Thoughts

Posted on October 27, 2023 by AverageAndy

I have lots of thoughts throughout the day and really need to write some of them down on this blog. Most of my writing is done on a desktop / laptop and by the time I have some time, I forget about what I was going write about. Going to work on jotting down some things, and then finding more time to write them here.

I don’t know why but the latest shooting in Lewiston ME hit me pretty hard. While all these shootings over the past 20 years are awful, and I feel sad every time I see another one pop up in the news, I think I was more upset about this one because it just feels to common. Looking back, when these mass shootings in the late 1900s and early 2000s, started, they would take over the news cycle for days, and people from all sides were angry and upset. But as time has gone by, the shootings have become more and more of a platform for political parties to taut there views, and less and less about the hundreds of victims and their families / relatives / friends whose lives are forever changed. And the fact that there are still people out there (both professional and normal citizens) who continue to use their platform and social media to promote that these shootings are fake and staged by the Democrats really makes me sad. I am sad that there are so many people out there who have been sucked in by politicians and social media to believe that everyone is bad, that everything is bad, and that the world is out to get them. As a Country we do a horrible job of promoting the great things society has accomplished, the great advancements in technology, science and medicine that have made things better for everybody. Instead of celebrating achievements, we complain about everybody and everything.

We all need to smile more, spend more time with family and friends, and just enjoy life to the fullest

Switching gears. After watching Survivor since the beginning, it still fascinates me to see how some people are natural leaders with high levels of charisma and drive to do their best and win at all costs, while others are natural followers and content with their place in line and not that passionate about winning. Usually, the more charismatic players go further in the game.

Looking back over the past 45 Seasons and the over 650 contestants, there is a small group of players that are highly memorable (For numerous reasons). For the rest, they just tend to blend together and are pretty forgettable. I have always wondered why this is. What is it that makes some people more memorable than others. Was wondering if there is a way to measure memorability

One of my ideas would be to have a table with 10 average people as judges. Then in groups of 100, people walk by and introduce themselves and shake hands with each judge. After each group is done, the judges write down the names of the people they remember and the 5 people with the most votes move on. The 1st round would be open to everybody and can be done in different cities (like the early rounds of American Idol) The next rounds would consist of the people who were remembered walking by a new group of judges. You would continue until you find the most rememberable person.

Ordered a binder for Rittenhouse Archives “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” card set. One I get my binder I will open the sealed box I picked up at the Philly Non-Sport Card Show a few weeks back and will post pictures of the cards I got. Been a while since I purchased a box of cards – Boxes of Cards use to be around $60.00, but are now going for around $125.00, so need to pick and choose more carefully. Even at the higher cost, I still enjoy opening a box of cards and being surprised on what I get, more then simply buying individual cards on E-Bay.

Hopefully the NY Giants can continue there whining ways against the NY Jets this weekend. Hard to believe that even how bad they have played, a win would put then in the play-off hunt at the 1/2 way point of the season. GO BIG Blue

G is for the G in New York Giants

Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, and NY Giants

Posted on October 23, 2023 by AverageAndy

The Rolling Stones released there 31st studio album Hackney Diamonds and it is really good. I am not the biggest Rolling Stones fan, but have to give them credit for what they do and how long they have been doing it. Out of curiosity, I gave the new album a listen, and was really surprised how much I liked it. Have been humming the 1st 2 singles, “Angry” and “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” (With Lady Gaga singing and Stevie Wonder playing the Keys) for the past week. Its a great song and sounds like the classic stones of the past. In true Rolling Stones fashion, they played a small gig in New Your City for 700 or so fans, and played some of the new songs. Job well done, and I really needed this to boost my spirits.


