Rumours...

so I went to Rumours Comedy Club tonight here in Winnipeg with my fiance Dana and some of her family. It was a good time overall but I realized something about comedians these days. there's not really any such thing as clean humour anymore. the guy up there tonight was from San Francisco, and apparently (I overheard the manager of Rumours talking with a customer about this) this guy was one of the cleaner acts they have... Now I don't think I'm sheltered, but I thought some of his stuff was just unnecessary, even kind of gross.
It seems like comedians humour is solely based on the "taboo" subjects in most circles, or else the humour thrives at the costly expense of someone else. there was this guy in there tonight just getting roasted the whole night...and I wondered to myself, "will this guy actually take some of this to heart?" He just had to take it because your powerless in the audience at a comedy show. You can't really defend yourself, so it's almost like you pay to be vulnerable and hope the comedian doesn't catch eyes with you, because if he/she does...you're getting roasted the rest of the night! It seems like comedians strictly want to get a reaction from the crowd, even if it's out of awkwardness by the subject. They don't seem to have any sense of really connecting with the audience in my mind...

so I ask a very simple question, "where did the Bill Cosby's of the world go?"

so blue...

I know that there is more to life than football...

but not much more. I am kidding of course. Well only half kidding because I did find myself listening to "emo" music and looking through the 2007 Bomber roster at http://www.bluebombers.com/ around 2:30am yesterday almost crying myself to sleep because it was so hard to see those guys who worked so hard all year not come home with a ring. I get emotional about the blue.

I am saddened by the loss yesterday of my team, especially because I know without a shadow of a doubt that there would have been blue and gold confetti spewing out after the game if one bone wouldn't have been broken.

You can't make excuses though, we had to play with the cards we were dealt, and they just weren't good enough yesterday.

I am sad for guys like Stegall, Glenn, Roberts, Brown, Simpson, Westwood...I could go on.

I am happy for guys like Kent Austin. I think he's a classy fellow.

But, it is history now, even a day later...

So, it's time to hit the gym again, look at game film, pick up your britches... and do it all over again.

I will always be blue and gold... always.

Bombers vs Riders...what a beauty

I can't think of a better match-up for CFL's most coveted cup. Perhaps it is because my home team is in it, and perhaps it is because it is arguably the best rivalry in the CFL!

My boys are going into the Cup with their 2nd stringer at the helm... You know what though, I'm not all that worried for some reason. I think the man from Boise State will do just fine.

As for the networks that were hoping these two teams wouldn't be in the big Dance because ratings would be down... I say this to them: "The only thing good about the cities of Toronto and Vancouver is the number 1 hyway that leads straight to Winnipeg!"

Obviously I say that half fecisiously, as I know some good folks from those cities...however, gear up folks...This will be one heck of a show! W

What a beauty, I can't wait.

my boys

O bombers, my bombers! You snuck one out yesterday... Atabeeboys! The Rough Riders won too, so I'm hoping that we'll see them in the Grey Cup so we can destroy them like we did at the Banjo Bowl!

you've gotta think positively, right.

Go blue!

still immature I suppose...

I went to Subway today for a delicious Sausage Egg Breakfast sandwich.

I ordered and the lady said, "I'll just be a minute, I just have to zap your sausage in the microwave."

I chuckled deeply.

So immature.

Yet so frikin' funny.
