FIRST DAVID WELLS, NOW CURT SCHILLING (BOTH WITH BUM ANKLES... ). I AM GETTING MEAN SPIRITED EMAILS FROM YANKEE FANS AS WE SPEAK

YANKEE FAN, 'J.'s EMAIL TODAY:
A-Rod's Bronx bash: 3 HRs, 10 RBIs Yankee's blasts come in first 4 innings of rout vs. Angels http://g.msn.com/0MNBUS00/2?http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7646735&&CM=EmailThis&CE=1
Love J.

MY RESPONSE:
come on j.
email me something worthy
(like when arod hits a pressure packed homer in the 9th to win a big game 2-1)
the guy is a stiff until then


YANKEE FAN, 'J.'s EMAIL RESPONSE TO ME:
You're just upset because Schilling and Wells are on the disabled list .....



J. is right!!!

Good People, Yesterday I announced that I was not going to eat donuts anymore and guess what happened? I stirred some major drama with the people who comment on my site.

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL POST:

Had a donut for breakfast today. After eating it... I made a decision...

NO MORE DONUTS FOR WADE!
SERIOUSLY!

Look out ladies at the Jersey Shore!

Donuts are not good for you. I want to show off my ab(s) this summer. So, now it's no to donuts!

Gonna start eating salads and that kind of stuff now.

Feeling less bloated already.

_____________________


AND
HERE ARE THE COMMENTS TO THE POST:

Get real. A salad is a prelude to a big f-ing steak and potatoes...not a meal itself.

The ladies at the boardwalk won't mind.

I'm not fighting with Jodi either. I'm just saying that a donut now and then isn't going to kill you - and having killer abs isn't the only way to attract women. (But maybe Adam Wade, you like thinking there is blog kitty fight over you!)
Julie 04.27.05 - 10:45 am #

I was unable to go to Dunkin Donuts in Hoboken due to the rain (had to take an alternative route to the PATH Train). So when I got into NYC I NEEDED my morning ICED COFFEE, so I hit a ritzy deli and got HOSED - 3 bucks for a crappy iced coffee.



In OTHER BIG WADE NEWS, HERE'S THREE NEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE WADE SHIRTS


Mr. Eric "Don't Call Me Ben, But you can call me Shempy, or ERIC THE RED" Flanders --
on location near Aruba


Gameshow castmagnet Darren (sorry it took so long to post the pix)!


One of my many bosses, SUSIE!
Remember if you want a WADE SHIRT GO HERE

Had a donut for breakfast today. After eating it... I made a decision...

NO MORE DONUTS FOR WADE!
SERIOUSLY!

Look out ladies at the Jersey Shore!

Donuts are not good for you. I want to show off my ab(s) this summer. So, now it's no to donuts!

Gonna start eating salads and that kind of stuff now.

Feeling less bloated already.

I got into the show... (not the way I thought I would, but I appreciate all who tried to help me with tickets etc, I know full well you guys tried).

Merle Haggard stole the show. The aging legend went on before Dylan and really rocked the house. He was incredible, great band, great songs, great performer, great little stories and asides. BRAVO!


Dylan... man... I really love the guy, don't get me wrong. Solid 'B' grade. I've seen him twice before and this was the worse show I've seen of his. The band was tight, and they really rocked. And it wasn't like Dylan wasn't trying. And yes, it was great seeing him perform. He just didn't bring his 'A' game.








PEOPLE AT THE SHOW:
I am not bragging, just stating the facts. Lot of rich, wimpy looking people at the show. This was the first concert where I felt like I could probably kick anybody's butt if I wanted to.

(Not Jodi though -yes, Jodi who comments on this blog, was there as well, though I didn't see her because I was in the standing nosebleed section of the Beacon -though I am not complaining).

Last week it was NBC's own GUITAR MASTER, Frank "Radman" Radice making headlines, now in today's NY Post Gossip page PAGE SIX... is 'OJ" HOROWITZ!!!

