theJEDMAN NATION-A New Wave Manifesto

Documenting the JED Experience

BLOG WARS-I've been sitting here for an hour because I thought that I had something intersting to blog today, but I don't. I think that most of know that it is really tough for me to say anything interesting. I have a few readers now and I'm struggling to keep the juggarnaut that is theJEDMAN going. The auora of theJEDMAN is a O billion dollar a year industry. That has to be kept going, not for me, but for the fans. Now, I've got a huge lead on that dude over there at iberiannotes.blogspot.com. That guy is a clown compared to me. I've schooled that guy. I've out punched that guy. I've outwitted that guy. I"ve eaten way more beef than that guy. theJEDMAN is an unstoppable literary force and will destory iberiannotes if iberiannotes tries to take what is theJEDMAN. I'm a dynasty. Iberiannotes is a travesty. I advise everyone in the freeworld to stop reading iberiannotes now. Switch to theJEDMAN. You won't regret it. theJEDMAN
*Yeah, I know this is garbage, but what can I do.

I didn't go to work this week. I did nothing but read the paper, drink coffee, burn cds(I had never done this before so it was a big moment for me), watch movies that I've already seen, and sleep. It was everything I ever dreamed it could be. theJEDMAN

I saw Penelope Cruz on TV the other day and she has a new boyfriend. The new boyfriend is not me. It seems she's going out with another guy that she did a movie with. Are there no quality men out there for Miss Penelope to date. Why does she have to continually pick those dope smoking freakshow Hollywood types that get arrested for having loud parties with hip hop death metal country punk music in the Hollywood Hills. I tell you why. It is too much security personal. The security personal form an impenetrable zone between the quality men and Miss Penelope. Miss Penelope does not know what she is missing. Her people are advising her in the wrong way. I'm not thinking about me, but one possible key to Miss Penelope's happiness is meeting a quality person. With better security, she could meet and date theJEDMAN. Think about it. It could be Mrs. Penelope Cruz-theJEDMAN. It is not just Penelope. It is other celebrities with bad security forces. There could be Mrs. Salma Hayek-theJEDMAN or Mrs. Shakira-theJEDMAN

I wasn't going to say anything about the Jayhawks' defeat, but I feel I owe it to the public to give my take. It wasn't a surprise. The Jayhawks have been playing with an anemic offense all year long. They had trouble scoring. Consistent guard play has been absent all year long. I've been saying for two years that the Jayhawks have been playing un-watchful basketball. They play half-court all the time. They try to pound the ball in the post or kick out to a spot up three or someone goes one on one. In a word, BORING! This is what pretty much every team does. This is a big reason why I don't like college basketball as much as I used to. They only dunk and shoot three pointers. Get rid of the three point line. Move and shoot from somewhere else on the court. You can't expect big Wayne to do 30 post moves a game from the block. They never tried to run. They rarely pressed. They hardley ever forced any turnovers. All of these things Coach Roy's teams did. Coach Roy's teams were always different. Coach Roy's teams played a more watchable brand of basketball. The Jayhawks were so lucky to have coach Roy. If he hadn't come and hadn't worked out, there could have been really have bad basketball.
This was a bad loss. Nothing against Bucknell, but the Jayhawks lost to a team that only has four or five scholarship players from a league that had never one a game in the NCAAs. Perennial top 10 teams just don't lose to opponents like that. This loss makes last years final 8 look like it was just a Coach Roy hangover. This is the first step to Self being on the hot seat. If he has a bad year next year and loses in the first round again. Self will be on the hot seat. With no players returning that have proven they can play, it will most likely get worse before it gets better. I hope the team plays well next year for all those Jayhawks yeahoos out there. I hope they sick around for a 17-12 season. That is a losing season for Jayhawk yeahoos. We'll see. Remember sports are just not that important. They are just entertainment. So, enjoy the sport, but it is not life or death. There is no reason to get too high to low over a victory or loss. theJEDMAN

I bought two new jackets. I got a 30-50 degree jacket and at 50+ degree jacket. They are awesome. I made good purchases. I ordered out of a catalog. I usually don't like doing that because I have to feel what I'm buying first. These jackets rock. I've been searching for a jacket for a long time. All the jackets at stores are not good. I'm just glad my quest is over. theJEDMAN

I've gone to some games of this lower level college basketball tournament. They have a lot of games back to back. At halftime of the games, they have these kids teams play at both end of the court. One time they had 9 girls playing at one end. One girl had to sit out as the rest played 4 on 4. They were probably 10 or 11 years old. There were two dads there on the court as they were playing. They played for about ten minutes and never once did the girl on the side get in the game. She stood anxiouly on the side the whole time. Why didn't someone put her in the game? It is a big time playing in a big arena where Walt Hazzard played. Those stupid dads probably destoried this girls athletic career. theJEDMAN

I finally broke down and bought another computer. I'm sure Mr. Dell is happy. My last Mr. Dell computer quit working last summer. I got really mad at it and took it apart and put the pieces all over the house in the middle of the floor. It was awesome trying not to trip over them everyday. I had just used computers at work since then. I just didn't want to give Mr. Dell any more money. I hate technology, but I want to buy a MPS player to download some music for my massive 2 hours walks through the suburban streets that I love.

It was finally nice enough to hit the disc golf links. I played both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. I actually kept score today. I shot a 73. Not good. 1 over jedpar. Jedpar=not really par, but what Jed thinks it should be. I would have done better, but I blew a put on 18 and I rocketed my tee shot on 11 into an evergreen 10 feet from the tee. Then, I hit several trees on all of my shots in the woods on 15. Overall I recovered well. They have a league out at this place in Olathe. I might go play in it. My arm is strong and accurate. I'm getting that good.

Iberiannotes is putting stuff on their blog about theJEDMAN. Check out the Iberiannotes.

It is a little late, but I went to the Manino's Super Bowl Party. It was awesome. They had big Shrimp, pit group, and beef plenty of beef. They had beef in the soup and beef in the sandwiches. It was beef. BEEF, not to good for my colon, but good Super Bowl food. I watched every minute of the game from the pit group with my feet up. It was awesome. I love the Manino. I live for the Manino. theMANINO is awesome.

So, I'm back on the blog. Bookmark the blog. Read the blog once a week. I'm going to write at least one thing a week. Be adults. I shouldn't have to send out reminders. Support theJEDMAN. Support the blog. theJEDMAN
