Brady...Your secret is out

Why God is a Wolverine's fan...or not
Mood: Now Playing: Jeff Tweedy - If you see her, say hello (dylan cover) So watching today's college football events unfold today, I began wondering if something else was in control, some higher power possibly. My Wolverines, who were ranked 9th coming into today, needed some help to get into a BCS bowl. For those of you that don't know what the BCS is, it is an evil spawn of moronic NCAA officials that were too stupid to put in a fucking playoff system. The BCS ruins college football and so do the polls. But enough about my ranting and back to me explaining why god prefers wolverine fans. SO anyways, Big Blue needed help. Being 8-1 (6-0 in conference) they were ranked 9th in the BCS. Several other 1 loss teams were ranked ahead of them as well as undefeated divisio rival Wisconson. Fucking Badgers. The retarded cousin of the wolverine. Anyways. So Georgia (7-1) lost, West Virginia (8-2) lost, Michigan won handily (review later) against Northwestern, and Michigan State thumped Wisconsin. I'm talking taking them out back, tying them to a tree and beating them with a cat like Monty Python thumping. And that is bad. Trust me, cat thumpings are brutal. So all the pieces are falling into place for Michigan to go to their Holy Grail: The Rose Bowl. And I kept thinking, is this luck? Or does some higher power have a say in this? I thought about it for a minute or so and concluded that god himself favors the Wolverines. Of course, by saying this, I guarantee a Michigan loss solely because this is so blaspehmus but I'm going to say it anyways. Hail to the Victors! So yeah, on to the game review. Michigan's stud freshman Mike Hart had 150 rushing yards and 3 td's in UM's 42-20 win. Good times. Braylon Edwards became the 1st, yes FIRST reciever in Big Ten HISTORY to have 3 consecutive 1,000 yard receiving seasons. Congrats to Braylon.
Where have you gone Shawn Kemp?
Mood: Now Playing: Super Sonics - The Presidents of the United States of America So I have been watching NBA basketball recently (yes, I know I'm one of the few) and I have been surprised by how well the Sonics have been playing. Sure they don't have a big man and sure their fans are about as fair weathered as any in the world but these guys are fun to watch. Me personally, I hate watching basketball where they walk it up the court, throw it into the center and play an isolation game or a two man game. ITS FRIGGIN BORING! The Sonics have a bunch of athletic guys that can run, shoot and pass. They are all unselfish (which is why I will always hate Kobe Bryant being the selfish piece of crap he is) and look to help teammates out. They have spanked some of the best teams in the league: the spurs, the kings, and the suns. And they beat Toronto which is doing really well right now. But watching the Sonics, I long for the days of the Reignman, the Manchild, the Father of America: Shawn Kemp. I know he is a big tub o' lard now, but back in the day he was just like Garnett is now. Minus the cool chin fuzz and bald head. I say we bring back Kemp. Just to sit on the bench and provide an example to young players of what happens when you don't keep your junk in your pants. And because I want to relive my childhood damnit. DO AS I SAY SONICS MANAGEMENT! DO AS I SAY! Does anyone remember how great this guy was before he gained all that weight and gave up on life? The Man Child? This guy was awesome. Bring back Kemp in '04!

Arguably the funniest site on the Web
Mood: Now Playing: the beatles-while my guitar gently weeps So thanks to my friend Brady from back home I have been turned on to this amazing website. I have to say that this is by far the funniest and most unique cartoons I have seen on the web. I tip my cap to this guy, he is extremely clever and an obvious master of useless knowledge. Please go to Elephantitis of the Mind I promise you will not regret it.
And then there was the sizzle
Mood: Now Playing: jet-cold hard bitch So after a cancelled game due to hail and lightning last week, the sizzle returned this week and had possibly the greatest flag football game I have ever seen. If only the game was played to the NFL films music. Then it would have been an instant classic. It was a very evenly matched game, although I have to say that if it were tackle football, we would have gotten the shit kicked out of us. These guys were huge. But with typical sizzle style we used our slacker skillz to even the match. The first half was a defensive struggle. Both teams had long drives end without touchdowns. The G-Unit(our opponent)scored with about 2 minutes left in the first half. Halftime saw the Off Campus Sizzle down 6-0. The Sizzle started the second half with a long Touchdown drive with a scoring pass to Jeff Dawg and an extra point to Kyle McGillen. After another long non-scoring drive by G-Unit, the sizzle had a long drive of their own halted near the end zone. Then the sizzle kicked it into high gear defensively with two consecutive 4 and out series for G-Unit. This was matched by one scoring drive by the Sizzle with a TD pass to Chris Richards. And a missed extra point (I nearly threw an interception). Then, with time running out the Sizzle once again marched down the field and scored on a TD catch by Dave. Extra point by Chris Richards. Then under a 2-minute drill offense G-Unit went down the field and scored, but missed their extra point. Instead of running the time out like pussies, the Sizzle ran their normal offense and won the game 20-12. By far the best game I have been a part of. It was so evenly matched. Great game. Hats off to Jeff Dawg, Wes, Dave and Chris Richards my players of the game. I apologize to Kyle for not getting him the ball enough. I swear I will hit him on two deep passes next game. Or let him be QB. I want to be a reciever or something. Im no Michael Vick. Or Rick Mirer for that matter. No pictures for this post. Sorry, I'm still recovering from that video games post. That took forever.

If life were a video game
Mood: Now Playing: nada surf - popular So outside of work and school, I have been filling up the vast majority of my spare time with video games. I go through a phase where I will play one game for a few weeks and then like some video game hermit crab move on to find a bigger adventure. It all started way back when (cue the wavy picture effect and the dream sequence music) I got my first video game console. I remember that summer. I was 9 years old. Those were simpler days. Anyways, back to the games. So I got a Sega Genesis for my birthday. Now I do NOT want to restart the 16 Bit battles again but I have to say that the Sega Genesis kicked a lot of ass. I played sonic the hedgehog until my eyes became so bloodshot that I had to be forced away from the tv. That is where I got hooked. Fast forward a year and I get a Super Nintendo or SNES for my uberdork techie brothers out there. So now I have to split time between the sega and the nintendo. Quite a dilemma. Nintendo had the advantage for adventure and rpg games while sega clearly had the better sports and action games. So I was ok, I had the very best of both worlds. Then 5th grade comes and like any other uber dork I read about this 64 bit machine. Nintendo markets the crap out of the Nintendo 64 and I become the first one of my group of friends to get one. I actually got one a month before christmas in sixth grade. I think Jeramy was the first one to play me in wave race. Good times. So this is where it all gets messy. Sony entered the market just prior to the release of the 64. Oh and by this time, sega is dying out FAST. The Playstation quickly took hold and dominated with superior game titles and graphics. I stood firm with nintendo playing Bond and the Griffey baseball games. That took me all the way through most of high school. Then I graduated and got some money and bought a PS2 and an XBOX. Both kick ass and I have to say that it reminds me of my Genesis and SNES days. XBOX has superior adventure and rpg games and PS2 is way better for sports games. Madden on XBOX just plain sucks balls. So now that I have set up my extensive background I will now lay out my life as a video game. I would love to go all old school like the SIERRA games and make something like CHRIS QUEST but I will stay a bit more current. The game would be an rpg with sports and action side games. You could choose characters and develop them in real time (like the sims or any other rpg) and every one of their decisions effects how they appear and how people receive them. I would be one of the characters. Each character would have an alter ego. When times get tough, the character morphs into their alter egoes and becomes more powerful, being able to kick maximum ass. Here are a few of the characters in my video game: Caleb Heeringa/Cuddle Monster Caleb would be the one character that everybody likes but isnt really great at anything, kindof like luigi. However, when he morphs into cuddle monster, shit hits the fan and he becomes arguably the most powerful player in the game. The problem is that he can only morph a few times as he doesn't have the stamina to stay up past 10 on weekends.

