U N L O A D E D

Well, my friends, the time has come for me to walk away from the computer and get a breath of fresh air. This season of U N L O A D E D has officially come to a close and the new season will begin on November 3rd. Mark your calendars!

Thanks to all who read and those who commented and sparked a nice discussion on the topics presented. You're all great.

An Invitation to U N L O A D

The hiatus does not mean the blog has to actually stop. If you'd like to U N L O A D with a guest post here then by all means drop me a line. Maybe the topic you wish to talk about does not fit with the scheme of your blog. This is your chance to do it elsewhere as you or any identity you choose. Write about what you want. It's just an idea and I don't expect to have any takers BUT it there if you want it.

Special Shout Out and Thank You

Before I go I'd also like to give a warm thank you and mention to the sensual and mysterious love goddess herself, Nellioness, for presenting me with The Awesome Guy Blogger award.

Nellioness said.....

"I like Ricardo and his ways. He is honest and fun blogger, whose blog is full of emotion, thoughts on life, sex beats, and masculine power. I personally visit him to get to know more about men. Thank you Ricardo, you’re an Awesome Guy Blogger, whether you like it or not."

Well Nellioness, I do like it. As a matter of fact, I love it and you may have shed some light on why I have so many female readers or......maybe women love reading about a male train wreck.

Nellioness has a great blog that pertains to one of my favourite matters; SEX. If such things make you squeamish, loosen up already and pay her a visit. If you enjoy the said topic, then by all means check her out. I intend to use some of her tips on the right lady when the opportunity presents itself. I'll stop there as I've said too much.

Scandalous

I will be adding some much needed testosterone to the estrogen laden gab fest known as Scandelous Bitches Live. I was a bit reluctant at first but since my good blogging friend Monique asked me, how could I refuse? I will be the selfish bastard among the bitches.

You can catch my special guest star appearance LIVE on 9/26 at 9PM ET. Just click the picture that looks like the one I have up here once you get to their site.

Be warned, I have no clue what will happen to me. Listen, call into the show, enjoy, be scandalous.

A Few Things to Chew On

Just a few topics to weigh in on before I go.

Killer MILF?

Let me just say that whenever a child goes missing it's a tragedy. Most people (including myself) truly hope that the child is found alive, in good health, and returned to their parents.

However, as the search for the missing child drags on, peoples minds begin to shift onto other things. Such is the case of Kate MaCann, mother of the the missing girl known as Madeline. The search for this young girl who went missing while the family was on holiday in Portugal has been all over the news. The case has even caught the attention of football (soccer) star David Beckham and British Billionaire Richard Branson. Both have vowed to help the family even after allegations have surfaced that the mother, Kate, might have killed her daughter. I don't buy that accusation myself but the bigger debate I stumbled on while cruising the internet is NOT if she killed her child, but if she's hot or not.

Is this depravity or simply human nature to get our minds off of the grim tone of the case?

Discuss!

Leave Brit Alone?

Look already, Brittany Spears will never be hot to me again for as long as I live. Too many stories about smelly feet, eating Cheetos and questionable actions to warrant a nod from yours truly. You've got the terrible performance at the MTV VMAs to cringe at and that crazy "Leave Brittany Alone" guy on Youtube keeping her alive and well in the headlines. All of it is distracting us from more serious stuff. You can't get away from this chick!

Then there was all the talk about her weight. Is this fat? No! Is it a bit of a gut? Yes! But nothing that a few minutes on a treadmill couldn't sort out. The rub to all of this? There are many women that would still love to have this body and many men that would be happy to have some of it every night. Would I prefer to nail a woman with this body type as opposed to some of the other singing starlets like Amy Winehouse who are in desperate need of a sandwich?

YEP!

These 2 types may not the ideal for fantasy but Brit's bod is certainly more preferable in reality.

Barry Bonds

His team of 15 years, the San Francisco Giants, doesn't want him back despite breaking Hammerin' Hank's home run record.

I wonder why?

Could it have been all the fucking steroids he used to cheat his way to the top and the fact his one of the worlds biggest assholes?

Nah, couldn't be any of those things.

Stupid Art Projects

Listen, I don't fucking care if you go to M.I.T. and have scholarships up the ass. If you walk into an airport with a circuit board stuck to a ratty sweatshirt and a wad of clay in your hand, people are going to take notice! Actually some people, known as airport security, will be happy to fucking shoot you!

What may be cute and whimsical on campus (your insulated world) usually won't work in the real world. What you and your dorm buddies find cleaver and intellectual is really nothing more than your wheels spinning in the mud. There is art, ladies and gentleman, and there is stupidity grafted into an unhealthy sense of self importance and narcissism. Sure, there are lots of smart kids in college, they're called the C students.

