Early Final 4 prediction from a guy who watches Homeward Bound: Incredible Journey every day instead of studying college basketball game film. Then again, aren't I just like every other fan?

Even though college football hasn't even started, here is my early season preview of the 2007-2008 college basketball season assuming there aren't many major injuries or suspensions to the players or coaches on the teams that I pick to go far in the NCAA tourny : ) Haha..."Injured coach"

Champ: Tennessee Volunteers. They return everybody except the little people power forward who did nothing. They've added two great transfer players. They might have the best player in the country in Chris Loften. And, they should have defeated Ohio State last year then went on to lose to Florida in the championship game. But hey, this is just my opinion.

Rest of the Final 4: Washington State. C'mon, "they're due," and they actually are pretty good assuming they run that ole Wisconsin slow pace offense-defense-whatever-it-is. Okay, I've never actually seen Washington State play a game, but I know this team has two players from that US-under-21 team er whatever it is on their roster plus a large post-player named Bob Cowgill.

Michigan State. But only because I route for them. I actually think this team is overrated and so is Drew Neitzel. However, I guess maybe it is possible for this team to make the final 4 considering it will rotate about 20 4-star recruits.

Kansas. This team is coming into the season underrated, I swear. They have to have more talent than anyone in the country. And just Imagine if they still had David Padgett, J.R. Giddens, Julian Wright, Roy Williams, and maybe even Raef LaFrentz...think about Raef...

Other teams with mucho potential: UCLA, Georgetown, Memphis, Louisville

Overrated: North Carolina.

Underrated: Duke. Believe it or not. And trust me, I hate Duke as much as you do.

That about sums it up for now. The season is far away though kids. Now I must write a script for Homeward Bound 3: Shadow and Chance Gang Up and Attack the Kid from The Problem Child and Call Him a Little B*tch.

What ever happened to those child actors from the movie The Sandlot?

Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez. Rumor has it Benny discovered hardcore porn then he gave up baseball and no one ever really heard from him again.

Scotty Smalls. Rumor has it Smalls graduated from Harvard Law and was all set to work for NASA until he too discovered hardcore porn. No one ever really heard from him either. Geez. What's with these kids and hardcore porn?

Squints...Squints became a porn star.

Hamilton Porter a.k.a. Ham. Ham followed in the footsteps of Squints and became a porn star. You know him as The Great Hambino. Seriously, this is getting absurd with these little kids and porn.

Al "Yeah Yeah" McClennan. Yeah-Yeah tried real hard to become a porn star but just couldn't break into the scene claiming he didn't know the right people. Sure Yeah-Yeah. Sure.

Bertram. Bertram achieved more success than anyone from The Sandlot cast. First he got caught up in the 60's, but then he got caught up in porn and became the legendary porn star "Bang-Bang Bertram." Heroes get remembered, but legends never die Bertram.

The Beast/Hercules. Hercules gave up working with child actors and now only works with porn stars. Coincidentally, he still works with the cast from The Sandlot. Rumor has it they are all working together on a naughty sequel titled, "The Beast Pickles Benny Until Bang-Bang Bertram Intervenes."

That about sums it up ladies and gentlemen. Oh yea, and I have to mention that the naughty sequel opens with Benny drinking a 22 oz. beer at the bar watching previously recorded high-stakes poker screaming vulgarity directed towards Phil Hellmuth until he starts a brawl after he is asked to turn down his voice.

Don't you hate it when you're in the shower and you have an auditory hallucination of the phone ringing? Haha...

Back by popular demand...more pictures of my dogs!

I aimed the camera towards Shawnee/Young Shepherd then she looked at me and barked and the photo resulted in this...

It's about time...a picture of Tatum/Friend Yellow Lab Mix. If you've been following recent posts, you may know that Tatum is very camera shy. The only reason I got such a good picture of her here is because I bribed her with a treat, a "chicken popper" to be exact. Just look at her eyes zoomed in on that popper...

This picture looks like it good make a cover to a good birthday card or something. "My fat beagle wants to congratulate you on another year of aging you old bastard." It would have to be worded better than that, but you get the point.