In other classic rock news, was really great to see that the great Robert Plant sang “Stairway to Heaven” for the 1st time in 16 years, and the 1st time ever solo at a special charity event. Still one of the all time great songs, and was awesome to see

As far as Football goes, the awful NY Giants managed to hold on and defeat the awful Washing Commanders 14 -7 in a very ugly (but entertaining game). The Giants had numerous times to put the game away (an easy missed interception that would have been a pick six, to fumbling on the Washington 5 yard line where even a FG would have iced the game. As the Commanders were marching down the field for a tying score – I know all Giants fans were thinking what will be worse, have Washington score to tie the game, and the Giants then lose in 17-14 in over-time, or even worse, having Washington score and then go for two and win the game 14-15 in regulation.

When the Giants stopped the Commanders on 4th down, and after a brief pause to make sure there was no penalty flag flown, you could hear the relief and realization that the Giants would actually win this game.

Next up is the huge Giants / Jets game next Sunday. Both team really need the win, and it should be an exiting matchup

Just to try and brings some good karma for the Giants, I give you this

Happy Monday and hope everybody has a great week.

Updates on Survivor, The Viper, NY Giants Football and more

Posted on October 20, 2023 by AverageAndy

I have to say, I am really enjoying Season 45 of Survivor. I know a lot of people are upset about 2 of the first 4 sent home basically quit the game at tribal council (I could relate to Hannah, but am a little confused about Sean). Wonder if they will adjust their casting procedure going forward, although not sure how you can really tell how a person will react while on an island with 16 strangers. As far as the other contestants, looks like they hit a home run with Emily. She is the type of contestant that makes great television, as well as showcasing great game play. Reminds me of John Cochran and Christian Hubicki — Both who were almost to smart for the show at the beginning, but were able to change and adapt there ways. Makes for a great watch, rather than somebody who is super athletic, or super confident, but doesn’t adapt or make any changes and just blends in to Survivor oblivion (ex – Alex Bell, Jeff Wilson, Stacy Kimball – I just some players randomly). Another person I am rooting for this season is Drew. Am I the only one who thinks of Jon Heder as Napoleon Dynamite every time I see him?

Looking forward to how things progress this season. Hope that some of the idols and rewards get played the way they should (big moves and blindsides) this season

I’m a week behind on “The Amazing Race” but should be caught up this week and get back on schedule

Still watching Big Brother although can start to feel that the season is a bit long (100 days compared to 84)

Really enjoying the new John Verdon book – The Viper (Dave Gurney, #8) – Have read them all and it is one of my favorite series of books. Each story has just the right amount of craziness in an otherwise normal setting (Update New York). Love how John Verdon adds suttleies into the speech of the characters. Makes you really feel there emotions. If you haven’t read any of his books, start with Think of a Number (Dave Gurney, #1) and work your way through. Solid Stuff

Had some time the other day, and went to a Barnes & Noble. Could spend hours just browsing the new books. Realized I could scan the barcode on a book with my phone and it would then allow me to add it to my Amazon Wish List without having to type anything. Added a few books I want to read so keep a lookout (I am a slow reader, but hopefully will be able to find some time and get to a few more books before the end of the year

Had a whirlwind of a day on Sunday. First headed to Pennsylvania for the 79th Philly-Non Sports Card Show Had a great time seeing some fellow collectors and talking about what’s new with trading cards. Picked up a Promo Pack of “Legend of the NJ Devil” by artist Ted Dastick Jr. Also picked up a box of the new “Star Trek Strange New World” cards from Rittenhouse Archives and a bunch of Inkworks promos I needed. Great time

From there, I headed up the New Jersey Turnpike and attend the New York Jets / Philadelphia Eagles game. Got invited to a suite by Veritas and had a great time at the game with free food and drink. Really appreciated the invite. By a miracle the Jets came back and actually won the game.

