...Get it...'Cause they were playing in Fenway...Douches!
In OT Bruins winger Marco Sturm scored the game winner on a feed from Patrice Bergeron...
This was a great way to sell the game...Good non-stop action...Good defense...Physical play the entire game...And a thrilling finish...The NHL has to continue this tradition...I just hope the don't ruin it y having ten of these a year...Commissioner Bettman has a way of screwing things up...I hope he doesn't mess this up too!
Here's a New Year's resolution for the readers out there...If you're not really much of a hockey fan...This year, go checkout a game live...In person...It doesn't have to be NHL...the minors will do...Or College...Give it a shot and let us know what you think...
That's it for now...I gotta go deep fry something, and eat on the exrcise bike...
Best wishes to all in the new year...

Monday Moaning
I'd like to start this week by thanking the You Gab Sports community for voting me their Blogger of the year...It was a lovely ceremony... http://yougabsports.com/pt/FESTIVUS-Has-Arrived-Awards-for-People/blog.htmIt was great just to be nominated...But it's even better winning! Ha!
It was a busy week...Lets start with...
THE BEEZE'S CHRISTMAS UNWRAPPED...
After slinging some lunches out of The Fish House...I had a couple Christmas Ales...Went home, took the kids outside to spread some reindeer food...What you never heard of it...Just take some bird seed and some shiny sprinkles, mix them up, and let the kids throw them all over the yard so Santa's reindeer know where the hell to go...
Then I made some food for guests that were coming over...Then I cracked open a Christmas Ale...The kids and I checked the NORAD site repeatedly to see where the fat man was...I opened some more Christmas Ales...Got people out of my house...Got the kids to bed...Had a Christmas Ale...Then the wife and I did the big setup...From the looks of all the sh!t under the tree, we did our part for the economy, and now we'll be scraping by for the next couple months...Then I gave the Mrs. a pounding with my Yule Log...Got another Christmas Ale, and started working on putting together the bike we got for my daughter...
Not a bad job considering I was sh!t faced by the time I was done...
Christmas morning came quick...It started with the little Beeze saying, "Look I was on the nice list!" He had opened 5 presents before I even had my eyes completely open...It was insanity for about 30 minutes...Then the coffee was brewing and I was taking toys out of their packages...Do they really need to be strapped in the boxes that tightly...Do we really need to have 6 different sized screwdrivers for all the different battery hatches...Dear God! Then I took a nap...By noon I was no longer drunk, just hungover...Just in time to get ready to go to dinner...First year in 6 that I wasn't cooking, and I loved it!
The kids had a great Christmas...The wife was happy with all her gifts...I was happy with mine...Well, all except one...You may remember the wife and I have made a New Year's resolution to both lose weight...If I lose a certain amount, she promised to give up the holiest of holes! So what do I unwrap on Christmas morning? A deep fryer...Girl is trying cheat...But I won't be stopped!
Now, onto the Cleveland Browns...They gave their fans a nice present for Christmas...Mike Holmgren...This may be the best move they've made since their return...There's been a lot of talk about Holmgren giving Eric Mangini the boot...I haven't been Mangina's biggest supporter, but I think it may be a bad move to bounce him after only one year here...It's not like he walked into a team full of talent...And in the last month the Browns defense has shown some balls...The other big factor is we all should have known it would take some time to turn things around...Mangini set the team up with 11 picks in the upcoming draft...He knew this pile of crap needed depth, and like all coaches he wants his type of players...It may not be popular, by I think he should get a second year...Besides that, do the Browns really need another ex-coach on the payroll...I believe they're still paying two other dolts!
Other NFL news...the Steelers looked out of it just a couple weeks ago...Now all the sudden they're back in the Wild Card hunt...Way to sh!t the bed Ravens!
The Patriots seem to be hitting their playoff stride, as they beat the hell out of the Jaguars Sunday...
