I must blog you. And, I don’t have TIME not to blog.

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…

On the clock.  Not an airplane rant. Speed version.  Afternoon rant.  Limited list, but I am frisky.  Let’s turn and burn.

I am shaving my head for the fight against children’s cancer.  Donate if you would.  https://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/759142/2015

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat, because somehow this blog became all about fishing).  
2. Thanks, Joe.  Second call to my chief of staff for an old school beer night on me.  Expiration is in 3 days. COB.  He came up with this fishing thing.  He just has become too important to our company.  Damn, progress and a young stud selling more shit than he knows what to do with.
3. Any Ocean movie is a FANTASTIC way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Twelve sucked, but 11 and 13 are solid.
4. Well, at least until Wisconsin-Michigan State starts, because an MSU win probably means that UVA won’t play them as a #8 seed in the second round.
5. JJ, pops.
6. I love JJ.  We are at opposite ends of the building these days, but he is one of the most complete sales people I know, is young for being that advanced, and pretty much is just cool as shit.  I miss you, JJ.  He used to come in every morning, and go “Buster…”
7. We will get to sports in a second, but props to my fiancee’s brother, Drew. I thought getting my Christmas present two months later was kind of lame, but then I got THIS.  
8. In addition to a Steelers note pad dispenser, which I am still figuring out what I would use it for aside from a UFC party where somehow I had EVERYONE with a note on their face with a “message.”
9. I am not well liked overall, but I am a pretty fun dude.
10. During cleaning today, I also noticed that everyone drew a dinosaur on a paper plate.  I always win, but always question why we are drawing dinosaurs.
11. But I LOVE you, Avery.
12. You know who you are. You all did it.
13. No one gave me any money for the fight, but I would say the best part of hosting a party is all of the alcohol people forget to take.
14. And scarves. Anyone missing a scarf?  I have a red one and a black and white one.
15. If ANYONE makes a dress reference, I will kill you, your family, like Keyser Soze.  
16. Russell Westbrook was making a HELL of a run at the MVP. This facial surgery thing sucks, and RIGHT after he posted another triple double.  
17. If you are reading this and don’t know what a triple double is, you BETTER be a friend of Lindsey’s, because otherwise you are on the wrong URL.
18. Is this Cricket World Cup shit done yet?
19. I want to talk about the Rousey fight, but am holding it in…until the end. It is tough.  
20. Will, thanks for coming to my party, and totally understand if you don’t come again. Watching him watch the BYU game, where the Zags lost, was painful to say the least.  I was JUST about to advance them to the Final Four regardless on strength of schedule.  
21. Will, they would have lost whether you came to my party or not.
22. I think it would have been funnier if some pitcher from Canada or somewhere where it snows got hurt leaving a pool. Tampa is boring.
23. I guess they ALL are in nice weather though right now.
24. OK, we can’t own a dog because we can’t do it logistically, but here are the three contenders for our first pet that will greet us at the door.  
25. 
26. 
27. Turks is still in the lead for our wedding spot, because I like water slides, and it has a BUNCH.  
28. Only better beach I have seen is Trunk Bay.  Steve (Lindsey’s dad) doesn’t read this, but I had goosebumps the entire day there and he KNOW he beaches.  
29. I am 12. I like macaroni and cheese, water slides, and snow.  
30. I just got informed the other day that people these days don’t think about putting hot dogs in your mac and cheese.  Shame.
31. I am still waiting for someone to email me about me covering their tab and them THINKING they know more about hockey then me. I would be scared too.  Think about this.  What if Lemeiux hadn’t missed all the games he missed?  If he hadn’t come back near the end, he would STILL lead the masses on most points per game.  Because he came back, The Great One is at 1.9 and Mario is at 1.8.  I would be glad to talk.  Bring your A Game.  
32. The Great One is the best nickname in anything…ever.
33. Crazy how things change in your life. I was all over Cholula a couple months ago, but now, if there is no Sriarcha, I now go Tabasco.  
34. Unless Saso is in the house. Seriously, Marczyk’s is the store in the world that Lindsey and I are SCARED to send the other person to.  You go for one thing.  You walk out with like 10 things.  
35. Try it. Control group is massive.
36. Sad week. We had the first black NBA player die AND the first Chicago black MLB player die this week.  I have my problems, but I know this.  If you look down on anyone for their race, you have a big hill to climb.  I am the most genuine person for race, sexuality, etc.  I have actually gottne in fights just because someone is NOT like I am.  I hope anyone who has any bias against a race just has a brutal death.  I am serious.  
37. I think the last hook probably was because my parents left me at basketball courts as the lone white guy and I HAD to adjust and make friends.  
38. Luckily, I had a corner shot that destroyed people. I patterned my game oddly on THIS guy.
39. Scott left me in charge of our Hoop It Up team name.   Deez Nuts.  Three white dudes rolling with that name.  
40. Luckily, passing to Scott usually led to a score.
41. I bartended for 14 years and was the best ( in my opinion and several others). This strainer thing they have for the martini’s and the auto cut thing for the fruit cutting makes me ANGRY.  If I was the best before, imagine how good I could have been with THOSE two items.
42. Lindsey and I are now fighting. I said last night that if I looked like Sean Penn at his age, my life is satisfied.  She said he is ugly.  We are still working it out, and he is one good looking old guy.  He is like the 2000’s version of Sean Connery.  
43. 
44. I sold my weights today for $50, $40 if you brought people to cart them out. I got such a fast response that I am thinking I could have gotten $70.  Evidently, not everyone has a TRX.
45. It is Sunday, and I just watched fighting last night. Where is Rocky IV?????????????????  
46. I was wrong about Arkansas giving UK a run yesterday. I admit that, Arkansas will still wreck your bracket as a 4 seed, and UK is getting even better.  Scary.
47. If you have some free time, I will buy the drinks, and I will name you every college basketball champion since 1970, every World Cup since 1930, every Super Bowl winner since…it came about, every NHL hockey champion since 1965, every World Series winner since 1978, and we can talk about why I don’t just memorize the years before those years.
48. I will say this. You will pat yourself on the back about how many sports you know…and then you talk to me.  Depression usually follows.
49. Yes, I am cocky. I don’t feel like writing my Dream Job story right now, but I am…dirty.
50. I think they are not showing the UVA games anymore because they are boring and really, really good.
51. I will come clean. I would have bet my rent that ISU would have covered or beaten KSU the other night.  That is why I am retired.
52. I still might bet on the Olympics.   I will host a party.
53. I notice that I just ramble sometimes. I hope you love reading this thing, because I LOVE writing it.
54. It is 130pm. Lindsey is napping (for a person 14 years older than her, I am the freaking Energizer bunny), and she will wake up to me telling he that MSU and Wisconsin are playing.
55. Yup.  This might have been covered before.  I don’t care.  I told everyone to go to the bathroom 30 minutes before the Rousey fight began.  I was right.  She is amazing.  Come to my next party.
56. Finally, it took me a while to find it online, but I found the video with Tom Hanks and John Candy saying “Ya” in Splash.  Lindsey never understood my joke before.  She gets it now.  Nice.  
57. One more thing.  If you haven’t seen Predator, you are missing out on life.
58. Seriously, what needs to be said about Ronda?
59. 
60. If you are too young or live in a vacuum, you are welcome.

61. I hope you are either more informed, more happy, or more entertained. Actually, I don’t care, because I write this blog for ME.  FOR ME.
