Did My TV Get Smaller
On Sportscenter today I was squinting to see my already small television divided into two distinct sections of programming. With live anaylisis on one quarter of the screen and the rest offering game stats of completed games, I actually looked at my remote to see if there was a button that would make this distraction stop. I could not find it so I got closer to the TV and now I don't have any nose hair. So I was not surprised during tonight's MTV Video Music Awards that during commercials they were going to the corner screen for the commercial, and advertising with what screen I had left, what was coming up... on the show I was watching. Nothing like being told what is about to happen in five minutes to take the fun out of such a lively and never predictable spectacle like the VMA's. Getting to my point, Kobe Bryant delivered the MoonMan for best video, and they preemptively described him in a way that struck me as a bit odd. So I'll offer it to you and get your opinion. Coming up in five minutes... Bad boy Kobe Bryant presents video of the year.
Can anybody tell me absolutely any reason in the history of this world by any chance, WHY, Kobe would be labeled a bad boy? As he limps through games flopping and getting cheap calls and pretending to be injured on one play so that it looks that much cooler when he dunks on the next. Bad boy? Hogwash, except... He was accused of raping a young woman in a Colorado resort. I found it rather sad, and pathetic that to make Kobe Bryant "cool" they had to play on his badassness which only stems from one incident, which probably shouldn't be used out of context or joked about.

Welcome to my blog. I love my wife, my dog, movies, and bringing down the man.

I didn't have time to read this yet, but yes, your TV is tiny. Who would have thought that a 25-inch TV would be considered tiny one day. Regardless, I'm glad you're moving up to a bigger one soon. Now I can take full advantage of your NFL Sunday Ticket.
More to come when I actually read the rest of your blog.
I actually can't stand MTV anymore. Maybe I'm too old. I don't know.
I agree with you though, I hate it when half of the programming is taken up by telling you what's coming up next or what you just saw.
And in all reality, if Kobe did rape that chick, then he really is a bad boy. Just not in a good way.
I had the distinct feeling the entire time that we were watching the VMA's that not only am I too old for MTV, but I am too old by a decade, not just a few years. Nothing even seemed like it was supposed to be familiar to me.