public service anouncement
Mood: Now Playing: the strokes-reptilia (look at me caleb I'm trendy) So the Lions lost today. And Michigan didn't play yesterday. So kindof a down weekend for me football wise. So instead of continuing my ranting about how stupid the american people are or how i'm going to be moving to canada in the near future, I will begin the first in what will be several installments of what I will call "Getting to know the Michigan Wolverines." I will begin with the glory position: The Quarterback. Many great QB's have played for Michigan. And I will use this post to get rid of any controversy about which school is quarterback U. Screw Miami and BYU or any other pansy ass college that "claims" to be Quarterback U. They are just trying to fool you. Don't be stupid (and I can't stress this enough now that you voted for bush...please don't be stupid). Michigan is the true producer of quality NFL quarterbacks. Everyone of the last 8 Michigan starting QB's has played in the NFL. So without further delay, I give you some of my favorite Michigan QB's. Drew Henson-1998-2000 The so called "golden boy." He was a highly sought after recruit coming out of high school and he chose to stay in state and play for the wolverines. He battled incumbent Tom Brady for playing time for his first few seasons and then in his only season as a starter, totally dominated. The guy has an amazing amount of athletic ability. Sadly he left prior to his senior season to play baseball for the Yankees. Thankfully he came to his senses, left the evil empire and is now playing with the Dallas Cowboys.

I'm still waiting p.diddy...
Mood: Now Playing: Incubus-megalomaniac (this one's for you Dubya) So i've come to my senses after my delirious post earlier. I blame the migraine that has been dogging for 4 days now. Something is really not right with that. Don't those things go away eventually? I have never had a migraine or a bad headache for that matter. Anyways, enough of me being a pussy. I'm serious about p. diddy though. Don't be a wuss puffy, put up or shut up man. I know you are proficient with hand guns anyways. So to back up my claim earlier, I found this website to prove me right. Actually, i'm not serious about this. I like to say things like bush will lead to the downfall of society and he hates puppies but this dude takes it one step further. I thought it was going to be a joke but he is dead serious. I think it is funny. There is always a chance that it could be real. You never know. Boy will I laugh at the stupid people that voted for him when the apocalypse comes, and then I will go to hell. But it will be worth it. Just to say nah nah nah nah nah nah...ha ha ha ha ha ha (a little cartman reference there). So watching the tele last night I kept noticing how divided the country really is. Did anyone notice how the two coasts are completely different than the middle of the country? I have a theory about why people in the middle vote republican. Here it goes. So the south, the former confederacy, the midwest and I will throw in alaska. If anyone knows of jeffrey, then you know alaskans are like that one kid in school that was a little off mentally not slow or anything but what are the words im searching for here...socially inept. Yep thats it. So alaska gets a get out of jail free card for this vote. Back to the red states. I don't want to offend you people but I know why you vote republican. You never get to see water. I'm talking oceans. Fuck Florida and the carolinas. People are so dumb there that they think the gods give them hurricanes if they vote democratic. Thats my theory, not seeing major bodies of water. Utah does not count. I mean honestly, mormons, you are not fooling anyone with your cult. Anyone that is dumb enough to believe the story of the latter day saints is not worthy of being counted. Im so tired of this division in our country. We need another political party or four. Look at england and germany. More parties bring balance. We get more of a choice. And I know deep down that nobody thought bush and kerry were the best out there. Um...McCain...hello? That guy would get my vote any day. So anyways, I'm officially succeding from the union and from a breakaway republic called kerplakistan. Matt called dibs on petoria so I had to think about this one. In Mighty Kerplakistan people are free to do and say what they want. Stupid people are banned. No stupid people of any kind. None. Our national animal will be the wolverine. Maybe a three toed sloth. Either way you get a vicious badass animal that will kill in an instant. The national plant will be the cactus because fuck other plants, give me the one with thorns that is dull and boring. The national anthem will be called hippies suck and so do stupid people. I guess I would have to be king. That would mean the detroit lions would move to kerplakistan and recieve government funding to kick ass. Crazy Go Nuts University will be a fine state institution. The mascot will be the mighty dumple (see strong bad emails on homestarrunner.com). Back to my bitching. So yeah, i'm frustrated. So angry. Anyways, enjoy some photos. So the ragin cajun james carville chills with diddy. I wonder if he sings "the D the I the D the D the Y its DIDDY...hold up". Holler.

