Never played for the Expos. Jamais.

I'm removing the "Douche" comment because my dear friend John Peterson has commended me with a fair "Well played" comment. And my first goal has been completed.

I am not obsessed with Blastings Thrilledge. I am also not an idiot. I'm a pretty smart dude and I really wanted to stake claim on Tacoby Bellsbury as a name and I got it. I may have disappointed the sports blog community by not being more pro-active on this blog and for that I can understand. To be honest, I'm not really a "sports blog" kind of guy.

I did create a blog to express my boredom during work with an old co-worker of mine, we engaged in a debate over who would win in a battle, a ninja or a pirate. Unable to reach a verdict and somewhat disturbed at where we were at (I was an operations specialist, not Mike Lowell's replacement waiting in the wings), we created http://200percentawesome.blogspot.com/

I will continue to write on this blog periodically. It may not be a fan page, or a gripe page, or even a baseball page in general. We do live in a pretty self-absorbed society and I might just make the damn thing about myself. I like the sports theme though, I even like the puke green background***. It's abrasive. Kinda like me. Look beyond the vomit colored lining, however, and you will see more. Perhaps, a lot more. Okay, I'm bullshitting myself now. Back to the subject.

Kenny Lofton won the Korbel driving range contest at the recent celebrity golf thing. Cheers!

*** I have replaced the puke green background with Taco Bell colors, this is an experiment, your feedback is somewhat appreciated ***