Jamie (see photo) bought a WADE T-Shirt last year and according my sources he 'may' have been wearing his WADE shirt while pouring the A1 sauce on his beef tenderloin. It is also believed that Mr. Kotter got the Sirloin.

GLENN PARKER IS THE MAN!

Glenn Parker is here covering AFL with Al Trautwig here at NBC SPORTS!

Glenn just keeps getting better. He is a great guy who always yells "ADAMWADE.COM", whenever he sees me. Mr. Parker is a classy guy!!!

"I need out of this... somewhat
haphazard relationship. It just isn't working out. I have to end this sweet and innocent crush. We're breaking up, I am giving up on donuts." [WADE]

WADE EXCLUSIVE: It's true. I just ate the Italian tuna for breakfast!!!!
And you know what? I have another 'IT' on reserve for lunch (around 2:30pm- 3pm).

I am that crazy about this sandwich!



FYI: I get my Italian Tuna from Fiore's Deli in Hoboken, NJ!

A few weeks ago I hit a hip party at the Gibson Performance to see Frank Radice's band RADMAN rock! It was a great show. Little did I know that this hip party would wind up in PAGE SIX!

Damn, it was goooood!

Sinuses are bugging me, but that helped in a big way.

My Co-worker Andrew got a chicken wrap and said it sucked!

The NY POST TV SECTION is saying that NBC SPORTS PRODUCER JIM BELL COULD BE THE NEXT EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF 'THE TODAY SHOW'. I've worked with Jim many weekends at NBC Sports and he is a great guy. Unfortunately he is not in the ADAM WADE COFFEE HALL OF FAME because he doesn't drink coffee, he drinks Diet Coke. I still want to wish him best of luck.

IN OTHER NEWS:

I'm sitting at my desk now with 4 leftover cupcakes.

Thanks Claresa, the mocha cupcake was awesome!

HERE ARE THIS WEEK'S WINNERS:
_______________________________________


OVERALL WINNER OF BEST CAPTION:
Dear Friends: 1986 sure was a big year for the Wades. Dad (center) decided that he'd had enough of the "corporate world" and is giving the rock scene a try. Unfortunately, Grandma (left) had to be committed to a rest home. Her health is fine, and as you can see from this picture, her elective "surgery" turned out just fine. But her odd decision to marry Stan "Ike" Schlumpert from down the street came as a real shocker. Young Adam (right) continues to "try and find himself." We're not optimistic.
-- Wade Family Christmas Card, 1986
Ed Shirak Jr., aka Patty Fitz, aka the #14 Ranked Dart play in Hoboken


BEST CAPTION THAT... KEEPS IT REAL!:
In my America, it doesn't matter if you're black or white or kinda grayish: every man, woman or a combination of the two, has the right to be a big fat freak.
Flanders Shempy


BEST COURTSIDE COMMENTARY CAPTION:
Outside the courthouse, Michael Jackson couldn't believe how much Gary Coleman and Emmanual Lewis had grown since he'd seen them last.
Lonny


BEST NON-CAPTION BY SOMEONE WHO LOVES SOY MILKSHAKES:
This is not a caption ... just an observation/comment: That is the WORST Michael Jackson "look-alike" I've ever seen.
Jodi

...Aren't washing their hands after going potty. I mean a SERIOUS AMOUNT OF PEOPLE (MEN'S ROOM)!!!!


SERIOUSLY!!! I refuse to shake anybody's hand at this place.

PS Had some Dunkin Donuts ice coffee today, AWESOME!

FINALLY AFTER 3 DAYS MY BLOG IS WORKING!.


Currently I am trying to finish editing the movie about....

THE ITALIAN TUNA!

It's looking good!!!!!!

SINUS UPDATE!:
Sinuses are starting to act up. Feeling woozy!

GREAT NIGHT OUT WITH THE BOYS:
Last night I had a great time out with Pat D (best bartender in Hoboken), Sir Walter, Cousin "Happy" John and Nickolai (aka the #1 Dart Player in Hoboken). Maybe it's not the sinuses... maybe I'm a little hungover.

