A Decent Meal for $5

Many of you who know me, know that I have been employed at a certain restaraunt for 3+ years. It's had its ups and downs but the best part of being employed there was the 50% off discount I received whenever I came in to eat. For those of you who accompanied to my place of employment enjoyed a decent meal for the price of only $5. We were all able to sit at a table and have hours of entertaining conversation. At the same time we were able to stuff ourselves with fatty foods, and loads of unnecessary carbohydrates. I am happy for all of you who were able to enjoy these various feasts. Unfortunately I have ended my reign over that place and I am going to move on to better things. That place trapped me inside this comfort bubble which was nearly impossible to get out of. Its a very shitty place to work at and I am glad I have another job that enables me to earn funds to buy random shit.

I only have two weeks left at this restaraunt and I could not be happier. I know most of you who are reading this are pissed off and aggravated with me but I am not going to suffer so you guys can eat. Mark and Ray are still there and you still have them. I personally would like to thank drew for leaving because he helped me realize it was possible to get out of that hell hole. When I informed people of my quitting, they were all very upset with me; and to you guys I say Fuck you bitches...

Enjoy the cheap food while it lasts cause I am ending this chapter of my life and I plan on ripping out those pages, burning them, and forgetting they ever existed. Thank you.

Top 5 Favorite Cereals

On a different note from football, I would like to talk about one of the most important aspects of my life; cereal. Here is to a snack/meal that can be eaten at any time of the day. Whether you eat it dry or with milk, cereal is a great food that has been around for a very long time. Here are my top 5 favorite cereals of all time. They cannot be a cereal that has been newly introduced and it must have been around for at least 10 years.

5) Crispix is the healthier cereal of the bunch. The great thing about Crispix is it never gets soggy in your bowl. It has a distinct taste for a corn cereal and doesn't taste bland like a cereal such as corn flakes. Crispix is delicious, healthy and provides a nice change to all the sugary cereals out in our supermarket shelves.

4) Apple Jacks the cereal that does not taste like apples, but "we eat what we like". These orange colored o's are a nice sweet cereal that is different from many cereals out there. I cannot describe the taste because frankly I have no idea what they taste like. I feel that it is magical goodness that makes my mouth water at the sight of that bright green box. Other cereals that are O shaped; fruit loops, Oreo o's, and cherrio's do not compare to this apple cinnamon cereal.

3) cocoa pebbles the greatest chocolate cereal of all time. Cocoa Krispies come in a close second compared to cocoa pebbles but the nice shape and true chocolate flavor bring it straight to the top. One thing I can definatly say is that cocoa puffs do not compare what so ever. Recently I purchased a box of cocoa puffs and on the box said "now more chocolate taste" bull fucking shit. Cocoa puffs used to be decent but now they taste life old shit chocolate balls. The best comparison I can give is cocoa puffs taste like chocolate covered Kix but shittier. The nice chocolate taste of cocoa pebbles bring a nice full chocolate taste and leave a nice bowl of chocolate milk afterwards. I personally think this is the best chocolate cereal in the world.

2) Cinnamon Toast Crunch a favorite cereal to many people across the world. Who can resist cinnamon and sugar taste in every bite, there is so much cinnamon and sugar in this cereal that when you reach into the box and you grab a handful your hand is covered in sugary goodness. Cinnamon toast crunch is so good theres not even any competition out there to rival those sweet little squares.

1) Kix, kid tested mother approved. These delicious little puffs of corn cereal are simple yet extraordinary how in the world do you get the perfect amount of sweetness on these tiny little balls. This can be seen as one of the healthier cereals and are great for young children. Kix are delicious and can be eaten as a snack or as a light and delicious meal. These perfectly sweetened puffs are by far the best cereal ever made and thus topping my list of the best cereals ever made.

Top 5 Qb's Under 25

Now that the season has ended, it is time to look into the future of the current NFL franchises. Successful franchises have a franchise quarterback that they can rely on, for instance Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Tony Romo. Without these Quarterbacks at the helm, these teams would fall and crumble. With the NFL draft about 2 months away, there are many teams that have a elite college QB on their radar. A team in need of a Quarterback is looking toward the future and will build their team around this drafted quarterback. Many teams are already in this process and these QB's are the QB's of the future. These are my top QB's under the age of 25 and who I feel will the future star QB's of the NFL. All these QB's have the tools to be successful and they are ready to unleash their wrath on the rest of the league in the 08-09 season.

