the scene: alan tells blake that he's upset cuz blake's dog is crapping all over the place
blake's response ... direct quote ... verbatim:

"and like i wasn't even aware of the fact i just thought he could've like i didn't even know and again it wasn't if i hadn't have been so i probably would've been up and in better control of things and that wasn't my you know it's not like i wanted you to i mean of course you know?"

this is a quote from the genius broadcaster known as tim mccarver during tonight's mlb all star game.

"The Oakland Athletics were interested in Miguel Tejada as a 14 year old, but he was so frail they had to feed him for 2 years. They fed him, signed him and he's strong enough right now."

#1 - what?
#2 - it's worth mentioning that he currently plays for the baltimore orioles
#3 - what?

The above image is a skateboarding ramp built around the great wall of china. a guy named danny way started at the upper right, dropped down 130 feet and then jumped a 75-foot gap over the wall of china.

one.org

with full awareness that i might totally de-rail the tone of this blog, i went to one.org and signed my name today. i highly recommend you do the same. hopefully enough people will sign which will lead to the 8 most wealthy nations in the world eradicating mass poverty in africa, something they could easily do if they feel compelled to do so.
