Man I Can't Wait For The Weekend..

What a crappy week. Well, at least work wise.. busy busy busy... Can't wait for the weekend. We're building that wall outside the house and I really need to catch up on some sleep.

Too much good tv on tonight, must blog early. Eight to Eleven, a solid three hours of tv. Earl, Scrubs, Office, 30 Rock and Lost then bed. Throw in a pizza and its the perfect night.

Anyway..so did you see Exxon announced its first quarter profits? Yeah, they only brought in ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS, up a mere SEVENTEEN PERCENT from last year. Thus ensuring I will never buy gas at an Exxon again. My prices are at $3.70 a gallon, and they're making money! And not just money, ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS!!!! jerks...

So I went and got a hair cut today. Those of you who know me, know I go fairly often, basically once every two weeks or so. Ridiculous, I know, but it's what I do. When I hit Powerball (its up to $190 million now) I'm going to get my hair cut every day, just cuz I can. But I got to thinking... why is it they put that little piece of tissue around your neck? It doesn't do anything, nothing at all. It's supposed to stop hair from going down the back of your shirt I guess, but it never does. Its like the barber gets a kick out of making me wear a tiny tissue ascot. And why is it they always use black smocks? Some of us have dry skin and don't need to look down at the smock and see it! Also, they always cut off my sideburns without asking. I need my sideburns, they're part of my look! (insert 90210 joke here) Granted they grow back in a day or two (my head is like an effin chia pet), but that's not the point. Ask before cutting them off.

Great win by the Celtics last night. Its funny, even though they were up by 10-15 points most of the game, I kept waiting for Atlanta to make that run to get right back into the game. It seems like Doc remembered how to use his bench, although I'm still not a fan of Cassell. He comes into the game, dribbles too much and throws up too many shots. Sure, last night he had a good night, but that's a rarity lately. Distribute the ball, play some defense and just hold down the fort while Rajon gets a rest, simple as that. I've been a big Leon Powe guy the past two years, and he's really been playing well lately. Lots of hustle, doing the dirty work. Sure he misses a defensive assignment or switch here or there, but I can live wit that. Perkins will be needed later in the playoffs against the bigger centers, but against the young, quick, athletic Hawks, Powe matches up better. Game six tomorrow night, can't wait!

Hey Toby,

Ummm, you might find that even the oil companies that didn't happen to just announce their profits probably made around the same amount of money last quarter.

Eventually, your car will need gas and you'll have to un-shun one of the local gas stations.

You should try to always go back to the same hairdresser. Not only will she (or he) know how you like your haircut, you'll catch up on all your latest gossip.