Jay Cutler


At age 24, Cutler calls the cadence for the Denver Broncos, and is set up to succeed because of an experienced NFL coach in Mike Shanahan. Shanahan is known for his play calling and his ability to always have a good ground game. A good running game is a quarterbacks best friend and will keep defenses honest. Cutler finished last year with 20 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 63.6% completion percentage. Cutler has a big arm and the accuracy to go along with it. Cutler is only going to get better, and with the emergence of Brandon Marshall, Cutler now has his go to guy in the passing game. Cutler also plays in the AFC West that now provides weak competition and will be able to rack up some easy wins against the Chiefs and the Raiders.

Derek Anderson


Weighing in at 230 pounds and with a height of 6'6" Anderson has the prototype QB body. He has the size and strength to succeed. His cannon arm enables him to make all the deep throws to his weapons in the passing game. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Braylon Edwards are downfield threats that are young and provide a foundation to the Browns passing game. Anderson showed in his first year starting that he is a playmaker and a young QB that can get the job done. Last year Anderson threw for 29 touchdowns and 19 TD's, his completion percentage was a low 56.5% but can only get better with experience. Anderson may not be the future QB of the Browns in the next couple of years but he will definately be the star of any franchise he goes to.

Vince Young


At age 24, and coming in at 6'5" and 233 pounds Vince Young is considered a beast compared to the other Quarterbacks in the league. Young possesses the ability to make throws on the run and run the ball whenever he chooses. His big playmaking ability makes up for his inaccurate throws and his inability to read defenses quickly. Vince Young knows how to win even though his numbers are horrible. Young is a playmaker and his team will thrive with his success or die with his failure. There are no playmakers on the Titans and Young has the ability to move the ball himself. Since he finished his first whole season as a starter Young is able to use his experience, and develope into a superstar QB.

Brady Quinn


He is the future of the Browns, drafted 22nd out of Notre Dame, Brady Quinn just finished his first year in the NFL. He has no starting experience but he has played in a pro style offense under former New England Patriots offensive cordinator Charlie Weis. Quinn showed his incredible accuracy in his final year in Notre Dame and is one of the brighter young quarterbacks in the league. He makes smart decisions and is being brought along in the NFL like a young QB should be. He is getting his reps in practice and is on the bench observing live NFL games. He will be brought in with full knowledge of the offense and will be put in when the Browns know he is ready. The only knock on Quinn is his arm strength but in the preseason he showed he is able to put enough zip on the ball to hit those deep routes. In a few years we will see Quinn emerge as one of the top 7 Qb's in the league.

Matt Leinart


The sexiest Qb of the bunch Matt Leinart has the brain, accuracy, and the arm for the NFL. Leinart's mentor is Superbowl MVP and All Pro Kurt Warner. He has had his time to sit on the bench and learn the ways of the NFL. While Leinart had to learn two new offenses in 2 years, he showed his struggles last year before getting injured. Next season Leinart is coming in as the starter and with full knowledge of Ken Whisenhunt's offense. Leinart has all the tools to succeed he has two outstanding weapons on the outside with Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald. Leinart also has a pass catching runningback in Edgerrin James, and 2nd year TE Leonard Pope has shown he can make a difference in the passing game. Leinart played a majority in 2006 and has some experience under his belt. Leinart also shined at USC and has a national championship and a Heisman trophy to prove it. #7 will be the next great QB and he will turn around a Cardinals franchise that has been losing for years.

Season in Review

Since the Pro Bowl ended, it is officially the end of the 2007-2008 NFL season. I would say it was one of the most interesting seasons in the past few years. There were many storylines that impacted the league this year, and it all ended with the New York Giants winning the Super Bowl.

So here were go


Spygate


One of the most interesting headlines of this past NFL season was the New England Patriots Spygate scandal. Bill Belichick admitted to an illegal taping of the New York Jets Defensive signals and used it to their advantage against the Jets in their Week 2 game of the season. After the incident went public Belicheck took full responsibility for his actions and it cost them a hefty fine along with the loss of their first round pick. While it is cheating and the Patriots did have an advantage, the players still need to go out and make plays. I mean if the Raiders were accused of a spygate scandal yet went 0-16 no one would give a shit. Anyways the Patriots might be in so more trouble because their is allegations against the Patriots taping the Rams final walkthrough before the Superbowl. If it is true Bill Belichick will get suspended for a year and fans of the NFL will jump for joy.

Brett Favre



38 year old Brett Favre led the Green Bay Packers to a 13-3 record and took them to the NFC Championship against the New York Giants. Favre who is the current leader for career interceptions (288) elevated his game to a Pro Bowl level. While talks of retirement has surrounded Favre every off season, it seems like Favre is ready to try one more time to hold up the Lombardi trophy. For being one of the oldest players in the NFL he is still one of the best. I have a new found respect for Favre and I really enjoy watching him play. The only thing that makes him gay is that Judd likes him.


