final four bound

WAHOOOOOOO....Go MSU!!! Final Four bound, which means they are traveling 2 hours to D-town. Soooo exciting, watched an excellent excellent game today which made me all emotional :)

Congrats to MSU and to the state of MI!!! Final Four baby.

gehen sie tanzen???

Wir gehen tanzen!!! Yeppers T and I torn up some serious rug last night. We hit the town and shook things up until the after party (which was T's house with C). Last call? What, still shakin what my momma gave me. Here are some highlights:

1. There were European's everywhere in Cville, and they all wear scarfs to the bar.
   
2. A two Indian man/LL sandwich is not my idea of a good time.
3. Sri Lanka is in the middle of a war right now.
4. Most Indian men are in technology (following a night of stereotypes).
5. Salmon burritos make delicious pre-bar food.
6. All black men at the bar are hot.
   
7. New rule: if someone takes your umbrella at the end of the night, it is OK for you to take the any other leftover umbrella (even if it is an upgrade from your original).
8. If you are white, a lawyer, wearing pleeted khakis, and most likely high, you are seriously the hit of the party.....you are allowed to dance crazy and everyone in the entire bar is talking about you.
9. T and I were still up and to the gym by 9:30 AM each. We are just so amazing!
10. Great fun with good friends...a pre-event to the beer festival in NC.
    

Why am I speaking in German? I'm not sure if it is even right!

I'm still a big weener!

Yeppppppers I'm still a big weeeeener!!! #1 in the pool.....bow down bitches! And getting $10 for absolute loser to Betty's pool too. Money, money, money, moooooney! I'm brilliant.

(OK only kidding, I'm expecting to down in the standing anytime now)

(but seriously send me yo money!)

so much I can say but I'll just show the picture

what every college student is listening to

Every couple years a classic freshman college songs come out. And one is burning up the charts right now. It is crap, just like all the other ones. Remember "because I got high"?

Take a look at what all the emerging adults are listening to and watching:



There some words of wisdom in this piece of shit: "do something crazy" "keg stand"

damn memphis

Well I'm going to drop in the March Madness pool now. Memphis, who I had winning IT ALL (stupid jholes), lost last night! Ohhh way to go tigers, lose to the other tigers. I'm right up there still at the top of the pool but I'm assuming after tonight I will start falling behind. There goes my $200....let's see who takes the lead. Those WA folks are killing it though :)

Jay is coming to D-town

Jay Leno is doing two free shows in Detroit, bless his heart (everyone needs to say this more often), but of course D-town has their undies all in a knot....IT IS URBAN FRINGE!!! I learned this on Monday.

only in MI (pt 2)

This shit only happens in MI....Man commits sex act with car wash vacuum!!! The economy is in the shitter and what else do you have to do....it only costs a quarter.

qoute of the day

"I'm giving the ol' cooter a break...I need to get it back into fightin' shape"

---a good of mine on quitting online dating

where does God want me to be...

Sooo remember those bracelets...WWJD??? Apparently some elephants still ask themselves this....Michael Steele, newly popular elephant chairman, says that he will run for Prez "if God wants him to do so." Black is the new President, apparently for all parties.

I need to ask God what he wants to me do more often....for example, tomorrow morning, I bet God won't want me to get out of bed. To go to work? To drink coffee? I need to pay better attention to God's sign in my toast, grill cheese, and potateo chips. When I see Jesus's face in my morning toast, I'll take it as a sign of what he wants me to do....

It's all part of the plan, grill cheese and running for president.

oh the irony

I find it highly ironic when celebrities and politicians bitch about how the paps are all around them and the media is always up in their business, yet they crave and both need the attention. Paris Hilton is a perfect example or that damn Octomom.

On the politick side, Sarah Palin does this shit all the time. Stay away from my family, but come into my house for an interview. I hate the media, but I need to stay relevant and up to date so just a couple pictures. Just shut up....I still don't care what you think.

apparently hitting a deer can cause problems

So who knew that Matt Lauer was actually really injured after hitting a deer with his bicycle last weekend! I still contend that it is odd to hit a deer with a bike....seriously how fast do you have to be going to not be able to stop when a large animal is standing in front of you?

I guess he had to have shoulder surgery which really sucks. The guy probably did like a duck and cover roll after crashing and ripped out his arm. Yikes. Hope he gets better so he can get back to reporting crappy news.

the snakes are coming for you

T reminded me today that I haven't blogged about the killer snakes that were released during a hurricane and are rapidly breeding!!!! Holy balls they are coming for you and your dogs....that is right, they will eat your dogs and probably your children too. Apparently they move at least 1 1/2 miles a day....so let me do the math.....how many miles between me and FL right now....how many days do I have left?????

I've had it with these mother-fing snakes on this mother-fing plane....Jon will sum it up for you:

when man boobs sweat

If I was a man I would be afraid of moob sweat (like DWTS apple computer guy):

do you follow twitter?

I don't follow twitter yet but I was interested to see the top 50 celebrity tweeters! Who knew that all these people were so into this technology.

