FOLLOW ME. And just forget about that college bar thing, ok? Cool.

Thoughts for the day…one day away from the showdown.

Late post last night. The advantage about having your own blog…is having an outlet whenever I feel like it.
Here is the deal. I play hard, but most people forget how hard I work. I am working both this morning and tomorrow morning. I outwork pretty much everyone. So, lets get a blog out there…because I have work to do.
I assume I might also be the only person who woke up for this Vanderbuilt-Florida game. I haven’t watched a game all week. Jonesing.
I played well last night except for three hands. Two of those cost me my stack. You have to be good on ALL hands. Next time.
Yes, the queens got me again. I feel extra powerful when I have a queen. Wrong philosophy.
But, Ralph won. Ralph was out of commission for four weeks and STILL didn’t read my blog. Whatever…Aloof sports fans. Let’s get to it.
I came in 6th. Not good, and I wanted to be 3rd or 4th. But, dumb decisions.
Steelers have the weapons to win tomorrow. I am mentally prepared for a loss, but think we take it 27-23.
Falcons win 30-23. Too much offense.
At the end of this blog, I will post the latest blog template to be released in February. I would love your feedback.
I listened to this song 41 times straight last night. Here is your workout song for the day. Thanks, Matt, for the idea. Todays. Kyle from Littleton got me on this band, and I know ONE other person who has heard of or works out to them. Nonpoint. This is today’s song, but you need to listen ALSO to their remake of Phil Collins In The Air Tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaTPmxepCS8
This digital thing is amazing. No, people. I am not ignoring you. I am putting you in my blog. I get like one text every four days from friends. Not popular. Just blogging.
I have decided on an intern. He starts Wednesday. He comes from Ernst & Young. Well qualified gentleman. His name? Poindexter.
I am not good at squeezing movies into my schedule. Need to squeeze in Patriots Day…but not today.
I just heard on this Florida game the CBS Tourney music and I just got CHILLS. Cooler these days since I met the guy who wrote that song and met him after an orchestra performance last year.
Yes, I am classy. I have been to more opera, orchestras, and chorus performances in the last year than you have been to…in your life.
I think the New York State Theater in NYC was my favorite venue.
Think I will squeeze in a Gyruss game today. I feel an improvement to 125k coming today. Whatever I would get, my brother would probably double it.
Version 2.0.2 of myself is going…ok.
I might take off tomorrow. Steelers holiday.
And because I have to work tomorrow morning.
Seeing Kyle and Soup tonight. Pumped. OTT. Littleton. Damn, we had a hell of a crew back in the day…
Soup: Chris Campbell. Soup.
I have not made much progress on my House of Cards initiative. Maybe after football season, before March Madness, and before GOT.
I wake up every day and am a little slighted Presidents Club is in Cabo. For my entire childhood, Sammy Hagar told me to go there. Still in the plans, but not in 2017. Dammit.
I obviously, as you can tell, clearing the ENTIRE blog list.
I think if I hated Denver sports radio, I would still listen to it this year. SO nice having the Broncos out of the playoffs and my team still in. AND, there team in disarray.
Make a decision, John. Either focus on your first round project, and call it a rebuild. Give the ball to the Northwestern kid and call it Trent Dilfer time. Or, bring in Tony Romo.
I think if you don’t read Deadspin daily there is something wrong with you and you have the wrong blog.
Where ELSE would you find this nugget???? http://deadspin.com/heres-a-very-good-dog-showing-off-her-athletic-prowess-1791463991
Melo will consider a move. Melo. Just MOVE. I am going to LOSE it if I continue reading your drama articles. I can’t say you are not a winner, because you did that Cuse thing, and you did well in the Olympics, but…just. go. away.
Bosh to the Bulls? Well, THAT is adorable if it happens. Stop it.
Rodgers getting a “bug” this weekend will still not outdo the Jordan flu story. Don’t even try.
Johnny Football is sober. In related news, I have stopped blogging, Trump is smarter, the sky is now yellow, and Ross can’t play poker.
I think that if I was an assistant coach in the NBA, I would have done the exact thing that Wiz assistant did…all the time.
If you don’t read ten things weekly by Zach Lowe, then you only pretend to like the NBA.
Kind of like people pretend to read this fantastic blog.
If you think we won’t hear about more stories like Zach Orr in the NFL, then you are checked OUT from knowing the lay of the land in the NFL.
I think a great blog post would be simply the smiles in the tennis locker room when Djokovic went down the other day…
Tennis locker room…what an oxymoron.
Well, unless you were the great tennis player I was in high school. Our team played for one reason. First person off the court won a six pack. And those two dumbasses who went undefeated in doubles in Jersey until they met me my senior year in the playoffs probably had a horrible life after Chris S. and I beat the hell out of them in the third set.
Everyone else lost against the powerhouse. My tennis coach, Jim Breech, fought to let us finish. And we won. Probably sent those dudes in a lifelong bender. I was polite during the match. I never talk shit during anything. I am so polite.
