The Prez

This puts a smile on my face everytime.

On the Eve..

On the eve of my final class at Vanguard University, I am a bit numb to the idea that a major chapter of my life is coming to a close. Devoting the past 2 years to this program has taught me a lot about myself. A part of me is relieved that I will be finished, but a growing part of my being is wanting to return to those first days in 2007. I am in a weird place in my life and I don't know what to do next. I want to return to something simpler.

Sometimes I feel like I am Charlie Brown. A person who is often led by his innocence and naivety, I often find myself disappointed at the end of day. Life can be cruel. It is full of letdowns. I feel beat down constantly. My back is on the ground looking up into the sky. I want to finally kick the football.

Laughing Out Loud

I just discovered that Vitamin Water has the best commercials.

today

I am exhausted.

I'm not even excited to finish school on tuesday. Wierd.

There's Only One October

Anyone who has watched baseball during the last month has seen those Dane Cook promos. I liked this one the best...

Sonic Burger

On the west coast, we do not have many Sonic Burgers. During the MLB playoffs they have been advertising heavily on TBS. From what I know, Sonic burger joints are popular throughout the southern part of the country. One of the trademarks of Sonic establishments is their "drive-in" motiff. People are served and eat in their cars. This raises a few observations:
1. Why would anyone want to eat in their car in the hot south? You can still turn the AC on but you still waste gas..
2. I can't stand eating in my car, its something I do only if I absolutely need to.
3. People in Southern California spend too much time in their cars to be begin with. That is why I believe this concept will not work out here.
4. Their commercials are lame. (I am watching one right now...on TBS)
5. Losing french fries in between seasts and having a greasy steering wheel is NOT fun.

Angels Message Board

The last 24 hours, I have been monitoring the Angels official team message board. Most of the posts agree with me in that we need to clean out the front office. I came across this great post by a fan. I thought it was hiliarious.

Hot Stove notes!

Angels
Free agents likely to pursue:

SS - David Eckstein (Cardinals)
1B/OF - Darrin Erstad (White Sox)
C- Jose Molina (Yankees)
OF - Jose Guillen (Mariners)
P - Paul Byrd (Indians)

A source close to club who did not want to be named said that the Angels were interested in obtaining pitcher Jarrod Washburn (Mariners)and St. Louis super sub Scott Spezio along with Cardinal teammate Troy Percival.

In other news Tim Salmon is working out again in hopes of getting a non roster invite from Bill. Also, Troy Glaus may have his contract terminated by Toronto and if the rumors of HGH are true then he could fill a power void at 3B for the Halos

Minor League News:

Stoneman has brought in Alex Ochoa from Japan and Bengie Gill from the Mexican League to provide organizational depth. They will play in Salt Lake City.
