It's All Good, I Haven't Killed Anybody

Not that I haven't wished I could/would/should.

So, SoulSlam has been AWOL from the old blogville pretty much. Might be pontificating more now. Might not.

I will say this: besides an hombre pajaro who deserves to taste steel, second place goes to all the ghosts I've encountered over the last few months. I'd like to send a big FU to all of you.

Where Has SoulSlam Been?

SoulSlam has been laying low. Some people know why, most have no idea. Whatever.

See you when I see you.

The Big Reveal

So if you're like SoulSlam you watch some interesting TV. One show I've watched since it began is The Walking Dead.

Some backstory: SoulSlam was familiar with the comics, read a few but horror comics aren't really my thing. The mistake I made is percieving these as horror. SO when the show went on the air, SoulSlam was in from the beginning. Over time, others have jumped in. I thought from the get that the show was tremendous. There's been a clunker or two, but overall, it's well-acted, well-written and exceptionally well-cast.

Last few seasons (aka years) I've heard all the "it's not any good anymore, the show jumped the shark, it's the same story over and over...". To that I say "it entertains the be-jesus out of me every Sunday night!"

LAST NIGHT WAS UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE! There, I said it. "The Scene" which it will henceforth be called was like a kick in the nads. It hurt to look at. So if people think that the show still blows, that's on them. This show rocks. And rocks hard.

Storm's Coming.

Angel For Life!

Reports are coming in that Mike Trout, the best player in MLB is close to an agreement with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on a 12 year, $430MM extension of his current contract. That's a slice of heaven right there!

Monday Post

It's the day after St. Paddy's Day. Happy to report the Guinness was tasty and plentiful. No hangover so that's a bonus. Luck of the Irish I say.

MLB is in Japan to open the season a week before the rest of the teams. A's and Mariners in the jackpot this time. So there will be some MLB games on at 5:35AM on Wednesday & Thursday this week. I really don't get why MLB thinks they needs to play games in other countries. Japan is one thing, I guess...they play baseball there. But in late June, the NY Yankees and Boston Red Sox travel to London (London!?) to play baseball games that count. Last time I checked, the game of baseball is not exactly a big one in Great Britain. So I guess MLB wants to sell caps. No other explanation.

In local baseball news, HS scrimmages started over the weekend. YSSS' team played Friday afternoon (beautiful 70 degree weather) and play another today. Good to get out there after last year's terrible weather and start of season.

OUT.

Sorry Midwest

So the Bomb Cyclone is hitting the middle of the good old U-S-A. Winter Storm Ulmer:
At a Glance

  • Ulmer is intensifying in the Plains where it will produce heavy snow and high winds into Thursday.
  • Blizzard warnings have been issued from northeast Colorado to North Dakota and northwest Minnesota.
  • Travel conditions will be nearly impossible due to the combination of heavy snow and high winds.
  • The Denver metro area is seeing blizzard conditions.
  • Widespread high winds will also affect locations not expected to see snow.
  • Ulmer has already set a preliminary low-pressure record in Pueblo, Colorado.
  • So while I feel for you, I'm also not disappointed that the EAST COAST is in the CLEAR!!! We got baseball season upon us!!!

    YSSS is in his HS Senior Year so I'll drop some news on that shortly.
