It's Been A While

Hello all. Sorry it has been so long since I last blogged but it's been a busy month and a half. I graduated from the University of Maryland after enduring possibly the longest, most boring, worst commencement speech of all time. In short, the speech discussed how progress wasn't real, it was merely an idea. Shortly thereafter, I went to Europe for a month. Here are some things I learned:
1. ALL Spanish guys walk around like they are the shit, yet many of them have not yet gotten the 1993 memo that the mullet is not and has never been fashionable.
2. Paris is the most overrated city on Earth and there is certainly nothing romantic about it. Furthermore, the Mona Lisa is the most overrated painting on Earth.
3. Amsterdam is the shit.
4. The Heineken Factory tour is the best 11 Euros one can spend on the continent.
5. NOBODY in Europe likes immigrants.
6. EVERYBODY hates George W. Bush. Literally every time I told people I was from the United States, the response was, "Well, you didn't vote for Bush did you?"

It was really an awesome trip. I was in Madrid when Real Madrid won La Liga which was out of control and I got to see Cannavaro, Beckham, Sergio Ramos, Casillas and all those dudes up close and personal which was certainly a once in a lifetime experience. Anybody who would like to go back with me, please let me know.

When I returned from Europe, there was one thing that I had been looking forward to since I left: the last 2 episodes of The Sopranos. So, regardless of my fatigue and jetlag, I stayed up until 2 in the morning the night I got back to watch the final two. The second to last one was undoubtedly one of the best hours in television history. The finale was a good episode right up until the end. The killing off of Phil Leotardo (btw, Frank Vincent always plays the douche bag Guinea wise guy in everything) was classic. But to end The Sopranos, one of the best shows ever on television with fucking "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey is just pitiful. To end a fine television show with an played out song that people only listen to because it's so bad is despicable. We the viewers were all left with so many questions. What ends up happening to Tony? Will A.J. finally get his ass kicked as we've been hoping for since he grew that stupid as chin strap? What ever happened to Meadow's fiance "Yanks in 4, I was there" Finn? To just cut to black and make me think that my On Demand was broken was just terrible, so terrible. Instead of having some balls and making something, anything happen to Tony Sopranos, David Chase decided to have him eat Funions. I've always said that the show should have ended after Season 5; Season 6 was a whole lot of nothing. Ever since they killed off Aidriana and got rid of the only hot girl on the show just has not been the same, by which I mean good. I feel bad that I chose to watch The Sopranos instead of Family Guy Sundays at 9pm.

Happy 231st Birthday America!
