I don't know about you, but I hate that new banner Blogger has put on my website right above. It keeps blocking my title, and really serves no purpose. I know there is a way to fix it, but I'm not Internet savvy and don't have the HTML expertise to go into my settings and change it.

You know how companies or tv networks follow each other once a hit is found? For example, CBS came out with Survivor and spawned the reality television crap-a-thon we now see. Or how one food company can come out with a popular "low carb" product and have all the other companies come out with something so similar that's also low carb (I don't get this whole low carb craze). Well that got me thinking about the Powerwong Bathroom Trilogy success and made me consider whether or not I should come out with my own Lemmyboy Bathroom Trilogy to feed off his success. But then I realized I don't have any toilet peeking knowledge the way Powerwong does. Plus there are only so many fart stories to tell. But hey, if Survivor can lead to crap like Joe Millionaire which leads to more crap like Average Joe, you never know where the Bathroom Trilogy will lead to. I guarantee some stranger stumbled upon Powerwong's site, wrote down all those stories, will write a book, and sell it for millions. You're on to something Brandon.

There was an article on Yahoo about one of my favorite basketball players, Fred Hoiberg, and how he should've been on the Olympic Basketball Team aka Team USA aka Team Bronze Medal. I also heard a guy on ESPN talk about how he would've chosen Fred Hoiberg to be on the team because he can shoot three pointers, and if you've seen Team USA in action this year in Athens, you'll see they can't shoot. If you look up and down the bench, there's nothing but black guys on the team, no white players. They said the only reason Hoiberg didn't make the team was because his USA jersey wouldn't be profitable and the NBA is trying to make a profit off these guys (sad to think I actually did buy a Hoiberg jersey).

I haven't really kept up with the Olympics this year. Let's just say I'm not one of those guys who buys cable just to watch the Olympics. Nor am I the type of guy who plays volleyball and insults my 'teammates' even though I'm not on the roster. And I'm definately not the type of guy who will yell at you for moving Sprites into the garage even though I told you to move them 10 seconds earlier. Nope, that's not me either. I'm just the type of guy who tries to focus on his studies and gets by in life. Yup, that's me.
