I really didn't want to say alot about the games from last Sunday, as well as the Monday Night Football game in Seattle, where the Seahawks won against the Green Bay Packers in a controversial Hail Mary catch at the end zone in the final second. The same situation happened in Super Bowl XLVI earlier this year, but the only difference was that it the Hail Mary catch between the Patriots defense and the Giants offense was as legit as the Monday night game. Hell, that game got so much attention, that it turned Las Vegas 180 degrees upside down, by having all the bookies in Vegas receiving $300 million which gave the betters a serious "bad case of the Mondays". Talking about poetic justice, I read this morning after I woke up that one casino offered to refund those who place a bet for Green Bay to win against Seattle right after the craziness that happened at the game thanks to the Foot Locker Employees.... I mean, the replacement referees.
I spent most of Tuesday on Twitter (@justforsneaks) re-tweeting a grip of funny-ass comments from people talking about that ending and making jokes and comparison between the National Football League and the XFL, as well as Commissioner Roger Goodell's phone number being leaked from a fake-ass Clay Matthews Facebook page (that number was real). I also listened to ESPN radio right after the game and during my sleep hearing the broadcasters losing their minds, not just from the Monday Night Game but from the other shit from Week 3, from 3 bizzare overtime games that included the Titans 44-41 victory over the Detroit Lions, to the Sunday Night Football game where the Patriots lost to the Ravens that made Bill Belichick lose 50 G's in fines for just getting a foreign rookie substitute teacher's.... I mean, the replacement ref's attention by touching him. But that Monday night game though, I think its gonna die out as soon as Week 4 gets underway but it will be talked about again once it gets brought up in the future.
Other than that, weekend was super low key. Was supposed to go to a birthday party and an Emmy's after party but I wasn't in the mood of dealing with champagne-steaming drunks. I took my old high school classmate to go witness sisters Nancy and Ann Wilson of Heart get their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday. Haven't been to a star unveiling ceremony since Scarlett Johansson's ceremony back in May, and out of 10 ceremonies I've been to for the past six years, this is the first one that I didn't bring my camera to take photos of the event. Instead, I brought my copy of their 1987 Bad Animals LP that I bought from Amoeba Records a few years ago, but the only thing that sucks is that the vinyl keeps skipping and looping improperly whenever I play it, and its one of my favorite Heart albums since I was bred with their music when I was a kid (the parents always played "Never" "Alone" and "These Dreams" in the car back in the day). We got there at around 7:30 in the morning since I knew that there were going to be several women in their 50's that were going to skip work (or those that aren't working or retried) to not miss this, in which more did show up later, so it was a regular decent crowd. Damn, Nancy Wilson looked freakin' FANTASTIC at her age, and her sister Ann seems chill as fuck just from hearing her voice over the speakers as she was giving her acceptance speech.
At the end of the event after being interviews by at least 35 different media groups, the Wilson sisters signed everyone's Heart LP's (I was the first one they signed) and their new book that they just came out recently. My friend is going to their book signing tomorrow at the Barnes and Noble at The Grove tomorrow and I'm not. Not because I didn't plan on going since I just saw them in person, but I have to go to freakin' San Diego tomorrow to go watch the Dodgers take on the San Diego Padres at Petco Park with the moms. This will be the fourth Baseball park that I'll be visiting (I've been to Dodger Staduim of course, Angel Stadium when it was known as Edison International Field back in the late 90's, and Citizen's Bank Arena during my pops business trip ti Philadelphia back in 2006) and the first Dodgers away game that I'll be attending. I wanted to drive down there but she insisted that I take the Greyhound bus there. Never been on one of those, but it never hurts to accept a challenge.
Anyway, thanks for taking your time reading this and I swear, Facebook is making birthdays more boring and uninteresting nowadays. No offense but I can't imagine anyone with over 1,200 friends which make it have like at least 9 birthday notifications a day or some shit like that. Just wanted to bring that up, and if it you're tired of the constant birthday notifications, you can always deactivate your account and move up to Seattle to watch a rainstorm while drinking Black Coffee and hearing a Nirvana cover band performing acoustically at the OG Starbucks to get you mind elsewhere.
Oh and here's my Bad Animals album that Ann and Nancy Wilson signed, taken from a piece of shit outdated iSight camera from the iMac at my place in Sylmar. They're also from Seattle, if that matters.
