Random Thoughts Percolating ...

Here's some random thoughts that have been brewing in my noggin lately.

Since Tiki Barber left, Eli Manning really hasn't had a check down receiver that can catch the ball out of the backfield. And there's many times he needs that. Especially with Plax gone. And Brandon Jacobs has hands made of stone. I think Travis Beckum, a halfback/TE drafted out of Wisconsin this past year could be the answer. ...

I played the Wolverine demo the other night on Xbox 360 and thought it was awesome. I usually hate hack and slash games because they get stale quickly. I wonder what this game would be like. ...

The curious case of Benjamin Button should have been called The boring case of Ben Button ...

Season 7 of 24 is one of the best seasons ever. ... Rescue Me too. .... I highly recommend both shows.

My wife wants to watch Glee, the new show on Fox and I told her to seriously not like the show,e because Fox will cancel it after 2 episodes. That's just their M.O.

I really liked Bedtime Stories, the Disney-Adam Sandler movie. It was heartwarming. ...

I don't know what's wrong with the Yankees this year. They just suck. ...

Grace is awesome, btw....

The More Things Change...

...the more they stay the same.

When I was 12 years old (when it was much too late at night) I used to play Tetris on my Gameboy in my dark room. ...

When I was 17 years old (and it was much later at night) I used to listen to Steve Sommers on WFAN in my dark room. ...

So, I found it funny that last night... now that I'm 31 years old (and it's much, much later at night) that I watched the end of the Yankees-Red Sox game on ESPN Gamecast on my cell phone ...while my wife and 11 week old daughter slept nearby in our dark room. ...

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Happy Birthday Donnie Baseball

I've already chronicled my slight infatuation with former Yankees First Baseman Don Mattingly -- bordering on the same psycho, bro-mance levels as my affection for Robert Plant and Jack Bauer -- so I won't rehash it here.

All I'll say is: Happy 48th Birthday, Don Mattingly. Hope you got my card.

...I'm kidding....seriously. I am...

Just Yesterday

It’s been 25 days since you left
But I still feel like I saw you just yesterday.

I love you Mom.
And while the pain might subside a little.
It is and will always be there.

These past 25 days:
I raged.
I cried.
I dreamed.
I’ve accepted it.
But when I go to sleep and when I wake up, it’s still the same.

It’s an empty feeling.
A numb one.
I can’t explain it any better than that.

I’ve had flashbacks too numerous to count.
And I can’t make them stop.

I try.
But they don’t.

And still something is pulling me through these days.
Something that I can’t even see.

I think it’s you looking down on me from heaven, Mom.
Even though I still feel like I just saw you yesterday.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter...a day late.
