A Little Bit Of Hodgepodge

Hello again from America's most dysfunctional metropolitan area. Thought I would briefly touch base on some things I wanted to write about over the past few weeks, but didn't get to do so for one reason or another. So, here we go...


You're The Man Now Dog

Remember a couple of weeks ago on my Twitter page I had some songs that were rather quite eclectic to say the least, and I asked what those songs all had in common? Well, it is now a defunct website, but YTMND.com up until the advent of twitter, Vine, TikTok, etc., was a somewhat popular site to post memes and the like, such as this one, or this one. Anyway, they have a wiki devoted to it that lists some of the popular memes, and in it, there even is a soundtrack to most of the background music for their memes, which is where I made a playlist and posted said songs on Twitter. So it was a bit of an enjoyable time capsule to about a decade ago...

I Just Took A DNA Test...

Sunday night marks the beginning of the latest Top 40 chart week, and it looked as if Lizzo's "Truth Hurts" may have dethroned "Senorita" and the top of the chart, but the behemoth of a song from Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello continues to gain in airplay, so it looks like it will hold on for a third week. Look for Post Malone to debut with "Circles" this week. He even has his own Funko Pop now, so maybe if a four-year old scribbled on my face, I might become famous (no I won't). All kidding aside, he has a hot debut album that dropped today (as well as the aforementioned Cabello) and I should give it a listen sometime tonight.

Stop Annoying Me With Your Toxic Positivity!

I don't know what peeves me more, the fact that everyone cocks up the geography of this region (TAMPA BAY is NOT a city people!), or that a baseball team that practically nobody gives a shit about, except for about a maybe 10,000 people (including those that have multiple twitter accounts), are doing so well and will likely make the wild card, only to get swept by the teams everyone DOES root for around here, the Evil Empire. Seriously, you tried to give away tickets Tuesday to people who were displaced from Hurricane Dorian and only sold 6,844. And even less on Thursday. If a tree fell on Scrub Boy (those of you who follow me closely on twitter know who I'm talking about), and nobody is around to cover it, does it actually happen? America's ballpark my ass; team of the people my ass...enough about an otherwise irrelevant team.

College Saturday...

As mentioned a couple of posts ago, I would take five games without any knowledge or research and pick the winners. I picked two games on opening week, and lost them both. After a week off, I'll try and do better.

Missouri over West Virginia . I don't like WVU, their coach has a stupid hairdo, plus it's Missouri, who I owe a lot of gratitude for saving a special someone's life

Georgia Tech over USF. UCF>>>>>>>>>>USF; forever.

Texas A&M over Clemson. Picking the upset here, A&M almost had Clemson beat last year, this year they finish the job

Illinois over UConn. Why is Connecticut even in the Bowl Subdivision? I hear they're leaving for the Big East again, so why not downgrade their already struggling football program?

Alabama over NM State. Too easy, plus seriously, have you seen New Mexico State's logo? Hello? Gun control? I'm surprised someone hasn't been triggered (pardon the pun) by it.


Well, that's my little bit of hodgepodge for today. Enjoy the rest of your Friday
