ESPN must think this years NFL draft is going to be big ratings. I think they usually burry this the start sometime in the morning here. Now it’s starting tomorrow at 3PM.  Maybe Mel Kiper Jr. gave ESPN some hardcore stats on how people will watch it later in the day.   Well Mel Kiper Jr. is the only guy that I will listen to talk about “ball skills” and “ball control.”  Any other guy talking about those subjects is just strange. Hopefully Kiper’s prediction will go up this year. So far it doesn’t look good with the Dolphins taking Jake Long.

I had no idea Johnny Depp was going to be filming at the Paramont this morning. I guess there were a few hundred excited people to take my place. At least he’s making a movie where he doesn’t sing. Maybe the next they film 10 minutes away from me, I’ll pay attention.

There’s always hope for a Wayne’s World 3 and maybe they might actually film in Aurora.

Tribune Co. uses uses its “me too” spirit and decided to do a little April Fools joke. These things can sometimes be funny but I haven’t seen a funny one in a while. I’m predicting the “multi media” experts at Tribune spent months having meetings about meetings to get the little gag online. I can’t wait for them to have another spoof next year about massive layoffs. Sam Zell is such a rebel. I think it’s easy to be a so called rebel if you have a bazillion dollars. Tribune Company is just Sam Zells personal SimFailingCompany that he gets to play with for a bit.

Spike was 25 pounds around this time last year and the vet made it sound like I was giving him Crack. Spike is now down to 18 pounds this year but he’s still isn’t at his goal wait of 15.  Time to find a new vet and avoid being yelled at by the vet.

It seems like all I have been doing lately is working out and working. Since I don’t talk about my current job here, I’ll speak more about more Annoying things at the gym. I thought I couldn’t fill up another post about this subject since my last one but I was wrong. It happens.

The first thing is with all the guys that must bring in these huge bags and carry them to each piece of equipment and bench. It’s like the workout warrior wubby or something. I’ve tried to uncover what the hell these guys are carrying around in these bags. It’s not towels because these assholes manage to cover each piece of equipment in sweat before they and their bag move on to the next thing. I just can’t figure it out and I don’t plan out carrying one of these workout purses around anytime soon.

Another thing I’m discovering is that some fuckers have to fill up their gallon jugs at the one small water fountain at the gym. I understand the need to hydrate but damn, having a line of 7-8 people wait while you fill up your milk jug of water is silly.

The gym I go to seems to be getting very territorial. Everyone in some way or form seems to guard equipment of benches. Somebody will lay out a big smelly and sweaty towel on a chair, while other guys will put their multiple water jugs or big gym bags on the equipment. I’m sure there is a very scientific reason to spend an hour at a squat rack to do 3 sets of squats but I missed that day in Scientific gym facts. I’m tempted to get into the gym territorial stuff and kick it up a notch. I could start pissing on the equipment to save it while I go take a nap.

The last thing is chalk. Who the hell needs chalk to do a squat or shrug? Some days the amount of chalk in the gym makes it look like somebody just got done doing Olympic gymnastics stuff. Then no matter how you try and clean the equipment that has the chalk, you still end up getting chalk all over you. The worst part is, it’s not even your damn chalk.

Now of course after this post, I don’t feel like working out at all.