I admit it I wasn’t even clear that Lindsey Vonn was skiing again, let alone winning.
I know both players’ games VERY well. I think the Rubio-Jackson swap would be a PERFECT example of “change of scenery for no reason at all.” Both are good, and wasting their primes.
I don’t EVER remember writing here that the Timberwolves would be awesome this year.
I am classy. When I lose $100 at poker, I still know to wake up and take my wife to a nice brunch.
That is where she wants to go. I am on a roll, but have to take a quick break. Be back in a few. Don’t miss me too much. LOTS of good stuff and pics to come.
(gone)
(back)
Odd. Always great food, but actually got bad service at Beast & Bottle today. Doesn’t usually happen.
Chicken Cherry Sausage and the fries with sauce were still to die for.
Who I see today. Soup is possibly the largest person I have as a friend. Like muscular offensive linemen large. Loves Seinfeld. Which is A+ in my book as you know. Kyle. One of my favorite people in life. I blurted out to his to be wife that he liked him. I don’t think I get credit for their wedding still, but whatever. DJ Rob. Not coming. But, going to the Toad Tavern today, which I hear no one hangs out at anymore, but we will see. Nichole Boss. Arnel and Nichole are 1a and 1b on best bartenders I have ever worked with. Mark Lane. Owner of OTT responsible for my broken rotator cuff and right toe nail that has never grown back. Not his fault, but he was still responsible.
Kyle:
That is his beautiful family. Let’s see if we can find a more fun one.
Found one of Rob AND Kyle.
Let’s see what else we have… this isn’t Soup, but he is more off the internet than Ralph is. Can’t find one. Will get one tonight. This is the co-owner Mark Lane.
Hopefully, Boss is bartending. Rockstar.
I seriously can’t find a picture of Soup. He beat Ralph for being most off the internet.
Drunk History’s co stars are the best surprise you could ask for in a day. You are missing out on life if you ignore the show. Hate the show. Watch it for the co-stars.
Lindsey just learned from that show that Whitney Houston did NOT sing that horribly irritating love you song initially. Thanks for the Dolly update.
I am a day plus 4 hours away from the Steelers game. You think you might know a huge Steelers fan. Maybe someone in your inner circle SAYS they are the biggest Steelers fan. Ok. NOT. I am the biggest Steelers fan. Done and done.
I am jittery about tomorrow.
Probably no blog tomorrow. I will probably wake up, freak out, work, freak out, and then call it a “steelers holiday.” Just a heads up. I won’t be able to put my thoughts on paper tomorrow before Foxboro.
Everytime I say “ugghhh,” I think of Tom Brady. Ugghhh.
#3 on my man crush list, but NOT this week. Not this week.
That was a play on Gladiator. “You will see her again, but not yet. Not yet.”
If I tell you about my blog list item about Pinche lockers, then you know about them and they are not a secret anymore.
Dammit. I just told you. Dammit.
Totally clearing the blog list/ google doc today. So, I will tell you again how much I love the Fuego Box.
There was a women’s march in Denver today. Good for them. They hogged the sidewalk after their little “march.” Ugghhh.
I thought of my blog theme over brunch and am SO excited about it. That is kind of stupid. Because I am writing this now with no blog theme, but you have already read it. I am silly.
The Knicks lost again late. What my Twitter buddy said. Same game. Played 82 times.
Actually he is not my Twitter buddy. He stopped following me because he is a NYC Dbag. Funny guy, and I still follow him, but a Dbag regardless.
I am trying to not think about how Donald Trump is now running our country. Luckily, I don’t get updates on ESPN’s main page.
My shoulder was shit three weeks ago. Somehow, doing dumbbell pushups instead of regular pushups has eliminated the pain. Weird.
Working for commissions is awesome and I would have it no other way. Not selling anything for a few months SUCKS because there are no commissions.
Mike Leach can talk smack on the SEC. Most of you probably say “who is he? shut up.” Who is he? He is an arrogant bastard who was on the coaching staff at Kentucky when UK ripped the entire SEC and became the #1 draft pick (bust). He basically wrote the song Take On Me. He beat the system and his remnants still exist at wedding parties.
That was funny. I just made that up.
If you think LeBron James doesn’t have us all fooled, know that about the time he fades into the sunset, his son will be enrolling at UK. 6 years, people. Brace for it.
I might be the only person on this earth who has never, not one time, gone on FB from my phone. Ever.
Of course, I go on at 330am when listening to Sixx Am, but that is another issue.
I listened to Solange, Beyonce’s sister, on SNL the other night. She sucks.
I have feedback on the Aussie Open, but all I can think about is football right now.
UVA is playing right now. Second game in a row not televised. Can’t wait for the meat of their schedule in a week. I have become spoiled.
