A Whole Lot of Nothing...

Folks, there just isn't a whole lot going on. I've made a solid effort in finding some good material to put on the RPR, but either (a) there's nothing exciting to blog about; (b) I lead a boring life; or (c) my creative juices are drier than the Mojave Desert. Regardless, let's see what I can think of...

- I'm sure most of you saw David Blaine on Monday night, as he concluded his 8 days in a glass sphere by holding his breath for a 'measly' 7 minutes and 8 seconds. That means he missed out on setting a world record and hitting his goal of 9 minutes. It was entertaining for a short time, and cheers goes out to ABC for getting Stuart Scott to host the event on live television. They must have realized, "Hey, we have 2 hours of live coverage to fill, and although we have a handful of Blaine clips to show, we'll need Stu Scott to come in here and BS in the interim. Otherwise all we have is a guy floating in water with an oxygen tank before he attempts to hold his breath for a ridiculous amount of time. Boo ya." Otherwise, highlight of the show was the Blaine clips, including one where he hit on 6 roulette spins in a row, and pulled out a lady's tooth.
- Can anyone give me a mainstream rock update? More specifically, if anyone's heard the new records by Pearl Jam or Red Hot Chili Peppers, please let me know if they're worthwhile.

- Phils won their 9th straight game this evening in sloppy fashion. Billy Wagner didn't get in the game, but I'd imagine he'll step on the mound at some point between Wednesday and Thursday night's games. At that time, he'll be booed, because Philly fans love to boo, especially when you make stupid remarks saying how you don't love the City of Brotherly Love. I will give him credit for this funny comment, found in this NY Daily News article:

"As for the Phillie fans' tough rep, Wagner recalled a conversation with Phillies bullpen catcher Mick Billmeyer. When the closer learned Billmeyer had been raised in Philly, he asked him: "When you were born, was the doctor [yelling], 'You suck'"?"

- As always, if any readers have article ideas/suggestions/guest columns, please contact me. Writing a guest column for the RPR is as easy as writing an email to a friend! Help a brother out!
