Random Shots

-I was watching 20/20 before I went out on Friday night and they had two intriguing stories ... the first was about two female friends who were in a car accident ... to make things worse, the helicopter that was to transport them both to the hospital crashed en route ... the crash killed everyone on board, except one of the girls ... talk about the worst luck in the world ... the second story was about three men, who also were in a chopper crash, but this time in Columbia and they were subsequently captured by Columbian militant extremists ... they were held captive from 2003 to 2008 ... upon returning home, a couple of their marriages came to an end as their partners had moved on ... I guess love doesn’t always stand the test of time ... but like one of the guys said, “five years is a lot of time, they didn’t even have iPods when we were captured” ...

-A lot of sh*t has been stirred as a result of Russia flying a bomber plane over Canadian airspace during last week’s Presidential visit ... I share the same sentiments as everyone, seems kinda suspect ... I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, the only purpose of a bomber plane is to drop bombs ... and it doesn’t seem just out of pure coincidence that they were headed towards Canada during Obama’s visit ... maybe it’s just flexing of muscle on Russia’s part ... my position, if Russia has hostilities with the States, leave Canada out of it (kinda hard when we’re stuck in the middle) ...

-Nintendo revealed its release date for Punch-Out!! ... May 18th ... looking forward to it ...

-Juan Manuel Marquez stopped Juan Diaz last night in 9 rounds, much to my dismay ... I was kinda pulling for Diaz, so Marquez would be permanently be taken out of the picture ... Now Marquez is talking all big saying Manny Pacquiao doesn’t want none of him, so Marquez himself will now go after Floyd Mayweather Jr. ... huh?!?! ... did I miss something?, is Marquez on crack? ... Mayweather just turned down $8M to fight Shane Mosley, so why the hell would Floyd fight a guy whose never been a draw in his career? ... but if Floyd ever did fight him, Marquez would get his proverbial *ss kicked ... there are only three big time attractions in the game today, Manny, Floyd and Oscar ... hey Marquez, know your damn role and take a number, because you’re behind in the pecking order (Mosley, Cotto and Hatton) ...

-My Filipinoness keeps growing exponentially ... I was at the LCBO yesterday and was going to pick up Heineken, until what caught my eye? ... San Miguel ... yeah baby! Filipino imports ... downing a bottle as we speak, LOL ...

-Finally, keeping with the Pinoy stuff, they’ve opened a Jollibee location in Queens, New York City!!! ... YEAAAAH!!! ... first one on the East Coast that I know of ... I’m already checking the calendar for when I can go next ... that’s why New York City is the greatest city in the World, showing love to the Philippines ... Jollibee, the best fried chicken on the planet! Period! ...

Peace!
