Another reason to go to Vegas????

So, someone told me today that Garth Brooks is doing shows at the Wynn. I looked it up and he has been doing them for almost a year now. Over the summer he re-upped a contract to do show for September, October and November.

Regrettably, I have never seen him live. I know it will not be the same but I am sure he still puts on an amazing show.

Garth...in Vegas...wow.

Giants - Rangers

As a Dodgers fan, it is killing me to see the Giants in the World Series.

Now, they took game one...ugh. LETS GO RANGERS!

Speaking of bad sporting events, last weekend was pretty bad for me.

I was rooting for Iowa to beat Wisconsin...they lose by 1. During the game they missed an extra point and a field goal.

The Broncos lost by 1,000,000 to their rival...the Raiders. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I am a fan of Brock Lesnar and he looked as good as the Broncos on Saturday getting knocked out in the first round.

Luckily Liverpool actually won a game...they are still at the level of being relegated though.

Lets hope this weekend is a little better for me!

Baseball Contracts...for all you die hard baseball fans

I found this incredible site that lays out all baseball contracts.

I could spend hours reading it. If you go on the left, you can pick a team and it will lay out the details of each contract for each player.

Could you imagine if everyone's salary or contract was public knowledge for every job? it is a little crazy to think about.

New TV Addiction...Pawn Stars

I believe after talking to Ploth and then a couple people at work who watch the show, Michelle and I decided to give Pawn Stars a shot. Lets just say I am SUPER happy we did. We have been taping them as much as possible and didn't realize that we are in the middle of a new season. Every show is new to us...for the most part.

Funk told me that History channel has been really pushing 'reality tv' shows. This is sad to me because they really don't belong on the History channel. I mean what am I learning or how does this pertain to history. Also, what does that say about out society that channels need reality tv to help ratings...yikes.

Yes, Pawn Stars is a reality show but it does belong on the History Channel. For those of you who have never seen it, this show is about a pawn store in Las Vegas (of course). Basically, people come in with random items and the guys there must decide two things. 1 - what is it worth. 2 - can we make money on it. What the show does well is inform the viewer about each item (ie the history of it, why it would be valuable). Also, the guys that run the store always call in experts to help value items.

It really is a fascinating show and I am amazed at how many people have random items from the different wars America has been in. I also love when they buy an old toy or item and restore it. Usually, restoring it gives them a big profit.

If you have 30 min, go check it out. It is a nice informative show.

That is MY SPOT!!!

At home, we have a long sectional couch that it 'l' shaped. My normal spot in on the end where the extension goes out. Michelle usually lays along the normal part of the couch. Here is a pic of a similar couch for a visual.




Well, a certain somebody, SAMANTHA, has really taken to MY SPOT! I was working late last night and I got this picture sent to me.



Don't get too comfortable there kid! That is MY SPOT! I gave you the Bronco pillow...fine...but my spot...WTF!

Looks like I should start getting used to the floor...
