Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey yaars!

I just noticed that I haven't managed to write in a bit and figured I'd amuse you all! The past few days have been good, having gone to different family friends' homes for Christmas, Boxing Day, today, and last Friday. Nothing spectacular to report from their end, just a fairly good time with a decent meal and some jokes.

I FINALLY managed to whup my brother at Madden today. I beat him 36-13 as the Steelers (over the Bengals) and he was semi-pissed. I'm admittedly afraid his knack for vengeance will lead to a drubbing tomorrow! I have to say though, the win edged me towards the Steeler's camp. I already like their team, like seeing Coach Cowher go bananas, and think it would be a great way to chat up our good friend G-Unit!

Just read that we got Troy Glaus (officially). It's too bad we had to see Orlando Hudson go, but at the same time it was a move you had to make. A 3 time all-star in exchange for a 1-time gold glover and expendable pitcher is a deal you have to make if you want to contend for a playoff spot. Though I'll miss his crazy plays (and crazy voice), I think the Jays are better after this deal. Now if only they could find a way to get rid of this corner infielder back-log!

My hero of the moment? Che Guevara. No, it's not because of Rage Against the Machine. A few days ago whilst bored I read about him on Wikipedia and love his story. I knew a bit about his socialist roots and guerilla warfare tactics, but have total respect for the guy and admire his principles. I SO need one of those t-shirts! (Quick note for reference, the iconic T-shirt print is actually a modification of a photograph of Che at a funeral - his "visionary" eyes looking skyward is a case of artistic interpretation). Oh, and btw, Che means "friend" in Spanish. It was his nickname as he used the term quite often while conversing with others (kind of like me using yaar - Yaar Rathore?).

Anyhow, have to get some rest so I can get up at a semi-decent hour to drop my brother @ work, and my mother @ her best friend's place! I'm free for the next few days so if anybody has anything in mind, shout me a holla!

Talk to you l8er!
