Questioning your dedication to Sparkle Motion.
Lots of catching up to do.
If you're a faithful reader of this blog (i love you in ways I'm not prepared to deal with yet), then you've been left with a few cliffhangers.
But before we get to those, I've got one more Olympic observation I gotta make.
So everybody's up in arms about the fact that the Chinese gymnastics team is made up of a middle school Sparkle Motion squad. Apparently, you have to be 16 to be in the Olympics. The problem is, a couple of these Hannah Montana fans actually won some medals and now everyone (probably this guy) wants to take that hardware away.
Here's the thing: If you're 12 years-old, and you can beat an adult at anything that doesn't involve texting or Dance Dance Revolution, I say you deserve that medal. Actually, you should probably get a special medal made out of something better than gold.
Just sayin'.
Anyway.
To the cliffhangers.
First of all, that argument with Scott Heisel I needed your help with? Yep, I was on the side that argued that Toadies sound a little like Every Time I Die. I didn't realize that the clip I put up only had a few seconds of the ETID song (and it wasn't the time that REALLY sounds like Toadies), but I think the point got across. And I think that since nobody expressed as much doubt as Scott Theodore Heisel, I'm gonna consider this one a win.
Second cliffhanger.
That fantasy football league? Oh, it went down.
I received a zillion (53) submissions to be in the league which was crazy considering I sincerely didn't think a zillion (53) people read this blog.
So if you submitted and I didn't get back to you--I'm very, very sorry. Next season, I'll figure out a more scientific way to apply. As it stands now, I pretty much went with the people who built my ego up (every time one of you fulfills my need for affirmation from others, Jason Pettigrew gets closer and closer to doing this to me).
Anyway.
So the draft went well.
For others.
I did okay, I think. Better than Scott.
And that was really my only goal.
(Scott took the Bears kicker in something like the second round. If you know anything about fantasy football, that's like deciding to see a Sugar Ray cover band instead of going to a Rival Schools reunion show.)
But I made the league public, so if you wanna see how things are going week to week, feel free to check it out. (I'm the Dandy Van Slykes. Lemme know what you think of my team. And refer to a few lines up to see how that will affect Pettigrew.)
Okay.
So I gotta run.
I'm actually flying out to L.A. tomorrow to hang out with the girlfriend and catch a couple more Anthony Green shows. Oh, and freaking Radiohead at the Hollywood Bowl.
(I know that last sentence wasn't really a sentence. I'm too excited to adhere to The Man's strict grammatical standards.)

i think you have an alright team, you have good runnings backs if one can get a deal with his team(jackson) and julius jones has the protection that he did in dallas. some players that don't get a lot of touches or are on bad teams that are hoping to turn it around. i hope your players do you proud or try to swing some deals or look to the waiver wire.
Sparkle Motion...loves it! That little allusion/simile will keep a smile on my face for hours...or at least until my dreaded boss gets here.
you know that ronny kid has a real great team i mean like miles ahead of the "competition". that was a good pick putting him in the leauge. good pick Tim
love
-ronny
box seats, no big deal.
“Now, girls. I want you to concentrate. Failure is not an option. And Bethany? If you feel the need to vomit up there, just swallow it.”
I never did get the chance to submit an entry for your Fantasy Football league. Good luck with it though!
Ahhhhhgsfdkf Radiohead.
(I guess that didn’t count as a sentence either. Lucky.)
It is not a win. I have to still side with Scott on this one. This pains me - not because I don't like Scott (he seems like a decent kid) but because you actually made a comparison that made me cringe. ETID? No.
Really. NO.
Oi Timmy. If it weren't for the stellar Darko blog title, I might have declared my love affair with your musical taste as dead as my sex life. And that shit is dead with a capital D.
p.s. that Venice Marmots owner really knows her shit. Just sayin.
