Yeah Boy! Yah Suck! Friday…

December 4, 2009 · Posted in Life Happens, Random Stuff, Yeah Boy! Yah Suck! 

Missed last Friday’s Yeah Boy, Yeah Suck ‘coz of the holidays and today I’ve been fighting the network gremlins all morning and a little out of sorts right now and playing catch-up… Yes that cheese to go with my whine sounds good just about now…

Anyway…

This week’s Yeah Boy! (should have been last week, but who’s tracking?)…

Efren Peñaflorida and the rest of the 10 CNN 2009 Heroes. Their stories are simply the true silver lining in the dark clouds that has been laying over our dear planet. Efren Peñaflorida was named the CNN Hero of the Year, but even though I am truly proud of this man from my home country, I can easily say that any of the other 9 folks recognized in this event are equally deserving.

My hat’s off to these heroes: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cnn.heroes/archive09/index.html

What else is there to say but YEAH BOY!!!

This week’s Yah Suck, well there are so many choices:

1. The publicity-craving-I-want-my-15-minutes-of-fame-damn-the-fucking-security-and-dignity-of-our-nation  Salahi’s… I saw an interview of these Whitehouse party crashers and they said: “This event has totally ruined our lives.” Well, if you weren’t so egotistically-inept did you ever think that you will get away with breaching the security of the home of the President of the United States? You crash the party of celebrities, you are bound to get sued for tresspassing, and you wonder why you are getting so much flack for crashing the Whitehouse? You are not only STOOPID, but also YAH SUCK!!!

2. The 3 Secret Service officers who failed to follow protocol and let the Salahi’s talk their way into the Whitehouse…. Dude, dude, DUDE!!! YAH SUCK!!!

3.Tiger Woods… Dude, sorry but you got caught, so YAH SUCK!!!

4. The Lamestream Media who thrive in sensationalizing the “imperfections” of celebrities… Seriously, don’t you have other more real-earth-changing/shattering news to cover than to waste 15 minutes of the news hour on a man who despite what many claims is also human and bound to make really bad decisions just like the rest of us… I know that he is a celebrity and that if he is ever caught peeing in public, its news… BUT CHEEZE-WHIZ-CRY-ME, HE IS NOT THE ONLY NEWS!!! We are still fighting 2 wars, our economy is actually showing a little bit of life, our healthcare is in the hands of a few inept well-insured politicians, people are doing great things despite all odds and you will devote so much time of your news segment on some man’s infidelity? YAH SUCK!!!

5. The Network Gremlins I had to battle most of the week and particularly early this morning. Just gotta put this in because seriously it has been a pain… To all Network Gremlins out there who ruins IT Geeks day by causing havoc for no apparent or explanable reason, YAH SUCK!!!
