Random Thoughts over a 420 at Raging Burrito

I won't lie. Sometimes I think that I should have given this blog a less specific name so I wouldn't feel guilty about writing so often about subjects that have nothing to do with Atlanta sports. This has gotten more pronounced since I got linked to Mark Bradley's page at the AJC. I feel like I have to live up to the title.

I wanted to do a post about how doing a bracket is dumb. Now, it seems a little late.

The girl next to me hasn't had a sip of her Stella since I sat down. These are the sorts of things that I notice.

Good omen department: I worked late last night and listened to the Braves game on the way home. They scored three times of of Dontrelle on my commute home. Should I be happy that the Braves have a great record in the spring or sad that Francoeur is no better? He did draw a walk while I was lsitening last night. Omen?

This season of Friday Night Lights has been outstanding. Even better than the first seaons. Between FNL, the Office, 30 Rock, and SNL, I guess we are an NBC household.

Signs that my man card should be revoked: last week, Der Wife's US Weekly arrived at the same time as my SI. I read the US Weekly article on Jason and Melissa first.

Tommy Hanson has me giddy. If only he and Naftali Feliz could be our one-two for the next decade. So much excitement; so much regret.

The podcast will kill (or at least dramatically alter) sports talk radio.

    A 420 at Raging Burrito would be great right now. Their tacos are pretty good too.

    My all-time ranking of area burrito places:

    1) Tortillas: RIP, but why did it take 45 minutes to get a burrito?

    2) Burrito Art: Near Emory. Deserved a better fate.

    3) Raging Burrito

    4) Willys: Copyright and trademark law protect all sorts of ridiculous things, but they couldn't stop Willy from getting ripped off by a another, now-bigger, burrito chain. (See also Rosa's Pizza in downtown Atlanta).

    5) Chipotle: I like the barbacao (sp) and jasmine rice. I also used to go to the very first one in Denver. Was in an old Jack-in-the-Box building. For a chain restaurant,good stuff.

    Tickets now on sale for AC Milan and Club America at the Georgia Dome July 22. Are you leaving the Raging Burrito for the match?
