Random thoughts and observations...

So think about a kind of car, any car, and look for that kind of car when you are driving...why might you ask? Well I will tell you why right now...

So my boss just got a Dodge Caliber and every since I have been seeing them all over the damn place. Its not that there are more on the road since you just thought about what kind of car you were going to look for...its all about awareness and recognition. This is the same way with any kind of car...last week it was the Acura TL. Sure enough they were everywhere. It kind of amazes me how unaware people are of their surroundings. Not that everybody just goes out and looks for different kinds of cars but this has been a bizarre phenomenon that everyone can experience. Just have to put that kind of car in the front of your mind and it sticks with your subconscious. So I encourage you to pick out a car and see how many of those damn things you end up seeing...my guess it will be a lot.

You will then think to yourself...wow that Seth Mork is right.

So moving on...did I ever tell any of you how much I hate Cheryl Miller??? For those of you who don't know who she is...she is Reggie Miller's (NBA basketball hall of famer who played for the Pacers) sister. Or how I like to think of it...Reggie with a vagina and some dreads. She is doing the "on court" reporting for tonight's Celtics/Hawks game. Once again someone should be fired. She has a high pitched voice and stumbles more than a Mankato college student walking up Warren hill on her sentences and I just feel like she needs to be kicked in the ass to get her words out. I know I probably couldn't do much better, but I am not trying to be a fucking reporter. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to get Reggie with a vagina to do sideline reporting for a men's NBA basketball PLAYOFF game should be psychologically evaluated and then promptly fired. I am now settling for the lesser of two evils watching the White Sox/Yankees with Joe Morgan doing the broadcast which isn't much better.

I mean what the hell did Cheryl Miller do to deserve a great job like that besides fall out of the same vagina as NBA legend Reggie Miller. I would be interested to hear your opinions...

So my next topic is about Kevin Garnett and how much I hate him now that he has left the Timberwolves. He is a cocky ass and is always talking shit to every player that he faces. I usually don't have any displeasure towards Minnesota stars that leave the state because our sucky owners wont pay them the money but with Garnett it is different. I would love to see the Hawks upset them in the first round but I don't think that is going to happen. If the Celtics do make it to the finals...they will not beat a superior Western Conference team, mark my word.

Speaking of Minnesota owners...how bout Mr. Zygmund Wilf and the Vikings breaking the mold in Minnesota professional sports and going out and paying big money for a player because they want to win NOW. I am almost giddy at this and wished the NFL season started this Sunday, but I guess I will settle for the NFL draft on Saturday. The signing of Jared Allen is quite surprising and if he can lay off the sauce and live up to the hype the Vikes defense could be best in the NFL. Bar None.

I know people are saying yeah yeah..but what about Tarvaris Jackson?? Yeah what about him? We have the rookie of the year at running back, offensive line that looked strong at the end of the year last season, a deep threat with Bernard Berrian and Sidney Rice and a defense that will be great. The signing of Allen will also give some relief to our secondary that was exposed last season due to the fact that we could not rush the quarterback.

With mediocre quarterback play from Jackson and the rest of the team doing what they do...we could be talking SUPERBOWL HOMEBOY!

The Ravens did it with Trent Dilfer so anything could happen. Start making your wagers in Vegas today!


So I went and picked up Atmosphere's new album yesterday and its pretty damn good. A bit different from prior albums but I like it and encourage everyone to go pick it up. The name of the album is "When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold."

Jimmy Johns, Jimmy Johns

So I just finished another sandwich from Jimmy Johns and it was phenomenal. I have yet to be disappointed after eating at that place. Whether you are looking for a quick snack or a meal, good ole Jimmy Johns is where its at.

Today I opted for the #16 (Turkey, bacon) and I am almost tempted to go back and order another sandwich. I have been known to frequent Jimmy Johns more than once a day in the past but who is counting. I usually opt for the #2 (Big John-roast beef) and every single time that I get that sandwich and after I am finished I always think..."that is so damn good."

You really cant go wrong with what you order there, #1, 2, 5, 12, 16. They are all good and you will always leave satisfied. I am really thinking about trying the tuna..looks interesting and I feel I should branch out a bit.

The Jimmy chips are awesome too. I really like the kettle style chips and usually go with the salt & vinegar. My mouth is watering thinking about them right now and I just finished a bag. I felt the same way about Chipotle last year but that love has faded and I have moved on. I used to walk in there and instantly my mouth watered. I still frequent Chipotle but not as much as I used to due to my current infatuation with Jimmy Johns.

Some days I don't feel like driving or leaving my apartment or workplace and its all good because they deliver and the commercials are right...they are real fast. Before you know it, they are knocking on your door or you are getting called to the front desk at work to retrieve your sandwich...again. Almost gets embarrassing sometimes...its like, yeah its me ordering again, but I don't care because we have a special relationship.

So if you end up going to an actual Jimmy Johns location they are even faster. You are ordering your sub before you even reach for your wallet and they usually have it done before I can get my drink filled. Sometimes I wish they weren't quite as fast because I almost get intimidated, especially if I am real hungover or something and my brain isn't functioning properly.

I really wish I would have invented this company or something similar because I would be rich. Obviously I couldn't have invented "Jimmy Johns" because my first and middle name is not James John but you get the point. Sethy Andrew's is not going to cut it...

I think I might just settle on buying some stock in the company so in a sense I am paying myself back and getting a delicious treat in return.

As you can see I have it all figured out and I will keep you updated on the progress of my restaurant chain entrepreneuring.

Until then go out and support your local Jimmy John's.
