Good Day and welcome to my blog.

Before now I have always resisted starting a blog thinking that I do not really have anything I want to say that people would care about or anything I really want to share.

But now I feel that there are good reasons to have a blog: To share information, links and the like. But for me the best reason is that I found that blogs can be like having someone's ear to give your two cents about things, even if no one is listens or cares. It's out there. So for those of you that are reading this, welcome and I hope that I do hold your interest to keep coming back and I hope that I do not piss too many people off.

That being said I have several things that I need to get off my chest.

- My associate on another blog stated that he would rather see the Red Sox beat the Yankees rather than the Twins to go (and hopefully win) the World Series. He does have a point, but I have another motivation. The only reason I would like to beat the Empire instead of the Twinkies in the ALCS is because if the Sox do happen to win it all, I do not want to hear those blowhard Yankee fans say that our championship isn't real because we didn't face them to do it. We heard a similar faction from Denver a few years ago when the Pats went to the Super Bowl in '96 because we didn't play "The Best Team" in the AFC championship (The Broncos lost in the first round). Of course I'll take ANY championship the Red Sox or any Boston team give us, but after 85 years I don't want anyone trying to cheapen it.

- Speaking of the Yankees, my wife was telling me that my older daughter's friend wants a red fitted Yankees cap for Christmas and asked me to to buy one for her. As childish as it sounds (and I know it does I admit it), I said no way. I'll buy her a Red Sox cap or pretty much any other team, but I will not buy myself or anyone ANYTHING Yankees. Adding insult to injury is the fact that said teen is not even a Yankees fan or even a fan of baseball and basically it's a fashion thing. I told my wife that she can get one at Lids in the mall and if she buys it just don't tell me about it. Sorry, I have my pride.

- Did you see the picture of Halle Berry in the Catwoman outfit? Are you kidding me? Sure she looks really good in it and it's way better than the vinyl outfit from "Batman Returns", but it's an outfit that is made to create pre-release converation and nothing more. I rather see time and effort made toward the little things like, y'know, acting, story and direction? It's crap like this that made Daredevil suck. ("Sure, it doesn't make any sense, but doesn't it look cool?")