When Jimmy Butler said they are terrible, did he pronounce it like Sir Charles? Every time I see that word, I think of him.
CLASSY way to get that record, Mr. Rooney. That free kick was astounding. http://deadspin.com/wayne-rooney-becomes-manchester-uniteds-all-time-top-sc-1791464240
Gee. Thanks for the apology fan “tweet,” Mr. Wade. Or, you could just talk to us.
I say that, but we all know I am addicted to Twitter. Dammit.
FSU is playing Louisville right now in bball. They are at home, and should win, but still would be a wake up call win. I feel like people know that Louisville is dangerous, but have no idea about FSU.
OK. I will probably post some stupid Steeler shit tomorrow, but for today I think I am done.
The theme? Relax. Follow me. No, I don’t want GB-Pitt II, as the first one almost broke my heart. I want Atlanta if we win. But, the theme resonates, and is perfect for the next 24 hours. Half a season ago, two Super Bowl winning QB’s basically slowed their team’s roll and said let’s do this in different ways. Rodgers told everyone to relax. Ben said to follow me. Both were right in their own way.
This is the next viral work photo. You don’t know the other ones? I will educate you. First. This is my mentor. This is when he had chips before he lost to Ralph.
Before I go further, I will say this. Seinfeld says he is not being racist if he LIKES the race. Well, I am posting pics of my mentor and complimenting him. Write your own blog if you have problems. I would take a bullet for Ross, and he reads this thing JUST enough to possibly catch this. Probably not though.
So, to set the stage. This is the original photo.
That is not Ross, but while looking, I found the picture of Ralph/ Rob.
Ralph. $10 if you name the name of the bar I watched every single LeBron James basketball game at in his high school years, because, I WAS the biggest LBJ fan before he went pro.
That is the only picture of Ralph on social media I believe.
That’s not Ross either, but I found my favorite pic of one of my favorite guys who got THIRD last night.
That’s Casey. He did NOT play but found his pic too.
That is nor Ross. That is Rikki-Tiki-Tavi, the baddest ass EVER.
That is not Ross. That is John. John never called me after I saw him bartending a month or two ago. Whatever.
That is me hanging out with my neighbor, Ervin. Sooner or later, we will get back to Ross.
That is not Ross. That is his constant, odd, collection of bananas he always has. Odd for a single guy.
That is not Ross. That is me and my wife postgame last week.
Lindsey is a hell of a dancer.
Hoban.
Ok, now we are getting somewhere. So, this is the setup pic. Avery gives the middle finger to everyone in pics, and Ross joined her, but Ross mentioned that he has more history with this endeavor. More to come. Searching…
Not Ross. But a funny pic of brothers on the strip.
Another example of Avery. I have like ten of these.
Not Ross, but still searching for that pic. How did EVERY single man in the 1980’s get brainwashed into thinking Molly was hot? Tell me.
Avery in a quality moment WITHOUT giving anyone the finger.
I miss this guy. Where are you, Pancho?
All KINDS of great pics. Still looking for the money one before I post the ultimate.
See? Everyone loves Ervin.
Forgot about this one.
My boss. Love that guy. Still searching for money pic.
My old boss. Miss him.
Actually, that pic has the guy I sit next to, my old, old boss, my old boss, and my wife. Great shot.
Too many people to name, but glad my old boss got in the middle finger theme.
THERE is one of Ross and Hoban.
Now we are getting close. Ross a long, long time ago. Still searching for that old school one…
Lindsey’s brother. Love that photo.
Closer…
My boss.
Probably doing some glam rock…
I took a picture of the hand I lost to Nate Roe on…
Getting closer…
My lady…
My best man.
Not my best man, but kind of dangerous when we hang out. This is about an hour before I jumped OFF of the boat in the ocean.
My beautiful mother…
I jut always feel the need to show a picture of Rudy.
Bachelor party when I made us walk to the fountains and forgot they were done for the night.
Well, you know. My #1 outside of my wife.
The guy who got me to START this blog.
More of the same…
And FOUND it. The beginning.
The middle.
And now the pic that started this whole search. Ross at age 22 doing what Avery always does…but kind of better.
The search engine reset me back to beginning. Nice time to quit.
That’s it. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Onward and upward. Peace.
SIDE NOTE 1: I am bouncing off of walls about tomorrow. Emergency calls only between 4 and 8 Mountain. I want to talk to no one.
SIDE NOTE 2: Anyone find it bothersome I wrote 86 hooks (which became more when I went to add Ross pics) after I just posted at 330am the same day. My brain has so much going on. Going to go do some work. OUT.
SIDE NOTE 3: I have said it before and I will say it again. This is the FIRST games that Ben, Brown, and Bell have been healthy and on the field together. Gather what you want from that. NOW out.
SIDE NOTE 4: The template I am working on. This is what I have thus far.
Read it, don’t read it, I don’t care…just needed to get some things off my chest.
In no particular order of chronology or importance…
