God I hate Cub fans.
Your team is referred to as "lovable losers". It means they suck. They've sucked for a long time and are only recently starting to not suck, but we all expect them to suck by the time the season ends.
I abhor how you stupid Cub fans have made losing somehow cute and cuddly, rather than exactly what it is: what those who suck do, often at life. You are not to be pitied, you are to be spat upon. Society has drug people like you around for centuries and I'm tired of losers like you holding us back.
I hope the stupid "lovable losers" take their piece of shit fans to the brink and let them down AGAIN this year. I certainly won't feel sorry for you.
Fucking losers.

Hotel San Carlos
If you haven't stayed or partied at the Hotel San Carlos lately, you're missing out. Between the weekend pool parties that have been extended to nearly every weeknight and the vibe this place is giving off, just showing up makes anyone feel like part of the in-crowd.
It's classy, it's comfortable, it's right next to a very cool pub (Seamus McCaffrey's), the GM doesn't boot people out for having a good time and it's one of the friendliest places around.
Downtown Phoenix has long needed a place to hang out past 5, and Hotel San Carlos looks to be the place.
Rumor has it that there is an 18-over party night in the works.
Rooms are cheap, too. $79/night. hotelsancarlos.com

Living downtown
Downtown living is more than just having a home close to urban destinations, it's a place to experience new things and meet very, very interesting people.
Take the elderly man who sit on a park bench on 2nd Ave every day. That's right, from sun up to sun down, this guy makes the trek from the Westward Ho to sit, smoke cigarettes and entertain passerby.
Or another guy who works at the Taco Bell at McDowell and 3rd St and the AMC in the AZ Center. Funniest, most sarcastic and best worker I've ever seen. He makes fun of customers, ridicules dumb employees and makes what is normally mundane quite enjoyable.
There's also the homeless people on cell phones (WTF is up with that? how do they pay their bill? who calls them?), the crazy people who like my bikes (two stolen so far) and the multitude of personalities (some from the same person) at the Circle K at 1st Ave and Fillmore.
Welcome to downtown living, Phoenix style.

I'm not attacking anyone personally. I think what you say is ridiculous.

Well, we must have grown up around different technologies. If something doesn't specifically say it CAN do something, I don't expect it to until I see it happen. The iPhone doesn't SAY that it can't be synced to multiple computers, so I don't expect it to.

It seems like you took the phrase "best iPod ever" and decided for yourself what that meant. I would guess any people say it as a phrase designed to sell more iPods.

Every company I've worked for allows this, but I don't sync my personal iPhone to my work computer, it's synced to my personal laptop. And yes, your digital media company sounds VERY cool. I'm sure you're very lucky to work there.

I use my iPods and iPhone for these same things. For my iPod I used the iTalk to record interviews and meetings, for my iPhone I just bought a $2 app called SpeakEasy to record audio. Works great.
I listen to company audiobooks as well (not technically books from my company, but books my managers have recommended for our team).

I have no problem with what you're doing and never said that I did. None of my comments were nasty or hateful. If you thought that they were, maybe you're insecure about what you said and are a little defensive. You should work on that.

I'm happy that you were able to afford both. My comment wasn't specifically directed at you, but in general I would say that subsidizing the 3G iPhone brought a lot more problem customers than the original did.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you checked out my site.

Surgery
Had an infected pilonidal cyst removed last week. It's been nearly six days since they cut it out...and wow, it HURTS. I'm going to be on my side, stuck in my apt for months.
If you're squeamish, don't look it up. If you do, yes, the pics are real and it hurts more than you think it would. It has to be changed twice daily, which is terrible.
I'm up nearly 12 lbs since my lowest in three years weight of 193, but hey, it's to be expected, right?

Fantasy league time
Any of you cellar dwellers given up on your season yet? I'd be happy to offer you lopsided deals for your few stars. Just think, you'd be giving me players to win at the top level, making you just a big a part of my team as minor leagues are to the majors.
I'll even let you eek out saves the next time we meet.
So do what's best. Do what it takes to be part of a winner. Trade you best players to me for pennies on the dollar!

Phoenix people can't hold it in (comment on azcentral)
That's because this city is full of different classes and races that have varying societal levels of cleanliness and norms.
It's not just the illegals, it's also the inbred people in West Phoenix, the too-drunk-to-control-it group from downtown Scottsdale, the masses of babies in places like Gilbert, Chandler and Carefree and the nearly dead, mostly incontinent old folks out in Sun City that can't figure out how to hold it in.
Yay! America is a melting pot! I'm so glad we don't just deport/execute people like this on site!
You do realize that by letting this lower class of people live, we contribute to the denigration of society by still allowing them to breed? We should be weeding out the weak and stupid, not saving them. I say screw penicillin, let's start using stem cells to make super people.
It's not about playing God, just about improving the process of evolution so that we evolve quickly to where we should be, not where we are because we've wasted too much of our time making sure everyone was still along for the ride.