SOX UPDATE:
My boy Manny had 4 homers in less than 24 hours. WOW!

YIKES, this really caught my eye yesterday reading my buddy Barry from NBC Sports' discarded Sunday NY Times Arts section.


From
Dustin Hoffman Stops Trying So Hard
By MANOHLA DARGIS

Mr. Hoffman brings a similar erotic intensity to a scene in "Lenny," when the comic locks his future wife, a bodacious stripper (the glorious Valerie Perrine), in his gaze. It's the look of the little guy, the guy who wasn't captain of the team or big man on campus, the guy who has to work harder to get the girl. The guy who knows that for the seduction to work she has to see not just him, but his desire, has to believe that no one else anywhere, any place, wants her more.

BLOGGER HAS BEEN DOWN
BEEN UNABLE TO POST!

Well, I waited for you when I was half sickYes, I waited for you when you hated meWell, I waited for you inside of the frozen trafficWhen you knew I had some other place to beNow, where are you tonight, sweet Marie? - B.D.

WORKING HARD!
Drinking Diept Sprite and Eating a grilled chicken sandwich (thanks Dan! - see photo).

My buddy Barry is here too. Barry is the man. He 'might' let me read his Sunday New York Times (a $4 value) when he's finished with it. What a kind guy!

Seriously!

Just took a long walk. Beautiful day today. But... time to treat myself.

IF you are in the Hoboken / Hudson County Region be sure to pick up 'Current' this week and turn to the BACK PAGE.

You will see a heartbreaking tale I wrote called 'PRETTY GIRL, BIG DOG, BIG DOODY, BROKEN HEART'


Sadly, this tale is on available on-line (yet).

Friday is here and the IT (aka the ITALIAN TUNA) is in my work fridge!
Yes, today I made the trip to Fiore's in Hoboken, grabbed the Italian Tuna and headed to the PATH STATION.

I got one for my boss Claresa. She is from Texas and is Italian. We'll see what she thinks. I figure she's gonna love it!

FYI: John from Fiore's (he's is awesome!), mentioned that there is a buzz going on in Hoboken now about the 'IT'.

DESSERT:
Yep, gonna go out and grab myself a B/W cookie.

For a bunch of summers growing up...

I would play this board/stat baseball game with my brother Matty and MATT AND ROB HERMANN. Matt and Rob Hermann(brothers) had their garage sort of made into a porch for the summer. They moved their couch and TV in there and we would play this game every night!

Good times!!!!

$6.oo gives Wade the gas!
(actual photo)

Yes, it was the lunch special but I am feeling bloated.

Not the best I've ever had, let's just put it that way!

FORTUNE COOKIE READ:
'You will find the love of your life in 5 years."

Tick tock, tick tock!

I had nachos and a few beers at THE FARSIDE in Hoboken (yes, the kitchen is open again - can't bring in food anymore), and a couple of Bud Lights.

Yes, I watched the Sox lose to the Yanks but Schill looked good (besides the back to back homers) KEEP THE FAITH SOX NATION!!!!

I had a strange dream last night (it could have been the product of the nachos, nursed beers and the Sox losing).

Jimmie Dale Gilmore (a somewhat famous singer, and WADE favorite) lived next door to me and... wrote a song that became a huge hit.

The song of course was about me!!!!

Here are the lyrics I remember - no joke!!!!

WADE... A little Waaaaade!
He's the man!
Champagne hair (??????)
Eats plums and pears.
Lookout buddy
Stop and Stare
At little Waaaaaade!
He's a SUPERDUDE!
He's a SUPERDUDE!
He's a SUPERDUDE!
Qua-LUDE!

To a HOT FUDGE SUNDAE AT McDONALD's!

What a day!

The sun and my little $1.09 sundae (with frre nuts)

Life is good!

Our very own Mike C (aka Ed Sr) is good friends with... DUNKIN DONUT MAN!

