Again, I tell you that the police should put radar cameras on every road. They would make enough money to fund everything that the government needs. There is no law in existence that is broken more than speeding. Cameras would go a long way to slowing people down. The only way to stop people from speeding is to hit them in the wallet. The more money they get fined, the greater the chance of them deciding to slow down. Money talks! The only ones who oppose this are speeders... duh!
The terrible service that we all receive from businesses is mind-boggling. I had two recent 'situations' that confirm that NO ONE provides good service. I needed my eaves cleaned and I called a company to do it. After they came and assessed the job, I got a call from they office to set up an appointment. The lady told me that they would like to come on Monday the 18th. I told her that was great, and I would be home. She said I didn't have to be there... blah, blah, blah. I remember specifically the conversation and wrote down the appointment on my iCal. I waited around on Monday and by late afternoon they had not come. MDW decided to call and see what was up. The lady tells MDW that she told me Thursday and that is when they will be there. BULLSHIT. She said Monday. Ok, so Thursday it is. I go to the farm on Tuesday and when I get home, there is a note in my mailbox that they cleaned my eaves. It is Tuesday, not Thursday. WTF? They said Monday, claimed it was Thursday and came Tuesday. Didn't they learn about days of the week in grade one? Retards!
It is great that you can buy things on line, eliminating stores from the process. However, we now have to deal with delivery companies. I was getting a delivery from Costco and the lady called to tell me that they would come Thursday. I was unavailable and told them. Friday? Going out of town. Monday, she asked and I said sure that is great. She says ok, but we will have to charge you for storage. Huh? $25 per day. I went 'ka-mencky' (MDW's made up word for crazy). After some back and forth, in which she said I didn't listen to what she had said (bullshit), she changed her mind and said Monday was fine without charging me. Why did she tell me that if we waited for Monday, she would have to charge me and now it was ok? Back-peddling Bee-atch.
By the way, on Sunday some retard came to my door and after ringing the door bell, opened my door and knocked...
Soccer has been riveting. Goals galore. Nothing like penalty kicks to decide an important game. I am falling behind in my stupid soccer fact, and I don't really care that much about soccer so...
LBJ won a championship. Good for him. I can hardly write that without throwing up a little in my mouth. LBJ was great. He has always been great. There has never been a basketball player with his combination of freakish athletic abilities and skills. I have never said he wasn't a great, great player. But winning the way he has won taints any championships that he gets. He had to gather together an all-star team to win. He couldn't do it himself, or at least he didn't have the stick-to-it-ness to try. He did the summer basketball thing and make an all star team that beats everyone because of talent, not hard work and team work. To me basketball is about making a team from the players that you have, that team playing, practicing, losing/winning together. That is what makes winning so special. Just getting all the best players together on one team is like shooting fish in a barrel. What accomplishment is that? LBJ can win five championships and they will all be tainted. If he won one championship in Cleveland, that would have been the sign of greatness. If he wasn't such a choking dog, they would have won last year, and they should in a few in the years to come. Of course if OKC would get rid of Perkins and Westbrook, they could win a few also.
I could not bring myself to watch Miami win. I didn't watch the final. I didn't care. I knew LBJ was going to win. The look on his face in game six against Boston told me all I needed to know. He was determined. He was focused. I had never seen him look that focused. He wasn't trying to make everyone happy. He wanted to fucking win and when you are as good as he is, it was inevitable that Miami was going to win. He is unstoppable.
Blue Jays drive me crazy. There pitching is brutal. If you are a starter or a reliever, you must be terrified these days. If was a starter, I would decline going to the mound. Four starters have gone down the past two weeks with major injuries. Every time a starter goes to the mound they seem to get hurt. I wouldn't go.
The relievers suck. They suck horribly. They should be afraid that they will get knocked silly every time they go out on the mound. The relievers has a unique pitching style: it's called chuck and duck. It is amazing that no one has gotten killed by line drives that the relievers throw. Blue Jays have no chance improving with the relievers they have. Out with the old, in with the new.
The second base man Johnson sucks big time. He can not catch a ground ball to save his soul and he strikes out an unbelievable amount. It is tough on the lousy pitchers when they finally get a ground ball hit and it invariably ends up E-4. Between Johnson and Encarnation, the entire right side of the infield is a error waiting to happen. Luckily Encarnation can hit home runs because he is fucking time bomb when trying to catch anything. In the dictionary, there is picture of him under the definition of Designated Hitter.
Isn't baseball great? I think what they need is few more unwritten rules, don't you?
Ohhh, Portugal and Spain later today. I just can't wait...
