Bolded the ones I find to be cool.
A-Rod getting 400 home runs… insane. He’ll turn 30 in July.

3/29/05 House
Tuesday, March 29th, 2005So, now we know officially that Voegler (spelling?) is a manipulative jerk. Chase is feeding him information, so now he’s tied to him. He’s approached Cameron and Foreman, as well. So, he’s talked to all 3 and is trying to manipulate them. House chooses Chase - Voegler says to choose someone else. House says no and Voegler says choose someone else or it’ll be the department.
During the episode, House also proposed that they all take a 17% pay cut and all stay for the same amount of money. But, Voegler says that that is not the point, that he needs to know that when he tells House to do something, House will do it and House needs to know that as well.
To cap it off, next weeks episode is a rerun. So, we’ll have to wait. No idea what’s next. Can’t even harbor a guess.

patrickokeefe.com is mine!
Tuesday, March 29th, 2005Years ago, in an Internet far far away, patrickokeefe.com was available. One Patrick O’Keefe took this for granted. It was then registered by another Patrick O’Keefe (not the most unique name in the world). patrickokeefe.net was also registered.
Zoom to the present. patrickokeefe.com has expired, is available and I registered it. Excellent. No one is going to cybersquat on me when I’m famous, no sir!
I think I am going to stick with pokeefe.com for my blog just because I’ve been using it and I like it.

Sunday, March 27th, 2005New York Daily News: Godzilla Star Like No Other
Sunday, March 27th, 2005… the Yankees would like him to ink an extension, ensuring he’ll remain in pinstripes for the foreseeable future.
Matsui isn’t interested. Not because he wants to test free agency, not because he believes he’ll flourish on the open market, but simply because his original plan was to demonstrate his value over three years, and that is what he believes he should do.
…
The Yankees, of course, would prefer otherwise. Still, they understand that Matsui’s belief is genuine and not an indication he wants to leave them. In fact, Matsui has mentioned that, ideally, he’d like his career to have symmetry: Ten years playing for the Giants, followed by 10 years in the Bronx.
For those who question Matsui’s intentions, consider his farewell to Japan: In a lengthy press conference that essentially captivated a nation, Matsui tried to explain his decision to come to America and, almost tearfully, said he hoped he would not be considered a “traitor.” Despite being at peace with his choice, he was worried about being labeled wagamama, or selfish.
“It was a possibility that concerned me,” he says through an interpreter. When it was pointed out to him that those kinds of feelings aren’t common among American athletes who frequently embrace free agency and the ability to change teams, Matsui shrugged his shoulders and said simply, “It’s who I am and how I felt.”
…
“I just do what I feel is right,” he says. “I think that is the best way for me to be.”
He’s really everything you could want, as far as I am concerned.
