66 Views!

I took a look at how many times that this thing had been viewed and it says 66!!! That's tremendous. I'm finding out every day that there are new people reading my random thoughts about life and debaucherous behavior! That's tremendous (just for you MikeTee)!!! Thanks for reading my rants and broads blog. I really appreciate the love.

On to something brainless. I was thinking about the Yankees last night while I watched them almost lose yet again, to the Devil Rays, my hometown team. The only #1 draft pick since 1992 that is on the Yankees major league roster is Derek Jeter. That blows my mind. I don't remember half of the names with the exception of Eric Duncan, for obvious reasons, but Jeter is the only 1st round pick still with the team. What a player he is though. Wow! I hear almost every time that I watch the Yanks that the best SS in the league is playing 3rd for the Yankees. I don't know if that's necessarily true anymore. A-Rod is legit. He's probably the best all-around player in the league, bar none, but I think Jeter brings more incidentals to the Yanks with his hustle and glove and leadership. There's a reason he's the first Yankee captain since Mattingly.

More brainless banter. I am not a movie guy. I think most people know this about me, but I was thinking more and more about it. You get to do that when you drive a lot and travel even more. I love comedies, and along with the theme of this post, brainless movies. LOVE THEM! Will Ferrel is the greatest. Adam Sandler movies of the 90's, BRILLIANT! Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Chris Tucker, you name the brainless-never-going-to-win-an-award comedies, and I love them! I used to get made fun of if I liked a movie that didn't receive critical acclaim. Why? Who cares if I don't like psychological thrillers or depressing dramas or story-book fantasies? I have my own fantasies and it has nothing to do with a storybook. (Sorry Mom, had to throw that one in there.) People always say to me, "You're the actor, why don't you know who won the 1993 Oscar for Best Supporting Actress?" I don't care! Yes, I am an actor and want to pursue my dream someday, but I'd rather be the Chris Farley minus the drugs, the Will Ferrell minus the hair, the Adam Sandler minus the yarmulke. I never thought a quote I used in my high school yearbook would come to fruition ten years later(get on the reunion AYB!), but "I'd rather be funny," said by Lesley Nielsen of Naked Gun fame is right on when it comes to me and my movies.

Speaking of mom, Sue Cregan had a birthday yesterday and I did call her early yesterday morning, but I thought I would post it on the blog as well. Happy Birthday Mom!!! She turned 30 yesterday. I know she doesn't like me saying her age, but this was a big one, so Happy 30th mom!!!
