Preface; PPV; Reading

Now that baseball season is over the the Manhattan Jaspers, I will look forward to once again becoming a regular here in the blog world.  I admit, between baseball and being a new father, time is limited.  I do my best though, so bear with me.  And thanks to those of you who followed our season and I apologize for the ass-whooping we got at Florida on Friday afternoon.

Anyway, back to the blog:

PPV
110% Jerk Material - I don't think it's about some guy who acts like an idiot.  And it's impossible to give more than 100%, anyway.

The Cockpit, 3 - I'm just saying, but I doubt this is a documentary about being a pilot.

Rear View - Not about the mirror, I promise.

Butt Dialed - There no mistaking that these calls are not by accident.  I think they're dialed in on one thing.

Reading
I recently began reading Life, a memoir by Rolling Stones guitarist and band founder Keith Richards.  Not to sound like a douche bag or like I know everything, but this book is pretty captivating.  I used to read a lot, and I think I'm back in that mold, because I've read this book for 5 days and am on page 70 already - and read slow as shit.  So this book not only keeps my attention, but it is written almost as if he's speaking - something I tend to do when I write my blog.

Growing up getting bullied in England, he had a pretty tough life, but he was determined to make it.  And I'd say he had a pretty good run.  I guess he's on Twitter too, KeithRichards43, but I am not sold it's him.

I am on Twitter @ryaninthebronx - so follow me.  It's an easy way to read my blogs, since they get posted there as soon as I publish them here.

Time to take the dog out and when I get back in, give Nolan a little bath, get the Florida scuzz off him a little.

Later knuckleheads!

Well I read a ton of books of all types, history, biography, memoir...I really liked this book as well. You're right. it's written well and often it felt like I was he just there talking to me. I didn't like it much right away but it sorta grew on me and after a bit I was in the groove. I read the whole thing in 3 days or so, it was that good. You can say a lot of sh*t about Keith but he is definately the real deal! He is NOT a freakin' POSER, that's for damn sure!