From there I headed home to catch the 2nd quarter of the NY Giants / Buffalo Bills Sunday Night game. Even though the Giants are not a good team, they held the score close, and had a chance to win on the final play. Things didn’t work out, but maybe, just maybe this will give the team some confidence going into this weekends game with the Washington Commanders. A win would make next weeks Giants / Jets game an must watch. A loss and I will be able to get things done around the house on Sundays (like raking the leaves that are now covering my lawn)

More to come

Survivor and things

Posted on October 9, 2023 by AverageAndy

Really enjoyed the first episode of Survivor 45. It looks to be an interesting cast with a good mix of players (although I again noticed the lack on older players (more on this below). I know a lot of fans were upset with Hannah for quitting the game. My feeling is that if she really didn’t want to be there, and wanted to leave, that is her decision and nobody elses. Everybody has been in a situation where things feel or play-out differently then you expected. Some people are scared of heights and will freeze up on things like waterslides or suspension bridges. Others are scared of confined spaces and will not get on an elevator. I have no problem with Hannah deciding that Survivor was not for her and walking away.

For the second episode, I took the trip from New Jersey to New York to attend the Rob Has A Pod Cast live taping at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center. It was crazy to watch the episode in a packed auditorium. Hearing people react to different people and cheering the team during the challenges was a cool thing to experience (Most of the time its just me on the couch watching). After the episode was over there was a live Q&A and Rob brought a bunch of past contestants on stage to discuss the episode and Survivor in general. Was interesting to see the contestants in person and you could tell they still really loved the show and the game. As for the choice to vote out Brandon instead of Emily, I would have went the same way. Loyalty is important, but you need to win and feel good about things early, and the tribe has a much better chance to win with Emily over Brandon. We will see if they made the right move

I remember the first time Yul Kwon played, he found an hidden immunity idol, told everybody and basically dared them to vote him out. I know this was early and hidden immunity idols were new and really the only advantage available, but by showing his hand, Yul was able to gain some trust as well as keep the votes off of himself. I know its not the same, but when Drew returned from the journey and told his tribe the truth of what happened, and the advantage he won, I felt he made the right move. To many time, people try to lie about things that will come out due to multiple people being involved (rather than if you found a hidden advantage by your self and nobody else new). I know if I was playing I would make sure to talk to everybody who goes on a journey what actually happened, and then compare notes. Note: I was wondering how surprised the tribes actually were when Jeff said “No getting your 1st glance of the LuLu Tribe, Hannah voted out” I would thing both Drew and Bruce would have asked Brandon who was voted off at tribal. I doubt he would refuse and tell them “You will have to wait and see”. I do like that the Beware Advantage is different for each tribe (which was also mentioned by the former contestants at the RHOPC.

As motioned earlier, Survivor has not cast many older people (like myself) and I feel they are missing out on some hidden gems. CBS, like all the major networks, skew towards an older demo and should take that into account (Just look at the popularity of “The Golden Bachelor”. At some point the older audience will have trouble relating to a bunch of 20 to 30 year old’s. Adding some older players would be better relatable to the audience, as well set up some great dynamics between the different generations. Was great to see when somebody like Mike Gables (age 51) was able to relate to players half his age to eventually become the sole survivor.

Check Out #NeverToOldForSurvivor and #GiveMeAChange

Will get my update on the Amazing Race soon (Lot of stuff going on, so be patient)

Not much to say about the New York Football Giants. As a life long fan, it is actually painful to watch them as they are so bad. I have to put most of the blame on the coach and his staff. All they seem to do is make excuses (without actually coming out and say it). “We need to be better” “Its on me” “We need to be Better” “Its on me” is all we here from Coach Dabol game after game. I wonder if the coach and he staff (Both Offensive and Defensive Coordinator) are to arrogant or stubborn to the players. Reminds me of when I was in college (Shout out the #LehighUniversity) when I had a physics teacher who wrote the book we used for the class. They guy was a genius, but could not relate to how everybody else did not understand physics to the level he did. He would become frustrated and mad when people asked questions. Not saying this is what’s going on with the Giants, but sometimes you need to read the room, and adjust to them instead of getting angry when they don’t adjust to you.