(both of whom are in this photo taken at the Hoboken Little League Field)

Yes, it seems Mike's roommate Nickolai (aka THE FISH, aka Mr Met, aka the #1 ranked dart player in Hoboken) has a night job as... DUNKIN DONUT MAN!

Exactly what does DUNKIN DONUT MAN do?

Make freshly brewed ICE COFFEE for me (WADE) every morning in Hoboken on the corner of 7th St and Washington.


BTW: DUNKIN DONUT MAN, the coffee today was sp-p-p-p-lendid!

FAMOUS POP STAR IS OFFICIALLY PREGNANT (photo not available due to mass overexposure)!

WHAT WADE THINKS:

ZZZZZZZ!

Dan Kennedy gave me a few shout outs at tonight's SHOW!
Check out his Homepage!

and check out HIS BOOK!

ITALIAN TUNA C-BLOCKS WADE,
NO JOKE!

Last night I struck up a conversation with a very nice young woman at a local Hoboken Bar. And... I don't mean to brag but things were going well (yes, there was an actual conversation). And the more we talked, the more I found myself sounding boring!!!

It's not insecurity, it's just I was a wee bit tired and ran out of interesting things to say (that's a miracle). Though I guess I could've given the girl a complement.

A lightbulb went off over my head!

So... I looked at her right in the eyes and said, "I am making a movie about Tuna Sandwiches."

A moment later I found myself alone at the bar with a warm Bud Light.

The 'IT' C-BLOCKED ME! This was a first.


(FYI: the meatball hoagie never did that to me)

END OF ORIGINAL POST!


The previous post has led to a roundtable discussion that NEEDS to be moved from the COMMENTS SECTION right onto the site. As folks continue to comment I will add them:


Damn, you are sooo smoooooth. Next time, try showing off some surgery scars, with in-depth commentary. She'll probably throw you down on the floor right there.
Flanders

WADE

She may have thought you were being ... RAUNCHY. I hate to be CRUDE, but, uhm, some people equate "tuna" with -- how do I say this?? -- GIRL PARTS. And "sandwich" -- well, that could be taken to mean a THREESOME.

So maybe she thought you were a PORNOGRAPHER!!!

Feel free to accept (or reject) my theory as you see fit! Thank you for your time.

P.S. Tomorrow night I will be in Hoboken getting a HAIRCUT!!!
Jodi

jodi
i have to reject your theory


though it's an interesting one

especially since i said, "ITALIAN TUNA SANDWICHES!"
WADE

________________________


wade, did she as least ask you why you are making a movie about italian tuna sandwiches?

it seems to me that the reason the conversation ended was, you were pulling all the weight. a conversation involves two people. the movie about italian tuna sandwiches is a great conversation starter. it could have turned into a discussion about food, film. like a-rod yesterday, she dropped the ball.
deano

Hate to tell you this Adam, but I think Jodi's theory is right on.

Wade:
Perhaps she has an aversion to that KIND of sanwich. Next time you see her, try to weave in references about:

** Spiced ham and provolone;
** Tongue, lettuce and tomato;
** Hot pastrami on rye; and
** Fluffer-Nutter.

See what happens.
Ed Shirak Jr.

Please ladies, I explained to the young woman that it wasn't porn or related to 'Women's Issues'.
I think Deano could be right on the money

Ed Jr, I just re-read yours. What is a fluffer-nutter?

WADE

_________________________


What is Fluffer-Nutter? You are a communist. Often confused with something named for a stage hand on a porn set, its actually a sandwhich made with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff.

Peanut butter and fluff blows your Italian tuna out of the water!....(and its also a better sandwhich...)

Thank you... Thank you very much...

