OK, its officially too damned hot.

In the 90s everyday. Bad. Very bad.

Woo-hoo. Good shot of me and the Sheriff of Wall Street

So I got this email forward from my good friend and classmate
Erin Hurley about Spitzer coming to Syracuse... chuckled when I
got to the end of the message and read, "P.S. Remember to bring
your digital cameras so you can post your pictures on the photo
blog on the website!" I guess that means their official Spitzer2006
website, but the heck with that... the Great White Hope is going
up here. And that's all I have to say.


Can you tell which person is running for gov? The General looks like he's made it out to the beach a few more times than me this year...

Game 7 -- My Take

Blah, blah, blah, blah..... Tim Duncan this, Tim Duncan that.
The dude missed 17 shots and had 5 turnovers. And finally hit
some free throws.

The Pistons collapsed. 9 point lead in the 3rd, and then the
shot selection got real crappy, some inexcusable offensive boards
were given up, and they started doubling and tripling Mr. 10-for-27
leaving Ginobili open to drive and shoot 3s. Totally scripted
visiting team loss. I can't blame, them, however... valiantly
rising to the occasion in so many elimination games.

The Horry shit totally boggles my mind, though. Rooting for
the Pacers and the Nets against the Lakers, I had the thought
of shelling out a boat load of cash to go to a game, and bringing
with a sign that read, "Do Not Leave Horry Open." I am not making
this up.

Rasheed, what the fuck were you thinking?

Mendleson Music Critique

Before I dive in, anyone else think Gwen Stefani borrowed
rather liberally with her current hit from "The Milkshake Song"?
I'm having a hard time keeping the two separate...

Mucho Popular

New Coldplay: YAWN. Like the hit song but nothing else is
doing it for me. Yet. Pretty confident this won't happy.

New Beck: YAWN. Dude, you lost your mojo after Midnight
Vultures. Back then, the music was infused with this unique
creative signature and energy. I don't know what to write other
than its gone and your attempting to settle into this Dylan niche
is swell, but I'm not buying or listening to your recs anymore.

New White Stripes: YE-AH! I really like. Super-over-hyped band,
but genuinely talented and genuinely different sounding from
all the crap on the radio. But can we let Meg take the lead
vocals on more than one song, Jack?

Hip Hop:

Common: Havn't heard enuf yet. Seems like it could be good.
I'm tickled to learn the dude used to be a member of the Alkoholics.

Blackalicious & Gift of Gab: I'm going to give these folks a real
try. Starting from the beginning. Bought Black's first album today
for 7 bucks. Great song, "Don't let money change ya" Good sign:
I've downloaded nice-sounding songs off Limewire that don't seem
to be on any studio release records.

Indy:

Any band called, "The something." You are fucking worthless.
I hate you. In 10 years, no one will remember you, and my youth
will be gone. Rasheed's defensive decision making angers me
less than your shallow, shitty tunes.

The Shins are OK, if a little too fruity. Micah Weinberg and
Jason Persudy agree The Deadly Snakes rock out.

Stop the Presses

Holy Toledo! Two exciting thangs to report:

First, after penning last night's bit about quitting
the trade, I googled "David Weinberg Blog" and for the
first time found this page a couple times on the first
page of hits. This might change things. We're on the
map now, baby. Business is gonna boom. Those 300 hits
are going to jump to 800, or somethin', by the end of
the month such that we'll know (royal we) that its not
just the rents, the fiancee, and Josh Chandler occasionally
checking the thing. Though I do worry sometimes about
who might stumble across it (i.e. the fiancee's rents, though
after their hearty enjoyment of the Sideways script, I should
probably stop sweating it). At any rate.

Second, looks like one of my favorite three bands
may be getting back on the saddle after 24 years.
For those of you who havn't read my friendster profile or
can't deduce the group, this would be Pink Floyd. I'd
try to go see em' in London on July 2, but I've got to
graduate from Maxwell on July 1, go to New Hampshire for
a wedding on July 2, and Continental offers the cheapest
flight out right now at a cool $1200 smackers. Bad timing.
At any rate, I'm excited. Truly one of the greatest rock
bands of all time. I remember playing Dark Side on a car
trip with pops a few years back and he hadn't heard the album.
This is strange as it was on the US charts for basically all
of the 70s. I guess you lose touch with popular culture a
bit after falling for a Norwegian Lutheran, having kids, and
getting really into softball. But I still love you dad,
and I cherish you and ma brining me into the world the year
Animals was released, one of the all time greats. Ok, too
much information. Whatever. Roll a J, make a white Russian,
throw on The Wall... "Right on, Man." Its a good day.

Cashing in the Blog

Kicking the Blog

Punching my last Blog...

Yeah, I don't really have the will or interest or passion
or drive or desire or whatever to keep on with this e-trend
of the early 21st Century. I think its what drove Hemingway and
Plath to pull the plug. Frankly, I can't fathom why I'm not
piss drunk on Wild Turkey bourbon right this very moment as
I write about my intention to hang up the e-spurs.

Ah-ha! But I have a masterful solution! I have two fine
brothers of some repute and literacy and together the three of
us may be able to rightly carry the blog torch down into the
annals of history. Did that make any sense whatsoever? Ah,
who cares.

Yes, this was my idea. Not Micah's, who will surely claim it as
his own as he has done repeatedly through his 29-year life. Stealing
ideas from me at a young age, he was. Seen Episode 3 and Hayden's
brilliant acting yet, I have not. But I digress. To his credit,
he did set up the webpage.

Yee-haw.

PS-- Congratulations Seth (younger brother), you lovable sage hippy,
on your graduation from the one and only Ohio University. You are
the coolest dude I know. Way cooler than myself. And I value that.

PPS-- If I am unemployed for any extended period of time in the NYC
look for a swift and massive 180 on the 'no longer blogging on my
own' claim stated here and now. Look for my darts game to improve
something fierce, as well.
