NFL Draft Weekend
we continued the annual gatlinburg NFL draft weekend... and again, couldn't find more people to come. it's kinda mind boggling that we have such a hard time getting friends to go on a mountain escape to a place that has one of the best views i've ever witnessed, big screen tv, HOT TUB, foosball table and pool table. it's the most relaxing place i've ever been... and boy do we get shithammered. we had a blast regardless and i'm just stoked that we've been able to continue doing the trip year after year. we bought so much liquor this time i wasn't really sure if we could actually drink it all... welp, we did. i think i may have played a large role in that. i feel good though and never really had a hangover. nice! thanks to chelsea for bringing us all again. yer the best around. on to the draft!! which means, on to my giants!! the main thing i thought the giants needed was a safety (they picked one up before the draft so i wasn't sure if they were still going to address this need) a linebacker (lost mitchell and torbor) and i was thinking a receiver (they have 2 proven badass and they're getting old). let's take a peak at who they got... well, who i remember them getting. 1st pick: kenny phillips.. safety from the U!! gotta love the canes. i didn't really get to see much of phillips this year. i thought he would have gone pro last year actually.. he was a BADASS his junior year. i was surprised at first with this pick cause well, i thought they had already replaced wilson, and i really wanted to groves. i'm stoked with the pick though. phillips can come in and play now. he's a big guy that hit HARD so he's going to help the linebackers out a bit IMO. i had thought it would be jenkins or connor here. 2nd pick: terrell thomas... cornerback from USC.. .this kinda surprised me. thought they'd for sure take a linebacker. i only know a little bit about thomas, and only because i went and looked up all the corners projected to go kinda early in the draft. from what i've read thomas sounds like a sure thing at the position... and he couldn't come from a better program (aside from bama). looking forward to seeing the giants backfield... with webster, ross, phillips and thomas... wow! 3rd pick: mario manningham...wide receiver from michigan. STILL NO LINEBACKER!! can't believe they didn't take a linebacker here. i know the giants drafting philosophy is to take the highest people on the boards as opposed to reaching for position needs.. i have to think they take him here because he was a steal at this late of a pick. i don't follow michigan all that closely and even i know how badass this guy is (wish he was bigger though). he's the deep threat the giants need and can hopefully can perform as well as other michigan player amani toomer. i like the pick. 4th pick: kehl, linebacker from BYU... don't know squat bout the guy. 5th pick: jonathan goff, linebacker from vandy.. NOW WE'RE FUCKING TALKING! some SEC defensive talent. i'm stoked with this pick, having seen goff play first hand. ALL SEC and ALL ACADEMIC PLAYER. i think the giants just really need intelligent linebackers for their system. so their picks make sense. 6th pick: andre woodson, qb from kentucky. I tell ya, the giants LOVE their SEC quarterbacks. last year they had eli (ole miss), lorenzen (ky) and wright (south carolina). i believe the dropped lorenzen and picked up carr... now they have woodson who i think was a MAJOR steal this late in the draft. he's going to have time to develop as long as eli stays healthy, and even then, i'm sure carr is next up. i expect big things from woodson in the future. smart and athletic. after the draft the giants signed WALLACE GILBERRY!!! fuck yeaH! | | Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 | | 11:10 am |

it's the OGG.. it haunts me!!!
as many of you may know (especially those that have played poker with me), i'm quite partial to the #53. i've said numerous times it follows me around, like in the movie (the number 23).. but way cooler. well, angie just told me i owe $53 to state. WTF! i don't kerr though cause it's my main nickel's birfday!!!! well, it was yesterday, but somehow i di-in't know shit about it so fuck it. HAPPY BIRFDAY RUSS! looking forward to this weekend. speaking of this weekend....it's also A-DAY WEEKEND... hoping we can get bryant-denny 92,000 strong again. our plan had been to go to tuscaloosa friday night and raise hell with the funk. since we're celebrating russ's life on saturday night, we decided we're gonna have to just stay in friday night. no way i could go to tuscaloosa and stay up til the usual 4-5am, be on the quad by 10, out in the sun all day, drive to bham and party with any enthusiasm. so, we're gonna take it easy friday night, get up early saturday and meet the krothe's on the quad, grill out, toss some football'n frisbee, drink and be merry.. .watch alabama kickass, then drive back to bham, drink some sparks and get funky. if that sounds like a plan to you, let us know if you want to join the crimson caravan. the crimson caravan is slated to leave no earlier than 9am... maybe earlier... but no later. we gon get biscuits!! details will posted later in the eeeroll tide community. | | Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 | | 9:17 am |
my luck is changing!!
