Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!
awesome video as always by TrueHoop’s Kevin Arnovitz on the ridiculously entertaining Gasol-Sheed matchup
Has it been a year already since Obama’s Cairo speech? Wow. I remember watching it on CNN as it happened and getting the chills; I couldn’t believe the words coming out of the mouth of the sitting American president.
“If I had $1000000, I’d buy you a green dress. (But not a real green dress, that’s cruel.)”
“Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?” It’s been ten years since High Fidelity came out. An old friend once told me that I reminded her of Rob from the movie. How could she have known? Was misery that obvious?
Here’s a cool video of Shawn Michaels walking backstage, after what was apparently his last WWE match at Wrestlemania 26, losing to the Undertaker. Along the way, he exchanges laughs with a familiar face: Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart.
Shawn discussed their relationship with the Baltimore Sun a few days before Wrestlemania, and it looks like the erstwhile enemies are each in a good place now:
It was important to me to talk to him face to face. All you can do is sort of bare your soul in front of somebody and let it go from there, and that’s certainly what I did. I remember way back when I first came to WWE and how we used to get along, and it was nice and it was pleasant. And to have that now is nice. I know for a lot of people it may seem strange, but for he and I it’s a nice place to be. I look back on my return in 2002 and so many things have gone full circle, and to be where he and I are at now, it’s one of those things where you say, “Man, second chances are really nice.” Everybody doesn’t always get them. You know me, I’m a little deep and a little goofy about that stuff, but it’s important. In a strange business and in a business that, heaven forbid, you show your heart, you’re going to be called a bunch of stuff and made fun of constantly, but for me, it was nice and it’s a great place to be with him.
SANDWICH NIGHT
April 7, 2010 Wednesday
Saguijo Cafe 9:00pm
3 sets of rarely played songs
plus dj sets by “the diegos”
P100 entrance
“at the end of the night, there can only be one”
I live only a block away from Saguijo, and I can’t believe I haven’t been gone there for about a year now. I think I also watched Sandwich the last time I was there. Pupil was also playing. Sadly, they didn’t jam.
“When Times sportswriter Mike Penner announced he’d become Christine Daniels, he sought ‘joy and fulfillment.’ After a year of accolades and ordeals, he returned as Mike. But his struggles continued.” What a sad story.
