"One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues can be faked. Depravities are real."

-- Klaus Kinski

Oh, you Pittsburgh Pirates, how I love/hate you.

You glorious bastards always win on opening day and you make me think that it's going to be different.  It's like I'm trapped in an abusive relationship.  A few months ago you beat the shit out of me with a belt.  You poured salt into my wounds.  Time has now healed them.

Sure, you wear the same uniforms, you play the same game.  Mostly even, it's the same players.  But I can't deny the youthful exuberance of opening day.  When everyone is tied.  When Adam LaRoche hasn't started his horrible April hitting slide.  When a middle reliever hasn't blown a 8 run lead in the 7th inning.  When. you get the point.

Here I am again, about to get a cleat to the face.

It's awful what the mangement of Shriners is allowing to happen. They're wasting their endowment trying to operate a charitable organization like a Fortune 500 company. The head of the board isn't even a Shriner. How can that person truly know what the organization is all about? They certainly were not taught about it wherever they recieved their MBA from. Shriners refuses to actively seek funding from the public. I'm willing to bet if there were a MDA-type telethon for the Shriners over Memorial Day weekend they'd recieve more than enough to INCREASE funding to all those sick and disabled kids they're pulling services from.

I like my PC again.

I just watched Zack & Miri Make a Porno (note: HILARIOUS) and I'm pretty sure I'm as funny/talented as Seth Rogen.  I am surely wrong.

I tend to dislike awards shows.  I flatly hate some of them.  Irritating people who've done nothing blathering on about how great they and the people around them are.

As you know, they changed the Oscars this year, tried to tone it down a bit.  It worked.  I had my questions about Jackman, but he was great.  They removed bands playing outside of the score performance, really just made it about the show.  This was literally the first time I've ever sat through the whole thing.  Ever.
