Lately I’m thinking…

Well Kansas was awarded the #1 overall seed in the tourney…and then got put in the toughest region, so I guess the ranking of the #1 seeds doesn’t actually apply to anything? Besides big 10 champ ohio state (who was in the running for a #1), co-acc champ maryland, and big east tourney finalist georgetown they also drew the only 2 teams to beat them this year and UNI is the exact kind of team that gives kansas trouble. Oh well, you have to win tough games to advance, and it’s not like they’ll play all those teams, but the committee definitely didn’t do them any favors.

This is really interesting…

I was on an ESPN chat yesterday for my comment “The supposedly top 2 teams (Kansas & Kentucky) have the two toughest roads”. I should be on TV or something

This is really interesting…

So the beer pong kicked off at 3:30 at work on Friday, and Dan and I went 5-0! 3-0 to win the bracket championship and then we won 2 more for good measure against challenging teams. At one point we were listening to Britts Mix (the CATS edition no less) playing out of the speaker on my iPhone! Somebody asked “is this the kind of music you listen to??” to which I just replied “Uh no”. The best part is every cat growl somebody would say “what?” at the same time I was saying “cats!”

Current Status…

Strong to quite strong – I had a great weekend with some skiing and some alehousing (in wedgewood), the tournament is rapidly approaching and my work gave me both Friday and Monday off as comp days for working so much the last couple weeks – bonus! Joey’s gadget problems are a cause of concern though.

Lately I’m thinking…

Hey there – I just realized today is Wednesday, and not Thursday. Rats. I think it was Joe’s 10 status that might have got me off on the wrong foot

Shout out to…

Everyone who sent us a Christmas card. Getting the mail is usually pretty boring, but yesterday we had 7 cards in the mail! Mitch, that’s a great picture of snowflake. Skeelodge and Molly, Seeley thanks you for including her name. IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

Holzer, I saw “The U” 30 for 30 show last night. It mostly consisted of them all saying “the reason why we were so cocky is because we were better than everyone else, and we were”, which basically just translates into “we’re still just super cocky”. My favorite part is when they all insisted they would have even more championships if they would have just won a couple more games. Anyways, there were seriously no rules, a miami guy would tackle somebody, start slapping him, push him back down, then run into the stands and eat some popcorn and it didn’t appear anything would happen.

This is really interesting…

I was waiting to cross the street today and a man came up to me and asked if I had a lighter. I replied with a no, even though unlike numerous people around the block i was blatantly not smoking. He then asked for a dollar, to which I said “no, sorry”. He then replied “Well there’s an ATM right in there”. whoa whoa whoa buddy, so since i don’t have a lighter you want me to go to the 20 dollar bill dispensing machine and get you some money? The only small increments those things deal with are the 2.00 ATM fees they hand out. I mean, i would have had to charge that guy money to use one, and judging by the way the conversation was going that wasn’t an option.

Shout out to…

Ryan Klitz for my Kansas snuggie. It’s honestly changing my life – although I don’t think it’s for better. The other day i was lying with it on and couldn’t think of a single reason why i would ever leave the house. Even going to work is hard knowing that it’s waiting just upstairs. Jakers, that’s awesome you got a custom bobcat one – good luck doing stuff

This is really interesting…

I had a big BBQ meal for lunch today and was really full by the time I was done. But as I walked into the kitchen to throw my stuff away I noticed cookies from specialties had magically appeared, so I ate a snickerdoodle the size of my head. Now i really don’t feel so good.

Currently watching…

24 hours of college basketball on ESPN. It kicked off at midnight eastern last night with cal state northridge beating stupid ucla in double overtime and kept rolling with a game in hawaii and then a 6AM tip off for two schools on the east coast – wow – have fun tailgaiting for that one. Anyway Kansas plays memphis tonight as it continues, i will be upstairs in the mentioned snuggie if anyone wants to come up.

Jakers good call on the ninja article, we’re really on the same page. Click here for those who haven’t read it yet. I’m happy to annouce that it was not me that was impaled for everyone out there that was worried.

The Soapbox:

Holzer a new TV huh! That’s a great quote from landlord Jeff about the brand new fridge he had bought – “this fridge really rocks the house” as he leaned on it and it rocked from side to side.

Here is all of us at the ol’ Pengiun (bar stop #6 on the day i believe, if you count the stadium’s full bar). We KILLED it in karaoke on every song except for michael bolton’s “when a man loves a women”. It was a complete train wreck. We tried salvaging it by breaking into “how can we be lovers if we can’t be friends” on our own, and we were doing really well until the lady running it said “nope nope that’s it, only 1 song”. On a side note, look at steph in this picture – probably pouting because they wouldn’t serve her.

This is really interesting…

So steph reminded me last night that we had to go to a breakfast fundraiser at 8 AM this morning. It was at the palace ballroom and after a quick check with steve klitz we realized this wouldn’t be a jeans and t shirt event for ol blade. Usually fundraisers are at night, so at least you can socially drink. Well, not at 8 AM on a thursday, instead of booze we got egg pie…whatever that is. great. Well the fundraiser was actually pretty good, and i guess it should be for how much we ended up “paying” for it….they tricked us. On a side note every single person at work today has wondered why i’m wearing dress pants

This article that the whole Ivars underwater billboards for submarines was a hoax! I don’t think i’m ever eating there again – they even got a historian to lie

I don’t know if any of you have been watching the ESPN 30 for 30 series, but the one on Len Bias is really good. You should dvr it fool

The Soapbox:

Happy TIDOA! Don’t forget the 1st reader of the day is tomorrow along with another surprise – have fun trying to sleep tonight!!
