New Wii Game

I finally bought a new Wii game after owning the system for almost a year and a half. Actually, I bought one back in Feb, but that doesn't count as it was really more of a demo game. Anyway, I got Mario Kart for the Wii.

I must admit it is quite fun. It comes with a steering wheel so you can actually drive the car.



Who wants to play??

Orioles Manager Quote

I think I actually like the manager of the Orioles, not because they are doing decent right now, but for quotes like this about people running on the field during a game -

"I wish I could have taken them in the back room," he said. "I would have kicked the snot out of both of them. I'm serious. You think I'm kidding you. I don't have any patience for disrespect. These guys bust their [rear] out there every night, and for two lunatics to come out there like that -- who do they think they are? Turn them over to us one time. I'll show them where the other side of the fence is. I believe in respect and common courtesy. Those two idiots last night did not show any of that." Dave Trembley - Baltimore Orioles Manager.

Now I don't condone language like this, but it is slightly amusing.

Denver Auto Show

About a month ago Brianna and I had the chance to go to the Denver Auto Show down at the Colorado Convention Center. It's billed as the largest auto show west of the Mississippi.

It was really crowded and there were a lot of people that didn't understand the courtesy of sitting in the car for just a brief period and then letting the people waiting sit in the car, but we had a good time. People also need to get their little kids out of the driver seats as well. They can't even drive. The Denver Auto Show also needs to accept credit or debit card to get in.

Anyway, going to the auto show has always been a favorite of mine ever since my Dad starting taking me to the Baltimore Auto Show when I was real little. I think I still have a fan from Hyundai from one of those shows.

Brianna and I came away really impressed by some cars and very disappointed in others. I don't understand what people see in BMW's and Mercedes. I didn't care for them at all. The Volvo's and Lexus's were actually my favorite in the luxury category. We aren't buying anything anytime soon though so this was just so we could sit in all the cars and have fun. Afterward Brianna and I went to Cheesecake Factory.
