Awesome.
I love Butch Walker. He played banjolin for Taylor Swift and Stevie Knicks and got some solid camera time. He’s an awesome producer and musician. Ya’ll need to get up on him if you aren’t already.

Adam Sandler told me, that I killed it on that “thing”. Life complete.

For anyone that thinks Taylor Swift shouldn't have...
1. Kanye did not make Taylor Swift famous. She was winning an AWARD when he stomped on stage. If you never turned on a pop station you may have just learned about Taylor that night, but I’m pretty sure that is a small group of loud people. 2. Have you listened to Taylor’s album? Probably not if you were too busy listening to that wack ass Black Eye Peas crap or Poker Face and Single...

Funny 2 Me →
I was in leadership training last week, and we were asked to pick our top 3 values from a long list. I ended up picking love, authenticity and humor. The first two are pretty self explanatory, but humor was pretty unique for our group. It’s so important for me to laugh and make others laugh. I get joy out of it.
So, in that vein, I have revived the Funny 2 Me list. This time it’s in...
Today
Today, I learned a lot about my mother’s father. I never felt like I knew him very well because he wasn’t really one of those grandfathers that takes you for ice cream in his noisy old truck or tell you about the “good old days.” He’d show you his antique Mercedes or Jaguar in his garage that he had tinkered on for years. He’d walk us down to the park, but most...
Anyone care to suggest awesome iPhone apps to me?
So Bummed
My left knee is already giving me crap. I haven’t been able to run this week. A trainer told me to take it easy and use a bike. I hate the bikes. UGH.
ANYWAY…If it keeps up for 3-4 more days, I guess I will have to go to the doctor. I thought it might be a shin splint, but a friend that runs a lot says that probably wouldn’t happen only on one leg. Great.
You know what I could do?

I could write my blog to suit other people. But I don’t.
I don’t get up everyday and think about an audience. I don’t censor. I don’t hold anything back.
If I’m in a bad mood you know. If I’m on cloud nine you know.
My blog is a place for me- to vent, to sort my shit out, to be forced to face whatever it is I’m thinking about at any given time.
My life is...

Rufus: ...the coach can burn that red jacket cause Roy just s**tted all on it
Me: That was a jacket? I thought it was a XXL bodysuit.
Rufus: I thought Koolaid was sponsoring the game for the first 10 minutes!
Who needs Yelp?
Last week was a rough one for me. Work has been so crazy in January that I know I will never get it all done. Then I found out my Grandaddy Earl passed away. I have been keeping up with my new goal and made it to the gym 3 times, but the weekend was my chance to catch my breathe and rejuvenate myself.
This week has already started off crazy busy, but I was able to visit a yummy new Raleigh...
Spotted my first Bump-It at Sauced last night. It was truly awesome.

Resolution
I don’t think I shared my New Years Resolution with you all. Several months ago, my aunt was involved in a terrible motorcycle accident. I blogged about it here. Well, she is going through a recovery process including going to hyperbarics and using a bone stimulator to help the leg that was partially lost to grow stronger. She has good and bad days, but at Christmas she came to stay with my...
Well, I liked Avatar.
It was a visually stunning movie with amazing use of 3-D technology. If you can’t look beyond the “blue people” and those saying it is a rip off of Pocahontas, I feel sorry for you because you are missing out on a moving cinematic experience. I’d actually like to see it again at Imax. One other note on the Pocahontas thing…some might argue that Pocahontas is a rip...

The best line so far is, “I can be your vestibule.” WHAT?
WTF, NBC?
The Hills came on after SNL was abruptly cut off. I need an explanation.
Raleigh: The Diner
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Well, it helped that I was with my 3 of my most favorite people in the whole wide world with me. But, let me tell you…it is SO FUN and yummy. Summer will be awesome as well because it has a wrap around deck. Best parts of our dining experience:
Watching Brittany down a root beer float in record time and get SUPER LOUD and LOL until I thought she might pass out.

“A plague o’ both your houses!”
– -Duh.
I’ve just been biding my time and setting all of you pawns in place so I can shout this amazing quote from my balcony. It’s really a massive game consuming all of my time. Now be gone, before someone drops a house on YOU TOO.

I BET YOU THINK THIS BLOG IS ABOUT YOU
DON’T YOU? DON’T YOU?
Surprisingly enough, my blog is not about you, so please stop looking for something to make it so. I definitely do not know you, but did you ever consider that you do not know me?
If I knew that there were people reading my blog and trying to form context around every single post I make, I’d probably have retired it a long time ago and resorted to keeping...