Took a break after reading the first 2 books of the “Wealth of time Series”. Really enjoyed them but need to mix things up a bit. Now reading “The Viper”, the 8th book in the Dave Gurney Series buy #JohnVerdon. Have really enjoyed all of the previous books and this one has me hooked already. Do yourself a favor and check out “Think Of A Number”, the 1st book of the series if your interested. Maybe you’ll get hooked like me

Thanks for reading and let me know if there are things you want to know more about

Almost time for Survivor / The Amazing Race

Posted on September 25, 2023 by AverageAndy

Both Survivor and The Amazing Race return on Wednesday with 90 minute episodes. Looking forwarded to see what they do with the extra time. Do they just give extended coverage of challenges and tribal council, or do they change up the format by adding new things?

With both Survivor and The Amazing Race running for 90 minutes, it removes the Wednesday edition of Big Brother 25. Wonder if they will add another day, of just go with Sunday (Which is being pushed back by Football and Yellowstone) and Thursday. I’m sure its all out on the web but I have been avoiding things until Wednesday to not see any spoilers or contestant information (I am old school and like to be surprised when watching Survivor or The Amazing Race)

Its Official — Both the NY Mets and NY Yankees have been eliminated from the baseball playoffs with a week to go in the season. Was a disappointing season for the Mets. They dug themselves a hole that was just to big to climb out of. Time to revaluate things for next year. Number one on the list is they need to get some solid starting pitching. They will get Edwin Diaz back next season, and hopefully he brings back the excitement that seemed to be missing this year. There offense is solid – Just need to figure out 3rd base, and get themselves a good solid outfielder.

As far as the local NFL Teams – Both head coaches have got to so some soul searching and figure out a way to get the best out of there players. The Giants need to look at how they played the 2nd half against the Cardinals. They played aggressively and through the ball down the field. Not sure why the reverted back to their old boring dump off offence against the 49rs. Let Danial Jones throw the ball and see what happens. As for the Jets — They just need to avoid getting blown out by the Chiefs on Sunday night.

Having issues with my Xfinity X1 Cable Box (Will not allow me to access any streaming services). Was on a chat and call with Xfinity support, and it appears that this is a major issue along the east coast. Hopefully they can figure out what’s going on and get everybody effected back up and running (They already gave me a credit for this, so they must be aware of the outage).

More soon on Books / TV / Music as well as updates on Big Brother

Just some updates as it been a long few weeks

Posted on September 15, 2023 by AverageAndy

Been busy the past few weeks, so here are some updates of things I have been reading / watching / listening to

I attended the Bruce Springsteen Concert a few weeks back at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey . Had a great time with my wife, daughter and here boy friend tailgating before the show and then seeing Bruce perform. I am not a super fan, but enjoy his music and he played a lot of great songs (Including “Jungleland”, “Atlantic City”, and his cover of “Nightshift” by the Commodores). Was lucky to catch him, as he has had to cancel the rest of his current tour do to health issues. Wishing him a speedy recovery, and hope he can continue touring next year.

As great as the Springsteen Show was, the New York Football Giants were awful during there opening game against the Dallas Cowboys. They were un competitive and had the look of a team that wasn’t ready to compete. This points to a disconnect somewhere between the players and the coaches. Head Coach Brian Daboll should read this article about what former Head Coach Tom Coughlin did after his team started to look lifeless. The job of a Head Coach (or any leader) is read his team / audience be able to make some changes within yourself to get the best out of them. They have a test this week against the Arizona Cardinals — Lets see what Daboll is able to do off of last week, and which way the season goes. Hoping for the best

******

I had written a bunch more, but lost network connection, and was unable to autosave. Tried going back to drafts, and this was as much of what was saved

So to briefly summarize:

Survivor and Big Brother are back starting Wednesday, October 27th with 90 min episodes

Submitted my Survivor Application in August, and may submit a small follow-up

Past Survivor Winner Adam Klein is hosting a Group Workshop on Wednesday, September 20th

