canada's victory over the usa in mens hockey...

I must admit I haven't seen a hockey match or game since the USA won the gold medal in the 1980 Olympics and I know I missed something epic...

With that victory, Canada broke the Olympic record for gold medals in a single games with 14.

I've spent much time in Vancouver throughout my youth and it is one of my favorite cities in the world. I could even live in Vancouver...

I didn't watch very much of the Olympics, but it felt so familiar to me, because of my familiarity with Vancouver.

I give kudos to Canada- it was a phenomenal Winter Olympics...

a beautiful day in the city...

As much as women cause me pain and heartache, they also inspire me...

For example, although I'm starting late, I want to enjoy every last moment of sun as per a friend of mine. Many times, I lock myself into my mancave and I don't realize how lovely it is outside in the real world...

Cheers to my female friend who gave me the incentive to enjoy this beautiful day in my City...

Domo arigato gozaimashita...

closure...

It took me about two months, but I finally have closure in a personal situation...

I'm still not enthused by what transpired, however I feel a weight has been lifted from my shoulders...

Life is too short. In retrospect, I should have demanded closure on New Years Eve...

valentine's day the movie...

I admit it. I enjoy romantic comedies...

The critics can pan this film all they want with its all-star cast, but I found VALENTINE'S DAY entertaining.

I could have done without the casting of Taylor Swift. I just don't see a future for her in acting...

The two hot Jessicas are in this film- Alba and Biel. Jessica Biel is a superior actress over Jessica Alba. I prefer Biel. Alba can't act.

My question is- will Bradley Cooper ever be a viable leading man or is he more suited to be part of an ensemble?

tsunami warning in hawaii...

My parents live in Hawaii and my sister is visiting from the Bay Area. I'm not really worried about it, but I'm a bit concerned.

There was a tsunami warning several years ago in the islands and basically what happened was 2-3 foot waves in Waikiki.

shutter island...

The latest from Martin Scorsese starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

I'm glad I didn't read any reviews beforehand and I wasn't familiar with the book whose author also wrote MYSTIC RIVER.

I didn't like the film as much as my friend Marc who recommended it to me, but it did surprise the hell out of me...

It isn't Scorsese's best work, however DiCaprio has turned into one hell of an actor. I would even say that his performance is Oscar worthy, although most Academy Award nominated films are released @ the end of the year...

The more I think about the film, the more I like it...

tom cable...

From an outsiders point of view, I don't understand why Tom Cable isn't disciplined by the league?

NFL commissioner Roger Goodall suspends players left and right and rightly so for drug use, gun play, domestic violence and this mediocre Cable doesn't even get a slap on the wrist...

For those who don't know about Cable, he had a well publicized run in with an assistant coach that resulted in a broken jaw sustained by the assistant coach and he's had several incidents of domestic violence. Criminal charges weren't levied against Cable, but he and the Raiders are being sued in a civil suit. The domestic violence allegations didn't result in charges being pressed.

It's pretty well established he's a shitty coach who only still has the job because he's probably kissed Al Davis' ass that his lips are forever tainted with AD's stench...

I think of Cable and I'm almost longing for the days of Bill Callahan as the head coach of the Raiders and that's not a good thing...

Roger Goodall should step up to the plate for suspend Cable for personal conduct violations- which are basically what Goodall deems punishable...

Players and coaches should be subjected to the same guidelines and in this case, there is no fucking way...
