baby kiffin gets tennesee job...

Well, @ least he isn't taking over my Washington Huskies...

I can't believe the punk kid got a plum job like Tennessee?

He will not succeed- I guarantee it! Mark my words...

happy thanksgiving...

After spending a quiet Thanksgiving by myself in 2007, I am very thankful to spend this Thanksgiving with my parents and relatives in Honolulu.

Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday because it's all about enjoying a turkey dinner with friends and family...

grilled lion...

To my surprise, I was informed that a certain restaurant located on Nob Hill served lion as an entree a few weeks ago. Wow! From my source, I heard the meat is a little sweet. Quite frankly, I don't have the balls to try lion.

I'm sure that ignoramus defeated vice presidential candidate would relish dining on lion and she probably wished she shot and killed the predator...

sfmoma...

I'm a member. I joined during the summer when the Frida Kahlo exhibit first opened.

Anyway, I'm happy that SFMoMA like MoMA in Manhattan allows museum goers to take pictures of art without a flash...

p.j. carlesimo fired by the thunder...

Why does this idiot keep getting chances to be a head coach in the NBA? Granted, he was a decent coach @ Seton Hall, but his NBA foray into coaching hasn't been successful other than riding the coattail of Greg Popovich in San Antonio and getting a few rings as an assistant.

Carlisimo should get a clue and go back to the college ranks. A small college back east like Iona. Perhaps Iona is too good for P.J. the dumb fuck...

There has been justice in the coaching ranks this year with the petulant punk Lane Kiffin getting fired by the Al Davis, the incompetent Mike Nolan getting the ax by the Niners, the overrated Tyrone Willingham being forced to resign by my school UW, and now the screamer, infamous for the Latrell Sprewell choking incident P.J. Carlesimo.

I think it's the Obama affect, replacing the most incompetent president of my time and not allowing a "so called" maverick with a clueless VP candidate continue the farce in the White House. Getting rid of incompetents is only part of the equation. The jury is still out whether the above mentioned teams made good decisions with their current replacements or in the case of UDub hire a head coach that will bring us back into prominence...

I'm still pissed that my hometown Sonics moved to Oklahoma City...

harrington for crawford...

I do hope this trade comes through. Jamal Crawford is from my high school in Seattle- Rainier Beach. He'll fit well into Don Nelson's system. Al Harrington should thrive in Mike D'Antoni's offense. It's a good trade. As reported in the New York Daily News, Marco Bellinelli may be included in the trade. It would be a good change of scenery for Marco. But the way the trade looks, it will a straight up trade- Harrington for Crawford.

I'm going to criticize the incompetence of the Chron's Warrior beat writer Janny Hu. There is no mention in the Comicle about the trade as I write this post. She's horrible! She has no business being a sportswriter! At least Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury made mention of this proposed trade.

north beach restaurant...

I'm going to give props to Marilyn who works behind the bar for always recommending an excellent meal @ this joint.

Last night, the philandering mayor and his wife sat @ the bar next to me and a buddy. He consumed a fake beer and the wannabe actress had a glass of red wine. Like always, he didn't pay or tip anything What a cheap bastard!!!

don wakamatsu...

He was just named manager of the Seattle Mariners. It's about time. Don out of Hayward High will be the first Asian-American manager in baseball history.

Wakamatsu was a high school teammate of current Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio. And Don was a teammate of Barry Bonds @ ASU.

Wakamatsu has a tough job with the hapless Mariners. I wish him the best.

periodontics...

The branch of dentistry concerned with structures surrounding and supporting the teeth. Dental implants are part of this specialty. My nephew is a DMD(Doctor of Dental Medicine) from Tufts University in Boston. Currently, he's attending Columbia University to obtain his post doctoral M.S. Degree and Certificate in Periodontics.

stanford's josh childress...

