Opening Day 2007

-
Yesterday was the day.

The day that every fan of the Detroit Tigers spend all winter dreaming of.

Opening Day.

A new day. A new season. A new chance at glory.

I know the game itself didn't go exactly the way I would've wanted it to. The Tigers got off to a rocky start in the first inning. But they battled back from a 3 run deficit and forced the Toronto Blue Jays into extra innings.

And then they fell apart once again in the tenth inning.

I was a little disappointed, I'll admit it. I think everyone in this town was. But there are still 161 more games left in the season. I take solice in the fact that the Tigers lost their home opener last you as well - and they went all the way to the World Series.

I wasn't one of the lucky ones who had a ticket to the game. I ended up watching it at Cliff Bell's with Nicole for the first few innings before meeting everyone on Dan's roof top deck in Harmonie Park.

I have to say it was interesting watching the end of the game and the post-game action from the roof of a 4-story building near Comerica Park. It's amazing - and amazingly weird - just how many guys will decide to urinate in the parking lots surrounding the ball park.

It was kind of fun, though, to taunt the offending urinators. A couple of people even took pictures of the guys as they were relieving themselves. (I didn't have a camera with me so I wasn't one of them.)

Anyway, the season has officially started. I never who have imagined a year ago that last year's season would have ended with the Tigers playing in the World Series.

And two days ago - I never would have guess that this season would have started with me watching drunk guys pee in a parking lot.

Oh, and kudos go out to Grady's Kitchen. He posted these two photos on his Flickr page so I can show everyone at least some of the cool things that happened yesterday.

Okay - before your comment (and a subsequent Google search) I had never heard of P-mates. Now, I can't get the concept out of my head for some reason.

Oh, and yes - I'm pretty sure they are only for women.

Love & laughter,

Hayley Williams Flashes Twitter

I have to confess, I had no idea who Hayley Williams  was prior to this morning nor did I have any idea who the band Paramore was. In fact, now that I do know, I'm not all that certain that I really care about Paramore. But I digress. The thing is, sometime last night, Hayley Williams' Twitter account was reportedly hacked. This resulted in a photo of Hayless Williams topless making its way onto the internet. Hayley Williams insists that it was a simple security breach. Personally, I can't help but feel that this smells too much like a publicity stunt. Either way, the photo is out there and a lot more people suddenly know who Hayley Williams is - coincidence or not. Oh, and yes - it has taken an enormous amount of restraint for me to not show the uncensored version of that photo.

I was surfing the web last night, looking for more news on Kristen Bell . I came across this post on TMZ.com about Kristen at the beach . They were critical of the photo of her to the left, but admired her in the one to the right. I don't care what the folks at TMZ say. Granny shades or not. Hair up or down. Kristen Bell looks darn hot.

33 Women in 2 Weeks?

James Hunt James Hunt  was the Formula One champion in back 1976 - a time long before I was paying any attention to either women or cars. According to a new biography by Tom Rubython , during a two week binge while in Tokyo that year, James Hunt and his friend Barry Sheene  each had sex with thirty three different flight attendants. And yes, that's thirty three women each. Over the course of fourteen days. An average of a little more than two stewardesses per day. James Hunt and Barry Sheene set the bar high (or low) for an outstanding summer vacation.
