Today is my 27th birthday. Needless to say I haven't been dealt the best hand in recent years (those of you who know the situation don't need it rehashed, those who don't know the situation don't need to hear it) but I've also been taken down roads I never thought I'd go down. You also learn a lot about yourself and the people around you, so I guess this has all been a mixed bag.
This made me think about a radio spot I heard a while back from my high school, Bishop Hendricken. In the spot, Hendricken said in a few years (I forgot how many, probably like 10-15 years) a "Hendricken Man" will have the following:
-A successful career.
-A marriage to a beautiful woman.
-A stronger relationship with God.
I graduated in 2002. Let's review shall we?:
-No job. And before that I wouldn't have called career choices "successful".
-Most beautiful women want nothing to do with me, even before I became jobless and living at home in my late 20's.
-Hendricken's philosophy of shoving Catholicism down the student body's throat is part of the reason why I don't go to church anymore.

Look at the bright side, future Hendricken alumni. You may think the current Vice Principal for Student life is a douche, but at least he's not a registered sex offender.
All right, all right, onto the fun stuff:
Dad, Nick Cannon is hilarious: I was gonna do The Three Flans, inspired by Dave Chappelle, but I figure I'll wait until I'm 30.
I really wasn't. But it's still funny.
URI, it rhymes with CBI: So much for the NIT being a Rhode Island tradition. The Rams have accepted a bid to play in the College Basketball Invitational, because one tournament full of teams that didn't make the real tournament wasn't enough.
This situation is laughable at best, but for some of the seniors on the team this is their last chance to play ball, so you really can't blame Baron for taking it. Best of luck Rhody, best of luck.

| Lame. |
Bangin' it: I really don't want to bring up wrestling in every goddamn post (actually I do) but last night's reappearance of Grand Master Sexay cannot go unnoticed.
All right WWE, who else you got backstage that performed 10 years ago? Albert? X-Pac? How about Essa Rios? Maybe since Michael Cole has carte blanche to make an ass out of himself he can interview Miss Kitty for Friday night.
I believe that only by being 27 do I now have the insight to see how lame Too Cool was.
'Til All Are One: There are many mixed feelings about all the Transformers movies, including the 1986 animated film, where kids were sent home crying because the producers thought it was a good idea to kill off their childhood hero.
But, I hope one thing we can all agree on is the films have great music.
From Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
From Transformers
And the best for last, from Transformers: The Movie. Just click on the "Watch on YouTube" thing.
Out.
