For those of you who enjoy Fantasy Football, you know that running one team is enough to drive you crazy every week. I have the unfortunate task of running three teams. Most people frown upon playing in multiple leagues, but I was invited into three leagues…so I’m playing in three leagues. Like most people with in multiple leagues, I have the “league that I care about”. I have one league that it’d like to do well in. The other is purely for fun with no prizes for winning. My frustration lies in the fact that I’m doing extremely well in all three leagues. Let me break it down for you:
League #1: The Dip Ships
12 Team League
Record: 6-3 (Tied for 2nd)
Power Ranking: 2nd
Grand Prize: Balcony Cabin on The Rock Boat
League #2: Sixthman
12 Team League
Record: 6-3 (Tied for 2nd)
Power Ranking: Tied for 1st
Grand Prize: $200.00
League #3: Another Reason To Drink
8 Team League
Record: 8-1 (Tied for 1st…with my Girlfriend…and she’s good.)
Power Ranking: Unknown
Grand Prize: Nothing
Still a few more weeks left to go…and the good news is I’m playoff bound in all three leagues. I think I’ll start to vent my frustration with my lineups here. I’m sure someone will enjoy it out there. Wish me luck…or don’t. Go Falcons.
I am an avid fan of stand-up comedy and have been for the past ten years. I don’t know what draws me into it, but I admire anyone who can get up on stage, grab a mic, and attempt to make people laugh. Many people try, most of them fail. However, a few go on to be great.
One of my favorite comics, Greg Giraldo, passed away yesterday from an overdose. The news surprised me, however the cause behind it did not. Edgy, hostile and witty, he was one of the few comics that possessed the ability to take a room full of strangers, brutally offend them, and still have them laughing hysterically by the end of his set. Some of his credits include numerous appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, Last Call with Carson Daly, Last Comic Standing, and of course the Comedy Central Roasts. I’m not going to do a full bio on the guy because if you care enough you can Google him and read up for yourself.
On my list of comics that I’ve wanted to see perform the most, Greg Giraldo was at the top. I remember he came to Atlanta not long ago and I was unable to go to the show. It didn’t bother me too much because I had the “I’ll catch him next time” mentality. The same thing happened with Mitch Hedberg before he died. This is why you don’t procrastinate.
To me, the coolest thing about him was that he was a lawyer before quitting to become a stand-up comic. I’m not sure of the accuracy of this tid bit, but Wikipedia has him only being an active comic since 1999, which by industry standards is impressive that he achieved so much in so little time.
In summary, if you respect and appreciate something/someone…do yourself a favor and go see it in person. You’ll regret it if you don’t. Just a suggestion, but a fitting tribute to Greg Giraldo would be a Comedy Central roast in his honor…just saying.

If you drive on a toll road everyday, and you don’t have an EZ Pass, Cruise Card, or whatever your state calls it…you are an idiot and I hate you.
So, this morning I was driving to work on GA400 and fast approaching the toll plaza. I do not have a Cruise Card so I merged over into one of the toll lanes marked “Cashier”. At this point…I was tired, yet happy (as illustrated below).
I apparently I misread the “Cashier” as it turned out to be the “Stop ‘N Chat” line. Of the three cars in front of me, two of them had a nice little chat with the tollbooth lady. Not a short chat…at least 45 seconds for the first car. Almost a full minute for the second car. I was now slightly irate after my 2 minute wait. I’m aware that rhymed. I’ve got a 4ft stack of flow back at my apartment.
The second car I’m speaking of was the car directly in front of me. It was a woman, and her color is irrelevant for all of you racists out there. She was driving a Mercedes Benz S-Class car, so it’s safe to assume she’s wealthy. However when leaving the house this morning, knowing she’d be taking a toll road, she “forgot” to bring the $0.50 needed to go through it. Not even $1.00 to make change.
Keep in mind that I can hear this entire conversation between her and the tollbooth lady. So after Mrs. Mercedes (I can only assume she’s married. No single woman owns a car that nice. Sorry, just saying.) pleads her case for almost a solid minute, she gets out of the car…and walks toward my car. Luckily I’m not a filthy-rich idiot like her and actually have money on me. As if she was talking to a child, she asks if I “would be a good Samaritan today” and lend her $0.50 so that she may go through the toll plaza. Of course I gave her the money so that she could get out of my way. Then she proceeds to thank me…in the most talked down to and condescending way possible. At this point I would have given anything to turn into a monster and devour her.
She clearly viewed me as a lesser human, when it was her that has a $50-$80K car with no money. I’m not sure what happened to that lady after that. I don’t really care. I’m signing up for a Cruise Card today though.
If I were a conspiracy theorist I would say that they hired that lady as a marketing tool for the Cruise Card. My experience with Mercedes caused me to sign up for the Cruise Card today so I’d never have to put up with people like her ever again.
I just realized that I never gave her a receipt. If you are the lady in the above picture, please email me and I’ll get a receipt in the mail to you asap! How inconsiderate of me.

