"My Links", it says over there to the right. "About My Journal", it says about an inch and a half above that.

I hate that. I hate that damned 'my', and a I can't figure out how to get rid of it!

It doesn't even make sense...it's only 'my links' when I'm the one looking at it! And I don't need to be told they're mine...I already fucking know!

Or maybe that should be 'your links'? Because the site is addressing me. Then wait....maybe 'my links' is right...because it's like me addressing the reader; "Hi, I'm Snowblind and these are my links."

Feh! The 'my' is still superfluous and should be destroyed! Who the hell elses links would be there? Nobody's, that's who! It should just say 'Links'. End of story.

I'll figure out how to get rid of it, eventually...

Yeah, I'm putting scare quotes around the exclamation point in 'Smackdown!', because there is nothing exclamating about that show. I tried watching some of it last night and was bored out of my fucking skull.

Mexicools? Ugh. If they had half a brain, they'd position these three as a Mexican Hart Foundation...heels to Americans, but faces to Mexicans. Didn't Juvi used to rip on the Rock all the time in WCW? They should build up to a Rock/Juvi confrontation.

Teddy Long sure knows how to suck the suspense out of an announcement. For both Christian and Batista, he announced their names BEFORE their music hit. Dude, that's what they have the fucking music for. I swear, the man has no sense of drama.

And Michael Cole has got to go. Far, far away. His calls are bland, repetitive, and shallow. How long has he been announcing now...five years? Maybe longer. It's clear he's not getting any better. It's amazing they've stuck with him this long.

I've updated the crush gallery: Indian actress Aishwarya Rai, Rachael Harris from the Daily Show and I Love the x0's, and Kristen Davis from Sex in the City.

Kristen Davis kinda snuck up on me...I never really liked her until I saw a Sex in the City commercial the other day. Her three co-stars were kinda busted...I blame them for clouding my judgement.

If anybody happens to have better pictures for Rai or Harris (or anybody else in the gallery, for that matter) don't hesitate to send 'em through. They'd be greatly appreciated.

Looks like I was wrong about Matsui...it was the knee, not Randolph. And now he's headed to the DL. Kaz can't seem to catch a break.

And what was that bullshit on RAW last night? Teasing a Matt Hardy run-in during the Edge/Lita wedding...who does that help? It's a low blow on Hardy, makes Kane an afterthought in his own angle, and a thumb in the eye of the fans who thought for a brief second that McMahon might actually give them what they wanted.

Unless that was the beginning of a legit Matt Hardy comeback, it was just McMahon fucking with the fans to prove he could. God, I hope TNA gets a national deal...

Did the Mets forget Kaz Matsui when they left Oakland for Seattle? Matsui got spiked by Jason Kendall turning a double play Thursday night, but he seemed pretty confident the next day he'd be in the line-up against the Mariners. Well that series just ended and he never came off the bench. Was he hurt worse than originally thought?

That game in Oakland was one of his best for the season, even if he did only go 1 for 4. On top of hanging in to get the game ending double play, he made two fantastic plays a few innings earlier. He looked much more confident than usual, and he was quoted as looking forward to playing against Suzuki and the Mariners.

So how banged up is he? When Kaz hurt his neck during the Yankees series, miscommunication between Matsui and Randolph led to Matsui sitting on the bench even after he was ready to play...is that happening again here? Or did Randolph simply bench him in favor of Woodward and Anderson?

If it's the knee, then that's just another bad break (just like the neck injury after his good series against the Reds). But if Randolph decided to sit him on the bench after the game he had on Thursday, especially knowing the symbolic importance of playing against Ichiro, then that's inexcusable.

I didn't see much baseball this weekend, so maybe they mentioned what Matsui's status was on-air. But evidence of Randolph's inability to manage is mounting, and benching Kaz this weekend fits into that overall pattern.

Always seemed like a strange choice of name for a brand of condoms.

What do most people think when they think 'Trojan'? The horse.

And what's the story of the Trojan horse? The Greeks advanced on Troy, but were rebuffed. So they changed their tune, said they'd play nice, and got into the horse. But as soon as the Trojans let the horse through the gate, it busted open and spewed Greeks all over the city.

Not the best image for a prophylactic.

I crush pretty easily, both for real-life girls and for famous ones. I put up a new gallery listing some famous girls who've done that to me.

It was damn near impossible to find good shots of some of these girls. I'm satisfied, for now, with the top six, but hopefully I'll come accross some better images for the others soon.

Note to the MLB; if I want to listen to play-by-play highlights of recent games, I will find a link and fucking click on it. Don't play it for me just because I went to the Mets website to see what channel the game is on. Thanks.

I went looking around for baseball torrents and I couldn't find any. I didn't even find any MLB, let alone what I was really looking for: some Seibu Lions games from three or four years ago.

I'm a big Mets fan, and I was hoping to look at the way Kaz Matsui was playing during his big years back in Japan and compare it to the way he's been since hitting the States.

I knew it was a longshot to find any Japanese games, but I thought I'd see more MLB. I saw some NFL games from last season, some recent NASCAR (all unseeded) and the NBA playoff games, but no NHL or MLB. I wonder at what point we'll start seeing more old games available for download? ESPN Classics seems to do pretty well, so there's definitely some demand. I think they edit most of what they show down to the highlights, though.

An average MLB season is probably about 500 hours, so I guess that's kind of a lot. Not just to upload...I'm sure a lot of people might be looking for just one game, or even one play of one game. Would you seed each game individually, pack it all together, or both?. Plus, there's no readily available source material to rip it from, unless you've already got a season full of games on tape. Still, sports fans are crazy, and there are definitley some out there who tape every game, every season. Hopefully, one of them will take the initiative to make his collection available online (and, hopefully, that one will be a Mets fan...).