You can follow what Dave Matthews does throughout the day....apparently he doesn't mind traffic. Also you can catch up with Neil Diamond, and Yoko Ono.

Apparently it is not only the politickos that are tweeting.

a clinton movie

I'm not sure this is a good idea.....But there are reports that there might be a new movie about the Clintons! Dennis Quaid as Prez Clinton and Julianne Moore as Hilary. Really? Moore as a Hilary? I'm not sure, the long read hair. Shouldn't someone older play Hilary? What about Judy Dench? Julie Andrews?

Dennis Quaid as Bill? Hmmmm who will be better???

I would play Chelsea. hmmmm what is the plot going to be? Sex and power. That was tough.

dave letterman is off the market

So Dave married his long time girlfriend last weekend who he has a 5 year old song with....shoot they have been together for like 30 years! Hells yes they should get married. Well I mean they should do whatever they want to do, but 30 years is a long time....they already are common law! Anyways, Dave did a top ten that made me laugh:

10. Poconos offers newlyweds free room with champagne-glass Jacuzzi.
9. If I'm gonna catch Larry King, I'd better get going.
8. Still drunk from St. Patty's, dude!
7. She needed a green card.
6. When you're my age and look like I do, if someone says they'll marry you, you do it.
5. Don't have to listen to any more crap from that quack Dr. Phil.
4. I finally fit into my dream dress!
3. Free cake
2. Got tired of waiting for Paris Hilton.
1. Figured at the least we'd get a mediocre Top Ten out of it.

good fun in May

Speaking of beer....we officially have our tickets for the Raleigh NC World Beer Festival! That will be a great end to the term and officially start of the summer holiday. Beer and dancing....can't complain.

Other good news is that Jill may be coming down from MN over memorial day to visit Brian and I. Now that is going to be a crazy fun weekend if so. I have this great picture of Jill, Bri and I all decked out in MN gear, tailgating by the Metrodome in MN with Leine's in our hands. LOVE IT!!! It will be a great birthday present! Yeah!!!! I'm excited.

holding it down in the pool

Soooo I'm currently in 2nd place in my NCAA march madness pool. Who knows if I'll stay up there but I'm definitely making a good show of it this year :) Holla at your girl. Seriously, I totally called a couple of those early upsets! I mean who knew about Duke, but I knew Arizona was better than their rank!

I could really use that money....need more beer in my life!

music of the moment

Love her, love the ear rings, love the shoulder roll....

who hits a deer with their bike?

Matt Lauer apparently hit a deer with his bike while in NYCish area this weekend! WTF??? Steer clear man. He needs one of those handlebar ringers or horns...toot toot here comes Matt (with his eyes closed on a bike). Ohhh wait perhaps it was a unicycle...could have been.

I'm alive

OK OK It's 7 AM on Saturday morning and I'm happy to report I'm alive. I'm up. I got a cup of coffee made. I'm semi packed. Checked into my flight tonight. My ride will be here in 35 minutes. 1 more day of training.

Last night was amazing. I was supposed to have dinner with Ginny (UVA's new post-doct and my friend/colleague), but she invited 2 of our other colleagues, and randomally 2 other folks showed up at the restaurant as well :) We had great great Ceviche and moijitos. Probably shouldn't have done that but I couldn't resist.

I wonder if I'm going to die this week? It is possible.

BO misspeaks

BO made some jabs at the Special Olympics the other night on Leno. He compared his bowling skills to those who participate in the olympics. Listen the elephants are going to be all over this business, considering the sunday morning shows were full of people who didn't think he should go on the late night shows right now! He has been off message lately and boy this shit isn't going to help at all this week either (around 20:30 mark):

air traffic control can suck it

Air traffic control and all the pilots yesterday can suck it!!! I got delayed for 5 hours last night and didn't get into Miami until 1 AM!!! It was commented that all the controllers and pilots were probably in watching basketball......damnit. Made for a tiring first day of training. Going to get dinner now and then I'm going to sleep forever tonight and hopefully on the flight home tomorrow night :)

Good training today though. (they didn't rip me a new one fortunately)

I echo betty's prayer

Dear heavenly father,

Now that Michigan has won and will go to the 2nd round, please don't let Michigan State screw up and lose in the 1st round. Amen.

Miami here I come!

I'm off to Miami shortly....conducting a CLASS training and meeting with some high powered Head Start directors/teachers. Pray they don't eat me alive! More on Sunday/Monday :)

Happy early weekend ya'll!

Johnny Cash would kick your ass

Adam L on AI this season killed Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire on Tuesday night. I don't really watch TV much anymore...but you have to watch this rubbish online! Bad, bad, bad.

JC is rolling over and coming back to kick your ass!

picks are due 11:58 AM EST

You better get your picks in my pool before 12 noon EST today!!! Email me if you are having problems (ps, those are reading this before the time probably won't even realize they are having problems until it is too late). Oh well.....I'm taking your money!