And is there any team that is more Jekyll & Hyde then the New York Giants...They've been all over the map this year...Couple good games...Bunch of bad games...Win here, lose there...They can't seem to get in a rhythm...I thought they might have found it last week, but then B-Dubs Panthers rolled into Giants Stadium and beat the living sh!t out of them...
And Mercury Morris and all his buddies can rest easy...The Colts called it quits on going for a perfect season...Why? I don't know...Hell, I don't care...F**k them! But who was that hack playing QB instead of Manning? What a slug!
The big news in College Football this week...Urban Meyer decided to step down as coach of the Florida Gators due to health concerns...Only to go Brett Favre two days later and say it's a leave of absence, and he'll be back...You know what...Whatever...I don't care...Do whatever you want, but don't keep calling the media every other day...I'm already sick of you Urban!
A bit of news on the little Beeze...Besides him making the nice list...We were informed Sunday evening that he would like to be an underwear model...Yep, he was striking poses and cracking his mother up...I gave him a 2 bits of advice...Stuff a sock in there...And start working on your abs...
Now, back to Christmas...I've always loved this time of year...If you celebrate Christmas...Don't stop...You see, I always would get down Christmas night...Because after all the fuss, it's all over so quickly...Well folks, there's 12 days of Christmas...Those days start on Christmas, and go to January 6th...Just thought I'd remind people Christmas wasn't always a commercial deal...It actually started as a religious thing...The 12 days took you from Christmas to the Feast of the Epiphany...Google that sh!t if you don't believe the dude who spent 12 years in Catholic prison...I mean school...
I'd like to close with a vote...Which of these two Christmas songs is more annoying...
This...
Or This...
Let me know...

Some of the Beeze's Guilty Pleasures (Music Edition)
It got a number of us sharing some of ours...So, I thought I'd share a taste of some of mine...
First up is the band Augustana...Mrs. Frag was wondering who the hell they are? So here ya go....
I also mentioned "Squok" by Genesis...It's from when they were cool, and not doing that crappy pop junk...Just sit back with a drink, or blaze up and enjoy this classic...
I also mentioned Journey...Yeah they were all about the power ballad...But they could rock...Neil Schon is an animal on guitar...And Steve Perry could sing like a mutha fucka...
In the comments of Mo's post I mentioned Pink, and Kelly Clarkson...I love female singers...The next guilty pleasure is from a band with a female singer...Paramore...I'm sure I may get some ball busting from this, but I dig it...Maybe it makes me feel young...
Here's another band with a female singer...K's Choice...A half assed Cleveland band called Big Sailor opened for them at the Agora in Cleveland back in '97 and I've been hooked ever since...
And since most people know Our Lady Peace is my biggest musical guilty pleasure...And since it was guitarist Steve Mazur's birthday yesterday, I'll close with this six pack out with them...This song is called "Paper Moon"...Great guitar solo!

Monday Moaning
Now, I'm going to move on to the death of Bengals receiver Chris Henry...I had commented on other blogs, and even though it may not have seemed like it...I bit my tongue a little...But now I'm gonna let it all fly...The day Henry died it was all over sports talk radio, and blogs...I was listening to Mad Dog Unleashed...Most of the time I don't agree with the Dog...But he's fun to listen to...He's always blowing a gasket, and stumbling over his own words...
He was talking to a caller who said he was a police officer...This guy didn't like Mad Dog Russo's outlook on Henry...And thought we should all feel the same about every life lost...Russo disagreed...So did I...I'm going to feel different about a soldier losing his life in battle...I'm going to feel different about a police officer or firefighter losing their life in the line of duty...I'm going to feel different for a helpless child that gets killed by disease, or a drunk driver...
How I feel about their deaths will not be the same as a football player who is a 3 and 4 timer loser...Henry's rap sheet was as long as Tiger Woods' driver...He should have been in jail getting a pink sock from Bubba...But instead, he was given chance after chance, after chance...Because he played football...If it was you or me, we would have been locked-up...Do I feel bad for his family...Yes, but I felt bad for them every time they had to see his mug on TV standing in a courtroom...
