Dr. Odgers, Weight Watchers, North Korean Olympians

A few things happened today:

I had my first interview where I had to leave a message for an employer.  Not a video.  Just straight up voicemail.  I get it, they want to ensure that I can communicate in a form other than cover letter.  It just felt like I left the single longest voicemail in the history of non-butt dialed voice mails. 

My little sister today explained to me how Weight Watchers works.  She went into detail on the points system.  So that was really something.  

For the last two days I have been bread and pasta free.  Not carb free.  Just bread and pasta.  I figure if I am not going to drink beer I may as well cut out the other fun stuff.  Though with all of the "low carb flu" articles I am reading there will be a steady dose of rice, fruits, and vegetables.  Low carb flu sounds like the nastiest flu of all.  A pretentious flu.  

I was thinking about it.  Typically I take January as my "healthy" month.  It has nothing to do with a resolution and everything to do with the amount of sugar, fat, and alcohol that is everywhere between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I feel like my cup is overflowing by January 1st and it isn't like I am depriving myself of anything it is more that I don't want to keep stuffing sugar cookies in an already overpopulated stomach.  Sugar cookies are fighting for real estate with a pork roast and I'm sure it is getting real.  

Does it surprise anyone that figure skating is the only event the North Koreans will be participating in the Olympics?  I'm not one to root for NK, but I don't want to see what happens to them if they don't bring home the gold for their PetSmart groomed leader. 

Danica Patrick and Aaron Rodgers.  Or as I call them Dr. Odgers.  Yeah, that'll last...

I am going to miss Miami when I leave.  This weather is fantastic. I went for a run today (this is before I was told that Weight Watchers might be a good idea) in shorts and a tank top.  Glorious.

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.
