I used to love these lil’ guys when I was a kid. I spent countless hours of fun with my Garbage Pail and Homies collection.

Yep, that’s right. One day after a black man got nominated by his party to run for president for the first time evar in the U.S. and A. Washington D.C. may now get wiped off the face of the earth by a tornado. Well, maybe not wiped off the face of the earth, but there is a tornado warning in effect until 8pm tonight, and there is sure to be some hecka extreme weather.

Ron Paul and David Duke are probably hanging out drinking a tall can somewhere laughing.

Last week, Team Saucony wrote me a nice little note, telling me about their web site, www.teamsaucony-originals.com. The site focuses on Saucony’s sponsorship of alternative team sports, the ones “that don’t require cleats, pads or helmets.” That’s totally up my alley. The reason why I got into music in the first place was because I could not for the life of me catch a football or shoot a basket. The first day of little league I got a black eye while they were trying me out as a pitcher. No joke. I just really suck at sports.

But Dodgeball? Four-Square? Holy shit! I am awes-…okay, I’m not great at those either, but I can at least hold my own. {side note: personally, for me, playing sports is like holding my own, you know… But as previously documented, I do like to talk about balls…}

Team Saucony is organizing a summer sports league, focusing on the sports you played during recess.

From Team Saucony:

This summer in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle, Saucony is going to sponsor some select offices to compete against other offices in sports that you may not have played since you were about 12.

Dodgeball? Kickball? Four Square? FOR REAL!

We’ll provide the equipment, uniforms and, of course, some sweet Saucony Jazz Originals. Win or lose, we’ll hook everyone up with plenty of free suds at the local watering hole (clarification: water = booze, hole = your mouth), where you can re-live your sporting glory, or drown those memories of athletic incompetence.

San Francisco, Seattle, New York and Chicago: the only 4 cities that matter. EAT THAT LA! fuckers. You can read about the stipulations for signing up your office on their site. All interested parties can contact sauconyoriginals@drillteammarketing.com to sign up.

If SF wasn’t a 3 hour drive from the Synthesis office we would be all over that. Besides, most of us are too busy with the Synthesis Softball team:

EAT THAT, OTHER LOCAL MEDIA.

So, I’m sad. I feel that my life has no purpose and I live week to week with nothing to look forward to–in that, there are still 140+ days until the next season of LOST starts.

By that time, I will be living in a different place with different people and my life will be, well, DIFFERENT. Either way, it’s pretty hard to go on with my life without that captivating television show that I follow religiously in hopes of figuring out “the whole story”…which of course never happens.

Well friends, THERE IS HOPE…

And it’s starting a week from this Sunday…or two weeks from yesterday, which ever you prefer. Nevertheless, I’m stoked. If you click the image above you can go to the site and watch the season preview…OMG, does it look amazing.

Don’t have Showtime?

Be like me: mooch off your friends (or siblings, in my case) that live near you and have Showtime. Make it like a “family” night, fun for all!

I know, I know, you don’t have to thank me for these ingenious ideas I have.

If you buy one record next Tuesday, August 28th, make it Surrogate’s Love is For the Rich. There are many reasons for this, but here’s the main one:
