Previous post's date.....

So I looked at the most recent post "I'm Back" and I realized that it shows the date of September 9th. Kinda freaked me out at first, but then I realized that I did most of that entry that day, but finished it today. Interesting.

Currently watching the Colts vs. Patriots and we're in the 3rd quarter. This is an outstanding game! I'm definitely excited that the Colts are up, but its pretty scary as the Pats are a dang good team.

Alrighty, enjoy the rest of the game!!

IM BACK

Alrighty -- I'm back. Hopefully I'm back for good. I'll be honest, I didn't really feel that I had much to write about. I was stretching for stuff....I STILL don't know if I have a whole lot to talk about, but I'll try to wing it. Also too, I keep up on my friends blogs, so I figured I'll try to match 'em. Scope out my links, Mel and I have a picture site that we house some fun moments. Also, you'll find along with Pat & Maya's blogs, you see Cheever's blog too. Check it out, this dude is one of the funniest guys I know so I know he'll have some good stuff going on over there.

One thing that I am pretty happy to write about right now, is football!!!

The season is back in swing and I'm pumped - For as long as I can remember, the NBA was my favorite professional sport to watch. I'm pretty sure it was cuz Michael Jordan was always my favorite famous personality.

But now -- I'm officially a football fan. The Colts are my favorite team and the Eagles are my second favorite. (I dont know why the Eagles, but I just like 'em)

Now that were in full swing again, theres nothing better than sitting on the couch on Sunday flippin' through the games and watching my Fantasy Football team do some damage.

Welp, hopefully I'll keep this up as often as possible and keep you in tune with us.

Go Colts!

Super Bowl!

Whew! What a weekend. Mel & I attended a wedding of some of her friends from high school on Saturday. What a great time! Mel got to see and hang out with a bunch of buds from high school and catch up on old times. Of course, Mel's friends are my friends too, but shes known them for a long time.
After the wedding, we all went out to Tiki Bob's in Indy....and had a blast! Normally I'm not up on those dance type bars cuz they're too smokey/loud/crowded. But that night, with the group we had, I must admit it was pretty fun. We got back that night and fell asleep.

The next day was of course Super Bowl Sunday. We had a party to get ready for and it literally took all day to get ready. Mel & I went to Target to stock up on necessities and grab the ingredients for the food. When we got back, Mel started on the food and I started cleaning anything I saw. I didn't get far when I realized --- WE DONT HAVE THE SURROUND SOUND SET UP FOR THE GAME!?! I got to work. Hooked up the reciever, ran the wires, tested the speakers....we were ready to ROCK! After all that was done, I cleaned the bedroom and vacuumed. Just as Mel finished in the kitchen, my brother and his fiance showed up.....the first guests had arrived!

We had about 22-25 people in all when you count the people who stopped in to say hey and didn't stay long. Lots of Mel's friends from the wedding stopped by and most of my friends were there. The HD was clear, the sound was pumpin', the party was JAMMIN'!

I really didn't care who won, because the Colts weren't in the game. Glad to see Jerome Bettis get his Super Bowl Ring, but I wouldnt have been mad if the Seahawks won either. I really just wanted a good game and I think I got that. It wasn't a blowout or completely dominated by one team or another so thats all you can ask for, right?

Oh yeah, and the commercials. I have to say, I think the commercials were pretty decent this year. The beer ones were good, as always. I liked the rotating fridge commercial. That one was funny. On and in the early going, the Hide & Seek beer commercial was really good. Also the guys on top of their houses, drinking beer...that was yet another good one. I think I liked the "little horse that could" for sentimental value, it got a resounding, "awwwwwww". Even the "dont judge too quickly" commercials were good too. The one where the doctor zapped the fly and just as the patients family came in the room, he said, "....well that killed him." HAHA

Of course, the beer commercials ruled the Bowl again, but there were some definite ones that were just as good.

All in all, it was a great weekend. Had fun with friends and family and that is always on my mind. Relaxing, having fun, and a little football & food helps.

More Auto Show!

Here's a few more pics from the Detroit Auto Show. I'll post a few now, then some later. It's an awesome way to keep you coming back, see. Thats the whole gist of it....dang, told you my secret.
Anyhoo, These 5 are celebrities ACTUAL vehicles. They're courtesy of DUB Magazine, and the artist who purchased it. After talking to the fine DUB Associates, the story is as follows:
The white 300c is Snoop Doggy Dogg's car. The deep purple (looks black in the pic) Charger is 50 Cent's. The red Magnum is the rapper The Game's. The Black '07 Escalade is Travis Barker's (the drummer from Blink 182). And finally, the yellow Lamborghini WAS Kobe Bryant's. The purchased their respective vehicle, then sent it to DUB to trick out. As part of the deal, DUB then takes the vehicle on the road for 1 year to various shows and events for publicity. After the tours, the artist then gets the car back. So, needless to say, this was pretty cool and maybe even a once-in-a-lifetime look at these rides. Enjoy!

P.S. - Notice behind the 300, Charger, and Magnum that the car on the poster is the actual car thats there. Kudos to DUB for the display -- it was killer!

$$$$

I'm not sure why I came up with this entry. I guess its just on my mind. I'm talking about the lottery. I was just thinking today....(oddly enough, while I was at work - imagine that) But, I was thinking...I could SO hit the lottery. And I don't even need the huge jackpot, I'd settle for a couple million. Something REASONABLE, you know....Like $15-$20 million. I mean, seriously, I'm looking to take care of our families first off. Then save, invest, and donate...you know the standard stuff. Then I'd pay off credit card debt, pay the bills, get a new house, couple cars. But I'm not even talking extravagant, I'm talking like NICE cars, NICE house, but I'm not gonna be cruisin' in Ferraris or rockin' that house that sits WAAAAY back off the road that you can only see the first 20 feet of the drive as it bends around through the plethora of trees that line the country road it wouldn't be on. Nah, just some NICE things.

This isn't too much to ask is it? I guess my point is....I'd rather worry about what to DO with all my money than worry about MAKING the money. I would probably do something to keep me entertained, buy a sports team a la Mark Cuban or something, but I just wont "work" in the full sense of the word.

I think my first problem is that I don't play the lottery. Whats the saying, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" We'll, I take my shots - its just I throw up the half-courter when the lottery hits its all-time high. You know, when the odds are at their complete worst. I need to do the scratch-offs. Once I master those, then I can move up to Hoosier Lottery. Once I hit that a few times, I can try my hand at Powerball. After that, I'll have enough to INVENT a lottery. The Lucky Super Mega Power Incredi-Lottery....yeah, thats what I'd do.

I dunno, I don't think I'm asking too much here. Can't I get a break? If you ask me, I think this sounds like a plan -- "Mel? Wheres my wallet, I gotta run to Marsh." ;o)