The Emergence of Adrian Peterson



For all you noobs out there, Purple Jesus came from Oklahoma University and tore it up while he was at Oklahoma. Despite his injuries in college, Peterson showed he is tough enough to play in the NFL. Peterson showed flashes of excellence during the season and is the current NFL offensive rookie of the year and the AP rookie of the year. Purple Jesus also hold the record for rushing yards in a single season game at 296 and did this against a strong San Diego defense. This young back shows a lot of promise and will most likely have an outstanding NFL career.

Eli Manning



Eli Manning won a super bowl? This is the first overall pick of the 2004 season, and whined and complained about being on a busted San Diego team. After bitching and crying Eli got his wish and was traded to the New York Giants for a first round draft pick, 3rd round pick, 5th round pick and 4th overall pick Philip Rivers. Up until a few months ago it looked like the Chargers made the move of the century, in that trade the Chargers drafted Nate Kaeding and Shawne Merriman and the New Giants had bust interception throwing, no emotion, bitch ass Eli Manning. As of 2 weeks ago, the Giants have now gained the lead in that trade. The Giants won a super bowl and Eli Manning was named Super Bowl MVP. In the last 7 games of the season Eli Manning looked like everything he was suppose to be after being drafted out of Ole Miss. You Charger fans can argue all you want about how we have better players and how Rivers is better and it may be true, but Eli is the one with the championship. I know you Charger fans are pulling out your hair and punching yourself in the stomach now but this time next year I will be writing about how Philip Rivers overcame an ACL tear and led the Chargers to 19-0 record.

2004 1 round draft class.
Ben Roethlisberger - A dismantled face from a motocycle accident, and one super bowl ring.
J.P Losman - A below .500 record and lost his starting job.
Philip Rivers - A torn ACL and the emotions of a child.
Eli Manning - A crying baby who is now a Superbowl MVP.


Damn what a season...too bad its over, but if you are like me and love the NFL draft and love to research for months about future prospects then get excited because it is less than 3 months away. Stay tuned for my take on the future players of the NFL.

School

Theres nothing worse than waking up early in the morning to go to school. I mean you have to drag your ass out of bed, brush your teeth, wash your face, and either walk far to get to class, or drive far and then walk to class. No one sleeps enough or goes to sleep early anymore so we all know its a pain in the ass. The past 3 years of college I have been doing the same routine every single day. What sucks is I go through this hassle to get to class, and when I'm there I dont even pay attention. I think about other things especially how boring the class is and how much time is left in my class. I rarely take notes and the only time I pay attention is the day before the test. Last semester I got by with 2 spiral notebooks that I used to scribble in, 1 pen, and a pencil. The first week of class I didn't even have a pen, I had to borrow one. It's sad that I can pull in a 3.0 with this nonsense behavior. School is very overrated and what makes me mad is that it is so important. It's ridiculous that no one pays attention and we pull all nighters to remember information until we take a test and when its over we forget it all. College is only good for testing your short term memory and to see what kind of crazy antics you can come up with to put off studying. I know I am complaining a lot about this subject but when school is over and I have a good job, this nonsense will be worth it. I know school is pointless but hey if I am making 6 figures cause of it then who the fuck cares how ridiculous school is.

I know I rambled here sorry.

The worst player on the Patriots.

54 Solo tackes, 1 interception, 2 sacks, 7 Passes defensed and a forced fumble. For being a safety on a top 5 ranked defense, you sure do a shitty job. You're a damn safety who is used as a linebacker in passing situations and your numbers still suck. You have been accused of using HGH and you are one of the most washed up players in the NFL. You are the dirtiest player in the NFL and the only reason why you make a few plays ever so often is because: 1. You get lucky 2. You play dirty 3. You can't even play dirty correctly so you just happen to make some shitty ass ankle tackle. You think you are some emotional leader on defense but the only reason why people perceive you that way is because whenever an opposing team scores, we see you get juked out and your laying on the ground crying cause you know you just embarassed yourself in front of the whole country. This weekend your old frail man's body will show, and the world is going to see LaDanian Tomlinson break your ankles just like he did to you in practice while you were in San Diego. I hope you shit yourself when you see LT coming....

Dinner Big Board

Throughout winter break, I have gone out to eat various times, at various places. I have gone with many of my friends and the groups I have been with range in quantity and quality. As winter break comes to an end, I would like to list my six man group of who would provide the best company going out to eat at a restaurant. I bet your thinking "I hope I made this list" I'm sorry though I have very high standards and you must bring something to the table in order to make this group. By the way: People who are not cheap get an extra bump because they are willing to tip to the standard that I provide. This list is a big board so I will update this every once in a while, and you may move up or down in the standings. Please do not be upset, all of you are my friends, this is just personal preference.

