17 Albums that have Rocked my world.

17 Albums that have Rocked my world.

Think of 15 albums, CDs, LPs that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life. Dug into your soul. Music that brought you to life when you heard it. Royally affected you, kicked you in the wasu, literally socked you in the gut, is what I mean. Then when you finish, tag 15 others, including me. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill. Get the idea now? Good. Tag, you're it!

I did 17, because I couldn't leave any of those out.

! & 2 - Dysfunction, Break The Cycle
3-7 Revolutions Per Minute, Siren Song Of the Counter Culture, The Sufferer and The Witness, Appeal to Reason
8. 9.0 Live.
9. Mafia
10 & 11. Good Mourning, Crimson
12. Don't You Fake it
13 - 16. Saturate, We Are Not Alone, Phobia
17. 2006 Warped tour

The Best lead off man in baseball

When it comes to talking about being a team player I think that a lead off hitter describes "team" fairly good. I don't think there is anybody better at the position than Philly's man "JRoll" Jimmy Rollins.

Jimmy, and lead off men in general have probably the most important offensive job in baseball. Start the game off right. set the tempo. Now, When Rollins steps up to the plate for that lead off bat he's not specifically thinking “Home run” if it happens OK, but his job, like I said is just to get on base, to be that team player. So you see, as you might imagine sometimes Rollins stats might suffer, maybe some columns of the stats don’t look as good as others as he would like, maybe he wants more RBI (Runs batted in) or maybe he just wants to go out there and start the game off with a home run. But that’s not what a team player does. He makes sacrifices for his team and his fellow players. Having talent is GREAT, but if your not a team you can have all the talent in the world and still miss the post season (Read: Dallas Cowboys)

That’s why I won’t really care if T.O. is released from the cowboys next season. I believe his mouth has gotten bigger than his stats. 2008 was a put up or shut up year for the Cowboys, we didn’t put up, but T.O never shut up either. He’s got “ALL THAT TALENT” but in his own mind he’s better than he really is and end the end all that makes him is a a non team playing pompous jerk. No one like a pompous a jerk.

I just had a thought. How sweet would it be if the cowboys picked up “the little animal” James - I can’t spell his last name- ittis. in the draft? We need corner/safeties more than LB’s though.

After an entire week of being up till 5Am (mostly because of playing Halo) Sunday morning I went to be at 1AM and I thought “sweet I’m golden now, I’ll get a good nights sleep (because I’m tired!) and get up early for church and not sleep through that. Woke up at 4ish WIDE AWAWE. Tried to go back to sleep, but didn’t happen, so, whaddya know, 5AM rolls around I decide to sit up and write this… Oh the Irony.

Beanie Beanie Beanie....

Just heard on the WTAP news that Beanie has declared for the NFL draft. I've got a few things to say about Beanie that you may or may not agree with and may or may like.

Beanie Could have been one of the best backs OSU has ever seen if it was not for the fact that he's the biggest wussess that OSU has ever seen at the posistion. Out of all the injurys he's had in his injury ridden career I stop and ask myself how many are legit? Just take this year for example the USC game
Beanie won't play. Beanie will play. No, Beanie Won't play. Instead of playing Beanie RAN up and down the sideline trying to pump up his team. Obvisoully he should stick to running than pep talks. His last game as a buckeye as well. When he came off the field he didn't look hurt, after the game Tressel said "I think it might be a groin" now the official word is that it was a concusion. Now, I know that some guys think with thier - Er, wait, I think you'll probably know where i was going with that head/groin thing, but we'll keep this almost a familly blog.

To me Its just obvious that Beanie was not willing to give body, Mind, soul to The Buckeyes because he had a big payday in mind. in 08 it was fairly obvious to see he was avoiding contact, trying to get out of bounds, and not willing to do what needed to be done in certain cases. But, where will he go in the draft? he HAS indeed had an injury ridden career. I Doubt he goes in the top ten overall, but he'll be atleast the 4-5 back taken.

I know that I shouldn't even say this, because if the cowboys running game is healthy, It will be steller, but I just hope and hope that Jerry stays away from Beanie. I could see Beanie as a drama machine.

I hate to say it about a buckeye, but sometimes the truth hurts. Just like frozen potatoes thrown at your head.

Aaah, I love a good sunday afternoon.

Sunday NFl countdown on ESPN, best show ever. I say this even though I really can't stand "The swami" and his "WHOOOP" But I think everyone else, ESPECIALLY KENNY MAYNE really makes up for Berman.

If your REALLY seriouslly interested in how my christmas went then you'll have to look around and find it on one of my other blogs, I won't fill up this space with it. THIS space is speficially reserved today for some things in sports that bothers me.

1. The snow Angel:
I Don't like the pats, but despite myself I like Wes Welker. How can you not? with Moss being the recieving prima donna Welker never really says anything he just puts up numbers. I dig that. As you may have heard, last week in New England there was snow EVERYWHERE and Welker, after making a touchdown makes a snow angel. He got fined for "childish something something" Now, I don't think he shoulda been fined, BUT the rule of the game is that you can't go to the ground for any celebration, THUS maybe there should have been a fine, who knows, what I DO know is that we should probably start talking about.
(Maynve event just come on, I must watch) ... ... ... ... it wasn't as good this week, Mayne was barely there.
2. 423 million.
Who else could it be except the Yanks? not only do they take Burnett from the Jays, but just the fact that they pay more than 20 MIL of taxes for exceeding thier salary cap last season, but they come in this off season and just blow the bank out. NEVER FORGET that the team that busted thier salary cap last year didn't make the playoffs, they had to watch one of the lowest pay roll teams play (but unfortunaly lose) the World series.

3. Leadership and lack there of.
It's simple right now to be a fan of the cowboys and the(basketball) buckeyes. they both have the same problem. No field general. For the bucks, its the mere fact of Lighty being hurt and out of the lineup. Without him the Offense just doesn't even know what to do. (but their "D" was sad too) Yesterday in the stinging loss to our southern neighbors I think they even forgot the concept of the ball in basket. No one in Ohio will suffer more for that loss than us in WV bordering, SE Ohio.
The cowboys on the other hand haven't had a solid team leader (ecspecially on offense) maybe since Aikman quit slinging for them, deffinatly not since Emmitt. They have SO MUCH talent on both sides, but they have proven SO WELL that all that talent is all for naught if you don't have leadership and drive.

Alright folks, there is your nugget of knowledge for now. I'm gonna go play somee Xbox while I wait for the cowboys game.

Wheres the LOVE!?

I heard awhile ago that There was a write up in the times about the WMOA Christmas zoo, I was in the studio when Mitch Casey walked into the Working man store (I know this cause i Kyle said on air "Mitch Casey, How we doing today?" I have it recorded and it's an mp3 file on my puter because I record alot of my on air work) BUT ANYWAYS, I just now got around to looking for and reading the article (and you can to via the link i posted)

I just wanna know where the love is. where is the mention of "the weekend guy" I feel so left out, so destitute. Is it not bad enough that I suffer the hurt of a COMPLTELY demoralizing Cowboys loss only to find out that the Marietta Times does not love me!?!?!! What a pity.

On the other hand, I think Casey took a GREAT picture of Kyle, who most everytime I've seen someone put a camera in his face a hand shoots up over it.

On a slightly different note:
If you like to read and you think you might like to start reading any book based on the "Halo" video game read "The Cole protocol" by Tobias S. Buckell. It takes place before any of the games, so it would be a good starter book, but it takes place AFTER the book "contact Harvest".
