Random thoughts that I've been having lately.






Michael Vick. We know he's in shit for dogfighting but he recently tested positive for Marijuana and he's being sued by Royal Bank for a loan recall of $2 million. I'd like to think the guy still has money but I'm doubting it which raises the question, how can a guy who makes $10-$15 million/year not have any money?

This raises more questions in my mind, guys like Mike Tyson who once made $99 million/year without endorsements, is bankrupt. How does this happen? I realize we're not dealing with rocket scientists here, but to lose that much money is crazy to me. I don't look at bank statements either but I know if I'm missing $20. I guess it makes me think of the people that I think are rich but probably aren't.



The next thing is that Floyd Landis was recently found guilty of doping, a mere 1.5 yrs after winning. Personally, in a sports world where doping seems to be the norm, it doesn't matter to me. But I feel really sorry for the guy that came in second that year who should be the winner. Now that guy won't have any endorsements because that ship has sailed. If I were him, I would sue the shit out of Floyd.




Brett Favre tied Dan Marino's all time touchdown record last Sunday. I'm happy for him. He's had nothing but shitty seasons for the past few years and he was written off coming into this season. I've been a Packer fan since I was young and I've stuck with him. Its nice to see him do well and the Packers are off to a 3-0 start.




For some reason I've been craving McDonalds burgers and fries. I haven't caved in yet but I feel that I'm about to crack. I know the food is made from "lips & assholes" but its just so tasty - I hate that.

oh you caved matt!!!! i hope it wasn't rose tempting you b/c she KNEW you were craving it!!!

i love mcdonalds too. especially breakfast.

i think about those people who are broke when they make millions. the more you make, the more expenses you have too. so if you're making a $2000 mortgage payment as a regular person, they're probably making a $20,000 mtg payment. and they also have people looking after their money, and probably not very well and they end up extorting money from them too.

Nope....it was me. I tempted her because I was craving it.

You know Di, I posted a hockey players mtg pmt once and it was more like $95K mtg pmt haha.

Darren McCarty had a couple million stolen from him. It all starts when idiots give authority of their money to scum.
