Update From The Zoo

We Still Love Tori
Thanks to Christina for reminding me about the Florida animals – known around the world for the beating of our favorite high school cheerleader. These scumbags have also been referred to here on Blog About Nothing as the Florida “Punks”, “Dumbasses”, “Pigs” and a few other choice names that you’ll just have to read again to learn my true feelings about these, um, precious little snowflakes.
Trust me, I’ve actually held back much of what I was thinking.
Anyhow…
The news is – no real news, yet.
The criminal cases against Brittini Hardcastle (18), Mercades Nichols (17), Kayla Hassall (15), April Cooper (15), and Brittany Mayes (17), continue to move forward, slowly, as they face charges of battery and kidnapping related to the beating. Nichols, Mayes and Hardcastle also face a charge of tampering with a witness.
All five are out on bail.
No trial dates have been set, however pretrial hearings are slated for November 18, 2008.
In a shock a revolation to absolutely nobody whatsoever, Brittini Hardcastle’s lawyer has requested that her client’s curfew be extended so… no, wait… (…drum roll…) she can attend church two nights a week.
Church?
If anyone chooses to believe in an invisible wizard who lives in the sky, I fully support that – no matter which version of that wizard they choose to believe in. But, don’t you think that He gets very perturbed that most of His followers come to Him while awaiting sentencing for some heinous crime that may lead to life in prison?
I mean, you never find non-believers out there picking flowers in a meadow on a sunny day, watching the butterflies flutter amongst the delicate petals, and all of a sudden announce that they now believe in God and will be committing to a life of goodness.
Nope. Instead, the shining light – apparently – only comes to you after you’ve completely fucked up your life.
I don’t know, if I were God, this would just really piss me off. Hmmm… Maybe that’s why He created Ebola.
Well, I hate to break the news to you Brittini, but I have pretty direct contact with God and He’s told me that he’s not interested in your soul.
Sorry, Brittini, this is your new god:

Cheerleader Season
July 27th, 2008Cheerleader Season
My Favorite Season
Around the NFL, the guys are returning to training camp in preparation for the upcoming season. The new playbooks are being perfected and guys are competing for starting positions.
This is my favorite time of the year, as I wait in great anticipation for the start of a new and promising Cheerleader Season.
Um… I mean football season, of course.
But, I can’t wait to see all of those new faces on the team…
Cheerleaders And Google
July 26th, 2008Cheerleaders And Google
A Strange Combination
Google never ceases to amaze me. There is not doubt they provide an incredible tool that has become an essential part of our lives, but their search result logic sometimes baffles me.
Somehow, Blog About Nothing has become the #1 search result for “uga cheerleading 2008″.
Now… Please understand… I absolutely love cheerleaders. They are God’s finest gift to mankind. In fact, they even rank above mermaids.
And, as my favorite college team(s), I am also quite fond of UGA.
But, I currently only have one post about a UGA cheerleader.
How that qualifies my little blog for the top in the results is beyond me. Possible Google can read my mind and realizes that – while I only have one post about UGA cheerleaders, they are in fact on my mind for the better part of each day.
OK, Google, I’ll try to live up to the bar you’ve set.
In the meantime, Go Dawgs!

Well, Crap
OK, so the results of the Celtics vs Hawks game last night wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for…
But hey, that was just a game. And we Hawks fans will never be losers as long as we have the A-Town Dancers.
It’s Just A Phone
April 24th, 2008It’s Just A Phone
I’m Not Impressed
So, we all know that I’m a computer geek. I live, breathe, play and dream computers. It’s not limited to computers of course. Any cool electronic gadget will keep my normally ADHD brain occupied for hours. In fact, electronics rank right after cheerleaders and money in my top 10 list of favorite things.
What I don’t get though, is why this doesn’t carry over to cell phones.
For the past several years, my business associates (also computer geeks) have drooled over the newest cell phone technologies, and are quick to visit their service provider for upgrades to the latest and greatest.
There’s usually a certain amount of unsolicited discussion when they first begin looking at new cell phones, then when they make the decision, followed by how they have to leave early to meet the FedEx guy and take delivery of the new phone, and the inevitable show-and-tell the next day at the office.
I usually just share the obligatory “oh, cool” with them, and then try to extract myself from the official cell phone demo.
Here’s my cell phone requirements:
- Must make and receive calls.
- Must be comfortable in my pocket.
That’s it.
“Hey, look! My cell phone has a GPS navigation system!”
Um… So?
I have a Garmin GPS in my vehicle. Why would I want one on my cell phone? It’s not like I’m going to drive around, holding my cell phone up in the air as I try to follow the tiny little map on the screen.
“My cell phone plays MP3s!”
Really? So does my iPod.
I do have a camera on my cell phone, but that’s not a requirement. It just happened to be on the phone style I wanted. The camera gets used maybe once per year – or however often the high school cheerleaders have those car washes.
For me, the most enjoyable part is watching all of these people run over to the window every time they get a call, because they have little or no reception otherwise. My “plain old” cell phone, however, works perfectly no matter where I am, or what building I happen to be in.
Of course, if I get lost in that building, I won’t have a built-in GPS to find my way out. I guess I can at least call for help though.
