Facts about the Obama Speech

Comments? I am extremely interested to see where this presidency ends up and if people will still love him after he can't come through on half his promises.

Survivor Brazil

So I finally got around to watching last week's survivor. I really like when they have challenges where people beat each other up...quality stuff. I also like how there are multiple idols around camp that no one has found yet.

People I like: Sierra (hot), Sydney (hot), JT (or TJ I forget), taj (but why the f is she allowed on the show when her husband is a millionaire?). I'm still undecided on Coach. I could see how he could be really annoying, but at the same time, i like him and glad they knocked off the chick with the huge knockers.

People I don't like: the old truck driver woman, and i kinda don't like stephen either...he is just a big fruit.

who do you guys like/not like?

People who rock flip flops and drive with the top down in the winter

Whats with people these days? Its fucking February! Why are they wearing flops? And I'm not talking about one of those freak 70 degree days. I'm talking 42 degrees with a windchill into the upper 30s and dudes are in flops. Not women, dudes. Look I love my flops. In the summertime thats all I wear. But in the winter???? C'mon. Your feet are white as snow and are also turning a slight tinge of blue from frost bite. What are they thinking? Prime, I caught the guy who drives "PHAT 4D" truck coming out with a winter jacket, jeans, and flip flops. It seems like an epidemic, I've never seen it like I've seen it this year. And then the chumps who are driving their convertibles with the top down. If its cold enough to snow the top should stay up. Especially if your in a Miata or something like that. You might be able to pull if off in a Ferrari but not in a mustang. People like that are opened for mockery. I'll pull up to them and be like aren't you cold? They tend to smile or laugh it off and I say seriously its like 35 what are you doing. I guess people are prepping for global warming????

another one bites the dust

Not really post worthy but I didn't think anyone was still reading the comments from the last one.....just happened to be sent this video of a blatant dive and thought it was pretty funny, not sure if peeps had seen it yet or not...

funny point about this, not only the stupid dive.....but the fact that he probably would have scored if he didnt dive

plays like this are way too common (not to this extent but the diving in general) in the little soccer I have watched, and are making it hard for me even to sit through a full game. one positive i will give the MLS, they rarely have blatant flops like this

Boski gets owned by old fart

So Boski is driving home for lunch today like I normally do and I pull into my hood. To help paint the picture the entrance into my hood is a long road that comes from Wesleyan Drive. It goes about 1/2 miles and then there is a stop sign and you can either go left or right. When you come up to the stop sign you are coming up a small hill and there is a low wooden fence/guard rail all around the areas. Boski pulls up to the stop sign, stops, looks both ways and notices a early 2000(s) Cadillac coming in to turn. It is going slow and has a handicap plate, I think about going but then say you know I'll wait for him (I am big defensive driver now). He signals and I notice he is turning very close to my car. I see him rolling down his window. I'm thinking he is going to say I have a bulb out or maybe ask for directions. He is an old guy, I roll my window down, turn my music off thinking lets see what this nice old man wants. Dude says "The stop sign is back there" and points behind my car and drives away. I could not respond, I was so shocked I couldn't even think of what to say. The stop sign is about 5-6 feet from the curb of where the street goes left or right. But you have to go past the sign to make sure you can see clearly. Here I am thinking I am being a good driver and this dick head makes this smart ass remark. After he drove away the first thing that came into my mind is make a U-turn and go after his ass. I did not. I've got the dudes car in my memory, and I know hes got a handicap plate. I will hunt this man down. But seriously I mean how much more of a ass can you be? I stopped, I waited for your slow ass, I was past the stop sign but you have to be. Fuck that old man.

boon's drunken experience

Last night a girl walks up to me and offers to buy me a drink. My reply is a swift "no" (pointing to my already full glass). Why? because I'm an idiot I guess. Then she asks if she can buy me a shot. I said ok....After taking the shot I ask her where she's from. Her response: Orlando. Have I ever been to Orlando? No. Do I for some reason decide to go into detail on why Orlando is the worst city in Florida? Yes. Why? I have no clue. She decides to drop me and go somewhere else....Of course I don't blame her, I would have done the same. The question is why am I such an idiot? Maybe if I was sober I would have done things differently? I don't know....

There really isn't a point to this story, I just thought it was pretty funny looking back.

Biggest Legislation of Our Generation

Obama's Stimulus Plan Passes in House

Obama's proposed stimulus plan has officially passed in the House and is moving to the Senate on an expedited schedule. Some high level details are outlined in the following link:

Stimulus 101

This blog is short, but simply pointing out that the summary of the proposed stimulus package is worth a read (if you haven't already). Another thing is to point out that contrary to the claims to "reach across the isle" and run a bi-partisan government, the stimulus package received zero (READ: NONE) Republican votes. It was opposed by 11 Democrats to end up at a vote of 244 to 188. Fear not Boski, your socialist government has arrived!!!!

The two items in the stimulus package that I most disagree with (beside the $819b being spent, $1.2 trillion interest adjusted) are:

1) 6.2% of the infrastructure investment goes to computerizing health care records. IMO, America needs investments in BUSINESSES/MANUFACTURING that have LONG-TERM economic benefits. This also applies to the renewable energy investment as well: this better apply to PROVEN renewable energy that is SUSTAINABLE with LONG TERM RETURNS. I would approve of this type of investment in proven, efficient technology. I hope its not some super bogus energy technology that will turn out to be nothing except appealing to the hippie masses. I do approve of the majority of the money going to education, though.

2) Tax breaks for small companies and companies 'affected by the downturn.' Small companies employ small amounts of workers; not going to save the US. A majority of the companies included in the 'affected by downturn' were probably poorly managed to begin with (hi auto and banks). News flash: every company is affected. The good ones just manage it better. But I guess it makes sense to reward the companies who are performing the worst!!!!!

"Increase weekly unemployment benefits by $25, and provide incentives for states to expand unemployment coverage" falls along the same lines. Lets reward states for giving money away!

Thoughts?

P.S- Cara said it was straight for you to visit Boz. Cleared it last night. Just book the flight.
