Kenneth Brock, that is me. I spend my days blogging and I figured I would share some things while I am doing it... So basically that is all there is.

I have to feel bad for athletes like Rick Ankiel of the St. Louis Cardinals. He had an inexplicable mental lapse in the playoffs and eventually dropped off the map as a pitcher. When he was in the minor leagues trying to work his way back up, he endured thousands of fans making fun of his plight. Last year, after tons of work, he resurfaced as an outfielder, something unheard of in modern baseball: a pitcher turned full time outfielder! Of course, people were ready and willing to break him down in any way possible. They found out he got HGH for surgery in 2004, and all of a sudden his amazing comeback story dropped off the map. I am tired of people trying to tear this guy down! He has a great accomplishment that no medically prescribed hormone can take away.

When I spent my childhood in New York, one big problem we had was with the basement flooding. We couldn’t use the area for anything but storage, and we were even cautious about using it for that, as water constantly damaged everything down there. When I moved out on my own, I made a promise to myself to never let that happen again. Now, I enjoy my basement with the help of B-Dry® System Wet Basement Waterproofing Process. Not only do they repair water damage incurred over years of bad basement drainage, they also put steps into place to prevent it from ever happening again. Now, I have a cozy den in my basement instead of a water-damaged storage unit!

Here is a great video I found by someone on YouTube. They actually took the time to animate this video frame by frame to make Cartman look like Terrence and Phillip. In it, he is singing one of the greatest songs from the greatest band of all time, Styx. It is significant to me because the character Cartman on South Park reminds me of my nephew Jamie. A little hellion that does nothing but cause trouble and manipulate people. Of course, Styx is my favorite band. The artist is credited at the beginning of the video:

I have always wanted to travel the world, but have never really had the funds to follow my dreams, until now. Since the advent of the internet and travel sites like Holiday Hypermarket, I can now afford to go more places. Holiday Hypermarket is a European-based travel website that specializes in finding me the best deals to places I want to go. Finding last minute deals is fun and exciting, because I never know where the deals will lead me! Whether you are looking for holidays in Algarve or wherever your money can take you, you will find top notch deals through Holiday Hypermarket.

All other countries have inferior potassium, at least according to Borat. My nephew convinced me Borat was a funny movie that was well worth the purchase price. Since I found it for $6 dollars on Black Friday, I figured I would give it a shot. Now I understand why everyone was talking about it a few months ago. It is absolutely hilarious, and the only people stupider than hapless Borat himself are all the Americans he encounters. One guy actually supports executing homosexuals! All in all, it was a funny movie, but also startling that we have these weirdos living in our back yards, the folks Borat hung out with.
