theJEDMAN NATION-A New Wave Manifesto

Documenting the JED Experience

Sunday, I dominated on Saturday. UCLA and Florida both won big. That is the final game I picked in my bracket. I closed out the championship before the final game. The prize is $1500 cash. I'm theJEDMAN. I dominate. I'm not buying. The life of the JEDMAN is always intense. This is secondary to what else happened on Saturday. I got to hang with theQUICK at Bucklin's birthday party at Tim Kenedy's bar. This is no slight to Bucklin, but theQUICK is awesome. This reminds me of the glory days of theQUICK. theQUICK used to call me up on a Saturday night about 7:00 and say, "What up. Get over here." I would go over about 9:00 and watch theQUICK play video games for until 11:00. Then, theQUICK would take a shower. Then, we'd go full fuorce into the port about 11:30. At 3:00 AM we'd hit Quick Trip for some Chili Dogs. It was awesome. It was intense It is theQUICK. The life of theJEDMAN and theQUICK is always intense. Wherever you go I go with HUGO.

Well, I'm in the driver's seat on my bracket. I'm going to win it all. Currently, I'm in fourth place, but I have Florida and UCLA in the title game. I have UCLA winning it all. So, if both teams win on Saturday, I win it all. If UCLA wins on Monday night, I win it all. Any combination of one win and I finish in 2nd place. If they both lose, I get nothing. I'll have my bracket wrapped up Saturday and all of the $150 winner's share. 2nd place pays around $75. I'm awesome. I'm theJEDMAN. The life of the JEDMAN is always intense. theJEDMAN

I cruised T-Town. I got to hang with thQUICK. theQUICK is awesome. We ate some chicken wings. Then, I destroyed him at disc golf by several strokes. It was a beating, a display of total domination. We played at Ocean Shawnee by his T-Town mansion. I lost a disc in the ocean. On 17, I just threw it and it curved into the ocean. Those things don't float. Then, on 18, you have to throw it over the ocean. The tee is well set back from the ocean. I was chicken. So I walked up to the ocean. I tried to throw it over the ocean, but it still hit the water. It was close to the beach so I was able to get it out. It was my lucky orange disc. I didn't want to lose it. After golf, I dominated theQUICK at the trivia game ESPN's Scene It. It is really scary how much sports trivia I know. I mean I got a downhill skiing question right. I even knew what kind of shoes the refrigerator wore in Super Bowl XX. I killed him. It was total domination. theQUICK is awesome. T-Town rulz. The life of theJEDMAN is always intense. theJEDMAN

"Negative energy just makes me stronger. What ever happened to the Stones at the coliseum or the Who at the King Dome. Where are the Iron Man's and the Misty Mountain Hop's of our generation. This band will persevere. This weekend, we rock Portland!" I caught the 1992 movie SINGLES on the cable the other night. It was a Seattle young people looking for love set around the grunge scene. It is funny. Matt Dillon was so funny in that. I was dying laughing. Briget Fonda was super cute in this movie. She was in a lot of movies at this time. Brad screwed me one time when we tried to see POINT OF NO RETURN. This was an awesome Briget Fonda movie at this time. We eventually saw it, but Brad almost ruined it. theJEDMAN

I sometimes go to a park close to my old neighborhood to walk. It is a nice park with a small lake and a trail. There are water fowl there this time of year. There is a big sign that not only says not to feed the water fowl, but why not to feed them. I never fail to see someone feed the fowl. Today, this mom and her little daughter had a whole loaf of bread feeding the fowl. The little girl was pelting the Canadian Geese with little chunks of bread. She was running after the geese and throwing bread at them along with her mom right in front of the DO NOT FEED WATER FOWL sign. What are these people stupid? Read the sign. You are breaking the law. It is just like in 95 Bon Chap had a hissy fit at the Barcelona Zoo when people were feeding the elephants. in front of the no feeding sign. These are not American Geese. They are Canadian Geese. They are going to fly back to Canada and inform all Canadians that people in the USA can't read. I could see the geese peck the little girl into tears. Then, her Overland Park mom would sue the city and the geese for it claiming ignorance and that there should have been somewhere there to stop them, like that bald doofus in the Royals hat walking around the trail.

I've been to a couple more Arena games. They are pretty good. The cheerleaders are almost worth admission. The thing that is best is the $6 beers. I think that the more expensive beer is the better it is. There is nothing like bud light in a plastic cup. It just tastes better. I think because so many people drink the beer, it is really fresh. Fresh beer is better. I just like the tap beer. The Brigade isn't as good as the beer. They've only won one game, but they've really have been taken to by the football crazy Kansas citians. That beer at the Tanner's in the plastic cup is pretty good. They probably sell a lot of bud light there.

I've been watching a lot of TV lately. Most of it is crap, but one show that is interesting is that show about pop singer Lisa Loeb. It follows her dating life in New York City. It is great. She is super cute. Women are either hot, beautiful, cute or a combination of all three. That crazy Spears girl is hot. Shania Twain and Salma Hayek are beautiful. Shakira is all three. Lisa Loeb is super cute. She has that good combination of a smarty, sophisticated, reserve coolness about her. I would date her. She's super cute, but she goes out with a ton of doofuses on the show. This one guy made several racial slurs about Jewish girls and then said that helping people was so boring. Needless to say that ended the date. I'd like to get on that show, but I'm afraid that security would take me away in a refrigerator box if I got to close to Ms. Loeb. That would be intense. The life of theJEDMAN is always intense.

I found out that the new coffee house, Scooter's, by my house is a chain from Nebraska. Nebraska, I got the pulp beat out of me one night in Nebraska. This place is no good. I took my own cup in there and they charged me just as much as if I used their cup. That is not right. They seem to be perpetrators of evil. I'm just going to go to Quick Trip.

I'm getting older and I have to go get tests down to see that I am healthy. Because of family history, I had to go get my colon checked. It was great let me tell you. To prepare for it, I was not allowed to eat for a day and I had to take of all these laxatives and drink a bunch of stuff that smelled bad and was worse coming out. It was hell. I didn't know I was carrying around so much stuff. Anyway, I didn't sleep well and then I had to run to the bathroom all the time and the smelll was horrible. I went to the hospital feeling bad. Then, they put me to sleep and it was over. You go to the hospital. They get you naked and then strangers put you to sleep. It is great and they say there is no trust left in the world. I have pictures if you want to see them I'll send out copies. I have to worn you, I'm far better looking on the outside. By the way, everything checked out ok. I'm totally clean. I have to do that in another five years. I guess I'm doing this every five years for the rest of my life. That could be 9 or 10 more times. No fun.

I'm on vacation. Some people call it Spring Break. I was going to go to Cabo San Lucas, but I couldn't get a good flight, so that fell through. Then, I was going to go to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, but that fell through with my little colon check. So, now I'm going to T-town tomorrow to see theQUICK. T-town is the capital of the state of Kansas. Got to love theQUICK. We might play some disc golf at Lake Shawnee. It will be intense. The life of theJEDMAN is always intense.