The former Atlanta Hawk is now playing for Olympiacos in the Euroleague which is pro basketball in Europe of course. Anyway, Childress is making 20 million on a 3 year contract with all taxes taken care of. Meaning he's taking home 20 mil.

He was interviewed on "Outside the Lines" on ESPN and Childress says he's treated like a movie star in Greece. I saw a clip of him having his feet kissed by an adoring Greek fan.

Childress also has free housing, transportation, and a personal chef.

The funny thing is that some of the gyms that Olympiacos plays in are smaller than many high school courts.

The owner of the team is a billionaire shipping magnate and said he doesn't mind losing money as long it turns into championships.

I guess the partial Stanford education that Childress received helped in his decision making. He wouldn't have made half of the money this season in the NBA and that doesn't include the paid taxes and other amenities...

I respect Josh Childress...

tim lincecum wins cy young...

Wow!! I didn't think it would happen, but it did and I'm ecstatic about his selection! Timmy deserved it and he's a UW guy like me, so it makes it even better.

I thought Brandon Webb had it in the bag. My question is when were the votes submitted. If it was right after the regular season, I don't think Lincecum would have won. If it was after the World Series- which gives the voters time to evaluate the season, than I can understand their reasoning...

mormons and prop 8...

I just realized if you take the middle "m" out of Mormon you get moron. From this day forward I'm going call members of the LDS church Morons...

Spending a ridiculous of amount of money to pass Prop 8 is reprehensible. Why deny couples of the same sex the right to be married? In this day and age and I'm not sure this figure is totally accurate- first time marriages in California have a 60% divorce rate. Apparently, California doesn't calculate divorce rates.

I say, let gay couples marry. It should be their choice to enter into a union that has a high failure rate.

I just read an article in the Comicle calling to boycott skiing in Utah and the Sundance Film Festival. I don't ski, although I'm gone to Sundance for 11 straight years and I was planning on attending for the 12th year in a row. Now, I have to think twice about setting foot in a red state that obviously voted for McCain and funneled tens of millions of dollars to back Prop 8.

The Morons are morons to potentially harm their tourist industry...

michelle obama's dress...

I was so fucking happy that Barack won the election, but his wife's dress last night was hideous...

To me, it didn't work on any level...

pubic hair...

What happened to pubic hair on women? Man, it's gotten to the point of being ridiculous... I don't want it to go back to the seventies when women had bushes up to their navel. I'd just like to see a nice triangle that is well kept. A small landing strip is okay. Just give me something...

In any event, @ my age, seeing any live pussy is a blessing...

censorship...

One of my reviews was censored on yelp. It was regarding Perbacco. The owner asked me to change my review and I refused. That is a real chicken shit move by the site and I have vowed never do another review on that site. Sooner or later, I'll quit the site. They are basically making money off my reviews and I'm not getting jack shit for them.

Let me be more specific. My review of Perbacco was removed by yelp...

C'est la vie...

new peets on 4th near harrison...

Right across from Whole Foods. The barista totally screwed up my macha green tea freddo. It wasn't even fair @ best...

Good spacious location. Peets is growing too much in my view. Please don't become like Starbucks...

I shouldn't have stayed with my usual medium americano...

Free wifi is always a plus. I bought a $25 Peets card and received a free medium drink.

denver nuggets practicing @ scla/sf...

I saw fat George Karl getting interviewed in the gym. And I saw a much heavier Mark Jackson and Mark Jones. I guess the media used the gym @ my club to conduct their business... Mark Jones works for ESPN/ABC. I believe ex-Knick and St. John's star work primarily for ESPN.

Go Warriors!

obama wins...

This is one of the greatest moments in my life. I have hope. I love America!

and thank you new mexico...

I've actually been to the airport in Albuquerque. Governor Bill Richardson was a big help...

thank you to the voters of ohio...

For choosing Barack Obama. Ohio was the key 20 electoral votes for Obama to win the election...

200 electoral votes thus far...