It appears we have another fan of "chicken poppers"...Either that or these things just hypnotize dogs of all breeds!

Help! I need Tom Cruise!
Help! Not just any Tom Cruise!

Perhaps I have been too complimentary to the drug companies lately. Or perhaps I haven't been. I do know this, when there is a miracle drug that allows people to live without symptoms of psychosis (or it could be without symptoms of autism, substance-abuse, etc.) it's not going to be created by one of these people writing books called, "Why and how to stop taking your psychotropic drugs." Nope. Those people are going to be looking for new jobs. These miracle drugs are going to be created by the drug companies, that's who ya silly geese. And some people may say that the drug companies are only in it for the money. Well, if that's the case, then let me tell you that the money is in the cure, so if you want to make more money than Scrooge McDuck, develop a cure for mental illness you sexy drug companies you. And I do know this, if I die of liver failure at age 40 from taking so many damn psychiatric drugs, all of it would be well worth it as long as my brain is completely free of mental illness by age 39. 4 real. I doubt most of the mentally ill community comes off as whiny as me, but c'mon! How can you not want a cure oh so bad? I want to start doing something good for the mentally ill community, like starting some sort of way of collecting money then donating it all towards schizophrenia research. You know, something like that...We'll see Nick Papageorgio, we'll see...

Roooooaaaaaarrrr!!!!! - Chewbacca
Speak for yourself, moron! - That  short clip of the talking dog in the movie Billy Madison. Please tell me at least one of you has seen this.

It seems to me like drug companies try to help people seeing as how they make psychiatric meds, which are medications that help people. And it also seems to me like the ones who are out to make money are actually the people writing and selling books which claim that it is the drug companies who are out there to make money. But hey man, this is just me -- someone whom may or may not know what he is talking about. Sure, you can take my advice. Sure, you could. Or, you could quit taking your meds then find yourself masturbating to internet photos of Chewbacca again. You'll find yourself back here though. You might my friend. Like I said, I may or may not know what I'm talking about. Alright, so maybe drug companies could do a better job, but couldn't we all? Let's all give Chewbacca a round of applause for being such a good sport ladies and gentlemen. After all, he did lose the lead role in The Lost Boys to Corey Haim and then had to be heckled relentlessly throughout "Corey Mania." I wonder if he was depressed about that. Anyway, can you imagine if Chewbacca had landed that role?...Feldman/Bacca MANIA!!!

Pharmacists should be paid more!
A saber-toothed tiger = a tiger whose tooth has been sabered...or better yet...A saber-toothed tiger = a tiger whom cannot stay sober?

My pharmacist has never f*cked up, whoever he or she is. I always end up getting the right medication and the correct quantity of it. Maybe I should give him or her (whoever they are) a tip. What do you tip a pharmacist these days? Maybe I'll take him or her out to dinner and buy them a big salad and some chili fries. Nah, I should just tip him or her instead. I figure I can't go wrong if I play that number. Or maybe I'll get him or her some flowers too. Wait, that's not my style. Perhaps I'll just get them a card basically saying... 'Thank you for always giving me the correct medication. Had you not have completed this good deed, you could have potentially given me the wrong meds only for me to quickly find out they interact horribly with each other leaving me and my delicate organs in some sort of psychotropic hell. Thank you Pharmacist, Zachary Odette. P.S. Dinner some time?"

Changing topics...I just wanna say that I'm the man, and when I go back to college this September I am going to ride a saber-toothed tiger to school named Mrs. Simey, and when everyone asks me where I got the tiger, or what the tiger's name is, or where I'm going to park my tiger, or anything stupid or obnoxious, I am going to say, "Shut up. Just shut up. Okay?"

How you've grown up oh so much over this past year Young Shepherd...

Here is an old pic of Young Shepherd taken in December 2006 around the time we got her. She is approximately 2 months old in this particular photograph.

And here is Young Shepherd today at approximately 10 months old. No burglar would tinker with this house alarm!

And here's a pic of Young Shepherd playing her favorite game -- peek-a-boo! Oh I'm sorry, now that she is 10 months old she refers to it as hide-and-seek. Peek-a-boo is for baby Shepherds she says.

