My Daily Thoughts

Ok, so this is something I am going to try and do every morning. Some days, it may be random, some days, it may be happy, others it may be a rant. Today, I've got a little of each for you. First off, I had my meeting last night. What they presented to me sounded awesome, however, I'm not sure if the time is right. I have a bunch of things I want to do in the near future and taking a risk like this right now may not be the smartest idea. However, the network that I could possibly create and the potential opportunity is huge, so I guess I have some serious thinking to do.

Now, the rant...so, I got home last night, and I decided to finally give in and watch the season premiere of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" that had the Red Sox on it. Now, let me make it abundantly clear that I have never watched this show. I will never watch it again, but this was like a bad train wreck. Now, let me go back and tell you why I decided to watch. Back in Spring Training, 'round April, the Red Sox decided to do this show to raise money for a little league field in FL. Well, during the taping, apparently, the over the top clown that calls himself "Carson", the one I consider the absolute gayest human on the planet, decided that it would be funny to pick up and place the jock strap of Doug Mirabelli (Red Sox Catcher) over his nose and inhale like Dennis Hopper in "Blue Velvet", you know "Oh, I'm slutty". After hearing about that, I was incredibly disgusted. I'm not a homophobe, I really don't care if you're gay, but that is just TOO GAY!!! I mean, seriously. So...lets bring it up to speed. Well, radio stations have been talking about this event for awhile, because it coincided w/ this gang throwing out the first pitch at Fenway, (thats a separate issue) so it was on my radar again, and I'm still disgusted. To make it worse, I'm in NYC this weekend and what do I see, but a friggin poster promoting the show and the channel w/ the "Fab Five" wearing Red Sox uniforms, and the queen bee, Carson, wearing a PINK RHINESTONE STUDDED RED SOX JERSEY!!!. Tell me that isn't the worst marketing placement in the world, I mean, NYC, Heart of the Yankees, our most hated rival, and our uniform is draped all over the Tri-state gay coalition? Awesome. So...I had to watch the show...now, I know you think this can't get worse...oh, it does. So about 35 minutes into the show, they are waxing the back of Red Sox Captain Jason Varitek, when again, they go a place where I never want to. All of a sudden, another member asks Varitek, "Do you want your taint waxed?". Now some of you may or may not know what a taint is, but for those that don't, how can I put this....umm, on a guy...its the area between your grapes and your buns. Now, I know women get brazillian waxes, and thats great, and I am a strong advocate of personal grooming for both males and females, hey, they do it for us, we should do it for them, but your flipping taint? I don't know whats funnier, the thought of waxing it, the excruciating pain that is associated with it, or the fact that the area actually has a name as amusing as the taint? Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem w/ gay people. What you do is your own perogative, but there comes a point where its just over the top and too much to handle. Thats my morning thought, I open the forum to all of you.

Peace out.
