Yes, I said it! This is coming from a fan who’s watched since day one. Why do I think it needs to come to an end? They killed off “Warrick.” Yes, I understand he was having real life issues but you didn’t need to kill the guy. The bigger problem is that “Grissom” is leaving. You can’t have “CSI” without him! He IS “CSI.” He’s being replaced by Laurence Fishburne. I can deal with that, maybe, but I can’t deal with this crazy ass storyline:

Fishburne’s character has a deep connection to his work: His genetic profile has been identified in serial killers, CBS programming chief Nina Tassler said before Fishburne’s casting was announced but as rumors swirled.

Excuse me? What the hell? The whole reason people watch “CSI” is for the science. I know, DNA results don’t come back in a day but you know what I mean. Now they are pulling this out of their asses? Serial Killer DNA? Are you kidding me with this bullshit? If they went with something brain related I might be able to roll with it, but DNA? No. I can’t.

The producer had the nerve to say this:

“What makes shows go off the rails is they forget who they are. We’re a crime-mystery-forensics drama” and that won’t change, Shankar said in July.

I’m sorry but with this crazy ass storyline, you have already changed. You’re reaching for straws hoping something “different” will grab new viewers and keep the old. In the end, this is going to backfire.

Please, just put the show out of it’s misery.

Dexter - The Complete Second Season is out today on DVD!

I remember when I was younger I needed 2 hands to count all the numerous celebrity crushes I had. Now it’s hard to even name a handful but I managed to do it for this post. I actually got this idea from the wonderful blog of SodaPop. She managed to name 10 but as you see, I only managed 6. I’m sure right after I hit “post” I’ll think of more but this works for now.

1. Hugh Laurie: I love him. I love Dr. House. I wish he was a real doctor. I’d sign up in a heart beat.

2. Brian Roberts: You should all know by now that he’s my number one baseball player. I’ve always had a thing for second basemen and it continues with him.

3. Chris Meloni/”Det. Stabler”: You know what the best thing is? The wonderful surprise you get when you Google search his name in an image search. Those who watched “Oz” know what I’m takling about.

4. Michael Phelps: Don’t get me confused with those bandwagoners. Since I live in Baltimore I’ve known about him for years. The world is late on the hotness and talent that is M. Phelps.

5. Kenny Chesney: As long as he keeps his hat on, we’re in business.

6. “Dr. Reid”: I love “Criminal Minds” and his character is wonderful. He’s my number one nerd and I love all the random crap that he manages to remember.

As you can see, I have a nice mix of guys. I have actors, atheletes and singers. It’s always good to have options and to cover your bases. Now excuse me as I start my planning on how I’m going to get my hands on Phelps once he moves back to the area!

Even though I know I shouldn’t, every day I log into my Amazon Associates account to see if anything’s been ordered via my links. I know I know, watched paint never dries or whatever.

I got a huge ass surprise when I logged in tonight. Someone, I have no idea who, bought a Kindle using my link. That’s a $359 product! I made $35.90 just off that alone! How fucking awesome is that? That means I’m actually going to get a payout next time around!

I send a huge “Thank You” to whoever it was that used my link. You didn’t have to but for whatever reason you did and I really appreciate that.

I am in love with the new design! I know you’re all wondering to know who did such an awesome job and that would be the amazing Teresa of Chic Blog Design. I had emailed her a few days ago just for an estimate and you see how well that worked out! She was able to work in my budget and still give me an awesome theme. I’m sure those of you out there who have shopped around for a custom design know how pricey it can get. I was beyond pleased to hear that she could not only do what I want but could do it for a decent price. The communication between myself and Teresa was perfect. She was quick to respond and ran ideas by me. She really wanted to make sure that I was going to be happy with the final outcome and as you can see, I am!

I have big news as well as I’ve been informed that Chic Blog Designs will be teaming up with Delicious Design Studio. I’m sure only wonderful designs will be coming out of this merger.

I started visiting the high school track last week. Normally on Wednesday I have softball but last week the other team couldn’t make it and we won by default. Instead of just sitting around I took my ass to the track for an hour.

Don’t be fooled, I didn’t run. I’m starting off slow with some walking and gradually I’ll move into running/jogging. I completed 1 1/4 mile on Wednesday followed up by 1 3/4 on Friday and Monday I only did a mile. Monday I actually did some running though which in my head balances out the fact I only did a mile.

The first time I went I didn’t take my iPod and boy, what a difference music makes. IMO, having music makes it much easier to work out. You’re not paying attention to how much time is left or how many more laps because of the music. You’re just moving along and rocking out to some tunes. What do I rock out to? A little Britney, Christina, Pink and Buckcherry plus some other stuff mixed in. I try to keep it all upbeat and fast though.

Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up this new habit and add onto my 4 miles that I’ve completed thus far.

I can’t wait for the new season! I wish an episode or two would leak already! In case you forgot, Season 2 hits store shelves August 19th. You can pre-order using the link below!

My mom told me the other day that I need to start reading about broader subjects and not just true crime. My response was I’ve read “Harry Potter” books, what more does she want?

I just have a hard time reading something when it’s not real. I’m not a fiction reader. Actually, now that I’m older I’m not a fiction reader. When I was a kid I’d read “Goosebumps” and I owned all the “Narnia” books as well. I read typical kids books, that’s what kids do! Now that I’m older though, I just find it more interesting to know that I’m reading about something that actually happened. I learn something while reading, even if it’s something random, odd and creepy.

Needless to say though, I do agree with her somewhat. I’d like to broaden my reading horizons. I’ve thought about trying some Patricia Cornwell books because they are thrillers and what not but not true crime, except for her “Jack The Ripper” book. I think her books would be an easy to “ween” myself off of my true crime habits. I’m thinking about picking up some Stephen King books as well. I’ve read a few and enjoyed them plus I always enjoy the movies his books are based on. “Misery” anyone?

I’m always looking for suggestions though, especially since Amazon has the “4 for 3″ promotion. They have this deal where certains book are 4 for 3. You buy 4 but the cheapest book is free. How awesome is that?

If you have any suggestions, leave them in the comments! Thanks.

How sad. He was only 50 years old too!

Comic actor Bernie Mac died early Saturday of complications from pneumonia, according to a family member and his publicist. He was 50.

Bernie Mac, 50, had been hospitalized in his hometown, Chicago, with pneumonia.

He had been hospitalized in Chicago, Illinois, for more than a week with the lung infection.

Danica Smith, the comedian’s publicist, had said Thursday that Mac’s condition was “stable,” The Associated Press reported.

“When I got the call this morning, it was just devastating news,” said Chicago Sun-Times columnist Stella Foster. “Let’s face it: Bernie Mac was one of a kind. He was the best of the best in terms of giving you a good laugh.”

Smith previously said the pneumonia wasn’t related to sarcoidosis, a lung disease Mac had, which had been in remission since 2005, according to AP.

Mac caused a stir in July with some jokes he made during a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, AP reported.

Mac — born Bernard Jeffrey McCollough — starred in the Fox television series “The Bernie Mac Show.” His film roles included the “Ocean’s Eleven” series, “Friday,” “Get on the Bus,” “Transformers” and “Bad Santa

I snagged both for a little under $20! How awesome is that? The only problem is they probably just added a * next to my name on some FBI Watchlist.
