LINKS GALORE!

I was hangin' 10 on the interweb this morning, brah, when I saw some things that made me think others might like to see them as well.

Then I closed the porn links and started looking for stuff that wasn't quite as "revealing."

Check it out, Agent Utah.

*** Who remembers Latrell Spreewell, infamous NBA choke artist, turning down a huge contract extension because he "had a family to feed" only to find himself sitting on the sidelines ever since because no one wanted to pay him what he wanted? Yeah, well... judging from this link, I'm guessing he wishes he had the money.

*** Who remembers Tony Gwynn Jr. essentially knocking his father's former club out of the postseason last year? Oh, I remember it all too well as my friend [and Padre fan] was far too happy to mock us poor Dodger fans as we pulled up to his apartment for my bachelor party, leaning off the balcony to yell "If you guys hurry, you can hear the Padres clinch the NL West." Oh, we heard something alright! We heard him whimpering like a small child when the man affectionately known as "Little T" crushed the Padres spirit [and apparently Trevor Hoffman's balls.] For all the glorious details, check it out, mang.

*** If paging through all my crazed rants isn't enough to kill your day at work, I present the next best thing. Yahoo! Bix. I used to manage to waste HOURS on this subsection of Yahoo which is presented as a series of polls such as "Which dog is the cutest?" with accompanying pictures. Since this is the Interweb, you are also treated to about a zillion "WHO IZ THA HODDEST CHIK ON THA PLANIT!?!" polls which are at least good for eyecandy. Enjoy!

*** On a quest to fulfill a challenge laid out for February's Mixtape Of The Month, I visited several music/mp3 blogs over the weekend. MP3 blogs are a hell of a drug as Rick James would say because you end up downloading a bunch of crap you don't need and ultimately probably don't want but who can say no to David Byrne covering Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" or Willie Nelson [or a faux-Willie Nelson] layin' it down on Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time?" I'll add two specific blogs to my links section later but for now, Google "MP3 blogs" and prepare to lose all sense of sanity.

*** While Bonnaroo has managed to piece together perhaps the greatest festival lineup since the second Woodstock, us poor bastards who can't afford to fly out there are stuck with making the best out of what we get. To some people in SoCal, that'd be Coachella. But fuck Coachella, ya gahdamn ravers! I refuse to wade through that many people on Ecstacy just to see Jenny Lewis. REFUSE, I SAY! So, the next best thing at the moment? Eddie Vedder solo tour!
