DAILY DOSE: "the boys play rock and roll, they know that they can't dance-- at least they know."
Hello, Hello, you're in a place called Vertigo.
You know friends, I really like that song. Maybe it's because there's an absolute lack of anything that resembles "rock n' roll" on the radio anymore, I dunno, but it's just really fun to drive to YOUR Song of the Day, "Vertigo" off of U2's new as yet-unreleased albumn. The song's just really a breath of fresh air from teenie-bopper pop like "JoJo" and "Ashlee Simpson," Nu-Metal like garbage (that's FRENCH for "crap") like "Disturbed" or "Staind," tiresomly overplayed hip hop like "Lean Back," redundant Eminem and and even psuedo-punky-rock like Sum 182, or whatever all those bands are called these days. Admittedly, I'm quite guilty of liking some of said "crap," but I'll prefer a good ol' fashioned rock song like "Vertigo," to quote Lt. Weinberg, "Any day of the week and twice on Sunday."
And for the record, is there a single WORSE name for a band in HISTORY than "Staind" Seriously, when I hear the word "staind" it's such an unpleasant experience that I have absolutely ZERO interest in listening to anything that they are offering musically. Feel free to comment on INCREDIBLY TERRIBLE BAND NAMES, Mainstream Division (ie: let's refrain from "there's this band on hippie radio called "defecating geesehunters" that is probably the worst name ever-- take your shots at bands we have all heard of).
Okay, so now I suppose I should get to talking about where I've been all your lives, correct? Well, tough luck, I'm not doing it in the DOSE. Stay tuned today for further updates outlining my recent Mellon Collie. Although, to be honest, I've not been sad, nor happy...just burned out. Needed a break, you know?
Which, I suppose, brings us to your Link of the Day, now? Here goes-- this one's not very imaginative, and most of you won't care. And by "most" i mean "all," however, as a Buccos fan, tried and true, there are only so many times you can be proud of the team. Since I went AWOL (and not in the good way) last week, this guy kind of flew under the RADAR, but deserves it's Props, nonetheless. Thus, I present to you the Pirates' first EVER Rookie of the Year (which is amazing, when you think about how many HOFers have worn the Black & Gold).

Not only is he CANADIAN, but he also strikes out at an alarming rate. In truth, I'm a Jason Bay fan, though he drives me incredibly insane. He's like a woman, in that regard.
Before I leave you in order to accomplish some work (and don't fret, I will probably return) I want to give a quick recap from last week, some Quick Hits of "things you really don't care about, but Adam wants to share."
1) I beat X-Men Legends last Sunday night. Yay for me! Just 35 Danger Room missions to complete, and I will have trashed one of my favourite games of...ever!
2) Wayne's World 2 was on yesterday, which took me back to some of the ONLY Highlights of Summer 2002... "I had to beat them to def wit their own shoes...." (Yes, Jeanie, I realize that was yet ANOTHER in a long line of inside jokes, deal with it. Props to Uranium.)
3) The Grampster and Banner will be featured writers this week, bringing you YOUR FRLG.
4) I will continue to refuse to comment on the Stillers. But I will tell you non-Burghers this-- it's a REALLY fun time to live in this city.
5) I have just finished reading two VERY non-superhero comics, "Egg Story" and "Y: the Last Man" (although 'Y' is an ongoing) and I will be writing an "I AM THE LAW" about them later this week. Though they're comics, i HIGHLY recommend you read the reviews, because these are decidedly NON-Superhero, and as actualy pieces of spandex-less literature, I think you non-geeks could actually get some level of enjoyment out of them. Remember, just because they have pretty pictures, doesn't mean it's all kids' stuff.
6) Finally, we went SPEEDING BY the 2,000 visitor mark last week, while I wasn't paying attention. However, we're still closing in on my 4,000 "page view" so here's the crux: WHOEVER is my 4,000 page view gets to RUN THE KINGDOM for a day, maybe even a weekend. I will go down the list of visitors until someone accepts the offer. Your run of the page will be subject to basically two very simple to follow rules, which I will explain to you should you win, but we'll get to that later. Everyone-- thanks for continuing to visit, and thanks for putting up with my periodic bouts of non-creativity.
until next time, i remain,

PS: how do we feel about the new look, here? should I switch back? the Blogger templates are decidedly boring.. if anyone knows HTML, and wants to make a template, live large, kiddies.