BREAKING NEWS ON THE ITALIAN TUNA C-BLOCK FORUM-
THIS JUST IN (MON NIGHT):


pardon the silence wade, i have been travelling . now, about the IT-C bomb. The problem is not that IT is too raunchy, it is that tuna =bad breath. Do you remember Chelsea's post about IT, and how she admitted right up front that it looks disgusting but tastes great? being very girly myself, I would wager that before you talk about things like tuna sandwhiches, mayonaise, sloppy joes or even barf and poop, you have to ally yourself to ones more prissy sensibilities by saying in a conspiratorial whisper -- "i know this sounds gross..."(after that disclaimer, even the most priggish will happily indulge in almost any topic).

now i know nothing about the IT sounds gross to you, and maybe i'm alone here on your blog, but i thought i would be daring and say what i really think. tuna makes me think of mayonnaise, and mayonnaise is a turn off.
jasmine

_______________________


I appreciated/respect and will take note of your comments Jasmine!
Thanks.

ps

There's no mayo though in the IT

wade


________________________

Wade: As your fellow Italian Tuna documentarian...I gotta say let's keep this all very simple.Jasmine is right. Julie and Jodi: wrong. No ffing way did she think you were a pornographer that's just insane.It's very simple: tuna does smell bad and is incredibly unsexy. Your instinct should have told you that. (And, by the way, meatballs wouldn't have fared much better.)--------Additional reading material for extra credit: It's odd, I was actually JUST discussing this with someone and we were agreeing that most people like tuna sandwiches, but it's still sort of embarassing to order one. Because it stinks and it's almost like kiddie food. Very unglamourous. In conversation, you could have said you were making a short film about one of the best sandwiches in Hoboken and that there's this ancient, historic Italian place called Fiore's that has this incredible homemade mozzerella and seeded italian rolls...etc...then worked your way into they have this imported italian tuna that is unlike anything you've ever tasted....and they COMBINE it, in the seeded bread, with the fresh mozzerella...I've gone on too long, but you get the idea. Just don't talk to any hot girls about Blimpies. YOU KNOW WHY.

CP

_________________________________

wade, the idea of you making a movie about an italian tuna sandwich is what is interesting, for some of the reasons CP and others mentioned above (e.g. it is a somewhat embarrassing order). if you were, say, making a movie about pizza, how interesting would that be? most people love pizza, but where is the intriguing angle? the IT has a number of interesting hooks: the somewhat offensive smell, the awkward wonder of what your breath must smell like after eating one. the disclosure of your itentions of making a movie about the IT was no problem, but the woman's lameness was on that night. maybe if you were to make a movie about foie gras, she would have been intrigued.

BEST CAPTION THAT MY BOYS AT NBC SPORTS SHOULD CONSIDER FOR THE 2008 OLYMPICS:Newest Olympic Event: Giant Pea Levitating.

SHOUT OF TO YANKEE FAN PATTY FITZ WHO is taping the game for me.
My VCR broke! After 7 wonderful years. Now I will go on a search for one less than $40.



Excited to see the game, though I will have ESPN gamecast on my work computer.

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Busy Sunday here at NBC SPORTS. Today for lunch they had chicken salad sanwiches on croissant rolls (not worthy salivating over - trust me! I drank a diet Sprite and ate a BLACK AND WHITE COOKIE (like a mini one).

Arena football is going on right now (and the Red Sox are on too, on another channel - SHHHHHHHH)

My buddy Barry (see photo) is working today. Barry is awesome. He's like the Magnum PI of NBC SPORTS.

Comedy?

I don't know. Maybe the back cover of my future novel "Being Wade!"

Thanks Mr J Gould for taking this pix.

Yes, I guess I can be pretty deep. This just proves it. Wow. Weee!

Been extremely busy today.
Cleaned my apt!
Took a long nap!
Took a long walk, Sinatra Park was so nice today.
Currently I am STILL editing the movie short I shot with Ms Chelsea Peretti
which will be debuting (hopefully) soon in NYC!

And guess what... an hour ago I started to crave Boston Market.

BUT WAIT:
I didn't go to the one in Hoboken (click here to see what happened the last time I was at... BM!)

So I hit the A&P and got the next best thing...

FROZEN BOSTON MARKET CHICKEN, and MASHED POT.
(I also got a can of string beans)

Yep, microwaved it and it wasn't bad. Don't think there was any E COLI in the frozen chix. Hope they have soap at the BOSTON MARKET FROZEN FOOD PLANT where they made my dinner!