The road to 270 and California's 55 electoral votes have yet to be counted. Washington's 11, Oregon's 7, and Hawaii's 4 seem to be a lock. That's 277...

bob's steak & chop house @ the omni hotel...

In the City of course. The Texas based restaurant serves a mean drink. I ordered a black label on the rocks and the pour is phenomenal! It's 13 bucks a drink, but well worth it. It's a real fucking scotch on the rocks...

The spinach salad @ about 10 bones is good, but on the small side. I'd order it again...

fivethirtyeight.com...

I become a fan of this site that is tracking the election run by a baseball stat nerd. When you see the cat on TV, you'll know what I mean...

He projects Obama's win percentage @ 98.1%. The highest thus far this election.

His electoral projection is Obama 346.5 and McCain 191.5.

538 is the amount of electoral votes available in this country.

brenda's soul food...

Went there for the second time. This visit I tried the oyster po' boy sandwich with cole slaw. It was good, but too rich for my taste. I also went for the crawfish beignets. Those suckers are fantastic! And yes, they are too very rich...

The coffee @ Brenda's is fair @ best. It is strong, but most of time it's lukewarm. I like hot coffee...

The joint is on Polk near Eddy in the City.

a four year funk...

In reality, it has been eight years...

When Bush was reelected in 2004, I was devastated. I went into a depression that will not end until Barack Obama is voted in as President tomorrow.

I used to think that talking politics is taboo. Now, I think otherwise.

From this day forward, I will stand by my beliefs.

I believe in Barack Obama...

obama leads cbs poll by 13 points...

Again, I won't be satisfied until I see Barack Obama win this thing. When I see double digit leads for Barack, it's a good thing. A lot better than being down...

undecided...

How in the fuck can someone be undecided about the most important presidential election in our lifetime?

Do these people read? Are they that stupid? I just don't get it?

My advice to all those so-called undecided out there- don't vote, we don't need you...

msnbc...

I don't know whether it's a good thing or not, but I have become an MSNBC junkie the past month or so.

I really like the trio of Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Rachel Maddow...

53-42...

Final USA Today/Gallup Poll. I know it's far from over, but Obama has a 11 point lead going into Tuesday's election.

I won't be happy until I see Barack Obama win on Election Day...

sorabel in sf centre...

Of all the places to nosh on in the basement of this shopping center, 90% of the time I go for the barbeque chicken @ Sorabel with steamed rice, noodles, broccoli, and kim chee.

I'm a big eater and I can barely finish the portion they give @ this place.

big win for cal...

Beating 23rd ranked Oregon sets up a big matchup @ the Coliseum for the Bears against the Trojans.

The miserable conditions @ Memorial Stadium reminded of those rainy days @ Husky Stadium in Seattle.

My advice to Tedford- start senior Nate Longshore next week...

the cafe @ scla/sf...

I wanted to have some breakfast and they don't even poach eggs. I find that extremely weak! To me, it's unacceptable!

ipod chargers on new treadmills @ scla/sf...

Fantastic! My iTouch has a tendency to drain its battery extremely fast. This is extremely crucial since I'm @ the club all of the time. The problem with the treadmill I used is the audio when connecting to my iTouch was barely audible...

Now, I wish every cardio device had a monitor. When I first jointed this club, every stationary bike had a television. Now, there are several without a screen. Let's face it, it's easier to do cardio when you have something to look @...

jeff kent is really a fucking asshole...

I saw a headline in the Chron about Steve Young and prop 8 and I assumed he was voting to ban gay marriages. I was surprised to read that his wife is against 8. Young hasn't publicly said whether he's for or against the measure. His Mormon church has spent millions upon millions to pass the proposition.

Par for the course, I find out in the article that Jeff Kent the true prick that he is donated $15K to ban gay marriages.

Young's wife has donated $50K to defeat prop 8. I'm still not a fan of Steve Young, but I respect his wife Barbara...
