This shouldn’t take long.  I had already heard of this newstory over the past couple of days, but for some reason reading the headline tonight really got me riled up.  The story I’m talking about is the one where the first man got pregnant.

Like most, I was curious about this.  I mean, this story should peak your interest if you know anything about anatomy.

I started reading about how this person, born a woman became a man.  Let me rephrase that…I started reading about how this person, born a woman is trying to trick people into thinking she is a man.

Here’s the lowdown…

She removed her breasts.

She grew a beard (I’m assuming some kind of hormone treatment was used.)

She underwent a sex-change operation, but kept her reproductive organs (Am I missing something here?)

She legally changed her gender (I mean if that’s all you have to do to change your gender then I need to call my 2nd grade bus driver)

She got pregnant.

What?!  Yes, she got pregnant.  A woman got pregnant!  Wow!  Somehow this is headline news.  Not many people are coming out saying how bizarre this woman is.  Great spiritualist, humanist, and savior of the world Oprah can’t believe how great it is.

I don’t want to get too graphic, but seriously, the day a man passes a baby through their penis, I’ll be impressed.  The day a woman grows a penis, gets pregnant, and passes a baby through it, is the day I will call her a man.  Until then she is just sick…and really dumb.

I’m not making any of this up.

So about a year ago I helped a friend move across country to San Diego.  As you can imagine there were some moments that stuck out above others.  Below is a 5 minute video of one those moments.  If you listen closely you can hear the splashing. Enjoy…

I was thinking all day Monday about what kind of post I was gonna put up for April Fool’s Day.  Honestly, I really couldn’t think of anything that would be out of this world funny or original.  Then I realized why, I’m naturally sarcastic and today, April 1 is my sabbath = rest for the sarcastic fold.  April Fool’s Day might as well be National Sarcasm Day.  Everyone around the world will try to make up a story hoping you’ll believe it, thus making you look stupid, which is basically the foundation of sarcasmism or what I call ‘Pillar I’.  It’s not that anyone who makes up an untrue story to trick someone (what I like to call lying) is being sarcastic, but honestly the good ones are.

So no sarcasm today.  I’m being serious, no really.  It’ll be tough, I know.

Instead I wanna take a moment and recognize the start of the 2008 MLB regular season.  That’s right, my Cleveland Indians will yet again screw with my emotions for roughly 6 to 7 months.

It’s a great time of the year, seriously, you can’t go wrong with baseball.

I’m hoping to take a trip again this summer to Jacob’s Field (yea, I know the name changed to Progressive Field…garbage).  I’m not sure when but it will probably be a Friday/Saturday trip sometime in July or August, very short but well worth it.  If there is anyone interested feel free to let me know.  From what I remember its about an 8 hour drive straight up I-77….literally.  If you never been to Cleveland you’ll get a chance to see the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, Lake Erie, and a bunch of Drew Carey paraphenilia.  Ohhh, and there is also Canton, and for the love of all that is good and holy, you should know what is there. 

Here are some pictures from my trip last August…

You’ll notice that I don’t look happy in the last picture…they lost to the Yankees.  It was pitiful.  It was also at this point that I realized that I had to drive back to Charlotte for the next 8 hours.

By the way, the Indians beat the ChiSox 10-8 last night… 1-0!!!

I promise, I’ll keep the baseball updates to a minimum.
