There's Monday Night Football On TONIGHT!

I thought I just let all my faithful readers know that since today is Monday and it's during the football regular season, there will be a football game played tonight on ESPN. It's called Monday Night Football since it is football played on Monday night. I'm going to probably watch it.

TOM VEK!!! WHERE ARE YOU?

Four and a half years ago Tom Vernon-Kell realeased the cd "We Have Sound" under the name Tom Vek.

(Right: Tom Vek's hand signal "TV")

I was a Junior in high school when it came out and I vividly recall seeing Tom's music video for the first single "C-C (You Set the Fire in Me)" on the late great International Music Feed. I bought the disc the very next time I entered a Best Buy, and soon I was grooving along to Tom's eclectic tunes.

After a few months, Tom Vek showed up less and less on my iPod. But now, almost half a decade later, I decided to take a trip back to high school by play We Have Sound. I quickly search his name into my Google task bar search box, ready to find out the name(s) his newest cd(s).

Unfortunately--after visiting his Wikipedia page, official website, and myspace page--I found that he hasn't recorded any new music since 2005. His website says, I assume as a joke, "Tom continues to work on the follow up to 2005 debut 'We Have Sound'" If this is true, then this cd will be the most baller shit ever!

So Tom Vek, if you read this, please make new music. You're awesome. (also, if you read this, you'll be the first person to read my blog!)

Holy Crap! Figgins might go to the Mariners!

Just read this article. I would love this sooooo much!

Just picturing Ichiro and Figgins at the top of that lineup makes me smile. Add that with Lopez becoming a stud run producer, and suddenly this lineup that finished 28th in runs scored last year could actually out score some teams.

Pair lineup that with King Felix and maybe a decent free agent pitcher to will replace Bedard. And maybe Luke French or Ian Snell can be decent for a while. Then before you know it, the M's could be in the wild card hunt by next September.

Even though I'm not a Seattle fan, I would love to see them in the post-season again. And even though getting Figgins probably wouldn't put them in the playoffs this year, but it would definitely be a step in a winning direction, which is awesome.

Minnesota Twins Baseball

(from a letter that I recently wrote and slid under the door of Target Field)

Dear Minnesota Twins, let me start off by saying that I'm a big fan. When I get older I want to be a baseball team just like you. Now down to business...

I know you're not paying me for my advice on player personnel (not yet at least), but PLEASE bring Joseph A. Crede back! Don't waste money on Adrian "Shit-Face" Beltre (I don't like him so I made up a mean middle name for him) or Pedro "[insert insult here]" Feliz. Please save money and get that Crede back. He apparently feels really good after his last surgery (according to his agent, but still playing on grass will help) AND I just read this little article today! Unless Corey Koskie has recovered from his concussion, you've gotta sign Crede.

Sincerely, Future Vice President of Minnesota Twins Player Personnel (obviously not true, but I'd gladly be an intern or something)

P.S. Have you thought of have a state-wide bake sale with all the proceeds going to Joe Mauer's contract extension?

I'm blogging...

...because I believe that the Internet can read everything that is posted on it, and I have a lot of stuff I want to tell the Internet.

"There Ain't No Fool Like An Educated Fool!"

C Money.

Possibly the best, whitest, most christian rapper to ever come out of the white, Christian rapper scene.

With instant classics such as "God Has Not Promised", "Hi, My Name Is C Money", and "Educated Fool", there is no question that C Money will soon be as familiar a name in the rap scene as Jay-Z or 50 Cent.

His video for "Educated Fool" (which can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5th5MewyeUo ) is almost as much a masterpiece as the song itself. There is no question that not only is C Money incredibly talented when it comes to making incredible rap songs, but he is also very talented at making music videos for his songs.

So go visit...
www.myspace.com/cmoneylikesjesus to listen to his music
or
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5th5MewyeUo to watch his video.

Enjoy.
