Most of you probably already know this, my family had a new addition to it. Waylon Richard Hunt. He is a beautiful baby boy, just eats and sleeps like a good little baby should do. Lots of black hair. This is my stance on new babies, call me when they can walk and talk. I love the fact that we have another child in the family and I am excited to watch him grow but right now he is like a super computer in sleep mode. He has a lot of potential and you can tell he is going to be really fun......just not right now. Patients, Quentin, patients. The pros are that he can't talk back, all he does is cuddle, and he can't run away. So I need to take the good with the bad.
The other addition, my brand new shiney 120Gb slim PS3. Yes, I have joined the gaming revolution, a little late, but here I am! I don't get much time to play, only after 8:30pm. I make every minute count though. I am blown away by how far home gaming has come in just 20 years. I remember being absolutely face melted by the graphics of Top Gun on NES. Now I am killing Zombies with three other friends online while I talk to them on a headset in real time. So if any For the Masses fans out there want to "get their game on", give me a call and I will pass the remote or look you up online, just make sure it is after 8:30.

Greatest Invention Ever....of 2007
OK, call me behind the times, but I just got the new 3rd gen iPod touch. I had no idea what I was missing out on! This thing is absolutely amazing. There is nothing you can't do on this thing. It is literally a pocket computer....but better. There are very few things a laptop can do that this thing can't, but there are plenty of things a touch can do that a laptop can't. Basically, the only thing I use my laptop for now is to print documents. I truly know why so many people switched to AT&T just for the phone. All of the Verizon phones are literally cheap imitations. Everyone out there that has a touch or an iPhone, please respond to this and tell me your favorite part of the greatest invention of our time.

Interesting Valentine Gifts
For all the people out there that may question my adaption to marriage, I have one statement that will prove my domestication.
I got a blender for Valentine's Day. That's right, a blender. My wife knows that I love to make smoothies for the family, our old blender wasn't cutting it. The gift itself does not make me domesticated, it is the fact that I love the gift. I love my blender, it makes great smoothies. The most irrelevant question I can think of right now is "am I a wussy". The answer is too obvious to even entertain that question.
Guess what my wife got? A Dyson vacuum. OK blog crowd, bring it on, I am ripe for the teasing.

The First Lady's Attack on Fat Kids
I heard today that Mrs. Obama's main focus during her time in the white house was to do away with childhood obesity. Much like Nancy Regan with "just say no" and Barbara Bush's reading programs.
I am torn on this one though. I am all for getting these fatty kids out and playing instead of sitting inside glued to the TV. My concern is that there is going to be a ton of money and policies thrown at this problem, all for naught.
Lets face it, 95% of the time, if a kid is fat it is because of his/her parents. Until the kid is about 14 the parents have total control over how much TV the kid gets and how much the kid eats. This sounds like just another government program that tries to be mommy and daddy for all the terrible parents out there. No amount of money, no amount of programs will make up for bad parenting. BUT, I do think focusing on physical education and health awareness is a really good thing. Newsflash, schools already have this, it is mandatory. The only problem is, you can't make kids run in PE, you can't make kids listen in health class. I commend Mrs. Obama for wanting to do away with childhood obesity, I can't think of a better task she can take on. Bravo Mrs. Obama. How she executes her plan on accomplishing this task, will be the true measure of this First Lady.
If she personally goes around talking to children about health and physical activity, I will tip my hat to her. If it is just, yet another, government program with good intentions but piss poor execution and results (No Child Left Behind, ring a bell?). Then I assure you I will write a very strongly worded blog!

Super Bowl Analysis
OK, another Super Bowl down. What did you think of it? I have been hearing mixed reactions on the radio and TV. I really liked the Who halftime show....I may be the only one. Give me washed up old rockers with great songs any day over Timberlake and Janet's boob. I hate teenybopper halftime shows. The only teen-beat half time show that I liked was the Orange Bowl a couple of years ago when Ashley Simpson got "boooooooed", it was classic!!
Game wise, great game. Hard fought on both sides. I was rooting for the Colts because I like to see Manning pick defenses apart. I have to hand it to the Saints, they had his number this time. Also, even though I was not rooting for the Saints, they played exactly how I want to see a team play. They took risks, they played to win, not just to "not lose". The onside kicke to start the half, they blitz, they went for it on fourth!! All great stuff that we need more of.
Commercials What was the big deal about the Tebow commercial?! The worst thing abortion groups could have done was argue about this commercial, if they would have just kept their mouth shut, the commercial wouldn't have even made a blip on the radar. Except for it being totally ridiculous. The marketing genius behind this "abortion" (pun intended) needs to update his resume. Who forms their mom up? I could see passing her a football or something, but a full fledged tackle? Tim isn't even a defensive player, he probably hasn't tackled someone since Pee Wee football....let alone his mother. Terrible
Betty White "that is not what your girlfriend said" hilarious! I loved that snickers commercial.
LeBron and Dwight not knowing who the crusty old white guy is (Larry Bird) would have been funny if it wasn't true.
Doritos and the dog collar....Let me get this straight, you spent 1.3 million on 30 seconds of air time but you can't afford some quality CGI to make the dogs arms look real? stupid idea, poorly executed.
Doritos in the coffin....funny idea, the people at Bud Light would have done better with it.
The bridge made out of people to get the Bud truck across....mediocre at best.
The Bud Light commercial that I did like was the plane crash survivors partying with the new found bud light while the sciencey chick is trying to get the radio to work.
The Green Police....too close to the truth, if liberals get their way this commercial will be a blueprint for the latest task force.
One thing that I was very happy about, not once did the camera pan to the Kardasians. Thanks you, thank you, thank you. I thought the camera was going to be on a swivel between the Mannings and the Kardasians.
If I missed your favorite commercial, let me know and tell me why it was so good.

My Response To 'State of the Union'
This is not the Republican response, this is not the independent response. This is just a common sense response. I have to be honest, I only watched about 15 minutes total of the speech because my wife had the power and was only turning to it during commercials of another program. Never the less, I don't think I could have watched any more that 15 minutes of it anyway because of my lack in intestinal fortitude.
I know some people love to hear President Obama talk, they love his articulation, his cadence. All his speeches sound the same to me. From the first day of his candidacy to now, they are all generalities and platitudes. I will give him this, what he is saying sounds great. Stuff like "jobs are priority number one", "We need to come together to solve these problems", and "I never said change would be easy, but we will get there." This is stuff that anyone would agree with, the feel good platitudes have got to stop. The problem is, when he does get specific, he ends up lying or not being able to deliver. Gitmo, health care, national deficit reduction, transparency, lobbyist, all of which he has either not hit the deadline or has flat out lied about. The bottom line for this speech, take a strong stance on something and follow through with it, please. Please, give me a politician on either side that will say what they believe without apologizing for it, then follow through when in power.

Do You Believe In Magic?
An amazing thing has happened in this country. Scott Brown has been elected by the people of Mass. I am excited and thrilled even though I don't live in Mass. Why is this so huge? This means that anything can happen now. This could mean a true conservative uprising is on the horizon. People are actually coming to their senses. They realized that campaign promises by a charming smooth talker is worth less than The View is to daytime television (thats pretty worthless). It proves that ever since Obama has been elected everything he touches turns to crap. I must admit, he was unstoppable during the campaign, he was golden, he could do no wrong......but now? Lets just say, if I were interviewing for a job the last person I would put as a reference right now is Barack Obama. If a Conservative can win in Mass., anything is possible.
