Bring Alias Back


I am watching a rerun of Alias and I am sorry but that show ended too soon. Jennifer Ganer was great. An ass kicking beauty with brains. A rare combination on tv. Then there was Victor Garber he was phenomenal as Jack Bristow. Dude could kill without even a blink, especially when it came to protecting his daughter Sydney. Marcus Dixon (Carl Lumbly) tough and as loyal as they come. Who could forget Ron Rifkin as Arvin Sloane the best bad guy ever. (next to Jack Bristow of course.) When you add in Marshall Flinkman, Irina Derevkoe, Micheal Vaughn, Nadia Santos and Eric Weiss you got one of the best damned shows on tv.

Why did they cancel this show so soon? Why did they move it from Sunday Night? Then move it again and again and again. Who could find the show to to watch anymore? I know the pregnancy season wasn't the greatest but, seasons 2 and 3 were among the best action tv series in tv history. The fights between Lauren Reed (Melissa George) and Sydney were classic. Two hot babes one good, one evil, one blonde, one brunette, one American and one European, both had poutie lips. I am not even going to get into the battles with Francie Calfo (Merrin Dungey) and that whole black chick white chick thing.

What happened to SD6, Profit 5, the Covenant, Rambaldi??? I need spy stuff and I need it now. I need more sexy customs, and all the crazy accents. Bring back the sad eyes and poutie lips! Let's start a letter writing campaign to break back Sydney, and Alias. Where should I send the letter?

THIN LIKE BILL CLINTON


CANDY CANDY CANDY. CHIPS CHIPS CHIPS!!! I want candy and chips all the time. Dieting really stinks. I have been on a diet since Nov. 1. I want to be thin like Bill Clinton. How did you do it Bill. Does South Beach or Atkins allow you to eat chips all day.

My wife tries to tell me to think of it as a lifestyle change. "It's not a diet you are adding years to your life" It's just torture! Why doesn't all the stuff that is good for you taste as good as the bad stuff.

They have not developed any soy products that taste like cheese steaks. I'm sorry but you cannot simulate bacon! (Although, I do perfer turkey bacon.) How come brown rice takes so darn long to cook. You wait for 40 minutes and it still does not beat minute rice. How come general tso's chicken ain't good for you. It has broccoli in it??? Life is just not fair sometimes some of us are really big boned.

Sorry for complaining about me diet.

Philly boy down south


How did I end up here. Don't get me wrong, Memphis is great. The people are nice and food is good. Collectively as a city, the women are the prettiest that I have seen. Now I see why Miss TN is always in the running for Miss America. BUT Memphis ain't PHILLY!!! No matter where you go these, supposed Philly foods places just can not get it right. The bread never measures up. I miss amoroso's, diambrosia... I miss PHILLY!!!

I miss:

The SEPTA bus driver waiting 3 seconds for you to get to the corner. And the people on the bus say, " Well you shoulda been at the corner already'"

When you are in line at the supermarket and the cashier is mad at you for getting in her line. The look in her eye tells you that she's thinking, "That other line is moving faster than this one, why don't you go over there.

Walking around the city and going downtown where all the pretty people lurk. I am sure there is a bouncer waiting at the city hall subway stop. If you don't make the cut you have to go back home.

Going down to Kelly Drive and watching all the sweaty women jogging. I love sweaty women.

The saturday afternoon cooking show block on channel 12.

Northern Liberties, Nicetown, Belle Vista, Norph Philly.

My old job. Being a bigg shot.

The Russian landlords on the Section 8 program. The accent on those Russian women is so hot!

DA E_A_G_L_E_S EAGLES!!!

My bigg brother and sisters and my dad sometimes.

to be continued....

Yeah Memphis is nice but it can never be Philly.