And since I mentioned Tiger Woods' driver...You should check this out...
http://yougabsports.com/pt/Tiger-Woods-Tells-it-Like-it-is/blog.htm
Now, I'd like to apologize for my lack of blogging lately...This time of year is crazy at the Fish House, and even though I've wanted to post things, I just haven't had it in me...Or haven't had the time...The kids and getting things together for Christmas can slow you down too...But back to the Fish House...
My Father always use to tell us, "Every man should have to serve at least two years for his country, and box one year in the Golden Gloves." I've got something that needs to be added to that list...Everyone...And I mean Everyone, should have to work at least one year in the restaurant business...Maybe then there wouldn't be so many assholes who go out to eat...
We have this pack of douche bags that come in once a week...There's no doubt in my mind, that these ass-hats go out of their way to be a pain in servers and cooks asses...There life is so empty, they have to come in and make themselves feel big by running people ragged...Then after our staff has busted it's ass, these tw@ts tip for sh!t...I'm sure they leave feeling very superior, only to go home, drink a bottle of wine alone, masturbate, and pass out crying...Enjoy douche bags!
Since I mentioned rubbing one out, this gal would like to wish you a Merry Christmas...
I need to get going here, But lets close with a little Christmas music from the lovely Natalie Gelman...
Merry Christmas to you and yours...

Monday Moaning
But here I am, I feel like I'm spinning out of control already...But one last thing about the party...Little Beeze loved it...Loved the girls all over the place...His buddy was like, "There's too much girls here." My boy was saying, "They're really nice...Let's see what they're doing." And of course, kissing as many as he could!
But let's get to important sh!t...The BCS bowls have been decided...While I think the Fiesta Bowl may be a great match up between Boise State and TCU...I'd rather see each of them play one of the big boys...This way, the BCS gets one of these two teams taking a loss...That and I think they were afraid of seeing Boise State take some one down...And TCU taking some one else down...That would make their stupid system look real bad...Well worse then it already does...
Cincinnati gets to take on Florida...They may have some trouble with the Gators defense...But they sure do know how to score points...I hope they make Tebow cry again...That's right Tim Tebow cried...I loved it!
I have to say, Saturday had some great games...Nebraska almost took down Texas...Pitt and Cincy had an awesome back and forth battle...But one I really enjoyed watching was USF at UConn...Anytime there's football and snow together...I'm watching it!
Sure there was no conference title at stake...It was just two schools playing for pride...And it was awesome...Another back and forth game where UConn won it on a last second field goal...I've been cracking on the Big lEast for a couple years now...But they've had some great games in conference this year...And it seems like the conference as a whole is getting stronger...
There was another game I was watching Saturday night...The Ohio High School, Division 1 State Championship...It was Cleveland Glenville vs Hilliard Davidson...If the Tarblooders of Glenville won...They would be the first Cleveland public school to win a state football championship...
The first half was a defensive battle...The strong defense continued in the second half...But late in the game Glenville went up 15-8...But the Wildcats of Davidson came back with lead by the legs of Quarterback Jake Trubiano, who rushed for 196 yards on 18 carries...The Wildcats scored with 1 minute and 4 seconds left...Then it was decision time...Go for the win, or the tie, and play for OT...Coach Brian White did what he did in 2006...They went for two...It paid off then, why not now...Trubiano took the ball in for the two-point conversion on a play they've never used in a game before..."It's the first time we've used it, but when we started practicing it a few weeks ago, coach said to me, 'This play will never fail,' " Trubiano said...
While I feel bad for the kids from Glenville, I gotta feel good for the kids from Hilliard Davidson... On the NFL front...The Browns lost, of course...But at least their offense scored some points...My adopted team, The New England Patriots...They kinda looked Brownish, as they sh!t the bed again this week, losing a game they should have won...
