Oh man. Do I really need this?

This review was originally published on Epinions.com.

Leave it to Nintendo to create something so brilliant and flawed at the same time. Not only is their Wii console very hard to find, but now they have a game that’s equally hard to find.

Wii Fit is the newest innovation by Nintendo, which has been innovating and kicking console behind with its Nintendo Wii since its debut. Finding a Wii is a game in of itself. My boys have one at their mom’s house and I had to get one as well for my place. Finding it was tough as I had a few friends and family members who frequent Target, Walmart, and Toys ‘R Us far more frequently than I do, be on the lookout. I had to do the same thing with Wii Fit.

(Shout out to Nak, who found both of them for me.)

Ry-guy and Jady are celebrating their birthday’s tomorrow and as a precursor to the party, I have a short video of Ryland telling me how his fried rice tastes.

(The image may or may not be showing above, but just click the big play button and it will start playing.)

Happy birthday!

At least it’s better than him getting tea bagged.

I thought this was going to be hard for some, but too many of you now are readers of TMZ and Perez Hilton. I may have to start doing a historical quote feature or something now.

Here was the quote.

I am not wearing a thong. I just hiked my bathing suit up so I could get just the butt cheeks of my bathing-suit tan. I was lazy and I was tired and I just rolled over and was like, ?Dad, will you please put lotion on my back.? Jeez, he changed like my diaper and stuff. Seriously.

You were supposed to give me the name of the person and her “dad”.

Cactus Jim said, ”That?s gotta be Brooke Hogan talking about my second favorite American Gladiator announcer, Hulk Hogan, Brother.”

Your favorite blog game is back.

Some people will think this is easy.

Others will find this to be terribly hard.

I need the person who said this quote, and also who she’s talking about as “Dad”.

I am not wearing a thong. I just hiked my bathing suit up so I could get just the butt cheeks of my bathing-suit tan. I was lazy and I was tired and I just rolled over and was like, ‘Dad, will you please put lotion on my back.’ Jeez, he changed like my diaper and stuff. Seriously.

Who said this? Answer in the comment section.

The boys, my dad, and I went to the Giants game yesterday. We had great seats and had a fun time, except the Giants’ bullpen gave up the game. It was quite pitiful.

Sometime in the middle of the game, the umpire came over to where we were sitting and tossed a game ball to JJ. That was cool. I told JJ that I’d probably been to over 50 Giants game as a kid alone, and never did an umpire throw me a ball.

Bri-guy and I decided that maybe if we made it known that we wanted a ball as well, another nice person would give us one. Our best shot was either the ball lady or the Brewers’ pitching coach. There were three times that the fat Brewers’ pitching coach walked by us and instead of tossing out one of the balls, he just put it into his pocket. And of course, the one time he did throw a ball out, he threw one to a guy wearing an old Robin Yount jersey. So no ball for the Bri-guy.

Here are some pictures I took with my phone and put on Facebook.

If you believe this article, then Jason Priestley will not get the sideburns going again as the iconic Brandon Walsh. But the article has a quote from him which he acknowledges wanting to direct again.

“They’re talking to my people about seeing if they can slot me in over there. I directed more episodes of ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ than anybody. I directed 18 episodes.”

To this I say, throw some more money at these guys. If you add the old cast members in a way that helps with the ratings early on, this gives you some lead time into really getting the new characters over. I wouldn’t expect that any of the old cast members have a real continuing character that shows up on every episode, but if on week three, you teased the preview to next week with, “He’s been gone for 13 years, but he’s back, and he’s teaching Journalism,” I think you do a ton of viewers who wouldn’t watch the show regularly. And if the show is good, maybe you keep them.

Throw some money at these guys. Get them on the show.

This site is my personal blog. I am a divorced dad of two young boys, whom I love with all my heart. I’m single. I am great friends with my ex-wife and her new husband. I work in the Internet industry. I enjoy pro wrestling, MMA, and the regular sports like basketball, baseball and football. I have a fanatical love for things like Beverly Hills, 90210 and American Idol, so if that makes you uncomfortable, this may not be the place for you. But if you believe in the three words, “Donna Martin graduates!” then this place may be for you.
