I’m currently watching the 2ND night of the Republican National Convention. I tried watching it on MSNBC (my favourite cable news network), but there was too much commentary on there so I flipped it over to C-SPAN and now I’m getting the real deal – the convention uninterrupted – with intermission videos and all. I’ll stick with C-SPAN for the duration of the party. President Bush, Fred Thompson, and Joe Lieberman will be speaking later tonight. I’m looking forward to it. They just showed ‘Bush 41’ and ‘Barb’ at the convention LIVE and in-person. That was cool !

TOMORROW on the big blog I’ll be presenting my weekly NFL game picks for this upcoming season-opening weekend. Normally I’ll be doing it on Saturday nights between now and the end of December, but since the season officially kicks-off this Thursday night on NBC-TV I need to do it early this week. Be sure to check that out tomorrow night. You won’t regret it pal.

Have a peaceful and quiet Tuesday night everyone, and REMEMBER THIS !

CHANGE THAT SIGN !

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

Now Hear This. It’s On My Mind (Pure Energy):

1.  Tropical Storm Fay flooded Florida from Key West to Tallahassee, Hurricane Gustav brushed us aside this past weekend en route to the U.S. Gulf Coast, and now we’ve got Tropical Storms Hanna, Ike, and Josephine lined-up across the Atlantic. I’ve never been concerned with Hanna. She could disrupt plans further up the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Ike could be flirting with the southeastern Bahamas and the north coast of Cuba on Sunday and Monday as a Category 2 or 3 Hurricane. I’m watching Ike closely. You should too.

2.  Yesterday an 18-year relationship ended. I’m talking of course about my relationship with State Farm Insurance. They insured all 4 of my cars during this time-period. Effective yesterday morning at 12:01 AM GEICO became my automobile insurer. Hail to the gecko !

3.  Why do I not shop for clothes at Hollister ?  It’s because I’m not 18-years-old, I don’t surf the wild waves totally bodacious dude, and the strong SoCal smell of that place frankly makes me wanna sneeze !

4.  Michael Jackson recently turned 50-years-old, and he stated that ‘the best was yet to come’. I doubt it. He was cool 25-years-old. He was still cranking out the hits 15 years ago. The best came and went. It’s as clear as “Black Or White” (my all-time favourite song of his).

5.  Florida City (where all of the food is) is the fastest-growing city in Miami-Dade County this year as far as property values are concerned. In fact it’s one of only three cities in the County to show any growth at all this year amidst the current economic slowdown. Read all about it.