(Yes, this is how I've spent my Saturday night so far.)

I don't care about my diet (at least for now). The weather is so good, so good!

I just took a little stroll to Union Square and there it was... MISTER SOFTEE! I knew what had to happen.

3 minutes later I had it already engulfed (or engulped) a chocolate milkshake -$3.50!

It was soo good! A pretty girl was looking over at me and said, "Wow! You drank that pretty fast." I turned around and smiled. "It's because I'm in love with Mister Softee."

Then she looked at me like I was strange and walked away. Yeah, she was probably headed to HAGAN DAZ! Some people just don't have a clue.

STILL THE BEST BARTENDER IN HOBOKEN!

Meet Pat, he is a bartender at my favorite pub in Hoboken.

How does he continue to be the best? I don't know, but he is.

He's like the Gregg Allman/Ron "Pig Pen" McKernan of bartenders.

Bravo Pat!

Though it's not my favorite sandwich of all time... it (the IT) is still very dear to my heart!

Yes, today I made the trip to Fiore's in Hoboken, grabbed the Italian Tuna and headed to the PATH STATION.

Yep,
Last night was a biggie!
There was a big gathering at a NYC pub of old NBC Pages and I was lucky to see many of the good people I worked with, as well as others who I am very fond of.

SPLENDID EVENT!

Bless the sweet hearts of MT and Claresa for buying me drinks!!!!

And of course there was a post party- at least for me and a few others.

I had just as splendid of a time with future WADE SHIRT owners Jenna and Sarah (hope the spelling is correct) as well as MR MATT YONKS!

Post Party consisted of beers and fries - and MR Yonks poking fun of New Hampshire!

Well... look who got the last word.

Yep, WADE!

As a Red Sox fan, how can I NOT be sick to my stomach having Jimmy Fallon in the NEW RED SOX BANDWAGON movie. As... gasp, a RED SOX FAN!


In the immortal words of my Great Aunt,

"YUCK!"

Okay I will come clean... 'Dellie' isn't exactly an EXCUTIVE'S ASSISTANT here at my job, she works at the Donut shop right across the street.

What is true... is that there is a 'solid' rumor that she has a crush on... me! OR at least that's what Joey in Repro says.

(He's watching me post this right now and wants me to say 'MET'S IN 05' for him.)

WADE MAN!

I don't know if all of this is true, but Joey who works in repro thinks 'Dellie' (short for 'Delouros') has the hots... for me!!!

I always walk into to work and chat with her and well, it seems ... according to Joey that "She in love with the WADE MAN!"

I'll keep you posted.

(this photo is an actress portraying 'Dellie' for the sake of her privacy)

Bravo Boys!!!

Thanks for the help today.

(In all seriousness, I hope both D. Jeter and Tito Francona, the Skipper are okay! Looking forward to the Sox home opener)

Begin...

Yesterday, I dropped a major bombshell declaring the MEATBALL HOAGIE (marinated in soy sauce and teriaki sauce) made by former co-workers Todd and Freya, as my favorite sanwich of all time.


Of course the readers of this site had somethings to say...

_______________________________________________

less mercury, too, right?

You made me realize I have no favorite sandwich. The grilled-chicken burrito at Papalote in San Francisco comes close, though.

Wow.

Yah. I still love the 'IT', but... I mean... The meatball hoagies... they are gone... but not forgotten!

The Meatball hoagies were my first love! You can never forget your first!

I'm curious to know if you've written in your blog more about the meatball sandwich or the italian tuna.

From what I've seen lately, my money's on the italian tuna.

_________________

I sort of forgot about the meatball hoagie (at least on the blog - not in my heart).

I was surprised to hear from Todd and Freya (creators of the special meatball hoagie)

Overall I think the 'IT' has gotten more coverage on the site.

Damn. I was always too busy driving a van to try that meatball sandwich. I'll always have my dreams, though.