well, i'm not sure i can really use kansas's win last night to say all my teams are on their way to the top. when the giants won i really felt like my luck was changing. after last night, i started thinking... well, shit, bama should be next! but i'm not sure kansas is really on the same level. i mean, alabama is my main team.. and UAB... hell, watching UAB and Alabama play in a championship would be just like when i watched miami and alabama play in the sugar bowl. i have more history with UAB basketball than bama... point is, that's 2 teams i like ahead of kansas.... kansas is still one of the main teams i pull for in college basketball though... and they fucking won. now i just can't help but wonder if the tide is next. granted, i follow bama football like a hawk and there should be absolutely zero chance that they win anything this year... but hell, if the giants can do it... the tide can do it! | | Thursday, March 27th, 2008 | | 4:28 pm |

shamrockfest/bonfire
so, shamrockfest couldn't have gone ANY worse. and that's not just the typical brad i played crappy comment. the equipment we were forced to use was god awful.. and the sound was shiiiii-tay... the guys running sound seemed kinda clueless and by kinda i mean REALLY FUCKING CLUELESS. kinda like the crowd looked when we were playing our songs. we got free barbeque and shittons of vitamin water so that was cool. the weather was perfect and the turnout was good... so it wasn't ALL bad i guess. after the show a few us headed to my parents place to enjoy a mountainside bonfire. we kinda waited til the last minute to get everything planned cause we had heard all week that the weather would be bad. welp, that was some bullshit. it ended up being a chilled out, relaxing kinda night. the air was crisp and the stars were out... only bummer is finding out that even when you try and do something nice for some friends you find out you still did something wrong. i REALLY wish i could invite more people out there because i think people would enjoy it.... but it's just not accomodating to large groups. not to mention i get really scared that i'll mess up some of my parent's shit. i told my mom there would only be 5 of us...and was a little bit nervous when it ended up being 10. it was all good though. erbody helped me clean up so thanks erbody! can't wait to go back again! and oh yeah, big ups to nutty the fire king... he did a hell of a job keeping us all toasty.... the whiskey helped a bit too. Current Mood:  confused | | Thursday, March 6th, 2008 | | 10:26 am |
my latest music addiction... http://www.myspace.com/graveyardsongsthis band is so kickass! their singer kinda does an exaggerated version of the way i prefer vocals to be. i really like when vocals dip instead of peaking at the end of lines. well this guy does a dip after like every 4 words. get into it. Current Music: graveyard... were you paying attention | | Monday, February 25th, 2008 | | 1:26 pm |
Zbigniew Brzezinski not long ago revealed that on July 3, 1979, unknown to the American public and Congress, President Jimmy Carter secretly authorized $500 million to create an international terrorist movement that would spread Islamic fundamentalism in Central Asia and "de-stabilise" the Soviet Union... The CIA called this Operation Cyclone and in the following years poured $4 billion into setting up Islamic training schools in Pakistan (Taliban means "student"). Young zealots were sent to the CIA's spy training camp in Virginia, where future members of al-Qaeda were taught "sabotage skills" - terrorism. Others were recruited at an Islamic school in Brooklyn, New York, within sight of the fated Twin Towers. In Pakistan, they were directed by British MI6 officers and trained by the SAS. The result, quipped Brzezinski, was "a few stirred up Muslims" - meaning the Taliban. The Wall Street Journal declared: "The Taliban are the players most capable of achieving peace. Moreover, they were crucial to secure the country as a prime trans-shipment route for the export of Central Asia's vast oil, gas and other natural resources." No American newspaper dares suggest that the prisoners in Camp X-Ray are the product of this policy, nor that it was one of the factors that led to the attacks of September 11. Nor do they ask: who were the real winners of September 11? The day the Wall Street stock market opened after the destruction of the Twin Towers, the few companies showing increased value were the giant military contractors Alliant Tech Systems, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon (a contributor to New Labor) and Lockheed Martin. As the US military's biggest supplier, Lockheed Martin's share value rose by a staggering 30 per cent. Within six weeks of September 11, the company (with its main plant in Texas, George Bush's home state) had secured the biggest military order in history: a $200 billion contract to develop a new fighter aircraft. The greatest taboo of all, which Orwell would surely recognize, is the record of the United States as a terrorist state and haven for terrorists. This truth is virtually unknown by the American public and makes a mockery of Bush's (and Blair's) statements about "tracking down terrorists wherever they are." They don't have to look far. Florida, currently governed by the President's brother, Jeb Bush, has given refuge to terrorists who, like the September 11 gang, have hi-jacked aircraft and boats with guns and knives. Most have never had criminal charges brought against them. Why? All of them are anti-Castro Cubans. Former Guatemalan Defence Minister Gramajo Morales, who was accused of "devising and directing an indiscriminate campaign of terror against civilians", including the torture of an American nun and the massacre of eight people from one family, studied at Harvard University on a US government scholarship. During the 1980s, thousands of people were murdered by death squads connected to the army of El Salvador, whose former chief now lives comfortably in Florida. The former Haitian dictator, General Prosper Avril, liked to display the bloodied victims of his torture on television. When he was overthrown, he was flown to Florida by the US government, and granted political asylum. A leading member of the Chilean military during the reign of General Pinochet, whose special responsibility was executions and torture, lives in Miami. THE Iranian general who ran Iran's notorious prisons, is a wealthy exile in the US. One of Pol Pot's senior henchmen, who enticed Cambodian exiles back to their certain death, lives in Mount Vernon, New York. What all these people have in common, apart from their history of terrorism, is that they either worked directly for the US government or carried out the dirty work of US policies. The al-Qaeda training camps are kindergartens compared with the world's leading university of terrorism at Fort Benning in Georgia. Known until recently as the School of the Americas, its graduates include almost half the cabinet ministers of the genocidal regimes in Guatemala, two thirds of the El Salvadoran army officers who committed, according to the United Nations, the worst atrocities of that country's civil war, and the head of Pinochet's secret police, who ran Chile's concentration camps. There is terrible irony at work here. The humane response of people all over the world to the terrorism of September 11 has long been hijacked by those running a rapacious great power with a history of terrorism second to none. Global supremacy, not the defeat of terrorism, is the goal; only the politically blind believe otherwise. |
