Writer's Block

My (literal) to-do list has had "write a new blog post" on it for a while. I'm not sure what to write next. I have a bunch of ideas that I've been kicking around and wanting to write for sometime, but for some reason have not been able to build up the momentum to actually write about one yet. So, I'm throwing in the towel and I'm listing them below. I need to give myself incentive to write. Does anybody want to hear me expound on any of these topics (and if so, which one), and I will get to work:

- Why Kanye West is the important musical artist to debut since I've graduated high school
- The 10 greatest rock and roll groups of all time, to me, with reasons
- Why Oprah Winfrey could be president of the U.S. if she wanted to (including an anecdote about Michael Imperioli)
- Hockey, in general
- A "friend profile" about a random Teaneck friend - how we met, our history, etc...
- North, Central, and South Jersey - a profile of each - what constitutes each, characteristics of each, ...

One Picture and Two Random Videos

Here is a photo of the last actual Hobo With Cheese I ate at Five-Star. I'd love to somehow embed this into the header of our blog. If anybody wants to work on this, let me know. I tried this once and wasn't successful.




Here is my all-time favorite basketball highlights / music video. I posted this once before and wanted to re-post it in light of Moon's Mike Nurse post and in light of our collective lamenting of the fact that guys aren't as passionate in professional sports as they once were.





Finally, I've had Sirius Radio for a few months now and have been able to listen to Howard Stern before. If you have not been able to make the jump and/or not interested in Howard Stern, here's a taste of song parodies of people sweating Robin Quivers' breasts.

Hypothetical Game of Basketball

Who would win the following game of regulation rules basketball:

Lebron James and nine randomly chosen 6th graders, some of whom may be athletic and some who might not

versus

The authors of Where's Luke and Hobo Con Queso combined?

"Management Was Restructuring"

(+6 blog points to the first one to identify the reference of the title of this post)

At Hobo Con Queso, we recognize the realities of today's corporate world. Sometimes, in today's world, groups need to expand, restructure, and shift personnel to keep up with the competitive world of blogging.

(Ok, I couldn't think of a funnier introduction. Maybe it's because it's 5:11 AM and my body is keeping me awake despite the fact that somehow, we've had two consecutive snow days down here in South Jersey even though it hasn't snowed since Saturday.)

With this in mind, Hobo Con Queso is proud to announce the addition of several talented Teaneck-bred writers, here to dump their mind whenever they feel like they, umm, have to dump. (HY!) All of them are intelligent, handsome, and unfortunately, all taken - sorry, ladies and gay men.

Of course, you remember that Beer-on-the-Girl, brother of yours truly, was the first added to our staff a few days ago. Here is a picture of Walt Clyde with Beer on the Girl.

Now, allow me to introduce you to the rest of the staff.



From left to right: MMG, Chris Hall, Walt Clyde Frazier, Matt Dabney, Joe Grossberg

MMG: A long-time friend of mine (for 25 years), MMG started a blog a while ago and lost steam some time ago. A Teaneckian who now resides in Brooklyn, MMG divides his time between being an attorney, rooting for the Giants and Mets, and drinking beer. His contributions, while somewhat infrequent, will be worth the wait.

Chris Hall: Fast both with the feet and with his mind (but not in the bedroom HY!), Chris Hall lit up the world as a Highwayman ('94) and as a Lion ('98). Chris is now a school administrator in South Jersey (and only lives a few minutes away from me!) and laments the fate of our New York Knicks, but unlike myself, has remained loyal and has not sold out on them, yet. He also blogs here in a more academic setting.

Matt Dabney: Also known as Daffy, Daphne, that nigga Matt Daffy, Glaffney, Traffney, Draffney, and many other similar names, Matt Dabney occasionally blogs here (and I use the word occasionally liberally) and occasionally lets us know how his house in New York State is shaping up here. Hopefully being part of this team will allow him to write more about fatherhood, the Nets, and Grant Hill.

Joe Grossberg: Joeydidit, the most computer-literate and profilic web writer of the group, used to blog often and has since been more active on Facebook and various niches of the Internet. A web designer (is that your job title, Joey?), talented and creative writer, and somebody who has more friends on Facebook than the rest of us combined, Joey will hopefully bring some spice and substance to our humble blog.

So there's your writers, folks. Hopefully they feel free to write about any random shit that they want to share. Enjoy...
