when most people encounter an elevator like the one below, they would probably not enter and ride. after all, who wants to ride an elevator and get shown on one of those creepy YouTube videos where the guy goes nuts and poops all over himself? yuck. that is not sexy.
angry ninja is not like most people. I entered that elevator and rode it up to old pro in palo alto. was it risky? maybe. but I really didn’t feel like walking up two flights of stairs to watch football. plus, i already risked my life many a time at cal while riding in larrys elevator so this one was no biggie. is that weird? would you have got on?
weekend is right around the corner and ive got a busy one: bbq, engagement party, and sunday brunch. and at least two of these events, im going to be drinking beer, quite possibly coors light.
now beer an i have a long history - actually, i guess not that long since im only 26. i used to hate it. i couldnt stand the stuff and thought,
why the heck would anybody drink this? this tastes like somebodys foot after a intense session of basketball.
well, this definitely isnt the case anymore, and ive got coors light to thank for it. why coors light you ask? because its probably the beer that tastes the least like beer. it really is quite refreshing, mainly because it tastes more like water than beer. like some sort of wonderous water-beer.
now some of you may feel like im knocking coors light. this is not the case. i get beerzookas of it at old pro, and on a long hot summers day, while standing around a bbq, theres no other refreshment id rather have in my hands than some ice cold silver bullets.
how can you tell its ice-cold? the mountains on the label turn blue:
so to coors light, this t shirts for you. thank you for turning me onto the world of beer. code blue time is coors light time. heck, any time could be coors light time.
have a great weekend. and if youre going to drink coors light or any other fun beverages, do it responsibly. it might take a couple to get you started, so get a ride. or walk.
im in the process of upgrading this site, so please bear with me. if you happen to visit while changes are being made, and see a bunch of garbled text weird fonts/colors/layout, i apologize. i am not css/php ninja. i just figured out what <?php get_header(); ?> means, so yeah, wackiness will most likely ensue. i promise it wont end up looking like some myspace page that some kid just threw up all over.
why the change? the wordpress theme that i was using before did not support widgets, so i am currenttly upgrading to a new one. i plan on having everything up and running again by the weekend. once up, angryninja.com will be better stronger faster better-er. just like kanye.
enjoy the final 4. i will be at old pro. come hang out with me and the beerzookas.
my bay area sports teams,
i hold you in my heart,
but when i think about you.
it makes me want to barf.
warriors
last year a spent a magical two weeks at old pro drinking beerzookas watching the warriors go nuts in the playoffs. i really want to do that again this year. please make it happen.
giants
i hope we win 62 games this year. at least i still get to eat awesome garlic fries at att park on april 10th.
cal basketball
we missed the tourney, again - boo. then we fired our coach - yaay. then our best player made himself available for the draft - boo. we still dont have a coach - boo. thats 1 yay and 3 boos. not a very good yay to boo ratio. much like walking into suite 181 and realizing youre gonna be swordfighting.
49ers
wait nolan is still coaching? alex smith is still qb? do they still hate each other? at least dilfers gone. can mike martz help us put up some points in windy ass candlestick?
cal football
this is by far my most beloved sports team and we have been through a lot over the years. from the horrendous (holmoe, mack brown rose bowl snub of 04) to the stupendous (tedford, usc in 2003), so i have run the gamut of emotions with this team. we have just come off of a very traumatic season. the meltdown - going from #2 in the nation to the armed forces bowl. losing the big game. losing all our wide receivers. then losing our other rb. and dont get me started on those crazy tree sitters preventing us from building a real athletic center. and to top it all off, i find out that one of those tree sitters was none other than white mike from freshman year. what a horrible season. but not more horrible when we went 1-11 in 2001. if anyone can turn this ship around, its jeff tedford. maybe we can have him coach the mens basketball team as well.
so there you have it. all my teams in limbo. and although they currently make me want to barf, youll still be able to find me parked in front of my tv, old pro, or the boardwalk whenever they are on.
