Tarheels kicking some NCAA butt

It never fails.  Each and every year its the same damn story. Every sports reporter outside the Triangle dumps on UNC and thinks that every single opponent the Heels face is going to destroy them.  They all act like UNC is so incredibly over-rated and that their opponent is the real deal.

Washington State was going to topple the mighty Heels with their suffocating defense.  Wait, the Heels beat them 68-47. Held WSU to the lowest point total of an opponent all year.  It was the fewest points allowed by a UNC team in the tourney since 1946.

Who's up next.  Well, if you listen to the assholes writing the stories, its the best team to ever walk onto the hardwood: Louisville.  A team that captured headlines all throughout the season (sike) and sat atop the polls for most of the season (again, sike).  Yes, if you get to the elite eight, you're a good, deserving team.  But, come on.  I don't think the Heels are going to lie down and cry.

This year's team has now set a new single-season win record with 35, and they're still counting. This is also the first tournament that the Heels have won their first 3 games by at least 20 points.  They're looking strong!

But don't listen to the sports writers!  They'll have you thinking that UNC is lucky to have gotten this far.  Especially those assholes at CBS Sportline, namely Gary Parrish (dumb f*#ker) and Dennis Dodd.  These stupid f--ks consistently miss the call on what they write, going with conventional and play-out wisdom to come up with completely unoriginal articles and "insights."  And these jokers get paid for the crap they write.  And I shouldn't let it bother me, because they are always wrong and, if you really look at it, they're just laughing stocks in the college ball world.  In fact, as I write, my opinion is shifting from one of anger to one of humor.  

Let the CBS Sportlins Idiots write what they like.  Do your best boys!  You are and will always be a pathetic bunch of followers.  And your opinions make you more laughable than dangerous.  So by all means, pucker up on Pitino's butt... and we'll talk on Sunday morning...

My love for music

By Philip Harmon
I've been wondering lately which one of my kids is going to catch the music bug. Or if any of them will. I was about 8 years old (Wyatt's age) when I caught the bug. I remember a Christmas around that time when I got two albums, Elton John's Greatest Hits and Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits. I wore those albums out! And my aunt Nan loaned me a stack of albums and said that one day I'd thank her. I can't remember the exact albums, but I know one was Frank Zappa. One was the Rolling Stones. I believe there was a Zeppelin and a Grateful Dead. When I first got into music, it was all vinyl. There was a local music shop in Fayetteville called Paradise Records. They also had tapes. Then one day these things called CDs appeared. The CD section was tiny at first. And my first CD was Huey Lewis and the News 'Sports.' But that section quickly grew and before you knew it, the record section was almost non-existent. We used to go to the record shop all the time. Back th...

Thoughts On Bars and Bartending

By Philip Harmon
  Now for some thoughts about bars and bartending, which I did for 25 years. BIG disclaimer: these are my opinion. They're opinions based on a ton of experience on both sides of the bar. But please don't take them as fact. Within the hierarchy of the restaurant, the bartender is right behind the chef at the very top. Both the chef and the bartender are responsible for creating things. Both should be expertly skilled. And both are the reasons that guests come to the restaurant. I got my first bartending gig in 1998. I attended a bartending school which the BIGGEST waste of time and money. I'll explain why shortly. My first gig was at the Angus Barn. I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I had never bartended a day in my life. But their hiring philosophy was to hire good people (which they couldn't train) and then train those good people to do what they needed to do. I was there for two years. I got better with each shift. Looking back I realize that I was awful. A...
