June Update

Lots of stuff going on...

The softball team returns to action this Thursday. After two weeks of no games, still no practices scheduled.

TV excitement going on... The Apprentice season finale was obvious. Sean was an easy winner and a good choice. Last Comic Standing has returned to NBC. Hopefully, it will do the ratings to keep it on NBC instead of moving the rest of the season to the Comedy Channel. Simple Life has returned. I still have to watch the Sunday episode. Supergroup has been fun to watch on VH1. Sebastian Bach and Ted Nugent are just great TV. The new Brady show on VH1 has picked up where the last one left off and it's the same old conflict, which is still entertaining. The Ultimate Fighter is winding down and I'm anxious to see who wins. The UFC 60 didn't surprise me so much. Matt Hughes is a great fighter and Royce Gracey is a legend, but I fully expected Matt to win. Since the shows I'm interested in are winding down, I've been watching WWE RAW the last couple of weeks again. I'm anxious to start watching the ECW on Sci-Fi soon. I'm watching the burn off episodes of Freddie, Joey, Rodney, and Blue Collar Comedy as long as they are running them. They will be missed as they were opportunities for some great TV if given room to grow.

Lots of political things going on. Immigration laws are already on the books. Quit grandstanding and just enforce the law. It's so much simpler and it's what an overwhelming majority of Americans want. It's not a racial issue. It's a matter of upholding the law. Primaries are taking place for the races in the fall. I'm rooting for the farthest left candidates possible so the Republicans can just walk right back to work. Less government and lower taxes. Vote for those two agendas and enjoy your freedom. Iran better do what we ask. It's that simple. Iraq has come a long way, baby! They are so far ahead of how we got our own country rolling. Congratulations to our troops for the great job they are doing and to the Iraqi people for sticking to their desire for freedom and working toward it. Gas prices are still going at the market rate. I'm just hoping that the market allows prices to drop ASAP. It's not that bad for a guy like me, but imagine if you do a lot of traveling. It's gotta hurt. Thankfully, the economy is rolling right along and unemployment is minimal. It's great to see what can happen when you allow people to keep more of their own money. This economy would not be rolling as it is without that.

Musical things are going on, too. So many great groups and I'm still discovering more. I've had the time of my life this last several months discovering so many new bands. It makes me feel young knowing this stuff before most people and introducing such great bands to my friends. I have a list at the bottom of this post of bands you should be checking out. Let me know what you think.

Well, time for the list as I think I covered just about everything! Click on the band name and check them out. Most of them have some great tunes on their site and some videos for your entertainment pleasure.
