Chargers 0-1
Friday, September 23 2005

Football
Ok I have gotten a request to write more about football and less about being drunk. I haven't been drinking lately so it's makes sense.
My Chargers are 0-2. The first game against Dallas was an offensive disaster. The Cowboys blitzed 3 out of every 4 plays. They had no regard at all for our passing game. Antonio Gates would have been helpful cause they would have had to have Roy Williams cover him instead of blitz right at Drew Brees.

Geeklog news plugin has a major bug
Monday, September 19 2005

Geeklog
So there I was minding my own business when the girl asks me what I meant by a thing I wrote here. At first I tried to deny that I wrote it. But even worse it was due to a bug in my news plugin that lets people see the titles for stories that aren't available to the public (if you pay me I might let you read it). Due to my unpleasant episode yesterday, I decided this bug takes highest priority over all else. Should be an easy fix stupid draft flag.

Jerry Rice
Tuesday, September 06 2005

Football
303 games played, 284 games started, 1549 receptions, 22895 yards receiving, 14.8 average yards per catch. He once caught a 96 yard pass, had 197 touchdown receptions, 645 rushing yards in 87 attempts, 10 rushing touchdowns, and holds 38 NFL records over 20 seasons. Out of all that he only fumbled the ball 27 times, 10 of which he recovered himself and only causing two turnovers. He even threw the ball for a 41 yard touch down in 1995.

Jerry Rice is the best that ever played the game. I cried watching him announce his retirement. I remember when he entered the league, I can hardly remember football without him.

Good luck to him in whatever he tries, I am sure he will be the best at it.

Geeklog Music Bug list and feature request
Monday, September 05 2005

Geeklog
I know some of you might have noticed the music link at the top. Click it and behold a new plugin for Geeklog that I am working on. It seems to be working pretty well so far. Please add any bug reports you find with it to the comments below. Try out the comments for songs and all the stuff on the music pages. Just about everything band related is a link. I don't have the menu at the top yet but it will make more since once I do. Just play with it.

Some bugs might be with the updater application only, please note if they are for the application or the web site. If you don't have the application then don't worry about it (just know it's pretty sweet, but isn't close to a beta version yet, will probably end up changing it into something completely different, before too long).

Click on the links to Amazon.com, and iTunes to buy the songs or albums, help support the development of this and future projects.

A Girl Named Sleaze
Sunday, September 04 2005

Poems
so there I was
puffing on those durban trees
rolled up in a blunt
with a bit of Lebanese
so powerful, it could
bring you too your knees
seizing on the ground
like a dog who has flees

then there was
the girl named Sleaze
black, and white, and
a little Cantonese
she didn't even know how to
say the word tease
just a couple minutes
she could bring you to your knees
smile on your face
cause she aimed to please   read more (119 words)

Jeff Blake is now the hope of the bears. Gotta feel bad for Rex Grossman two seasons in a row he is out due to injuries.

Chargers training camp has started
Saturday, July 30 2005

Football
The season is finally upon us. I am getting really excited. On Tuesday before the Chargers practice there will be an autograph session. I will be there with a huge shit eating grin on my face. I love football. The Chargers have signed all but two of their major contract disputes. Rookie Shawne Merriman is still not anywhere to be seen. I have read a lot about Merriman lately and I understand why he wants a huge payday. He grew up in a real bad place, worked his ass off to be the best football player he could be (here is a good article about him), off the field he single handedly put the first man on the moon, and he invented the fork and indoor plumbing (see that is why blogging isn't journalism which he invented as well; I can say what ever I want here). Well he didn't really do those last three but read that article to see what he has done, we do need him in camp, and he deserves to make good money. Sign him already, the difference a few hundred thousand dollars means to the team vs a player of his potential says to me "fuck just sign him already!". We NEED more pass rushing!   read more (380 words)

Simple PHP Gallery for Geeklog
Wednesday, July 06 2005

Geeklog
I recently found a great easy to use photo gallery and edited it to support geeklog. Just upload a directory of images and it will make a gallery of thumbnails that cache, and show within your Geeklog site. It doesn't use any of the plugin api so be sure to read the geeklog_readme.txt for install instructions. You can see a sample of it here. You can download it here. And this is where I got the original scripts Simple PHP Gallery. I would really like to thank the original script author for making such an easy to edit/use script.

I can't wait for football season to start
Sunday, June 19 2005

Football
God I can't wait for football season to start up. My San Diego Chargers are looking pretty strong in the off season. The addition of Vincent Jackson to our receiving core seems like just the right move. This kid can play, and he is huge. I was concerned with defensive tackle Luis Castillo (or "steroid boy" as he is affectionately known as), but after reading up on him, he seems like a good guy who made one mistake. I really hope the back office gets real and signs some of these other guys (Antonio Gates, and Shawne Merriman). Unlike Merriman, Gates is the man for showing up to every practice without a contract. He might lose a bit of a bargaining chip by not holding out but what he gains in respect from both the fans and the coaching staff is awesome.   read more (260 words)

The bearded giant
Tuesday, June 14 2005

Poems
So confident but insecure,
the bearded giant who was so sure,
he knew so much yet died so young.
Words of comedy, intelligence, wisdom
flowed easily from his tongue.

Remember that 90 degree day in May,
Even then he wouldn't put that wool jacket away.
To be hot and sweaty was the price he had to pay,
to look nice, and he always did, I must say.

Sitting at home drinking Steel Reserve from the can,
or sitting there in the corner Stella in hand,
if the music was playing, it was always his man.
He was the biggest Tom Waits fan.

Pacing through that house he called his mind,
Searching for something,
writing down the things he'd find,
for us his friends to read in time.
Keeping it entertaining, real, yet still sublime.

Every evening, he's still at the Sod,
his second home,
so don't be sad, don't cry and moan,
for today and forever,
none of us will be drinking alone.

Have faith my friends, Jamie is still near,
and finally when your time comes have no fear,
he'll be waiting with a stool, a smile and a beer.
