#022 - Bang Up Job Big Ben

I apologize to all who expected a blog out of me yesterday! I was extremely busy at work, plus, I don’t know if it has been the same to YOU ALL, but Myspace is being a real pain in the ASS as of late! That Myspace technical support team that they forward problems to, is probably getting really fuckin tired of hearing from my fat ass! Only because Daddy didn’t raise no quitter, so when it gives me the log in error, I try to log in at least 20 more times…so that crack staff at Myspace.com know exactly what the FUCK the problem IS! If it isn’t resolved by the end of the week, I’m going to go recon, kidnap Tom, and hold him for ransom!

Onto better (yet dimmer) things.

I have once again had a current event come up that makes me question if common sense truly exists in the minds of anyone under the age of 25. Even while I was in my early adulthood, I will admit. I had no common sense. It sometimes takes a shock to your system to really bring you back down to a state of reality on par with the rest of the world. Flying face first into the front of someone’s windshield at 40 miles per hour usually does that for a fella!

In case you’re foreign, don’t watch any media outlet, live under a rock, you’re from Guam, you lick feet, you live under a bridge scare kids and kill squirrels, or hate sports all together, let me bring you up to speed.

A young man who plays for the NFL ,(National Football League) for the Pittsburgh Steelers, (the team I hate the WORST) may have pulled one of the biggest boneheaded moves I have ever heard of in my entire life. It seems that he, wanted to take his million dollar noggin, and play windshield tag while on his Sports Bike.

Let me break this down to you all. Ben Roethlisberger, the winning quarterback from the Super Bowl , a man who is worth at least 100 million dollars…EASILY! Ben decided to ride his motorcycle to the practice facility this past week. I understand, you’re a person, riding a bike isn’t against the law, but this 100 million dollar man, decided he wasn’t going to wear his helmet, he said in an interview last year that he was a cautious rider, and that he was very careful. There is no helmet law in Pennsylvania, so what the hell, I mean you’re only worth 100 million dollars!

Then on his way to practice…OOOPS, some old lady not paying attention turns right in front of him…suddenly, that whole helmet thing, wasn’t such a bad IDEA now was it? He smashes into the windshield of the car, and falls to the pavement in a pool of his own blood. Instantly transforming from Ben Roethlisberger, to Ben Roadkillburger! The extent of his injuries were pretty severe, but he will recover just fine, he scrambled his brains a little, lots of broken face bones and teeth, (7 hours of plastic surgery worth!) and some road rash on his knees. So it all comes out in the wash right?? WRONG, it seems the newest revelation in this story is the fact that he didn’t have a valid Pennsylvania motorcycle drives license to begin with, he only had a permit, and it had expired LAST MARCH.. Even if he had the permit, it clearly states ON THE PERMIMT, that drives using the permit as a license, MUST WEAR A HELMET!

Now to the points that I am trying to make about common sense.

Point #1- YOU’RE WORTH A LOT OF MONEY MAN!!!! Why would you risk ending your career for a hobby you can enjoy when you’re 32 and RETIRED!?

Point #2- You didn’t have your Pennsylvania Motorcycle license for a REASON BEN! Your too rich and too powerful in that area to have a single excuse, other than “I cant pass the safety test”, to not have an operators license!

Point #3- You can be the safest driver behind the wheel of ANYTHING, and you still have to worry about the stupidity of your fellow man. Just when you think that milk truck is going to stop for that stop sign, and your not on the brakes, is the instant he will blow through it, and make you a strawberry Milkshake colored splotch on the road. I don’t worry about myself when I get behind the wheel of the car, I worry about what that asshole in the BMW is doing after he flies by me at 85 miles per hour, weaving in and out of traffic while playing with the radio and text messaging Buffy to tell her how much he loves her (Daddies money). Defensive driving brother, it was shoved in our face at drivers ED!! Remember any of that Ben, or have you taken one too many shots to the head now??

Now that I’m done with my common sense rant, let’s hope he scrambled his brains enough to throw about 10 interceptions the Brows way this season! On THAT happy though, I will ask the QUESTION OF THE DAY!!!!

What exactly DID happen to common sense??? We had it as a nation at one point in time didn’t we? At this rate we’ll honestly tell our kids to go play in traffic, and think its safe!