I logged onto twitter tonight to see what was trending (this is how I get my news…sad, I know), and I saw that Bill Cosby was a trending topic. My immediate reaction was that he had passed away. Of course I clicked to see what all the commotion was and apparently he is NOT dead, but rather very alive and on Lopez Tonight. As it turned out, I wasn’t the only person who thought he had died.
Since I started typing this, 96 people have commented about Bill Cosby on twitter and all of them thought he died too. This of course should keep him trending for a while, causing even more panic surrounding the non-death of the great Bill Cosby.
I’m curious to see how long this goes on for. Also, I’m curious to see if Bill Cosby has a twitter account. I would love to see his face when he logs in later and sees that all of America thinks he died.
Long live Bill Cosby! Thanks twitter for trying to kill a legend. I really need to find a more reliable news source.

We began moving into the new apartment last night. At least we’re not moving to a 3rd story walk up apartment again. We’ve already learned that lesson. Tonight the plan is to get the bedrooms and couch into the apartment. I’m not really sure how long that will take though…hopefully will go smoothly…hopefully. After tonight I’ll probably want to shoot myself. Two more days…

Given that I have to work…it’s not possible to have a “summer vacation”. I do, however, plan trying to do as much as I possibly can this summer in my off time. I already have a trip to LA planned at the end of June for 8 days. I also plan to go to New York City at the end of July. I would like to go back to New York before the end of August and Los Angeles again before November. Let’s see what happens…
I have also made notes in my calendar for when my favorite comics come to town. My whole New York trip is based on Tracy Morgan playing Caroline’s on Broadway. My thought is that if I base a trip around something, like a comedy show, that I really want to see…then it’s totally justified. Sounds alright??? I think so.

So I was in the drive-thru at the Chick-fil-A today off of Cumberland Pkwy in Atlanta, GA…and there was a girl (early early 20’s) driving a Lexus SUV in front of me (daddy’s money). She had 5 coupons that she planned to use for free Chick-Fil-A Sandwiches.
She starts to order, “Like, ummm, I have five coupons for a free Chick-fil-A Sandwich…so I want four of them to be Grilled and the other regular.” Almost immediately, the cashier came back with, “Okay, that’s fine. I will just have to charge you the difference in price for the Grilled chicken sandwich.” This apparently didn’t sit well with Ms. Lexus. She responded, “well we do this here all the time, I don’t see why I have to pay extra for this…It says ‘One Free Chick-fil-A Chicken sandwich’…they’re all chicken sandwiches”. The cashier said, “I understand that, but the Original sandwich is called the Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, and so the monetary value of the coupon is in the amount of that particular sandwich, which is $2.75.” Ms. Lexus was furious at this point…”well can you ask your manager if we can get them all for free”.
At this point I’m just feeling bad that I’m not able to videotape this. The 5 sandwiches, at most, would be around $15 total if they were to pay full price. The difference in price of these two sandwiches is maybe $0.10 – $0.50. So, at most, they would be paying a collective amount of $2.00 for the upcharged grilled chicken.
The cashier came back after asking the manager and told Ms. Lexus that they weren’t able to do that. So instead of just getting the 5 sandwiches…she speeds off. I’m not sure what her deal was…but I’d imagine she drove to another Chick-fil-A and tried the same thing, and probably spent more getting there than she was going to pay for the extra charge.
In summary, Ms. Lexus…you are thankfully a rare person in this world and should be euthanized. Not only did you give the nice cashier a hard time, you also made me wait behind you while you tried to get freebies. Nobody likes a freeloader.