They, with the exception of our President George Bush, have one thing that the super scholarship kids don't have: COMMON SENSE AND BETTER HAIRCUTS!!!!

Sorry to be harsh babe, but you asked for it. Count your blessings that you even have a boyfriend.

Art or stupidity? Discuss!

Kid Nation

Well, those of you that have not been under a rock here in the US have likely heard, read or seem something about this show Kid Nation. In it, kids are left to run a town (or is it a commune or compound) out in the middle of nowhere and make things work without the aid of adults. It's Lord of the Flies all over again! And why not? That story ended so well! Let's try it for real? And even better, let's do the show in New Mexico where there are almost no child labor laws!!! And for the few laws that do exist, we'll get around it by calling it....."camp."

Ah, I smell a hit here. Actually, no, I don't.

The show is likely scripted with little if any reality and the kids on the show likely have parents that want their kids to be a "star." Then they can quit working and live off the kids riches. America is great that way. Too bad these parents didn't have the nerve of pursuing their own dreams instead of forcing their kids to make up for what they lost.

Some call it a legacy, I call it bullshit!

The Jena 6

Do I think there is still racial disparity in our justice system? Yes! Would I, in my right mind, ever live in the south? NO! Does this case surprise me at all? No! Have race relations hit rock bottom for the town of Jena? Yes. Can it get any worse? No. Am I sure? No. Can't we all just get along? I hope so.

And that's it for now everybody!! See you next season on November 3rd!!!!

And I'm not talking about moans of pleasure although if any woman out there wants to send me audio files of that they are most welcomed to. I'm all ears. But seriously my friends, I'm talking about the old pissing and moaning we all do now and again. The bitch session. The venting. The whining about things we simply just can't stand like.....being tagged with a meme! You all know how much I can't stand it yet you insist on doing it anyway. Well fine, you savages, I'll give you what you want.

The wonderful and lovely Liz over at Intelligent Gal's View on Life in Silicon Valley tagged me with this one. And while she knew full well that I would have a not so pleased reaction to being tagged, she really is wonderful and lovely.

This particular meme was spawned from the blog Freelance Cynic. And away we go.


4 things that should go into room 101 and be removed from the face of the earth.

Not sure what room 101 is but I can tell you about the latter. Does not sound like a place I'd want to be in.

UPDATE: People in the Sun just informed me that room 101 is from 1984. I should have known that!

1. Memes. Let me say it again for all of you that might have missed that: M-E-M-E-S!!!!

2. Religious nut jobs that mask bigoty behind biblical passages to justify their stupidity. That Mars space station they they talk about now and then may have a real purpose.

3. American Idol. I'm just sick of hearing about this show (and what Simon said to whoever or how drugged Paula was) and being hit with BAD music. Look at any musical legend in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and realize (in sheer horror) that NONE OF THEM would have made it onto the show. Why? Because they didn't fit the mold and not fitting the mold is what made them great. American Idol or processed elevator music? Stick with formula and you'll get the latter. Some of you may ask what of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood? These 2 seem to be exceptions to my statement depending on your musical tastes. All I can say is that time will tell if their music really had the stuff.

4. Barry Bond's home run record. He's broken it and no is excited because he's an arrogant prick and cheated to get there thanks to steroids. A superb ball player before juicing up, Bonds went from a slim, trim 185 pounds to 240 pounds of solid muscle in no time flat. Not only that, his head actually grew and he went up several hat sizes! At a time when his career should have begun it's slow decline (he miraculously bulked up at 34 years old) Barry actually began hitting more home runs than ever. He's now 42 and still nailing them out of the park. The former record holder, Hank Aaron, won't talk to him. The Major League Baseball commissioner has refused to clap if he's at a game where Barry hits a home run. What does that tell you?

3 things people do that make you want to shake them violently.

1. Little people (in terms of character) at the workplace who have a little authority and use it at every moment than can to feel important and special. I don't currently have this issue now but I did at my last gig and it was just awful.

2.The "Soccer Moms" that I encounter on my way to work in their Hummer, Mercedes or BMW SUVs that tailgate me and weave in and out of traffic at 95 MPH while their kids jump around in the backseat unrestrained. Now if one of these women were to crash into me, who's who's fault it would be? Not theirs, and they have the money to make it so. It is I who would be branded the danger to the community and the children.

3.People that have several gas pumps open in front of them yet stop at the 1st one making you either:

A. Wait longer to fuel up your car or....
B. Make you have to drive around in an awkward manner to get to the open pumps.

These idiots are also the only people who will take the time to check their oil and use that stupid windshield cleaner (that's been sitting in a filthy window washing solution) to wipe their windows.

2 things you find yourself moaning about.

Memes.

My commute to work.

1 thing the above answers tell you about yourself.

I hate memes.
