Turkey Day Fallout

What's up y'all. Hope you had a good Turkey-day, I ate so much so I had to hit the gym today, I've already got my fat suit on for the year so I need to drop some ellbees (that's lbs for you that don't know slang). Had an awesome time at mom and dad's playing vids and doing nothing. Unfortunately in addition to all the turkey I ate tons of licorice so yeah I'm not feeling very fit right now.

Good weekend for "real" football - Dawgs dominated apple cup and Hawks beat the Rams. Unfortunately my fantasy football week wasn't so good - I got my a$$ handed to me by some dork at work but I plan on exacting my revenge in the playoffs but considering the fact he probably can't talk to a woman without giving his credit card, I guess I've already won.

Big shout out to Don and Barb who put on quite the feast for Thanksgiving, that brine method made the bird taste insane! Good stuff, sorry I did not grace you all with my presence at Aunt Linda's but I heard it was off the chain!

Getting ready for a day trip to Orange County tomorrow. We're visting our top client to buy their love...er I mean to meet with them to see how things are going. Then next week I head all the way to South Carolina to meet a potential large client - they send in the closer, AKA me when they need to get the big deals done.

In other news, I hate this refurbished Dell those morons gave me - it's worse than what I had before, I'm going Mac next round. Sorry Bill (Gates).

Lastly, you may have heard on the local news about this scumbag who shot those 4 officers point blank. It's amazing the low life scum that is out there, I hope they find this human waste and put him away forever. If you want to donate, here is the link: http://www.lpig.us/. If you can spare it, I would try to donate something, a lot of these officers had families so try to give if you can.

Sorry to end on a bit of a sour note, but wanted to send a shout out to all my bloggas out there!

Peace!

What's up my bloggas!

Hey there, I think I've blogged more times this week than I have in the last few months. In case you were all wondering I came back and won at the last minute in my Fantasy Football league and the guy I was up against was talking smack all week. Let's just say he now bows in my presence.

Getting ready for another weekend which I hope is filled with some competitive football. Thank god I have fantasy football to keep me interested because I just don't know about my Hawks and the Huskies are still improving, but just can't seem to close out the wins.

I went to my physical therapist today and it was more of an initial consultation. I'm really looking forward to getting on a solid program. I have a better sense now of what types of things I need to stay away from and look forward to getting back in the normal swing of things. A lot of what I was doing were the wrong types of exercises and things that were just bad for my back.

Holly is doing well, we are hoping to get her website up soon. When it's ready I will send out a link to everyone. In case you don't know she is doing interior design and she is a frickin Picasso with design so if anyone is looking for a home makeover...I know shameless plug.

Speaking of plugs, or should I say...pugs, Coop is also doing well although he's having some skin irritation issues - what can I say he's just a sensative guy.

Before I go, I hope everyone called any military veterans they know yesterday. I think more than ever we need to make sure we support our troops. They are the true heroes and lay it on the line every day and many still get the short end of the stick when they come back and it's just not right. I know Holly and I ran into some military folks after the Hawks game and I proudly shook their hands - they are the best so a huge thanks to all those in the military!

Also, happy belated b-day Jim, sorry when I called yesterday I totally spaced it but we had a good chat tonight. I'm hoping I end up taking that trip to SC so we'll definitely hang out.

I have to run, I think I'm burning dinner!

Later

What up!

Huskies lost this Sat and it was a heart-breaking loss. Hawks came back to beat the lowly Lions and I'm in a dogfight for my Fantasy Football life!

It's Veteran's Day this week - always remember and never forget!

It's November Baby!

Hey gang! How's it going, it's crazy how it's getting so dark so soon. I found myself nodding off the other day and it was only 6:30!

I went in to the back doctor and I was able to avoid the cortisone shot but the plan is to start going to a Physical Therapist. I'm looking forward to it and I think I've been able to get a better sense of what I need to do or better yet not do. The doc was able to diagnose me pretty quick and not the physical part, but rather the pattern of behavior that was contributing to my back pain. Basically, it's really a matter of not doing certain exercises in the gym and avoiding things that can contort or twist my back - it sucks getting old. It's especially hard considering I was such a superior athlete back in the glory days (ask Jimmy he knows).

I just finished Ratchet and Clank and the game is awesome! I'm looking forward to getting either Demon's Souls or Dragon's Origins - I hear it makes WOW look like kids play (sorry mom, but it's true). This is the time of year when the really sweet games come out and combined with it getting dark at 4:30 it's game on baby!

I'm looking forward to hopefully a successful football weekend - the Huskies play tomorrow and Holl and I are going to the Hawks game - Birds of Prey!!! I've been kicking some "a" in my fantasy league too so that's been lots of fun.

In other local news, our state passed Ref 71 (allows same sex couples to have the same rights married folks have excluding marriage) which of course has the christians in a tizzy which is usually not a difficult thing to do. Basically anything that relates to living in the 21st century upsets them. Apparently giving similar rights to a group of people who make up less than 1% our entire population is somehow a threat to traditional marriage. Considering 50% of hetero's get divorced, maybe they should focus their efforts elsewhere. For instance, my 401K is down 50% and my home has lost 20% of it's value over the last year and I think the Devil has something to do with it, or maybe Bank of America (perhaps they are one in the same?).

I almost forgot to mention, Holly and I will have some pics to post from Halloween last week. I was a Gladiator and she was a Hot Vampire. The night is still fuzzy although I think I lost some blood because I was feeling woozy. The last thing I remember was Holly saying she was thirsty...
