Cake: "Sick of You"
The last two weeks haven’t been the best in the world of Sheridan. Oh, I could certainly regale you with woeful tales for what passes for my life, but I’ll save all of that for my nearly completed memoir. The hardcover should do well, but the trade paperback will draw a larger following from a less mobile income group, which will fully appreciate the sheer folly for what passes...

Miami Heat Suffer 4th Straight Loss - Photo Says It All
In the course of human history, no one but the legendary Miami Heat President Pat Riley has assembled a finer basketball team, but it has one tragic flaw. It can't find a way to close out games. A team assembled with championship aspirations has lost four-straight games, and it has become abundantly obvious that neither LeBron James or Dwyane Wade are Kobe Bryant closers.

Well-Dressed Cyclist Conquers Urban Jungle
Forty seconds into the video, the cyclist nearly hits a dog. At that moment, I realized this had something on the glitz and glamour of ESPN's X games. Some of these jump ramps look like they were cobbled by a bunch of fifth graders.
At the 3:30 mark, the viewer can discern that the cyclist is wearing a men's suit.
This race is wild.
Where is ABC's "Wide World of...

Nature is reporting that mankind may have unleashed the sixth known mass extinction in the Earth’s history, which should ameliorate the depression Cleveland Cavalier fans are feeling.

Based on the Knicks recently beating the Heat, Carmelo Anthony...

Mimicking Birds with "Burning Stars"
This song is a pleasant way to gradually confront the dawn, or experience as your battling insomnia with the wind whistling through the the eaves of your house. As the temperature contines to fall below 20F, the house is experiencing its own climate change.
Mimicking Birds will release "Burning Stars" on March 9th, which is emblazoned all over the YouTube clip. Go pick...

What baseball team should I root for?
What baseball team should I root for?
Following the flow chart’s questions, and answering them truthfully, it has been decided that I should root for the New York Mets. In a strange coincidence of life meeting flow chart magic, I identify myself as a New York Mets fan.

Sports Writing At Its Finest - Manchested United vs. Chelsea
Rarely is there a game story that I am impressed by. It is hard to create art, in our 24 X 7 need-to-know-fifteen-minutes-ago culture, but sometimes a sports writer can overcome these difficulties. If you read yesterday’s Good Reads in "Sheridan", I was impressed by the Boston Globe's Julian Benbow’s game account of the Celtics versus the Jazz, but it doesn’t...

For Christina Aguilera - Lucero's "Just That Kind of Girl"
Runnin' down this street
She was drunk when she kissed me
I know better than to think
Fallin' in love so easily
She's just that kind of girl

This video is D-I-Y at its finest.

All Bloggers Have to Submit their own Charlie Sheen Post - Here It Is
Wisconsin is an afterthought. It is so last week. Protesting teachers and students are compelling images, but video of the self-destructive, chemically enhanced, narcissistic and new King of Twitter, Charlie Sheen, has awakened a legion of followers who simply enjoy watching the self-destruction of a popular sitcom actor.

Nicholas D. Kristof on Charlie Sheen
From Nicholas D. Kristof's Facebook page:
So if television "news" is so addicted to Charlie Sheen, how can we get some real news out of this? A few suggestions, and I'd welcome yours: 1. Sheen could seek help (camera crews in tow) from a typical underfunded California drug rehab facility with a 2-year waiting list. 2. Sheen could fly off to Libya for R&R. 3...

Today's Good Reads
Here are some good reads from today's newspapers and blogs.
I should probably add this feature to the blog more often. In the long American tradition of piggybacking on other people's work, this could be a winner. It would save some typing for myself. It's not as if I'm not directing readers to the individual sites - so we're all winners.

Tim Pawlenty''s Over The Top Campaign Ad
Presuming it will only be a mere formality, when the former Republican governor of Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty, announces he is running for the Oval Office, but this political ad is layered with not so subtle fear-mongering undertones.

Movies that Make You Cry: Brian's Song with James Caan
Before the world was lulled to sleep by the Academy Awards, CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Mo Rocca aired an interesting segment on the diasappearance of weepies from the local cinemaplex.
Rocca defines weepies, as movies that trigger an emotional response, and he has selected “Brian’s Song” and “Terms of Endearment” as perfect examples of these pull-at-the- heartstring...

The Oscars
The Oscars are less than two hours away and has the accounting firm of Drab White Guy and Another Drab White guy tabulated all of the results? If the Oscars were run like a Jerry Jones’ Super Bowl, the contractors would be nailing in seats, as I write, and the voting results would be scattered around a conference room to be counted by "New Jack City" naked bean counters.

A Saturday Morning Spent with My Punk Rock Pandora Algorithm
Sitting down in the front of the computer, on a cold Saturday morning in February, I fired up Pandora, as I was reading Zadie Smith’s New Yorker piece on “The Social Network”, “Generation Why?” Could I drop anymore names or references in an opening paragraph?
So, I’m listening to Pandora, which was the point of all this, and here are its opening tracks at around 8:00 AM:

Boston Celtics: Perk Was Almost Traded to Turkey for Allen Iverson
The Celtics sending Kendrick Perkins to the Oklahoma City Thunder is endlessly more fascinating than the New York Knicks acquiring Carmelo Anthony, or the New Jersey Nets dealing for Deron Williams, because the Celtics were considered the odds-on favorite to come out of the Eastern Conference and battle the Los Angeles Lakers for NBA supremacy. The San Antonio Spurs or the Dallas...
