Hello to everyone and anyone!

Well, I guess, it's about time I ranted and raved to someone, other than my wife, my various and most of the time off the wall thoughts and opinions. Okay, too many commas but I'm just starting. I'm not gonna bore you with a biography, I'll let you find out bits of this and that as I go along. Yeah, I used gonna instead of going to. I might as well write like I talk. Sure I can be as grammatical as the next idiot, but I want to vent, not worry about style. Well, maybe I'll worry later.
See, I worry as much as anyone. I have opinions as much as anyone. But seeing that I don't have any kids to give me a ready audience who I can force to listen to me, I might try this on for size and find out if anyone gives a hoot. I thought of a few words stronger than hoot but I'm not sure what the vulgarity levels are on this site.
Now I have many, many interests. I love my wife but this isn't a "I love my wife" blog. Heck, I'm not even sure what exactly a blog is. I read a few columnists, mostly sports, and they call what they write blogs, but I just read because I'm a sports junkie. I've never really checked out any blog sites, not really sure if I'd be interested in anyone's thoughts. Really arrogant, huh? Here I am spouting about what I think and what I'd like to write and I say who gives a crap about other folks. I used crap there, by the way, to see if crap can stay. we'll find out.
Now about sports, I love them. Mostly watching them because i've always kind of sucked at playing them. I was pretty good back in Little League, but we moved when I should have been progressing and never really got a shot at improving. I played football, but I was just big, kinda strong and smart, not athletically gifted. Later I picked up golf but I could never get the damn ball to go where I wanted it to go. Played it for years, still was terrible. After that, I stayed mainly with watching them, not playing them. But I'm a junkie. A total sports junkie. There are only a few that don't interest me. I was actually toying with naming this a sports blog of a sort, but aren't there enough of them around already? And I do want to write about other things, I really do. But just a warning, I will write quite a bit about sports whenever the feeling hits me, okay? In fact, while writing this now I have a soccer match going on in the background. Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, Champions League semifinal. It's cool if you have no idea what I'm talking about, but I love soccer. One of the few Americans that follows it and loves it. Go Man U!
I also love movies. Old ones, some new ones, comedies, action, anything with the word 'epic' as an adjective, some dramas, horror, sci-fi...anything mainly, except chick flicks. And, lately, anything with vampires. Freakin' vampires! They're everywhere! Are you kidding me? Seems that if a movie is gonna suck, throw some vampires in it and it makes money. Are kids today that stupid? They must be. My wife and I also watch some TV but most of it today revolves around reality and neither of us like the reality stuff very much. Exceptions: Jersey Shore - me, Jerseylicious - her, American Idol auditions - both of us, but only the auditions (who wants to hear these idiots sing the same old crud?), Hard Knocks - me, especially the last season concerning the New York Jets, my favorite football team. It was freakin' awesome! Past seasons were really good too, but the Jets and Rex Ryan were great! Even the wife watched, and that's saying something.
Other TV shows we both watch seem to revolve around cartoons: the Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park. We watch NBC's Thursday night lineup starting with The Office (too bad Carell's leaving), 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation most of the time. We don't mind if we miss that though. Most of the rest of TV sucks big time. I mean it's awful. Unwatchable. Boring. Repetitive. Repetitive. Thank God for sports and movies.
I'm gonna leave for now, the second half is about to start. If anyone reads this and wants more, really great, I mean that. If no one does, okay as well. It's not gonna stop me from spouting, venting, opining, etc. I hope someone (probably myself) gets something out of this. Whew! That's a lot of typing.
