I planned to write 5 days ago. I just haven't had the interest lately.
1) This isn't the most I've ever driven in one weekend. But I must have set a personal record for hour long drives with 8 in a 48 hour span. Airport and back twice, Chicago Ridge and back, then to Wheaton to Geneva to then home, and finally, West Chicago to Wheaton to home. I swear by Sunday morning, I heard my car say "Man, I'm out."
2) ROH was awesome again last Saturday. One word: TEAMWORK!!!!
3) I'm halfway through reading Bret Hart's book. Top notch. This is a must read.
4) I painted my bedroom. I like the sea-esque blue. It feels very different and it's cool.
5) Volleyball did not get off to a good start. When Eli comes back, things will be better. But I seriously hope Andy never comes back. The man is 6'2'', and cannot jump. To quote someone else, he couldn't spike a drink.
6) The St. Charles Daily Herald office is closing this spring. I do think my time here is over. I'm not willing to drive 30 minutes ewach night. Even with a proposed raise, it will barely cover my gasoline expenses. So the question is what can I do with that extra time.
7) A 92 year-old blind amateur golfer just hit his first hole-in-one. If I hadn't hit one before, I would hate this guy.
8) Took 90 minutes to drive home last night from work.
9) JOHAN! JOHAN! JOHAN! But with what's going on right now, I can't bring myself to celebrate.
10) When do Mets tickets go on sale? It can't come soon enough.
Song pick: "Last of the Singing Cowboys" Marshall Tucker Band. I really identify with the character in this song, except I can't sing a lick.

3 brat night
Well, I learned one thing today. Three bratwursts will fill you up! Let's Go Giants!
Next weekend will be awesome! Ring of Honor on Saturday and Come Thirsty, volleyball, and Ghengis Grill on Sunday. Doesn't get much better than that.

Amazing
Congratulations to the Giants for winning one of the greatest football games I have ever seen. I watched the first half at home and the second half at Tara's house with Come Thirsty. I have not seen a Giants team play together like this since their Super Bowl year of 1990. Man, when Lawrence Tynes missed those two field goals, all I could think was Doug Freakin' Brien! But he made the 47-yarder two minutes into overtime and that was it. 23-20. Now it's on to the Super Bowl against those scumbags from Foxboro.
Now, in contrast to that, we have the Rangers. No heart, no desire, no unity. Another loss to Boston, something needs to be done. A trade, a firing, something dramatic to wake these Pinocchios up from the lull that they play in.

Off Facebook post
As I've become aware of a few things this week, I've come to a couple of conclusions.
1) I'm already sick of cold weather.
2) Swimming in a pool when you're on vacation is easy. Doing it competitively takes a lot of work. And after the way my eyes were burning after 5 minutes on Monday, I have to buy some goggles.
3) It amazes me how many single couples live together. I know at least 6 right now at work. About 5 million couples do that in the US right now. And I heard today that 90 percent of those couples never get married. And of the ones who do, they're twice as likely to divorce. Coincidence? Could be.
4) This NFL season has been boring, almost as boring as the typical college football bowl season.
5) That said, Brandon Jacobs' TD celebration of slamming the ball into the play clock and the resulting bang was one of the greatest I've ever seen.
6) Frontera makes the best jarred salsas.
7) I really wish I had the NHL Network.
8) Now I know what really went down. And here's the deal. If you're going to string me along and then deceive me, do it to my face. Don't do it over the phone. And definitely don't do it through a mass e-mail at 10:00 at night on a Wednesday. That is a tramp with a capital T.

What am I thinking?!
I am the only human being in the world who would in the same day:
1) Commit to doing his first mini-triathalon
2) Eating a slice of leftover Paula Deen's bacon cheeseburger meat loaf and lyonnaise potatoes and drink a pair of beers at 11 pm.
I'm not proud of it, but I haven't eaten in 8 hours and it was either that meat loaf (which I will never eat again BTW) or plain tortilla chips. Besides, I'm starting my training tomorrow morning, it's still technically Friday night. A few other things.
1) I cannot dance, at least not when a video game is involved.
2) Cherry Coke is back in the vending machines at work! No more zero calorie diet Cokes! Yes!
3) The only thing more annoying than someone promising to call you and not doing it? A person promising they'll facebook you and not doing it.
4) Is there a board game out there that doesn't take over an hour to figure out how to play?
5) Can the Rangers beat anyone in the Western Conference?
6) How has fantasy golf already begun again?
NFL playoff predictions:
First Round
Giants over Bucs
Seahawks over Redskins
Chargers over Titans
Jaguars over Steelers
Second Round
Cowboys over Giants
Packers over Seahawks
Patriots over Jaguars
Colts over Chargers
Conference Championships
Packers over Cowboys
Colts over Patriots (thank you God!)
Super Bowl
Colts over Packers