America, I want a divorce...
Now Playing: Fuck Authority-Pennywise Puff Daddy - You have a LOT of people to kill. With all the hype around young voters and getting out to vote, once again young people proved their stereotype of being lazy and uninterested. 10% of voters age 18-24 voted. WHAT THE FUCK? If that number had been near the nation average of 54% this election would have been VERY different. I hear everyday about how much people hated bush or how much they hated kerry. 54% of eligable voters showed how they felt. Everyone else are fucking hippocrites. Put up or fucking shut up. I'm not pissed about the election. Actually yes I am. I knew Bush would win. I know that there are enough dumb people that have bought into his bullshit. He preaches moral values. Riddle me this batman? When does he FUCKING show them? Hmmm? Still waiting? Give me ONE example. Still Can't? See, I know how to win an election now. It is pretty simple. All you have to do is talk. Just talk about having moral values and religion and people will think you have values and religion because people are stupid. Bush uses faith...correction Bush abuses faith. He claims that he is religious. He claims that influences his decisions. You know what? Aren't church and state separate? Aren't we fighting people that use religion to influence their decisions? He says he talks with god. You know what. I think george bush is the anti christ. Hear me out on this one. He gets elected to a second term despite going to war(please don't argue with me on this you are wrong...trust me) on false pretenses. There are more terrorists now than there were prior to 9/11 (see state department stats). The economy is for shit. His tax cuts (and once again you are wrong if you oppose me, don't even try) didn't do SHIT. Lets scratch our own backs (rich people...kerry included) and piss on the working class. Remember trickle down economics? This proves that the american people are dumb. Trickle down. The rich get everything and whatever slips through their hands the poor can have. The trick is convincing the poor that they have the power and they trickle down onto others. But I digress. Back to my bitching. The environment. I'm NOT a fucking hippie so don't fucking call me one but jesus tapdancing christ people how can you not care about it? Bush is the worst...WORST president EVER of all-time in history when it comes to the environment. This isn't even close. People this isn't a petty protest issue, this is a human life issue, a quality of life issue. My hat is off to bush for doing other things to distract the public from the environment and making people that call him on it seem like evil unhappy people. Well George I am unhappy, and if you want evil, wait until you try to reinstate the draft. Thats when shit goes down. Thats when the canadian population increases astronomically in the 18-25 age group. I have decided to become a politician once a graduate and make some money or marry a rich woman. I mean if W can get elected TWICE I can get office somewhere. GOD DAMNIT people. What the hell is wrong with you america? Why are you so stupid? Why is there such a herd mentality? Why do christians feel obligated to vote for bush? Seriously, this is pissing me off. Christians...and I need to be careful not to offend 3 billion people here...pull your heads out of your asses. How do you equate being a caring, good, honest person (which is just some of the great things about christianity and religion in general) with HAVING to vote for bush? I have heard so many christians say that they have to be good christians and vote for bush. I can't even form a coherent sentance that expresses the vast amount of anger/rage/and disgust I feel when I hear something like that. Where in the bible does it say to vote for bush? Since when do christians associate with republicans? Remember that guy Jesus? He was a decent guy right? Remember how he totally rebelled against the establishment? How he wanted change? How he voiced his opinion about it? How he did something about it? How he preached peace and love for your fellow man? Isn't what he did and preached the basic foundation of christianity? Does any of that sound like republican ideals? Does it sound like anything that bush has done? Um, just to help you out here the correct answer is NO! So how do christians follow this guy and this party? Please tell me. Aren't church and state separate? What the fuck is going on here people? Please tell me. Please.

My guide to the Presidential Elections
Mood: Now Playing: Letter Bomb-Green Day So with all this talk about swing states, undecideds and voting controversy (see ohio with the suppresion of democrat votes or Nevada with the disposal of hundreds of voter registration forms...all democrats. Hmmm...seems like kathryn harris is a busy woman) I have decided to do my part in helping voters decide between a giant dueche (john kerry) and a turd sandwich (george w. bush). Thank you south park. Anyways, so after weeks and months (actually hours) of scouring the internets (bushism) I have created a slideshow type of deal that will make fun of both candidates. Hopefully you will come to your senses by the end of it and vote for Kerry. I mean what? Who said that? A vote for Bush is a vote for an animal hater. He drops puppies in front of school children and then laughs about it. Then he pees on the kids like R. Kelly.
