Grey's on a roll..
Bill Plaschke writes in the LOS ANGELES TIMES a thoughtful piece on the contuined hate of No. 8, regarding the backlash against Kobe Bryant's 81. Pleading for appreciation of great talent and acceptance of the dismissal of that Colorado lawsuit, Plaschke shoots back at players like the Miami Heat's Antoine Walker, who told reporters, "If somebody gets 81 on me, I'm going to clothesline him." Plaschke responds, "That, of course, will never happen, because in order to clothesline somebody, Walker must first guard somebody." Wasn't it just a couple years ago that Kobe was radioactive? A punch line? And wasn't it just the past year that he was selfish? A ball-hogging team killer?
What a difference "81" makes.

News and Views by grey...
Time to do some news updates:lets start with important stuff, that I will belittle and make seem unimportant...
DEFINE IRONY: the U.S. tell people in the middle east they should hold democratic elections. The People in the middle east hold a democratic election, and the U.S. tells them they voted for the wrong people, becasue the people they voted for wont renouce violence, so then the losers ( alegedly the non-violent ones ) go burning cars, and shooting in the streets...
"Perhaps the clearest example of ‘democracy’ in action is an old-fashioned lynch mob. Everyone cries ‘Hang him!’ and the majority has its way."

the verizon ordeal...
The world needs more people like us and fewer like them.Well,... I originaly placed an order for Verizon highspeed DSL back on December 10th. After calling about 3 times to ask questions about my order, and to verify that everything was okay with it, January 11th came, and I was supposed to get DSL installed.
it was not.
to make a long story short:
On January 13th I called Verizon back, and they told me my internet service order had been cancelled because DSL was not available in my area... After about 5 more calls, and after talking to more than 40 different people at verizon for more than 5 hours, I was able to get an order set up for fiber optic service, and to the best of my knowledge it is being installed now.
Here is what this whole process taught me
the process, and system at Verizon has it's metaphorical head, stuck up its ass.. And this can not be accepted... The only way I was able to get anything done was by tieing up as many people on the phone for as long as I possibly could, until I got what I wanted.
this is the best way to acheive this:
1. ask to speak with a supervisor, tell that supervisor you are sick of being transfered from person to person, and if they think you should talk to someone else, you want them to conference that person in, not transfer you to them. BE INSISTANT UPON THIS!!! tell them you want them on the line until your problem is solved, tell them it is NOT okay to transfer your call to someone else.
2. If they say they will call you back, tell them the time at which you want them to call you back at... say something like "I expect a status update, by X o'clock... I dont care if it is just to tell me that you are still working on my problem, I want a status update by then or I will call back"
3. Keep track of the peoples you talk to, when you talked to them, and where they are located. ( this comes in handy when writing your complaint letter )
out of all of these steps the first one is the most important. ALmost all customer call centers are "graded" by the average call length, and customer wait time... By keeping as many people as possible on the phone for as long as possible, you start to make them look really bad to their superiors, and they know this, so after about an hour on the phone in a conference call with 4 people, they will be stepping over each other pointing fingers, and trying to get your problem resolved.
so... lets see if I get a fiber connection today...

5 things that sucked about 2005
Well,... January of 2006 is comming to an end and I would like to take this opportunity to list 5 things that sucked about 2005...#1. Hurricane Katrina: Hurricane Katrina sucked big time yo... aside from showing where our government is lacking, and illustrating the great racial divide that still exsists in america, it also showed the rest of the world what a bunch of stupid babies we are... I mean, you tell people a hurricane is comming days before it arrives, you know your city is below sea level, and there is a big ufckin lake next door, and you still complain about the government not hurring to help your stupid ass when water wipes away your home, when 90% of the rest of the world would have been told "tough sh!t, you shouldn't have lived there" by their governments... if that wasn't enough, this guy stole all my beer...
#2. Prussian Blue - Finally, a racist teenage singing group that’s too cute to hate! Their strategy to have non-whites who listen to their music end their misery by committing suicide might actually work!
#3. Tupacs Death - I know what you're thinking, 2pac died in 1996... well, to people who love tupac, that doesn't make it suck any less...
#4. Adult Harry Potter Fans - Harry Potter is a fine series to read... when you’re twelve years old! Actually I just put this here to see how much hate mail I’ll get from stupid people who just skim read the list. I actually enjoy reading the books and wish J.K. Rowling was my Sugar Mommy.
and
#5. I forgot number 5... it must have really sucked...

BRILLIANT!
FYI: I hate Verizon... just thought you should know.Matt update: This weekend I went to a birthday party for a one year old, and there is few things as entertaining as watching a one year old child discovering cake for the first time... I can only imagine the thought going through his head must be something like this...
Hey this is kinda soft, and sticky, I'm gonna poke it it for a while...
Man, this stuff tastes pretty good,
uh oh moms watching, she never lets me have good stuff to eat, she prolly hid some mashed peas in here.
HOLY UFCKING SHIT, this stuff tastes awesome, I need to figure out a way to get more in my mouth, this hand thing just isn't working...
OMG!, I have two fucking hands!!! BOO YAH!
man, my face itches...
it's one of those things you have to experience for your self, but trust me, it's freaking great...
I am also taking suggestiong on what to name my hamster.

The Ultimate Fight Night...
WOW... gotta first give props to my boy Bang! How long was that fight... like 5 seconds?
Not only that but they also announced the return of a legend... Royce Gracie!!! Who would have ever thought that Royce would be back in the octagon again... other than me telling everyone yesterday before it happened. Another cool thing was that I was over at my instructors house watching the Ultimate Fight Night, and his girlfriend/fiancé is Royce's niece. Rose is pretty funny, n' a good person, and is always full of funny stories about her family. Just don't mess with them... they're all black belts.
The rest of the card was pretty good... it was the night of the one rounders. I thought that Fickett was gonna win, but he got caught... Drew you should have trained at Javi's instead of over at Eddie Bravo's. It was good to see Bonner win with an old-school kimura... and the calling out of Vitor and Mario at the end... you can totally see that he's a Carlson Gracie student. I didn't get to see the Silva vs Silvia match-up, but I heard is was just an ok decision for Tim.
Let's hope that we can maybe get this one at the Staples Center over here in LA since California is legit now to have MMA fights. Here's a letter from the Athletic Comission...
Dear Mixed Martial Arts Community:
It is with great enthusiasm that I am proud to announce that sanctioned Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competitions are coming to California! This is an exciting moment for MMA. It is also a challenging one for the California State Athletic Commission. The CSAC is the most active commission in the United States. Our commission places a great emphasis on the health and safety of the athletes. This concern is seconded by our commitment to our consumers. If you are planning on presenting or participating in an MMA event in our State please be prepared to strictly follow our rules. I look forward to seeing you at the events.
Sincerely,
Armando Garcia Executive Officer California State Athletic Commission

Is it possible to live off of Mexican beer alone? I eat like maybe... and I really do say maybe... one meal a day. Sometimes the meal is only like a bag of jalapino chips or a power bar. I have seriously consumed way tooo much beer... uuugghhhhh. I'll be back in the states drinking Heinekens with Grey at this time tomorrow.Crap... I gotta go back to work on Wed.
See you guys all when I get back... I'm already thinking about planning another trip... who knows where I'll go next.

ahh, so you got jokes...
Joke of the day: A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.” The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.” ~grey out
