Day 60

I'll say this - no chance anyone thought I would make it to 50, let alone 60. Its hard to come up with solid material, but I always have a lot on my mind. I am moving more in the direction of short ramblings on on occasions doing blogs about one subject.

Casey threw up twice yesterday, once in the morning and once on her way back in last night. Because the snow is still piled so high, I have to take her out in our gated parking lot to have her run around and go to the bathroom. The good news is that she runs around off leash. The bad news is that she keeps eating dirty snow and it caught up with her. Anyone who doesn' t think his is good practice for a kid is crazy.

My least favorite celebrities by far are Jamie Foxx and Ashlee Simpson. Jamie Foxx, you won an Oscar for a good impression of Ray Charles, and because of that, we were exposed to insufferable and annoying interviews on him for two years. How many more times can this guy tell the world about his grandmother? Talk about old bits. Dude talks more about his grandmother than I talk about my father. Look at his filmography on imdb.com. Tell me what other part he ever played that was memorable? Ali? That movies was as long as it was boring. Before Ray, he was in those timeless pieces of art like "Held Up," "Booty Call," and "Breakin' All The Rules" to name a few. The best thing he ever did was his song about Serena Williams as host of the Espy's. And then there is Ashlee Simpson. She is an absolute no talent. Why does anyone care that she is now dating her strange looking guitar player or that she had an eating disorder when she was 11? 11? I love how that story was put out there the week after her sister announced her split with Nick Lachey. Like her puppet- master father didn't purposely leak that at the exact right time to take the focus away from Jessica.

Here is a question - what guy would go see the new movie "Brokeback Mountain?" If you aren't familiar, this is essentially the story of two guys who lead straight lives, get married, have kids, but are really in love. I am far from homophobic, but you couldn't pay me to go see this movie. Any guy who goes with their wife or girlfriend to see this movie also needs to check their pants to make sure they still have testicles. This movie however received 7 golden globe nominations this morning.

Browns fans like me are enjoying what we are seeing for the future with rookie QB Charlie Frye. I don't know what it is, but I just like the way the kid plays. He is smart, tough, and shows solid moxie. Its a shame Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow are hurt. We would have some solid pieces on offense along with RB Reuben Droughns.

Does anyone think this war in Iraq will ever end? Where is the exit strategy? If I am a person looking to run for president in the next election, all I am going to work on in my campaign is having an exit strategy planned that I can go public with. Talk about something that will make you popular. Even most of these pro-Bush honks out there cannot be happy with what is going on there. And what is exactly going on in Iraq anyways other than our soldiers dying everyday?
