Shenanigans!

2:14PM --
So here I am playing Fantasy Football again this year. Auto-draft, unfortunately. Nevertheless, I end up with Houshmandzadeh and "Ocho Cinco", very cool! I had a few players that sucked, so I swapped them and I picked up Chris Perry. Oops. Seriously, no joke, on the Bengals overload. I'm thinking, "Hey, these are good players", even though I was mad that I didn't get Peyton Manning =(

Mind you, I usually only have 2 of the 3 Bengals guys on my lineup. Its 1 point per 20 yards, 6 for TD.
Week One: Housh (2.20), Johnson (1.10) -- Perry (-0.90)
- Wow, ewwww. But its week 1. So I shrug it off.

Week Two: Housh (1.30), Johnson (1.85) -- Perry (8.80)
- Are you effin serious? LOL

Week Three: Housh (13.30) -- Johnson (1.45), Perry (10.65)
- Okay cool. I was just tired of Johnson, after week 2 I swapped him with a new WR I added - Chansi Stuckey... (While writing this, I remember that a Chansey is a Pokémon)

Week Four: I have Houshmandzadeh and Perry on the line who are doin pretty... uh... actually my whole team is crap right now... my usual TE also on a BYE week... I'm quite frustrated, but I'll live.

But yeah, it is now Week 4, I'm 2-1. I'm bitching since Week One that Carson Palmer is butt this season and then its official, he's not playing today.

Edit 9:34PM -
I had to post more in regards to the stinkin Bengals. Housh (2.50), Perry (-0.85) -- Johnson (7.40) [Stuckey 0.60] -- of the 6 TD passes Favre made, WHY NONE FO STUCKEY :( & the switch after reading that Larry Johnson [KC] (18.90) was going to be used less on the K.C. front... did more than Selvin Young [DEN] (2.45) WTF.

My comments, in RED

Bengals' Palmer out for game against Browns

Article By James Walker

(ESPN.com) -

The Cincinnati Bengals' quest to land their first win on Sunday just became more difficult.
- Oh of course! Just my luck!

Starting quarterback Carson Palmer was named the emergency No. 3 quarterback about 90 minutes before Cincinnati's home game against the Cleveland Browns with a sore right elbow.
- You just didn't want to suck again today. Srsly!

Palmer suffered the injury last week against the New York Giants. But he practiced this week through some discomfort until Friday, when he was held out of practice and put on the injury report as questionable.
- Well, I guess its my fault being a NY Giants fan and whatnot

Palmer had an MRI that shows no structural damage but the pain, inflammation and swelling persisted since his arm got pinned during contact in last week's game, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported.

Palmer is having one of his worst statistical years of his career. He's thrown for 514 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in three games. Palmer had told Bengals coach Marvin Lewis on Friday that he intended on playing.
- NO effin way, worse stats of your career??? /sarcasm off

It would have been a quote...

The subject line above would have been a quote if I could only find any quotable lyrics from M.I.A to grace my blog. But, just so you know, I'm not a "hater", I seriously just don't find her music appealing. As for her being a clothing designer and graphic artist, I'm curious as to who told her that her 80's look and Microsoft Paint made artwork stuff was 'cool'; crazy. I can't forget to mention her website [here].... eek (it reads "seizure material" all over it).

Anyway, the Pineapple Express previews were out on PS3 earlier in the summer and later aired on television before Theater release. Now that got my attention only because Seth Rogan looked like he was doing the robot and James Franco was doing the worm on concrete while "Paper Planes" faded in and out of the background music & of course the chime of "Thug Life!"

Nevertheless (and unfortunately) this article made me think of MIA... maybe this will send her back home, so she can fly like paper, get high like planes, or whatever weird shit she feels like doing.

& for all those Facebook folks with those bumper stickers that read "I liked M.I.A. before Pineapple Express", you're one of a few reasons why music has gotten so crappy! Thanks!

Sri Lanka government wants to grow its own marijuana

COLOMBO, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's government wants to grow its own marijuana.

Facing a lack of the fresh weed for use in traditional Ayurvedic medical preparations, the government ministry responsible wants to be excepted from laws that have made marijuana illegal on the Indian Ocean island since the 1890s.

The Ministry of Indigenous Medicine this month broached a plan to grow 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) a year of marijuana, also known as cannabis, on a proposed 20 acre (8 hectares) farm.

"We are interested in getting some approval to grow some cannabis with government sponsorship, but there must be controls. It is under study," Asoka Malimage, secretary at the Ministry of Indigenous Medicine, told Reuters on Thursday.

Ayurveda is a traditional medicine with roots in the early Hindu era which makes wide use of herbs and natural remedies with the goal of healing the body and mind. In Sri Lanka, ayurveda practitioners outnumber Western-trained doctors.

Fresh marijuana fried in ghee, a form of clarified butter, is used in about 18 different traditional medicines for treating a wide variety of ailments, Malimage said.

"At the moment they are getting some stocks from the courts of law, because there are people who grow this cannabis illegally and they have been raided by the police," Malimage said.

But the problem with that weed is that it is old and dried out, said Dr. Dayangani Senasekara, head of state-run Bandaranaike Memorial Ayurvedic Research Institute in Colombo.

"You can't get the fresh juice from old cannabis. What we get now is the powdered form and it's not effective," Senasekara said.

The institute is making preparations that use marijuana to treat high cholesterol, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and skin discolorations, and soon will formulate one for treating cataracts, Senasekara said.

The use of marijuana to treat glaucoma, nausea, pain and the loss of appetite from diseases like cancer and AIDS has been the subject of great medical debate in the west.

Some countries and parts of the United States have permitted its use to treat those conditions, after some medical studies showed it was effective. (Editing by Sanjeev Miglani)

The Space Between

Its been 3 years. Wow!!
I can't say for sure that I'll be writing any Love/Hate reviews every week about every day the previous week, but I'll start writing again soon. Its tedious... and frankly I'm not that bored. I'll be linking everything up properly, eventually. I'm going to have too many blogs and different places to put them. Hmm... who knows, maybe this one will move too.