We'll be back in New York on Memorial Day weekend Wade. I'll bring some meatball hogies on the plane with me and you can meet us at Newark. I'm glad you made the right choice for your fave sandwich, even though now I need to try the IT to see for myself.
Todd and Freya

Oh yeah, what a beautiful day!

Got up, grabbed an ice coffee at the Hoboken Dunkin Donuts and walked to the PATH Station. BOY OH BOY, lotta dog doodie in Hoboken (people don't like to curb their dawgs in the 'Boke).

They should really start fining people.

Seriously!

Here's a Variety of things I hope you will enjoy!


MICHELLE LEE!



HOBOKEN BASEMENT APT HOOKUP!

Loving the free soda at work!

Or more so... the Hi C Fruit Punch! I love that stuff! Sugar is good!

My co-worker Andrew says he doesn't drink soda... but last week I saw him drinking Sprite. I hope by outing him as a soda drinker he won't be upset with me.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

THE MEATBALL HOAGIE WITH SOYSAUCE AND TERIAKI SAUCE MADE BY FORMER CO-WORKERS AND 'FRIENDS FOR LIFE', TODD AND FREYA IS MY FAVORITE SANDWICH EVER!

Keep in mind I do still love the ITALIAN TUNA FROM FIORE'S IN HOBOKEN!

But I can have it any Friday (that's the only day it's offered at Fiore's). Todd and Freya now live in Seattle, so... it's not so easy to get the special meatball hoagie.

Had some sort of healthy wheat breakfast and now I am not feeling all that great.

WHAT WAS WADE LISTENING TO ON HIS WAY TO WORK:
Rolling Stones' Street Fighting Man
J Geil's Band 'Must have got Lost! (Live)
Jimmie Dale Gilmore 'Braver Newer World'

Now I gotta get back and... work hard.


FYI: I miss the free apple juice from my old job.

Here is Nick (aka THE FISH).

An avid Met Fan (and #1 ranked Dart Player in Hoboken).

For some reason... (it's not like he picks on me)... but I have to just... let him know... when... the METS LOSE!

ADAM WADE WILL ANNOUNCE WHAT HIS FAVORITE SANDWICH IS TOMORROW:

THE NOMINEES ARE-


ITALIAN TUNA FROM FIORE'S IN HOBOKEN

FORMER CO-WORKERS TODD AND FREYA'S MEATBALL HOAGIE

STAY TUNED!

Sox lost last night and you know what... I am too busy to talk about it!
Alright, I'll say this... Randy Johnson looked good! David Wells didn't look too bad (a little control problem though). The Yankees are like an ALL STAR TEAM! No holes in their lineup. Only 'injuries'/'desire' can keep them from winning it all.

Still feel good about the Sox! Yes, if this is your first time on this site I am a RED SOX fan!!!!!!


PEDRO OPENS THE MET SEASON TODAY:
I am very interested to see how Pedro does today for the Mets.

WADE'S Bitter PREDICTION:
Pedro will be on the 15 day disabled list by June 1st with a bad back.




THE WADE WEBSITE CELEBRITY SIGHTING:
Ed Sr (aka Mike C), this morning on the PATH TRAIN into NYC! Ed Sr works hard too!

WE ALL THOUGHT THE ITALIAN TUNA WAS WADE'S FAVORITE SANDWICH...

Todd at work makes good meatballs.

MEATBALL HOAGIE DAY!:

Thank you Todd and Freya!
Meatballs (with soy sauce) and Hoagie rolls.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MEAL IN THE WORLD.

I'm gonna eat 3 sandwiches today.
(4 meat balls in each sandwich).

I am such A MAN!


posted by Adam @ 10:30 PM

I plan on cleaning my apt tonight and then... watching the World Champion Boston Red Sox take on the Bronx Bombers!!!!!!


BIG NIGHT!


GO BOOMER!

WADE WORKS HARD TOUR '05 CONTINUES.

