A-Rod, Weiner, NFL

Some musings

How about that A-Rod?  If I were that guy I would take the money and run.  He sucks as a baseball player due to his failing body.  He is a horrible human being.  He can't stay out of the papers.  Just go to Miami where people might like you and stay there.  Like you need to bleed the Yankees for another $80m?  I think  he made out on that contract.

Anthony Weiner - I fucking love that guy.  Best part is that when asked if there would be more women coming forward he responses with (and I am paraphrasing here) "Yeah, there could be a few more out there."  Basically saying, you guys haven't even seen the good stuff yet.  Fuck it, he's a horny dude who was going through a "rough patch" with his wife.  I'm not saying he's a good or a bad guy.  He's just a horny guy who women were able to get some press for themselves by exposing him.  Should he be smarter?  Yes.  Do guys think with their dicks from time to time (or in Weiner's case...time and time again)?  Yes.  As I recall George Washington died of an STD, FDR died with his mistress at his side, JFK banged anything that walked into the White House, Bill Clinton was shoving cigars in interesting places.  It is a matter of context.

The NFL.  It is almost back.  Which means my Sundays will now be a combination of Tom Brady, me cursing the Patriots defense, and beer.

I am thinking about taking some classes.  You know, to learn stuff.  I don't feel like I'm overly intellectually challenged at work right now.  "Go sell more shoes" is about as creative as I get.

Update - I decided as I was writing this that I really want to take the class so I signed up.  See if I can get my advertising on.  I have been actively working on some ideas for a portfolio.  Hopefully this helps me get it together.

Boy, when is the next presidential election?  I can't wait for that.

Seen Ray Donovan?  Neither have I.  Fucking CBS and Time Warner best get their shit together and reach an agreement.  Not going to be happy if this interferes with my Sunday football experience either.

You know how I work at a running store.  It has actually made me not want to run at all.  Ironic.

If I won the lottery I would open a tap house that exclusively sold IPA.  Also, I would wear shorts everywhere.  And I would go to England.  And Ireland.  And Fiji.  Ok, so I would travel.

I promise to write more blogs.  I really do.  I am happier when I write more often and I have realized that has been lacking.

Why Dry January Sucks -

Each year for the last ten or so I attempt to do some form of holiday excess cleanse.  This isn't unique.  I have read a lot about different experiences people have had with not drinking for 31 days to start the year and they are all the same and very different than mine.  So here goes - This is my experience with not drinking for the month of January.  Ok, so maybe not the entire month... 1.  I woke up the morning of January 1st 2021 and....made myself a mimosa.  So right off the bat, dry January fail.  Whatever, we had leftover champagne and not so fresh OJ in the fridge.  This was me dedicating myself to being less wasteful in the new year.   2. As soon as I had that first drink, what the hell, football was on, may as well head to the corner store for a six pack and a pack of smokes and really get after it.  Please note, I do not smoke, it is just an expression.  3. I head to the corner store to buy some Powerball tickets and another six pack.  I walk back in 20 minutes later wi

Oprah, Arby's, Do Not Disturb

Life has been relatively amazing the last few months.  I decided to take some time off to travel, visit with friends & family, and to write/work on some creative projects/focus on the next career move.  A few thoughts: 1. When I am driving down the highway and I haven't seen an Arby's for a hundred miles.  I will say to myself, "Where the fuck is the Arby's?"  That said, I visited an Arby's that was OUT OF ROAST BEEF.  It was the low point of the last 4 months.  2. The movie "The Big Short" is listed under the "Comedy" section on Netflix.   Can we all agree that is a sick joke of some sort?  Yes, the movie has a few zingers in it, but a movie about millions of people going broke and losing their homes is not what I would consider "funny".   3. I'm not saying I want Oprah to run for president, but I certainly wouldn't bet against her.  Her ability to connect is what Hillary lacked.   Oprah is great an

We Have All Lost Our Minds

I was having a conversation last night where the words, "Each day is worse than the last" were spoken.  I'm not sure that I'm there quite yet, but whoa.... we are at an 11 and need to get down to maybe a 4.  I am friends with people from a whole lot of walks of life.  Some incredibly liberal and others incredibly conservative.  There is one underlying theme that I can see in both sides.  They absolutely, 100%, without question, think the other side is wrong and they are right.  It is tough to watch what is happening to this country.  Nevermind the fact that we are living in this turmoil daily. I would ask my conservative friends - was life so bad under Obama?  Do you genuinely feel that he was trying to hurt you and your family?  I really don't.  You may disagree with his policies, but the entire idea of wanting to end two wars, keeping the economy upright, not wanting our planet to melt, and getting people healthcare isn't exactly a reason to hate the guy.