Coming in at the top of the Big Board:

1. Nazer


Nazer starts off the big board because he is a top tier eater. He eats like a machine with a expandable stomach. Both Nazer and I have about the same exact tastes in food, and he also introduces me to new foods I know I would like. Another reason for Nazer topping the list is that he is always down to throw a little extra money on food and on tipping, I have noticed from personal experience he never holds back when it comes to eating, Nazer is always down to splurge on something good. When it comes to discussion he hates the same people I hate and he also talks some good shit about people. Plus he only likes white girls. Finally, he is always down to chill after a nice dinner.


2. Lance


Lance comes in at #2 but this was a tough choice. Lance's availability keeps him at #2. I always know when he is down in San Diego and when he is in San Diego 95% of the time he is down to eat. My problems with Lance is that he always eats before he goes out to eat because he cannot control himself. If I catch him at the right time, he will spend big and eat hearty. At my table of 7 he is a definite lock to be there. His discussion topics are endless and it is always a humor to watch him eat because he will always have food on his face. It is also fun to talk shit to him about how Nazer and Tony can out eat him, and then he eats himself to sleep. Other knocks on Lance: always wants fast food or Alvaro's, and if he doesn't get his way he will stay home. But he is always down to try new places. Though there are quite a bit of negatives with Lance I can guarantee he will always be ranked on this big board.

3. Drew


Drew comes in at #3 not because of his eating skills but because of the quality conversation he brings to the table. Drews availability is not high but when he is there his presence is known. One of Drew's top dinner qualities is that he is generous and is willing to cover for peoples asses when it comes to paying for the meal and making sure the tip is good. Another great quality Drew has for my top dinner table big board is his story telling skills. For some odd reason he remembers specific details of all the funny stories. Drew is down to eat anywhere when available but it is impossible to get this guy to go out sometimes. He usually already ate or is going to eat. Drew does not eat much but when he does, he eats fast and he looks like a starving child scarfing down food. My negative on Drew, if a controversial topic comes up, he becomes to passionate about it. This guy loves fantasy football and he goes to my school and I work with him so the discussion is endless so he will always be towards the top of the big board.

4. Alexand


Alexand comes in at number 4, because 75% of the time he is down to eat. He does not like seafood or sushi so that makes things difficult. Also when it comes to food, he doesn't eat that much unless its chicken, burgers or steak. But if you give him a fork and some hunk of meat he can eat for hours. I don't know why but this guy loves meat. At the dinner table I can always talk to this guy about various topics, out of everyone listed so far I have known Alexand the longest. We played football together, he is the only close friend I have that keeps up with college football. When it comes to interesting football notes Alexand is my go to guy. Anything football or madden related he is always the best person to talk to. Unlike Nazer, and Lance, Alexand is not always down to chill after eating. He is busy a lot and he doesn't drink so when we drink he might get bored. He also loves call of duty, and meat.

5. Tony

I can't find a picture of this mothafucker anywhere.

Tony is a good dinner option because he is available to eat often. He is the human garbage disposal, he is our lead off batter, or pinch hitter, and our home run hitter. He eats like a monster and does not stop. I know I can count on him to finish the rest of my food, along with his super sized food and the rest of everyone else's food. Tony is always on time and usually is the first one there. When it comes to conversation, he has a lot of jokes, has many references to funny lines from shows/movies/skits/stories. Also it is always a blast to hear one of Tony's loud laughs that he cannot control. If you get him started on talking about cars or computers I lose interest, I have no idea what the fuck is going on so this is why he is lower on my list.

6. Anthony

I can't find a picture of this guy anywhere either.

Anthony is never on time, he does not eat much, he talks about cars, he loves Tom Brady and Baseball. That is some bullshit so I know your asking why does Anthony make the final cut?!? One word: Consistency. Anthony is always down to eat. He will return your phone call, and he is down to eat everywhere. No matter what or when I can pretty much guarantee he will be there. It also helps that he makes funny noises and he mannerisms are hilarious. Ant is a solid and consistent performer so he is making the final cut on my big board of my Table of 7 for dinner.


Please do not be to upset, there is time to move up on the list. You guys are all my friends but if I were to make a decision right now on who would be the best 6 other people to go eat dinner with it would be these 6 guys.

On the bubble:
7. David: He is always asleep, he eats at weird times and he loves McDonalds.
8. Floyd: He does not eat much and he is not always down, he sleeps in til 3:30pm
9. Judd: He is never down to eat, he doesn't eat much, and he always wants to be at the condo.
10. Mark: He is either working, playing PS3, or in valley center. He also gets no service in park village so he never gets any ones call.