Working today at NBC SPORTS covering ARENA FOOTBALL wth the great AL TRAUTWIG. And of course my pal GLEN PARKER (who owns a WADE SHIRT!). Ate a cold egg and cheese sandwich that... just didn't cut it! Drinking bottled water and... well, I'm working hard.

Neil Young, One of my top 2 singers/songwriters/rockers/cool guys is recovering!
Get well soon, Neil!

(AP)
NEW YORK - Neil Young was treated for a brain aneurysm this week and remains hospitalized, although doctors expect a full recovery, his publicist said Friday.

(HERE IS THE ARTICLE I WROTE FOR THE VERY POPULAR INTERNET SITE: METHODSHOP.COM )

For years I was content with my little CD tower of music. I'd add a few albums once in awhile, but for the most part, I was happy with what I already had. That all changed when I got an iPod. Having instant access to every single song I had even owned made me hungry for more. In my quest for new music I found life in Dead Man.

Neil Young's experimental musical opus, Dead Man, is a perfect addition for anyone who likes a little feedback or owns a Sonic Youth CD. The album Dead Man is actually the soundtrack to Jim Jarmusch's 1995 film Dead Man.

If you are a die hard fan of Young's or into alternative music, you will love this album. There's some feedback and distortion, but the bulk of the album consists of one riff songs with several haunting renditions. An added bonus is audio of Johnny Depp reading William Blake poems on one of the tracks.

This album is perfect for the iPod especially if you have it on shuffle mode. Let yourself be surprised.

I first heard about this album my sophomore year in college after my brother mailed me a newspaper review of it. I was president of my school's film society and we had the movie playing there in the Spring (where I got to see it free - hey, I was the prez). I loved the movie and had the movie poster on my wall through my senior year.

The preferred time to listen to this album (if there is one), is on a long car-ride or train-ride. If it's dark out and/or raining, it will complete the mood. Like a fine Scotch. You may need an acquired taste for Dead Man, but... ahhh well worth it. A gem you keep hidden for particular times and particular moods.

Listen to samples of DEAD MAN

I don't have HBO (the channel it is running on right now).

But my dad is a pretty good critic and told me to check it out.

If anybody has any advice on how to see this movie (perhaps on the net), let me know!

I STILL LOVE THE MEATBOY HOAGIES...
...MADE BY Todd and Freya

YES, I RECEIVED THIS COMMENT ON MY BLOG

Wade, How soon you forget. You are the biggest bandwagon jumper. I thought our meatball hoagies were your favorite sandwich of all time. This whole Italian Tuna thing better be an elaborate April Fools joke to get under my skin. I bet you're rooting for the yankees on sunday......haha

-Todd and Freya


WADE TRIES TO EXPLAIN:
It's no joke... let me try to explain... I no longer work with these great people (TODD AND FREYA), and yes they did created one of my favorite sandwiches ever 'the meatball hoagie- with the meatballs marinated in soysauce and teriaki sauce'.

And now it looks as if I am stuck trying to choose which sandwich I love better...
This is all very difficult.

THIS COMING TUESDAY:
I will announce on THIS WEBSITE, what my FAVORITE SANDWICH IS OF ALL TIME (NO B.S.)... I will spend numerous hours thinking about it. I will come to a conclusion on Tuesday. I promise.

(photo of Todd who also created the LEMON-WADE softdrink)

ALSO:
I still hate the Yankees!!!!

AND MORE:
To my friends TODD AND FREYA - I HOPE YOU ARE BOTH WELL. I MISS YOU!!!

"Happiness is an Italian Tuna." -Anon

YES, IT'S TRUE!

I GOT UP REAL EARLY TODAY GOT THE 'IT' FROM FIORE'S

So I got up and stood with my 'IT' the rest of the way.

Right now I am eating cream of wheat, but I am thinking about lunch with the 'IT' (GOT A PLASTIC BAG THIS TIME - last time it soaked through the paper bag)

Went on the PATH train with the 'IT' smelling delicious.
A man next to me hacked up a lung coughing (nope, the **ick didn't cover his mouth).

I am super glad my 'IT' was protected in the plastic bag.
