• I die a little more each Sunday.

    Little David is in the 5th grade. Yesterday morning when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living, all the typical answers came up:

  • Eastside pulls.

    Brace yourself for the most depressing day of the year. Today supposedly is the day, according to psychologists, when Americans feel the most depressed. It’s about this time every year when the bills start rolling in from Christmas and we realize that, after three weeks, our New Year’s resolutions were just a bunch of bullshit. [...]

  • I bleed Rebel red.

    This is going to be one of those lame, sentimental posts (although not about a girl). Just be warned.
    I grew up all over the country. In my childhood, I saw 13 different houses in six different states, Growing up like that, you learn a couple things. First, you learn to be comfortable with adjusting to [...]

  • Don't go hitting on any 8-year-olds.

    I had this whole thing written out about how I discovered the source of all my (and my teams’) recent bad luck, but it was really boring. Who cares? Long story short, I’ve been wearing these wrist bands for all of last season with the Rebels, the two games we’ve played this season, and the [...]

  • I hate Texas A&M.

    Adding to my list of reasons to hate Texas A&M University, Don Muhlbach blew the snap on what would have been a game-tying PAT, essentially losing the game for the Detroit Lions. Damn Texas A&M, damn Don Muhlbach and damn the Detroit Lions. One of these days, they’re going to kill me.
    I’m going [...]

  • Throwing it down Larry King-style.

    Before I head down to Franco’s for the Lions game, I’m going to go Larry King on you and just start spitting out random, unrelated thoughts.
    1. I learned a long time ago that the best way to avoid seeing something that makes you uncomfortable is to not look at it. If you’re embarrassed about what [...]

  • How did I get here?

    My debut with the American Eagles was a success. As the newest member of the team, I had two assists in our 5-2 win over a team of hacks sponsored by my new favorite bar: The Crowe’s Nest. Apparently it went so well that they’ve asked me to join their other team, which starts in [...]

  • Would this day just fucking end?

    The last few weeks have been hellish at work. I’ve got three bosses and even more people to whom I indirectly report to. All three bosses and many other higher-ups have decided that they are going to all demand my attention at the same time. One doesn’t know how to use Microsoft Excel, so I [...]

  • Nobody messes with Miller Time.

    With my mini-vacation ending, I have just a few odds and ends to clean up:
    1. I don’t know if it was the size 64 jeans with the elastic waist band or the dirty pony tail sticking out from under the rainbow-colored NASCAR cap. Maybe it was the way he was yelling across the bar for [...]

  • He's moving in.

    Football in the morning, hockey in the evening. Sports sandwiches a long day of work. I hate not having my weekends totally free, although I must say that this vacation has been a little much. I feel completely useless when I sit around not doing anything. I guess that means I’m a workaholic. Not a [...]
