Report: USA beats China in basketball with score of 101-70

The USA played a very tough basketball game against China, both countries were both doing good and it was a hot game. Thanks to basketball NBA legend Kobe Bryant for doing most of the slam dunks to save the day.

Report: Brock Lesnar wins UFC match against Heath Herring last night at UFC 87…

Former WWE star, Brock Lesnar “The Next Big Thing”, won his match against UFC fighter Heath Herring last night at UFC 87 ppv. Brock Lesnar won the match by bringing some of his fake pro wrestling into the mix influenced by his WWE moves to trick his UFC opponent by knockin’ him for real after.

Dana White, the UFC president, was very impressed with how Lensar looked last night. The UFC officials are already predicting the UFC Heavyweight champ could be around Lesnar’s body very quickly.

Sounds like Lesnar’s been doing good in WWE so far. Even though he hasn’t won that many matches so far, he is still a powerhouse.

I tried to buy last night’s UFC ppv so I can watch it myself last night but something was wrong with my PPV cable, the “Buy” option on the screen wouldn’t come up so I’m sure the cable company will get it back to working again soon. Since my ppv isn’t working, I just watch the Olympics instead.

I am starting to like UFC more though so I’m getting into it.

Report: Famous author, Jay McInerney, talks trash at John Edwards…

One of Rielle Hunter’s ex boyfriends who is a famous writer and the author of best selling novel, “Bright Lights, Big City”, Jay McInerney, has some harsh words to say about John Edwards who was cheating on his cancer battling wife with Rielle.

Jay says John is trying to distance away from Elizabeth, and said it was only a half assed confession.

I agree it was only a half assed confession.

I’m sick of politicians cheating on their wives and their wives forgiving him to continue to stay with him.

Why do wives continue to stay with politicians even if they are a cheating douchebag? Mostly it’s because the wife of a politician, they know they are married to a famous person, that’s why they stick with them, because of the fame. It’s an ego thing. A politician can cheat all they want and not get divorced.

That is why Hillary is still with Bill and why Elliot Spitzer is still with his wife.

Thought: When bands gear get stolen…

When a famous band like Iggy and the Stooges or an unsigned band go on a long world tour and they get their gear stolen, the bands will immediately go online to ask information on where the gear is. Hoping to get the gear back after using the online world, thinking the online world will help a band get the gear back.

When bands do this, I usually just sit back and laugh. Do they really think the internet will be any of help? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Come on people! Quit being so delusional!

When thieves steal all of the bands gear from their band vehicles, they’ll have to get over the fact, that the gear will be gone for good. The bands are never going to get the gear back. What do you think the thieves are musicians and they stole the instruments and equipment for their own use? NO!

I’m sure they already soled them to music instruments stores for money, what else do thieves steal them for? It’s either more money for their own use or drug money. They trade the instruments in for drugs probably. I read reports that Iggy’s gear truck was found, but in the truck was completely empty, not one piece of his gear was inside of it.

Does a band honestly think they are going to get all that gear back? Plllleease. That’s a LOT of fuckin’ gear there!! I don’t think the thieves will ever be hunt down because they are good at these things without being caught. No one’s ever going to find out who the thieves are, it’s going to be tough to find out.

Do you honestly think the thieves will come out and give the gear back to the band after several online posts? LOL! Sure, I’d be upset and pissed off too if my gear and instruments got stolen at a gig, but I don’t think I’ll call the police to try and get it back because that stuff can be easily replaceable.

Who cares about the gear. There are better things in life to worry about. Iggy and the Stooges are rich people, they can easily replace the gear in no time. The thieves only steal things when the owner of the valuables are not around, so you’re never going to find out who they are. Sorry but that’s the truth you’ll have to learn.

I predict the Stooges will never find out who the thieves are and where their gear went. The only way to find out who the thieves are, if the thieves gives up, comes forward and turn themselves in. That is pretty unlikely that’ll happen.

Reminder: San Diego Vacation Aug. 21-27…

Yep, I’ll be heading out to San Diego, California where my brother and his girlfriend is currently living there. This San Diego vacation is pretty much my own decision to head out there because I’m bored of New York and need to get out of here for a week. Be away from the non-stop rain and thunderstorms we’ve been having here lately, and be away from my boring day job to go out and have lots of fun for myself. It’ll be all sunny and warm all the time in San Diego. During my vacation in Aug. 21-27th, I will not be posting in my blog around that time at all. My brother will probably have a computer at his house, but I need a break from the computer so I won’t be using it at all around this time.

But I will be back on the blog when I come home from vacation to tell you all about it, full report and I’ll post a bunch of pics of course.

I just learned that Balboa Park in San Diego is not far at all from the apartment where my brother is living. So all of us will be able to get to Balboa Park with no problems at all! Balboa Park in San Diego has so many musuems there.

Other than going to the San Diego Zoo and the Air & Space Musuem, I also would like to check out the “The National History Museum”, and “The Model Railroad Musuem”.

We might even be going to see the Dave Matthews Band in concert on Aug. 22nd somewhere in California ’cause my brother and his girlfriend plan on going. It’s going be a crazy vacation. Lots of things to do in San Diego, you’re never going to be bored in that city.

This is my first big trip on a plane and getting excited and stoked. I want to make it a great vacation the week that I’m there and no, I won’t spend all my extra spending money in San Diego in one place so I’ll make sure I won’t be broke when I come back home.

I won’t be going on this trip alone, it will be a family and friends thing. My father is staying home and my sister is coming to the trip a few days later.

We’re just going to visit the San Diego Zoo, see some musuems, go to the beaches, maybe go see DMB in concert, eat at some unique restaurants, do some shopping in downtown San Diego, etc. I can’t wait, this vacation is gonna be a blast and I’m predicting it will be the best vacation in my life.

I don’t think crime is that bad in San Diego so I don’t think I’ll worry about getting mugged or robbed in the streets. It all depends on where you go to in that city, you just gotta stay away from the places where the gangs hang out and never talk to a stranger.
