Blue Jays 2014 Bobblehead Wish List

With the announcement earlier this week of R.A. Dickey and Jose Reyes becoming 2014 Blue Jays bobbleheads, I decide to make a list of the 3^rd and possible last bobblehead that could be chosen.  This list is in no particular order, but just a few guys I would love to collect as bobbleheads.

1. Joe Carter

For many Joe Carter was the World Series hero of the 1993 World Series with his game winning home run, which is why I think he deserves that moment to be immortalized as a bobblehead.

2. Buck Martinez and Pat Tabler

For me, these guys are like family.  I mean I get to hear them during the game, talking about their glory days (most of which are exaggerated or made up), or just interview old players.  What I like about them is that they’re always positive and never put down a player when their having a slow period, unlike some other announcer jerks.

3. George Bell

As far as I can remember he was my first Blue Jays hero.  The man could hit, and catch in outfield.  I know that the Jays did release his bobblehead a few years ago, but it was very limited and released during Spring training, so we’re due for a general release version.

4. Rance Mulliniks

I’ve always thought of Rance as being odd looking in a good way.  With his skinny frame and huge glasses this man is a real-life bobblehead.

5. Roy Halladay

One of my favorite Blue Jays of all time is Doc Halladay.  He was just such an inspiring player to look up to.  He was an amazing pitcher, and extremely altruistic off the field with his children’s charities.

Top favourite Christmas Movies

Well what can I say it’s December and unlike most adults I actually really love Christmas time. Sure the malls are packed, its cold outside, and having to spend money on presents for others instead of yourself really stinks. But luckily there are ways to help you get through the season without having to stab someone in the gall bladder.  Besides the snow, what I really love the most about this time of year is all the comfort food you can enjoy without having to measure your waistline because it’ll be covered up by sweaters.

Nothing beats a snowy night of junk food gluttony that’s accompanied by a good ol’ Christmas movie. So I’ve decided to name my favourite get-you-in-the-mood couch potato Christmas movies. Sure most of these films will have suffering and misfortune in them but like I always say, there’s nothing like other peoples miseries to make you feel good about yourself.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: This one stars Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid; not only is it funny, but it also has a sexy model working at a mall. Bonus points for being made in Chicago.

A Christmas Story: I love this movie because a ginger bully gets his ass kicked.

The Ref: An awesome Denis Leary movie before he became a commercial sell-out.

Friday After Next: Worth it just to look at the hot chick working at the lingerie store, plus Terry Crews is in it.

Bad Santa: 2 words; Fat kid (LOL).

Scrooged: Such a great film, with Bill Murray at his best. Bonus points for Santa fighting off terrorists.

Die Hard 2: Though I loved the 1st Die Hard, number 2 was my favourite because I love airports; plus Bruce Willis had hair.

The List: Top favourite things

Another new category I have wanted to add to my blog has been a list of my favourite things.  This list can be made up of music, foods, TV shows, movies, sports stuff, or just anything in general.  It was inspired by the movie High Fidelity, where a bunch of dudes spend the whole day at work making up a list of their favourite things.  I can relate to this movie because I’ve spent (wasted) numerous hours with my friends at work just making up lists as well.  But I now want to include this category in my blog to be able to talk about the things that I love.

Although I do appreciate people that can post a video or blog about a particular movie or song, I much rather just say a couple of words and be happy.  The best part is that I don’t have to take it seriously, it’s just something I want to do just to have fun.  Hopefully the people that will read it will either agree/disagree with it and post a comment, or I will inspire them to something new they have never heard about.  I’m also hoping that by adding a ‘top favourite list’ it will allow me the chance to be able to write more in my blog, and improve my writing skills (since I have difficulty expressing my opinions).
