Randomness 4.0

Nonsensical findings and thoughts from me. Enjoy....

+ F you Lakers! Now I am forced to deal with another 2 weeks minimum of my sports talk radio be taken over by the over analysis of everything Lakers. I don't care who Andrew Bynum is dating, how is this important? How many times do I have to hear from Kurt Rambis in a week?

+ Sorry Leslie, it's science.

+ Vegas two weeks in a row. Life is good, I find when you are in a slump you have to just work through it. Just for the record I have now lost money 6 straight trips....I just added up how much I have lost, ouch!

+ I was in one of my accounts last week and was offered a starburst. So I accepted and they proceeded to hand me a yellow starburst. A yellow? Really? She skipped over the red and pink and gave me a yellow. I wanted to kick her square in the balls. Yeah I said her. Pretty sure she has balls. If anyone  ever offers you a starburst and then subsequently gives you a yellow you kick them right in the balls. Lets set a precedent here huh.

+ I've now joined Twitter! My twitter link along with some of my friends can be found on the right side of this blog. 

+ Cheers to the support system of my friends. Our first hockey game of the season and you guys came out in force to support us.  You rule. 

+ Simon and Taylor were recently talking about the color test. I want to take that again. Not because I hope to change my results, but because I forget what I was. No No I know I was a white, but what was my secondary color? Anyone?

+ A hotel pool in Vegas might be the douchiest thing on the planet. 

+ I decided the other night I am going to harass Lauren Hansen with uncomfortable texts for a good week or so.  Because I can.

+ I gained 5 pounds back and am not happy about it. Need to step my game up! Guess that is what happens when you have 14 celebrations for your birthday. Birthday celebration number 15 kicks off this weekend....

+ This and This are the two best movie trailers ever!

+ I love lost. Mythology, time travel, good vs. evil. Ohhh all the symbolism!! If you haven't watched this show I highly recommend renting the dvd's. And while I am at it let me wash the balls of Arrested Development and The Wire. Really amazing shows. Get on board.

+ Justin and Heidi, make it happen.

+ I know the girls that read this will role their eyes with this statement. But here it goes. Us boys need to find more time to play whiffle ball. I was thinking of Eric's BBQ the other day and how much fun we had playing . I want more of that. 

Finally, I want to give major props to the Anaheim Ducks GM Bob Murray for crushing a lady with a chair as the Ducks were scored upon in the last minutes of game 7. That is the type of commitment I want from my teams GM. How dare that woman get in the way of a man and his uncontrollable need to break something after his team fails.....

Starting 30 the right way: With lots of ball washing.....

Son of a bitch, or bloody hell or bollocks. I don't really comprehend what I am saying. I am just trying to appease the 4 people who read this blog regularly.  How am I doing so far?

I had this amazing blog post all done up full with a very comprehensive telling of the first 30 years of my life and how it has all gone wrong. Full with bashing ex-girlfriends, current friends and of course family. 

You all just had to ruin it with the throwing of a surprise party for my 30th birthday. Now i feel compelled to wash your balls a bit......

I think my dad put it best. He said, "You can tell who a quality person is by the people they choose to surround themselves with. And you have a bunch of amazing friends." Clearly he hasn't met Simon, what an a-hole!

But in all seriousness. I couldn't think of a better, and some will say gayer, way of kicking off the new look of the blog by just telling all of you how much the last few weeks have meant to me. I'm not one to want to draw a lot of attention to myself or be the main focus of conversation, that is why we have Ethan after all. But everyone wants to feel appreciated as a friend and all of you couldn't have done a better job of showing me you care by what you have done since my actual b-day on May 1st. 

So without further delay, here is a list of everyone I could possibly think of who A might read this blog and B who made me feel all gay inside when it came to my b-day. Let the ball washing begin(side note: you don't have to be a guy to be ball washed. It's a metaphor and in this instance most the woman have bigger balls to be washed than any of the boys).

Parents - They don't read my blog, they don't know about the blog. But I would feel like I was doing a disservice if I didn't start this off with expressing how much they mean to me and have molded me into the gay, lame, star wars shirt wearing, Simpson pajamas wearing , eye candy, that I am today. They are truly the two most generous people I have ever met. 

Ethan, Taylor, Justin, Eric, Playa - What can I say. It's truly hard for me to picture any fun moments in my life without one or all of you involved in one way or another. I couldn't think of a better group of guys to just get verbally abused from on a daily basis. 

Adri, Leslie, Katie - To put up with not only your boys but also the lifetime 3rd wheel in me is already enough to earn you a prize. But everything you guys have done these past few weeks is something I won't forget. Ethan and Taylor are lucky to have you guys. Katie you might be the nicest person in the world. Its borderline creepy how nice you are, wouldn't hurt to drop an F bomb now and again....

Simon, Carrie, Kyle, Sarah, Heidi, Morgan, Tim, Ethan, Annie, Jason, Katie, Alex, Carrie - Some I haven't known long, some I have known forever and lost touch with. But all of you are special people to me and it was really great for me to see you at the party. I love you all. Except Simon, what an a-hole!

Everyone else - blah blah ball wash blah blah. 

My overall point is just THANK YOU. I can't really express it enough. I feel blessed to have you all in my life. I feel blessed to share past, current and future fun with you. I truly feel that 30-40 is going to be even more fun than 20-30.
