Jon and Kate plus Eight. Yeah...I'm actually writing about this

In the midst of what would be a multiple day hangover from my bachelor party, my fiance was watching a Jon and Kate Plus Eight marathon and I was powerless to stop it.

I was aware of the allegations of Jon "stepping out" on Kate and their marital problems and had seen a few episodes here and there but not enough to pass judgement. But I have now.

I took a few psycholgy courses in college so I'm more than qualified to identify what went wrong with them.

When the show first started they thought it was a nice and interesting way to document their kids growing up while getting them material things and free vacations. I'm completely on board with that reasoning. I can't imagine how much money it costs to take a family that size on vacations and they are going to need a ton of bank to put all of them through college later.

Surprisingly, the show became popular and Kate changed gears from having the show be a means to document their kids growing up into a springboard to become a media mogul. Now Jon doesn't work anymore to stay home with the kids while Kate is off travelling to do talk shows and book tours. That coupled with Kate always putting him down and interrupting him during interviews, it's not a surprise that they are on the outs.

Now if you don't mind I have go prepare my next blog post which will be about guns, beer and sports.

Could I have gotten a better game!

Thank god it was such a good game. It gave me my 2nd wind and enabled me to finish off my 17 and a half straight hours of drinking.

It's very weird to actually be at my own bachelor party. Fenway Park is beautiful. I don't use that word often, but it's what a baseball stadium should be

I tried to do the punching bag video game. I f'd up and now my fingers are bleeding. I've made a huge mistake

o an end

Got here at 7 and have been bar hopping. Wanted to see the 9th oh the Mets/Sox game so we're tourist trapping it at Cheers right now. Lame, but a means t

Boston is awesome! I can't wait to get there. Going on my 7th hour in the car for a 250 mile trip.

I can't imagine a more nightmarish drive to anywhere. On the road at 11am and according to GPS we still have 2.5 hours...and that's with no traffic.

Bachelor Party

I have my bachelor party this weekend. The Main Event will be Mets/Red Sox at Fenway on Saturday with a lot of drinking before and afterwards. I'm a die hard Mets fan and I've never been to Fenway so I'm looking forward to it. Since it worked so well the last time, I'm going to try to mobile blog throughout the weekend. Maybe when I get back it will help me remember some things that I may have lost this weekend.

Tragically Hip Wrap Up

Obviously the mobile blogging idea didn't really work out. I have no idea what it was during the concert that made it "real." Like most times I see a Canadian band, I partook a little too much in the pregame.

Solid show though.

This concert just became real.

Pregame: Drinking some Labatt Blues on the train listening to the new Hip album. I think I might do this with every new album I get. I'm having an infinitely better listen to it in this environment than the first time I listened to it. Now I'm actually hoping they play The Last Recluse

Tragically Hip - Nokia Theatre Times Square - New York City - 5/8/09

I went to college in Buffalo. Being so close to Canada I started to develop a taste for some things Canuck like Labatts, Molsen, poutine, Sloan and Tragically Hip. I actually lost touch with the Hip since I left college. Three albums came and went without a blip on my radar.

A few weeks ago, thanks in large part to Facebook mostly, I caught up with friend from college who was still very much into them. He asked if I wanted a ticket and here I am.

I'm going to live mobile blog it tonight