I wanna go to bed now, but I can't leave without talking about Fatty Weis...I guess he missed the media being able to take shots at him...So he put his big fat ass back in the line of fire by talking shit about Pete Carroll...This is from interview transcript from IrishIllustrated.com senior editor Tim Prister...
Weis responded: "Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news.
"He's doing it in Malibu and it's not national news. What's the difference? I don't understand. Why is it OK for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I'm scrutinized when I swear. I'm sorry for swearing; absolve my sins."
Really Fatty? Way to air out another coaches dirty laundry...True or not, it's a douche bag move...
Carroll responded by saying, "It's untrue, it's irresponsible and it's incredible he'd be talking about me like that." Later after talking to Weis, Carroll said, "He apologized profusely for being represented wrongly. I'm not commenting anymore."
What Carroll should have said was, 'That fat F**k! He's just jealous cause nobody in heir right mind would want to f**k him...Christ he hasn't seen his d!ck since 1972, that fat piece of shit...Have another cheeseburger and die Charlie!'
Or something like that!
That's it for now...Have a great week...

A Few Things That Are On MY Mind
During his time on the show, Ventura continuously threw it in their faces that they never served in the military and he did...He often brings up his time as a Navy SEAL...Problem is...He wasn't...He was a member of The Under Water Demolition Team, which didn't become part of the Navy SEAL's until 1983...He served from '69-'73...He brought his time in Vietnam..Except it's been reported over the years, that he spent his time during Vietnam in the Philippines...I respect anyone, and everyone who serves their country...But just because guy 1 served and guy 2 didn't, doesn't mean guy 2 doesn't have a right to his opinion...A bad example would be me, who's been cooking since I was 13, saying you're not aloud to have an opinion on food because you never cooked...It's childish, and narrow minded...
Ventura is a nut-job, and douche bag!
If you think I'm being a liberal b!tch...First, go screw...Second, I'll be posting a blog soon, blasting the Democratic party, for being a weak bunch of ninnies lately...
That's it for now...

Some Things You Should Read...
Every once and awhile I like to point out some sites, I like...Or just specific posts that I really like...
So here's a short list for ya...The first one is from Paul Rieckhoff...This man has been leading the charge for our country's veterans...And he's not just some talking head...He is a veteran, and one hell of a smart guy...This post he fired off tonight...But checkout the whole site... http://iava.org/blog/forgotten-cost-war-caring-veterans
The next blog site is "Agent of Change" written by New York rapper Vayrus Waise...I like the way he shares his insight, and really like the posts that include video of him throwing down his rhymes... http://www.agentofchangemusic.com/
For the Hockey fans out there...Check this out... http://fensterblau.blogspot.com/ Fensterblau gives you plenty of hockey info, but does it in his own style and isn't boring and tired, like the way "The Hockey News" has become...
Then of course there's my second home...http://yougabsports.com/ That's right, You Gab Sports, where you can read quality blogs written by the everyman...Or every woman...It's just a group of sports fans, like me, ranting and raving about whatever in the sports world has them pissed off today...No filter there...It's just like talking sh!t in a bar....
Of course I gotta pimp my buddy B-Dub, over there on his couch... http://www.tcpchronicles.com/ he gives it to ya how he sees it, like it or not...I guess the same is true with every site I'm posting here...They're all honest, whether you like it or not...
And speaking of honest...They don't get anymore honest then -A...My old friend from high school, has an incredible blog where she's willing to totally expose herself...Not in that way pigs! People think I share too much.(my wife)...-A lets it all fly at... http://www.weeklyadventuresordinarygirl.com/
Looking for a good book to make you think...Checkout "Atlas Shrugged." A friend recommended it, and I gotta say, I really like it...I didn't think I would, but he was right...I'm getting tired an lazy, so here's a link to give you an overview... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged
Next on my reading list is Theo Fleury's "Playing with Fire"...I hope I score it for Christmas!
So check these out, along with all the other great sites I have linked over on the right...