Really enjoying the Wealth of Time books by Andre Gonzalez

The Lehigh Mountain Hawks are 1 – 1 and take on Cornell tomorrow

The Mets hired David Stearns as their new President of Baseball Operations

PEACE

Remembering those who are no longer here

Posted on September 11, 2023 by AverageAndy

On the 22nd anniversary of 09/11, we should all take some time to remember those who lost there lives that morning, both those who were in the two towers and those who raced to the scene to try and help. We should also take some time to say a prayer for the family members and friend we have personally lost over the years as well as those who lost their lives to tragedies such as senseless shootings, acts of nature, or the recent covid pandemic

PEACE to all

Was going to write about the awful performance by NY Football Giants, the Bruce Springsteen Concert I attended last week, this season of Big Brother and other shows I have been watching or want to watch, Books I’m reading, Lehigh Football, and NY Mets Baseball but all that will be moved to tomorrow

Today I am just going to leave you with the new Barenaked Ladies song, which I find as a perfect reminder for today

Smile, be Happy, and Love Life

Just some thoughts

Posted on August 25, 2023 by AverageAndy

Been a strange few weeks. Had a family gathering in upstate New York to celebrate the life of my cousin Alex who passes away a few months ago. Then had another gathering to celebrate the life of my mother-in-law who had passed about a month ago. Was strange in that is was great to see a lot of friends and relatives I hadn’t seen in a while, but sad to see them under these circumstances. I did do a lot of thinking, and realized that its true when somebody say “Life is short, so enjoy it while you can”

I created and submitted another Survivor Audition Video (With editing help from my daughter). I think it came out really well and hopefully this is the one that gets me noticed. Survivor need to cast some older players to go along with their stated goal of getting a more diverse cast. I feel people are getting a little tired of seeing the same basic makeup season after season. I also feel CBS in general needs to mix things up a bit. Do we really need to see the same people from Survivor and Big Brother brought back on The Challenge? I give Big Brother credit for casting Felicia, Cirie, and Bowie Jane, who are showing that older people can be just as fun and energetic as younger players.

Speaking of Big Brother, the show can drive my crazy. Every time I think I need to take a break and tune it out for a bit, I get sucked back in wit a crazy blind side, or challenge that I need to see who wins. This season has been a bit strange in that everybody who has stepped up and made moves has then been immediately voted out (Kirsten, Reilly Hisem). Also, there isn’t really anybody who has really caught my attention who I really want to win.

Unless the Mets go on a wining streak starting tonight against the similarly bad Angels, the season will become a showcase for young players as they play out the last month. Not horrible, but just not good enough, the Mets have had a strange season. They look good some days, and awful the next. There just isn’t any consistency and they got a bit to far back, that playing .500 ball the rest of the way will not be good enough. I will still follow them (As a lifelong fan, its in my blood). But in a few weeks, when Football season starts, it will be tough focus on the Mets unless….

Started reading “Live Learn Love Well: Lessons from a Life of Progress Not Perfection”
by Emma Lovewell to mix things up a bit. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but so far it is very enjoyable and plays well with the “Life is Short, Enjoy it while you can” theme.

Looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. Not much planned, and will be good to have some down time for one. Will be needed and I have tickets to Bruce Springsteen at MetLife Stadium the next weekend (Which is the Labor Day Holiday Weekend) which should be a fun way to transition from summer to fall.

Will write more soon

Peace

Books and Baseball

Posted on August 6, 2023 by AverageAndy

Just finished reading “The Ferryman” by Justin Cronin Really enjoyed this book and overall story. I did read “The Passage” a while ago and enjoyed it and the way it was written, so was looking forward to “The Ferryman” and it did not disappoint. While the plot line has been done many times before, I did like how the author was able to incorporate the story into the plot while keeping things interesting. I like any book that makes you think when your reading it and when your done, and there is a lot to think about in this book.

