This is my blog.

This is your hourly Favre Update...

My good friend Chris Payne was right-I have a lot to blog.  Soon, I will catch up.  In the meantine, I am watching Joe Mauer become the MLB hit leader tonight after he offically gets the # of at-bats needed.  Go Twins-I guess there were over 200 people waiting at the Hotel (not where I work) last night when the NY Yankees arrived.

A quick story about the NY Yankees.  Last year Beth and I were having dinner downtown and there were only about 10 people in the place (Sunday night).  Derek Jeter and his friend were having dinner.  Some children came over and asked for autogrpahs and Jeter was a TOTAL classy guy-not only did he sign for them, he even took pictures with these young boys-awesome. Later that week, I was at the Grand Hotel and Jonny Damon signed for EVERYONE who was waiting-about 40-50 people. He was just so classy.

Anyways on to my "hourly" Bret Favre update. There was #4 Vikings jerseys being woren at the Twins game this weekend, I guess. So cool.  I can't wait.  Where will Favre live?  Many people are saying Edina or Eden Prairie-how about Lakeville? There are a few homes in my neighborhood that are bank owned and I am sure would like be sold.  Either way these next few weeks, from now till Training Camp begins are sure to be crazy...I read today that tickets on Stubhub for the games in Green Bay are going for $300 just to sit way up top.  Amazing.  I think it's so funny and a little silly how the media is trying to figure out where he's going to live and following nealy every move the guy makes.  Just watch out for the Vikings...make your reservations for Miami for the Super Bowl!!!!!!!

Thank you, Norm...

Thank you to Norm Colemen for NOT pursing this 2008 election results any further.  I don't know who really won the election.  I do know that no matter what the other side was going to cry fool and say that this process wasn't fair, votes were stolen, etc.  I of all people don't know what really happened or who really won. I just know that it's over and it's about time. Minnesota deserves to have TWO Senators-not we have them.

Most of all, Thank you Norm Colemen for serving this great state and most of all, thank you for bringing back Hockey to the GREAT State of Minnesota!!!!! Go WILD!!!!!!!!

Wolves Draft

Well, the NBA Draft sort of got lost with all the news on MJ passing away.  (Side Note:  How long do you think the major news will cover the death of Michael Jackson?)  I have a M. Jackson blog coming.  Back to sports.

The Wolves did okay on the draft.  In short, as the 1980's band Nelson said, "Only time will tell."  Only time will tell wheather D. Kahn is a very smart man or Kevin McHale part II.  I do find the most interesting part of the draft night is if Rubio will ever actually come to Minnesota or if he will be in Spain two or three years from now?

I have so much to blog about in the next week or so.  Ron Paul is picking up steam again in the major media, Michael Jackson and News Coverage, Bret Favre, being married for three years now, three wedding rings and one wife, guns and the Assemblies of God, Michele Bachmann and oh so much more.

Keep following my blog...

Draft Night Coverage

Wow, Blake Griffin goes #1...wow!!!! Who will go #2????

UPDATE:  I do hope the Wolves trade one of their early picks (5 or 6)-While I wasn't in love with Rany Foye, I hope we get something BIG for him...

6:45pm-What if Rubio falls to #5!!!! How awesome would that be???!!!

6:58pm-I think we take Rubio and maybe Hill???

7:11pm-Wolves will trade one of these guards....

8:52pm-I have no idea what the Wolves are doing with all of these GUARDS. However, I am certain they will trade #18. I am hearing to Denver.  Is C. Anthony coming to Minnesota? :)  Well, I will write more when the draft is complete and when we see if there will be another midnight trade like last year. So far, I have really, really mixed feelings. I even thought I saw Kevin McHale in the draft room tonight.

The Timberwolves Trade

The Timberwolves made a blockbuster trade with Washington sending Randy Foye and Mike Miller to Washington for their 5th overall pick in tomorrow's NBA draft.  Now the Wolves have 4 first round draft picks.  What will they do with all of these picks?  Will they trade up and try to pick #2 or #3 overall?  The NBA Draft is one of the best events of the year.  I cannot wait.

Jon and Kate...

A few weeks ago when the new season of Jon & Kate Plus 8 aired on TLC it had very high ratings (nearly 10 million people watched the show), and there were thousands of comments on how much it appeared the couple has changed.  In recent weeks, the media, especially E! News and Entertainment Tonight, has basically lived at the Gosselin house.  I've been checking out at Target too and seen the "headlines" on the front cover of magazines.  I've mostly ignored all of the coverage and really tried not to make judgments or even form an opinion because no one really knows what is going on.

However, after tonight's show we know at least this much. The Gosselins have decided their marriage should not continue.  I find this really sad for many reasons.  While I might be the only guy to admit to watching this show, it's been fun for me for many reasons.  First, he's Korean and Kate is not.  Just like Beth and I.  We don't have twins or 8 kids, but it's been fun.  Also at least until they moved they were attending an Assemblies of God church and talked about their faith a lot on the show.  A few months ago, when they were speaking at Willow Creek, Beth and I even talked about going to hear them speak.  It's just been a fun show to watch.

However, Beth and I, like most wondered what this show or their new "fame" would do to the health of their family.  Only Jon and Kate really knows what happened and where "things went wrong."  I do pray for them and pray they both make it through this and come through as better people and that their 8 children aren't too affected by this event.

I also hope (which won't happen) the media decides to leave this family alone.  Every time I hear about Jon and Kate, I ask myself, "how did this couple become like this?  And who would have thought, when this show began on TLC a few years ago, that it would become like this?"

What are your thoughts? Leave your comments here...and let's keep praying for Jon and Kate and 8 little kids...

A Reason for Big Government

H.R.6209 - Finally a reason for government to get involved in our personal lives.  I've always been VERY opposed to the government being involved in our lives (that's a WHOLE OTHER blog), hence all of my Ron Paul blogs.

However, I am for H.R. 6209. Especially after watching TV tonight.  Why are commercials SO much LOUDER than normal TV?

Read about this law here and get Congress to act on it now!!!!!

Is it true? Favre a Viking? Get your #4 jersey now!!!!!

UPDATE:  Favre Jersey's for the VIKINGS Are selling on eBay for $150 each.  Amazing. Simply Amazing.
