Blow Energy Drink

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Blow Energy Drink is all the rage these days. The product is mainly known for its’ clever marketing campaign, which seems to be saying: “I love cocaine” by using the slang “blow” instead. So far the drink is selling like, well, uh an illegal drug.

Of course the drink doesn’t contain cocaine, just the whisper that it might. Instead it is loaded with taurine and caffeine, as are most energy drinks.

Blow Energy Drink. It’s hot this week.

Clemens Wife Named

So far baseball legend Roger Clemens has been able to skate on thin ice, and avoid any real trouble concerning performance enhancing drugs. But now charges are hitting very close to home.

Brian McNamee has testified that he injected Debbie Clemens five years ago when she was preparing herself for a Sports Illustrated swim suit photo shoot. Worse news for Roger Clemens, McNamee says the pitcher knew all about it.

McNamee testified during his Capitol Hill deposition Thursday that he injected Debbie Clemens at her husband’s direction, the Daily News said on its website, citing an unidentified Washington source.

Citing a source with knowledge of the testimony, Newsday reported that McNamee said he injected Debbie Clemens in the master bedroom of the Clemenses’ Houston estate and that he also testified that Roger Clemens urged his wife to take HGH because it would be good for her career as a fitness expert. According to Newsday’s source, McNamee said it took Clemens four days to convince his wife to take the drug, which is injected through the stomach, because Debbie Clemens was afraid of the effects. According to Newsday’s source, Debbie Clemens took HGH to prepare for the swimsuit photo shoot, in which she stood over her husband wearing a bikini.

Lawyers for Roger Clemens called McNamee a “liar.”

Rocking Horse Cafe

The Rocking Horse Cafe is making the trends today. I wonder why? The Rocking Horse Cafe must have some hella good food to be so popular at this very moment.

Nora, Alan, and someone else went to the Rocking Horse cafe, and had this to say.

Nora, Alan and I went to Rocking Horse Cafe (182 8th Ave, at 19th St) for Sunday brunch. It’s $14.95 for a cocktail or juice, entree and coffee or tea until 3:30pm. Alan got the burrito de bistec y huevos (hangar steak, scrambled eggs, avocado, cheese and salsa). Nora got the omelet (eggs with mushrooms, peppers, bacon, cheese, salsa and hash browns). I got the panqueques (griddle cakes with bacon, fruits and syrup).

I loved my panqueques. They were cinnamon masa griddle cakes, so it had a different texture than pancakes. Alan’s grilled hangar steak was pretty tender. Nora’s eggs and hash browns were good too.

Panqueques? Now you know that must be one interesting new food! The Rocking Horse Cafe sounds decent after all.

Rick Cleveland

Since I’m from Cleveland, I can’t help but instantly like someone named Rick Cleveland. Rick Cleveland is an excellent writer, best known for his work on The West Wing and Six Feet Under.

It’s clear he has a knack for making politics funny, so Rick Cleveland is back with a new creative venture. His stage show My Buddy Bill has been well received.

Part travelogue, part insight into the strange world of adult male friendship, Cleveland presents his relationship with Clinton in such imaginative detail that audiences who have seen the show have been left wondering what is fact and what is fiction. In fact, it’s all fiction.

“I did a short version of it at the 2006 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, and John Podesta, Clinton’s Chief of Staff, came to see it,” recalls Cleveland. “We met backstage after the show and he said, ‘We must have met before.’ He thought it was true. He was shocked and delighted to find out it’s fiction. That’s absolutely the best kind of compliment.”

I expect we’ll be hearing a lot more about Rick Cleveland in the coming months.

Marc Mezvinsky

Marc Mezvinsky. Now that is a name you know somebody was born with and didn’t pick. Marc Mezvinsky is making the news today, and for good reason. He is rumored to be engaged to former First Daughter, Chelsea Clinton, who is all grown up now and out of the shadow of her famous political parents.

Marc Mezvinsky is a Goldman Sachs employee and was one of her childhood friends. He attended Stanford, just like she did. He is also from a political family. He is the son of two former members of Congress, Marjorie Margolis-Mezvinsky and Edward Mezvinsky.

The two have been seen dating quite a bit in recent weeks and some have suggested the two will be married soon. It is assumed the Clintons would be fairly happy with the match, despite the fact his dad is still in Federal lockup.

Pedro Martinez Cockfight

Pedro Martinez has been cockfighting. Now this would be a big deal to me, except I know that Pedro Martinez is from the Dominican Republic.

My cock is tougher than yours

Cockfighting is neither a crime nor taboo in the DR. In fact, it’s a national past-time, much like baseball is here.

People are always so quick to judge others based on their own morals and principals, but in this case, I can’t see the outrage.

Pedro Martinez cockfights. And YOU eat chicken wings. Quit being such a hypocrite. At least the rooster has a sporting chance to escape his fate. Not true with a chicken wing. So grow up.

HEHS

HEHS. I can’t help but notice the large number of people Googling for “HEHS” today.

So, I think to myself, “what does HEHS” mean? It has to be txt-speak, of that I’m sure. It sounds like something the “cool kids” of Hoffman Estates would call their High School.

So why the upsurge in traffic for Hoffman Estates High School?

Luckily, I found the HEHS website, which said:

All District 211 Schools:

*

James B. Conant High School
*

William Fremd High School
*

Hoffman Estates High School
*

Palatine High School
*

Schaumburg High School
*

Academy-North
* LEAP

will be Closed today,
Wednesday, February 6, 2008.
due to weather conditions.

So, there we have it. Kids at HEHS are taking the day off and looking for themselves on the Internet. The HEHS mystery has been solved.

Union University Hit By Tornado

Union University has been hit hard by the Tornado that ripped through Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

So far, there do not appear to be any injuries. School officials had this to say.

“We currently have no serious injuries that we know of and rescue operations are still continuing,” Ellsworth said. “Many buildings sustained heavy damage.”

The Union University Web site is down and Ellsworth said the school is trying to find an alternate means for posting information. Currently Ellsworth said the school is working on an alternative means of trying to provide parents with information but that power was completely out on campus.

Here’s wishing the best for everybody at Union University. Hopefully all will be well and the damage is not too severe.
