Love the Fall, Hate Finance Journalists

Before I start, I'd like to thank my four followers for their support. Very touching.

Over the past 10 years I've probably watched 10,000 hours of CNBC. This channel needs to be taken off the air immediately. I've never seen more fear-mongering and sensationalist journalism in my life; not even from Fox News in 2001-2004. Half of their segments comprise of the anchors yelling over each other to get their point in. This would be a good thing if it wasn't so annoying because none of them have anything intelligent to say, anyway. Maria B is the only redeeming thing about the station and sometimes the Aussie blond chick is okay but only because she has a cool accent. I sometimes consider quitting my job so I don't have to listen to these douchebuckets talk for 10 hours a day. The guys from Minority Report are going to arrest me for the murder of Michelle Caruso-Cabrera any day now.

Yes, I am going to talk about Liverpool. They are back (I think) but need two more players to compete for a top four spot. They beat Chelsea in a big way but had to play mid-week against Wigan (shit team) and only drew because they ran out of steam. Hopefully their new transfer guru can figure this out and buy some decent players that don't resemble Christian Poulsen and Joe Cole. Also, Roy Hodgson needs to stop wearing parkas on the bench; it doesn't inspire much confidence when your manager looks like he might freeze to death in 50 degree weather.

Oh, I almost forgot - I finally booked my Vegas trip. If you never see another update from me it's probably because I died there. December 16-19 - everyone is invited! One thing I won't be doing there is caring about fantasy football. If I wasn't so rooted into my leagues I'd probably quit and if you think that this is only because my teams blow then you are probably right. I wish I had Eli on my teams to give me a reason to care. Fuckin' love that guy. He's the 3rd best quarterback of all-time behind Simms and Hostetler. He's ranked slightly in front of Fran Tarkenton and Kerry Collins.

Battlestar Galactica? Who the hell would have thought this show would be good? I DID BITCHES! I went into it fully expecting a masterpiece and it delivers in a big way. It has hot chicks, stuff blowing up, some sentimental moments, some flashback episodes and a cranky old dude who should have been cast as a pirate or a Scot in all those pirate and Scot movies that have come out over the years. Trust me, the show is worthwhile and if you think I'm a nerd loser then I don't blame you but you can go fuck yourself. That's all I got for now...
