manny being manny

spring has sprung...baseball season is underway and im content w the chisox start. i do have a bit of anxiety pertaining to their pitching, but with peavy soon to come i hope these worries turn to glory.

being 15 minutes from the arena, i tried to catch the "caniac" fever of the carolina hurricanes fan base. unfortunately there will not be any caniac playoff fever this season, as the "'canes" dropped their final game of the season, along with the final playoff spot...better luck next year.

this past tuesday i went to "the brewery" in raleigh. by the name you would think it is a bar/restaurnat. but no, its a music venue no larger than a 3 bedroom apartment. not only was the size something to behold, but the walls filled with graffiti throughout the entire venue made it that much more enjoyable. as my second visit to the areas live music scene, i am thuroughly impressed with their venues and the dirtiness of them. as for the bands, senses, fail, the ghost inside, and man overboard (i did miss"transit"), the opening bands stole the show, which made for a sub par senses fail set.

thank goodness i purchased my first set of golf clubs the same week as the masters...who needs lessons when i can watch hours of play by the worlds best and quite simply acquire the skills by osmosis?

we are all aware of the show "tosh.0" on comedy central, and i must admit, when listening to his cd he brings up a good point. the bit goes something like:

"why does barry bonds need an asterisk next to his name in the record books, when babe ruth doesn't have an asterisk, and he was allowed to set records before african-americans were allowed to play baseball"

sure, its a comedy bit, but it does speak some truth.

until next time.
