Barry, Bourne and Bubble Gum

Well... It's been awhile and here it goes. First things first is I just have to say that my weekend was awesome. I went home and got to hang out with my family and of course I spent a lot of time with Hillary. It was great to see her and spend some real quality time together. Love ya Hill.

My title suggests I will talk about three items of business and try to keep them somewhat short talks.

Barry Bonds is does not deserve to break the Home Run Record. This quick venting session has nothing to do with steroids, although I do have a lot to say on that topic. Just briefly I would like to examine why Barry Bonds is not worthy of this title of Home Run champ. With one day to go in All-Star voting Barry is far behind the leaders in voting but the city of San Francisco and Giants fans unite and manage to get him on the National League starting roster. This was quite a feat and as Rome Burning said this was his one chance to give the few people who still support them a thank you and maybe even redeem his name by participating and putting on a good show no doubt by putting multiple home runs into the bay. But instead he chooses to absolutely in my mind give the middle finger to the people of S.F. and all baseball fans in general by refusing to participate in the Home Run Derby. I will stop because this post is already too long and I still have two more topics to go.

The Bourne Ultimatum will be the best movie of the summer. Yes I said it, I made a very bold statement. This will be short because in the month to come before August 3rd which is when this conclusion to an amazing trilogy makes its way to theaters. I will quickly say if you are looking for a great series of books to read then you have found them in Robert Ludlams four books. Although I must warn you before reading them, the plotline has absolutely nothing to do with the movies, there only common theme is a man named Jason Bourne and the fact that he is a killing machine with amnesia.

And now to the gum, I have recently found a new favorite gum and just had to share it with everyone I could. Not only is this gum called Flare and have an awesome box, but it is packed with some of the best cinnamon flavor that I have ever experienced. But if you do not like cinnamon flavored gum than this line of chewing gum has other flavors such as Cobalt or Rain. Well I must go now but go to your nearest Target to get your three pack.
