Hello, and welcome to the “all new” Ramblings and Disorganized Drivel of Hooligan D blog. I am the hooligan, the “D” stands for Don and this is my blog.

I began this blog five years ago because I am a sucker for peer pressure (everyone else was doing it) and it seemed like it could be fun. When I began the blog it really had no direction and blindly I had no idea how or what I was doing so unless you’d enjoy some goofy poems I wouldn’t even bother with the archived posts prior to 2011.

The new direction with the blog will be along the lines of what the name suggests; ramblings and disorganized drivel. Basically it will be whatever I feel like talking about at the time. It could be a vehicle to display any new artwork I have created (did I mention that I am an artist), a talk about sports (rants about my favorite teams and their inability to keep me from having to rant about them) or maybe even a goofy poem now and then. Mostly it will probably be about my favorite subject and that is music. I have an extensive library and knowledge of music (I think that I could have done really well on that old Rock N Roll Jeopardy show that was on VH1 for a few years) that I feel like sharing with the world.

Some of the music will be well known to most while others will be very obscure and probably unheard of for the most part. It will not be album reviews because I can’t stand and usually disagree with critics anyway, but will be more of here is this group, this is their genre and a few samples so you can decide for yourself. I know that personally I have discovered some of my favorites groups by accident through a music review or just thumbing through the discount section in a music store and trying a band that just has a cool or unusual name.

Currently I am planning on this being a weekly blog, but may change that as time goes on. I do not know who, or if anyone will read my blog, but I figure, even if no one does, it will still give me a creative outlet to talk or ramble on and will, hopefully, keep me from just aimlessly staring at the same handful of websites for hours at a time.

So, with that, “Le……………….t’s get ready to Ramble!”

The Sports Of Kings (or of a Pauper)

Welcome back my friends, to the blog that never ends! We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside!

Good Tuesday evening to ya! How are you? If there's anybody out there, and if not, then I guess I'm talking to myself. And if that is the case and I really am talking to myself then "I'm fine". Thanks for asking!

Week number one of my fantasy football team went less than perfect but the experience was still pretty cool. I lost but to the best team in the league. My team score was 77 and that would have beaten 7 out of the 9 teams in the league but I guess that doesn't matter, it still shows up as 0-1 on my record. Hopefully we'll redeem ourselves this weekend. This is my first time trying the fantasy league. It puts an interesting twist on the weekly games because now, not only do I route for my favorite team (New England Patriots, it was forever the Houston Oilers but when they ceased to exist I reserved the right to change and went with my second favorite, the Patriots) but now I also route for certain players on other teams that I wouldn't normally care about. Win or lose (not true, I hate losing) it gives me something to do online other than download or record music!

I live in Michigan (it's not Hell but you can see it from here) but I have never cared for any of the state professional teams. My whole life I have been a Boston Redsox (looks like the curse just took a year off) fan my whole life, through all the tragic endings (Bucky Dent, Bill Buckner, Aaron Boone). Heartbreak after heartbreak! In football (as stated above) I loved the Houston Oilers from day one, Earl Campbell,Warren Moon, but one day they packed up and headed to Tennessee, never to return! I do route for the Titans but cannot bring myself to call them my favorite! Basketball (which is my favorite sport) belongs to the meadowlands. For inexplicable reasons the New Jersey Nets have always been my favorite. Even through all the years of being the league's doormat. And now there going to move them to Brooklyn! It shouldn't be allowed and I still have not decided whether I will still call them my favorite or not! In hockey my heart also belongs in the meadowlands as I am and always will be a New Jersey Devil! They were my first and only champions until the Bosox a couple years back!

Baseball is pretty much over for the Sox, with no hopes of the playoffs. When that happens and the Sox are no longer in contention I become a fan of ANYBODY but the Yankees!

I've probably taken up enough of your (or mine if I'm the only one listening) time for one evening so I guess I'll say goodbye! Goodnight America..............wherever you are!
