Worst Person of the Week 7/20/10

OK Folks it is time once again to find out who the worst person of the week is. Last weeks run away winner was Mel Gibson who really had no contest. This week will probably be a bit more interesting. So here we go with this weeks nominees:

The Cast of Jersey Shore - Who is asking for more money? These guys are. As if MTV couldn't’t take a trip down to Wildwood and throw out a net and get the same cast. (or better) Add that to the fact that Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is writing a self help book. (yes that is no typo) and these guys deserve a nomination here for WP.

Paris Hilton - Paris is ticked off at stories she was arrested AGAIN for possession of marijuana when in fact she was only just questioned and released. Imagine that Paris angry about media coverage. Yeesh. Paris is always WP worthy but getting detained for pot 2 times in less than 10 days is special even for her. Oh and as you can see to the left she was photographed topless this weekend too. Double Yeesh.

George Steinbrenner - A vote for George is more like a lifetime achievement award for one of the surliest meanest nastiest owners in all of professional sports. Yes he passed away last week leaving a nation of Yankee fans in mourning but that doesn't change history and turn him into a nice guy. I think George deserves some consideration and he probably would be proud of it.

Rachel Uchitel - Rachel is now having to go into celebrity rehab with Dr. Drew. For someone whose chief claim to fame is sleeping with Tiger Woods and then taking bribe money (a lot of it) not to blab about it to the press shouldn't your 15 minutes already be up? Of course not. She is now probably hooked on pills and needs rehab. Tick Tock Rachel Tick Tock.

There you have it folks. Lets here your comments and please vote in the poll for this Worst Person of the Week. Who should it be?

Going Camping...

Going to be off the rest of the week because we are heading off to the North Carolina mountains tomorrow to go camping with some good friends of ours. Headed to a place called Julian Price Park which sounds lovely except for the lack of electricity. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these people who think camping involves a Holiday Inn however I would like an electrical outlet to plug in a radio. Everyone has said this place doesn't even have lights in the bathroom. Solution? I went out to BJ's and bought a whole ton of batteries yesterday.
I am really looking forward to the trip. I haven't been camping in years and my son has of course never been. I think he is old enough to actually enjoy it now. I am also hoping to get some fishing done... possibly teaching my son as well. Now since he has the attention span of a flea for "boring" things like watching a hook in the water my prospects aren't great. I am just hoping that at some point we are able to land one fish so he can see how it's done.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and I hope to have some pictures to share next week. Pray for no rain!

Worst Person of the Week 7/13/10

OK, we are going to start a new feature here at YJKOBT called the Worst Person of the Week. This new feature (with apologies to Keith Olbermann) will allow the readers of this blog to vote and decide which current news maker/celebrity is the worst person of the week. Hopefully you will enjoy.

This weeks nominees are as follows:

MEL GIBSON - Mel is nominated this week because he seems to have found himself in a dispute with his baby momma in which he launches into a racist, domestic assault filled, threat laced tirade that she catches on tape.

LINDSAY LOHAN - Miss Lohan finds herself a nominee because she continues to behave like a juvenile and has been sentenced to jail for breaking her parole. Her response? Drawing F-You to the judge on her fingernails.

ANNA CHAPMAN - She may look good but this vixen is actually a spy for Mother Russia and this past week she was captured but deftly managed to allude punishment. She was deported back to Russia but I have a funny feeling we will hear from her again.

LEBRON JAMES - Oh yes, Last but not least the scourge of the earth Lebron James makes the list for 2 reasons. First because he dared to leave Cleveland in the lurch and second for the cold hearted way that he did it. Anytime a hometown hero gets his jersey burned in effigy he deserves a not for worst person of the week.

There are the nominees. Please give me your thoughts. Which is the worst person and why? Comments and lively debate are always welcome here at YJKOBT. Please also vote in the poll which will be open for a few days so we can crown this weeks Worst Person!

Weekend and an Old Watch

We had a pretty good weekend that included among other things repainting the entire downstairs and upstairs hall of our house. Now don't get me wrong I didn't do any of the painting. I spent the day with my son out of the house keeping him away from the paint while my wife, sister, parents, and sister's boyfriend did the hard work. The house looks great and I had my fill of Chic-Fil-A seeing as my son wanted to play in their play area for hour upon hour.
I also had a semi-revelation on Saturday. I realized that one of the reasons I don't have as much to blog about is that I tweet pretty much everything that is going on. Now I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing I just need to remember to hold back a thing or two so I can have something to blog about. Pretty smart huh? I had something on Saturday that I really wanted to tweet about but I saved it. So here goes.
One of the things I wanted to get done while I had some time with my son on Saturday was take him to Bass Pro Shop so he could pick out his very first sleeping bag. We are going camping this coming weekend, you know roughing it with tents and campfires and stuff and we needed to pick up some new gear. I went up in the attic to check for sleeping bags and could only find one not two. This called for a more thorough search and while I didn't find the missing sleeping bag I did locate something that I thought I had lost years ago. My airplane pilots watch!
How sweet is this? It was in the bottom of my old college trunk up in the attic and I know I haven't seen or worn it in at least 10 years! The battery was dead of course (probably the reason it ended up in the trunk in the first place) but bonus, we were heading to the mall and I could get a new battery installed. I did and check it out, it's like my old watch is now my new watch. I'm wearing it right now!
Have you ever found something like this that you had forgotten you had and it was like brand knew when you did? Tell me about it...