And here is Young Shepherd keepin' it real with Uncle Chubby Beagle. Friend Yellow Lab Mix isn't in as many photos as these two huckleberries because she has a pathological fear of Pack Leader Zachary's digital camera.

I'll try to get more photos of my other two dogs (Uncle Chubby Beagle and Friend Yellow Lab Mix) as soon as I buy a real camera. Like I said, Friend Yellow Lab Mix is scared to smithereens of my digital camera all because it makes this funny, little noise when it is turned on.

I had to wait in line for two whole hours because Chewbacca was sweatin' out a decision on whether to get a foot-long Coney dog or two burritos. He ended up going Mexican and later pooped his pants. But it's okay, because he went on to save Christmas somehow...

I love pharmaceutical drug companies because their drugs have saved my life. When people call pharmaceutical drug companies evil, I want to defend the pharmaceutical drug companies. I've read that pharmaceutical drug companies are only in it for the money. If that's the case then while they were busy planning a money making scheme they saved my life while doing so. Weird. Thanks antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and antidepressants! You heard it here, psychiatric drugs saved my life. Ha. That should be the new title of this website. That would be a hoot and a holler. "Dude, you just don't realize 'cause you're addicted." C'mon hate mailers, get your heads in the game. What is worse?...A.) a hate mailer, or B.) a hacker? I'm not sure, but can you make money doing either? Probably not. When I get hate mail, I read it, then I delete it. It's more fun that way because if you don't respond then hopefully the hate mailer gets frustrated. Hate mailers just seem malicious most of the time.

Young Shepherd is back by popular demand.

Young Shepherd steps outside and is ready to play. "It's go time!" she cries out.

Then when we step outside, who do we see? None other than next-door neighbor Young Labrador!

The cheese stands alone, the cheese stands alone, la la la...

Okay, everyone turn to your right. Nicely done Young Shepherd.

Tom Cruise come and rock the sure shot.

I am not gonna make fun of Tom Cruise right now (at least I don't think I am), but instead ask the serious question -- what would happen if Tom Cruise started taking psychiatric medications to treat anxiety? Scientology would crumble. It would have to. That's my non-scientologist opinion. Think about it, everyone already says he's crazy, and he bad mouths psychiatry all the time...

"I've never agreed with psychiatry, ever." - Tom Cruise
"There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance." - Tom Cruise
"There's ways of vitamins and through exercise and various things." - Tom Cruise


...So maybe he does have anxiety in which he is treating through the ways of the scientologist? Maybe he'll crack any minute and resort to Prozac. Yea right, celebrities don't have anxiety. They can't. That is probably why they are all scientologist and make it well known that scientology rules and psychiatry is for losers. I have a potential theory that celebrity scientologists don't have anxiety so they just say, "Anxiety, sure, it's very treatable by eating healthy and running marathons. I know this because I eat healthy before my marathons and I have I ever had anxiety?...f*ck no." Blah. I don't know what I'm talking about. But I do believe this...

Scientology Kills!

Hey, I tell ya this, when I die, my body is being donated to psychiatry...whatever that means. People can run all sorts of tests and sh*t on my brain if they want to.

What is an addiction, really?
NEW poll! Submit yo answer!

Stop, drop, shut 'em down open up shop. That reminds me of something. I remember on Halloween in first grade, everyone was either a baseball player or Jasmine from Aladdin, not me though, I was Richard Dreyfus. Wait, that isn't what I meant to say. What I mean is, what if someone needed one glass of wine once a week, like that person truly depended on one glass. Would that person be considered addicted to alcohol? I mean, when I hear the term "addiction," I think of someone who uses a drug or alcohol every single day, often more than once a day, and when they aren't using drugs or alcohol they are trying to acquire them. But if a person needs alcohol once a week instead of constantly, isn't that still an addiction? It would just be a much less severe addiction, which is odd because I thought I heard once that drinking one glass of wine once a week is perfectly normal. Oh well, I don't care that much about this. What I do care about is all of you submitting your answer in the new poll on the bottom right menu!
