1. I hope ESPN realizes they have completely jumped the shark now. In the past few years, SportsCenter has become utterly unwatchable, as the sportscasters now focus the show entirely on themselves and how stupid they can make themselves sound. They all think they’re so funny. You ever been to a comedy club in a small city or seen a stand-up comedy show at 1am on some random, shitty cable tv channel? That’s SportsCenter now. Tripe. Why do they all have to be so desperate to be the next Patrick-Olberman phenomenon? This LeBron James business just cements it for them – shark. jumped.

2. Laurel Canyon. The book by this name is the first book I’ve read on the IPad. I am undecided if I will read another one in this. I think it’s awesome for short burst reading like magazines, but maybe not for books. That said, the book itself was a fun read, detailing the wondrous time in the 60s and 70s for that part of California. The stories about Joni Mitchell, CSNY, Jackson Browne, Frank Zappa and so many others who were neighbors there carries the book. If you’re a music and pop culture fan, well worth the read and it won’t take you long.

3. Contact lenses. Last night I played in a hockey game with two contact lenses in my left eye. Why? Because I flubbed installation and it got stuck way up in my eyeball. Due to the never stop nature of my life right now, i simply didn’t have time to try and fish it out, just like I don’t have time to go back and capitalize that “I” back there. I keep thinking I am so ready to just say the hell with it and just get lasik but then I remember – it’s surgery. On. My. Eyeballs. That shit freaks me out man! By the way, the lens presented itself this morning after my shower. Slept with it.

4. It’s getting to be time for very interesting questions from the boys. Tonight I got three doozies: “where did you buy me?” “how come doggies don’t pee out of their tails?” and “how did you make me.” gonna be a fun year.
