Apr 7 2009 - Return of Baseball and The Hills edition
Hope your favorite team won yesterday - mine did.
It's always a great day on Opening Day in Major League Baseball - one of the Angels announcers said it best: Opening Day is our January 1st. I certainly don't doubt that statement at all.
It's too early to tell who will do what this year - some are looking at both the Dodgers and Angels to win their respective divisions - the Cubbies will do the same in the NL Central, and look for Philadelphia, White Sox and maybe the Red Sox to win their division titles towards September.

The final season (?) of The Hills is underway, and it was an explosive start too. Reality or otherwise, Spencer showed exactly what he is - but at the same token, that other dude who texted Stephanie was sticking his nose in a place where it didn't belong. And that was an invitation of having your butt lit up. I say take both of these clowns to the Olympic Auditorium and let them duke it out there, but not in public.
As expected, the storyline is pretty much in the same area code as 90210 went towards the end of its initial run: 20-something year olds learning to be grown men and women. All of us have done that too - take a look at me and my friends from the old Sunrise Mountain days. We lived it up in Las Vegas, did all kind of things and enjoyed life and being around great friends that some of us grew up with since grade school. Yes, there were disagreements, and fights too - who else HASN'T been through that? Now today, all of us youngins from those days have gone different directions - some of us, including yours truly, no longer live in Las Vegas. Regardless, none of us, including myself, will never forget the glory days that we lived over a quarter of a century ago.
Whitney Port has moved on to New York - Lauren Conrad will be next. It's been a good ride for these young girls and guys - but reality is starting to set in on them, and its time to spread the wings and fly. All of them - Whitney, Lauren, that lowdown bum Spencer, Heidi, Bromance, Audrina and Lo will have bigger and better things going for them between now and the next 10 if not 15 years.
One other thing - have you heard Chester French? This group has some pretty good tunes they've released - give it a listen.

With that said - I am now working on taxes - the worst time of the year. I know how stressful it is to be working on taxes, let alone having to give up the dinero to Uncle Sam. Ugh. I was in the minus territory last year (but got it back, thanks to Bushixon), hopefully this year it will be different.
After all of that, I will head out to get rid of these plastic bottles and cans - there's a place in Inglewood that I can go in and out pretty quickly - no need to redeem anything. A word to the wise: never shop in Inglewood, unless you want to pay almost 10% sales tax. What a joke!!!
This past Sunday I began a strict regimen of more water and less food. Due to this ankle problem that I've had for the past five years, I've slowed down and put on quite a bit. There are days when I'm a bit weak, and other days when I have a lot of energy. I may have it X-Rayed to see what the status of the ankle is - and possibly determine if I may need scope surgery or otherwise. It's a bummer that I can't do the things that I used to do 20 years ago, and I need to correct that right here and now.

That's it for now. Till next time...