After reading a bunch of non-fiction book recently, It was good to get back into fiction and just enjoy a story. I have now started reading “Camino Winds” (Camino Island, #2) by John Grisham, As a longtime reader of John Grisham, I enjoyed the 1st book “Camino Island” and am enjoying reconnecting the the characters. Did see that there that John Grisham has written a new Firm novel “The Exchange: After the Firm” and have added it to my list of books to read

I am also excited about the new Dave Gurney Book “The Viper” by John Verdon. This is the 8th book in the Dave Gurney series, and I have thoroughly enjoyed every one, going back the the first book “Think of a Number”. Great stories, characters, and locations make his novels a great read and I highly recommend checking them out

I need to adjust my time to read more, as there are always new books by authors I like, either fiction or non-fiction to read and allow me to expand my mind and learn new things.

As far as baseball goes, the Mets decided that their current roster was not working, so dished off a bunch of players (Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, David Robinson, Tommy Pham, and Mark Cahna) at the trade deadline. While I agree changes had to be made, and agree with most of these players being traded away, its going to make for a tough watch the rest of the way in 2023. After the trades, the Mets went out and got swept by the awful Kansas City Royals, and then lost 2 against the much btter first place Baltimore Oriels. I know there trying but it tough to not feel that team is basically packing it in until next year. Playing a bunch of young players (most who will not be on the roster next year) has got to be tough on the veteran players who know how hard things are.

The Mets do seem to have a plan in place — Bringing in a new President of Baseball Operations after the season, and then seeing what pitchers are available to join next years rotation. Buck Showalter may or may not be back, depending on what direction the new President want to go. Will be interesting to see how things play out. But for the rest of the season, I will still try to watch some games, but admit it will be tough to stay interested

There are some interesting storyline going on in MLB and it will be interesting to see if teams like the Reds, Cubs, Giants in the NL and Texas, Toronto and even the Yankees have a run in them to make the play-offs.

Big Brother is Back for Season 25

Posted on August 4, 2023 by AverageAndy

Hard to imagine, but Big Brother is back for its 25th Season. Every year it returns, I think to my self, I cant watch this time, but then their I am every Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday tuning in to see who wins HOH, who wins the Golden Power of Veto, and who gets sent packing. After all these years, I still find the show fascinating and addicting. Just as a public service announcement to all those who are casual fans, or who are late to the party, here is a list of all the Winners of Big Brother starting in July of 2000

I have been their from the beginning, but scanning through this list, even I have trouble remembering some of the past winners and runners up. Of the ones that I remember and really liked, some of my favorites were Dr. Will Kirby, Mike “Boogie” Malin, Dick “Evil Dick” Donato, The great Dan Gheesling, Rachel Reilly, Derick Levasseur, Nicole Franzel, and Cody Calafiore

But there are also players that I remember and rooted for that were eliminated before the final 2. Here are those who stood out to me (aka – I see or hear there names, and instantly get a picture of them in my head.

Season 1 George Allen Boswell (Chicken George)
Season 3 Roddy Mancuso (Who is a Lehigh Graduate)
Season 6 Jannele Pierzina
Season 8 Daniele Donato
Season 11 Jeff Schroeder
Season 12 Vincenzo “Enzo” Palumbo
Season 13 Porsche Briggs
Season 14 Britney Haynes
Season 16 Frankie Grande
Season 17 Meaghan “Meg” Maley and John McGuire
Season 18 Paul Abrahamian
Season 19 Christmas Abbott
Season 20 Christopher “Swaggy C” Williams
Season 23 Derek Xiao and Claire Rehfuss (Who went on to win The Amazing Race)
Season 24 Matthew Turner

On one hand, I think to my self , What a colossal waste of time I have spent watching Big Brother, but on the other, I think of all the interesting people and situations I have been able to experience over the years from my living room. For that I am grateful to CBS, Julie Chen Moonves, and everybody else involved with Big Brother over the past 25 years. No matter how stupid the show can be at some times, its been a great ride, and I’m looking forward to this and future seasons.

Be Back later with more

Peace

Average Andy
