This is really interesting…

In addition to burgers and hot dogs, I had BBQ pizza all 3 nights in Seeley Lake. NAAATTTUUURREEEE!!

Lately I’m thinking…

Fun golf tournament last night – team pink is still the overall leader. Regardless of whether I’m playing real golf, or golf that involves throwing the ball or putting backwards or something, I always seem to get a 5 or 6 on the hole. Bonus shout out to Scott for the low overall round and to Skeelo for our team low. You really sunk to a new low last night skeelo! Oh ya and I Iced Ahern

Lately I’m thinking…

BHS high school reunion at Kells

Current Status…

8.8 – it would be higher if i could think of something to write here

The Soapbox:

I think it’s remarkable how safe and consistent elevators are. I mean, I’d say I think about it once a week on average

Well course 1 of the Bonopio Tour was last night at Interbay. What a disaster. After the first 2 holes I had a score of 17, and keep in mind this was a par 3 course. I didn’t even lose a ball! apparently they don’t institute the common rule of the max you can get on a hole is double bar, so me just hitting my ball around didn’t help. In a show of true consistency i started with a 10, 7, 3. pretty standard.

Currently watching…

For a little more insight into the Bonopio sports tournaments, here’s a video of the basketball draft from this year made by our buddy Zak Downing (click here and enter the password ‘hoops’). In summary I was last pick but we did win the championship. And that’s what I hoping for in golf, a tour championship for team Pink. Despite my effort last night we managed to win the first tournament.

Current Status…

9.9 – I’m pretty hyper. Coffee cake steph made today with an iced grande chai = party bonanza. I’m also in the works of furthering my Karaoke career, stay tuned

Currently watching…

True Blood, Entourage, and the Bachelorette, which just gets more scripted every year. Oh well. On a side note I had MOD pizza for lunch yesterday, and that place is just a phenomenal lunch choice

Played golf at Langdon Farms on Saturday – the one time I played there before was for a golf tournament with AuuuuBeta. I lost about 9 balls that time but it was okay because it was a scramble or something so it didn’t matter that much, besides the fact our team was just horrible. This time I only lost 1ball! I even hit 2 in the water on the same par 5, got both of them back, and saved a 7 – textbook. Looks like I wore the same shirt though.

Current Status…

Going to have to go with a 7 – yesterday was brutal until about 4 PM (stupid, stupid) and then this morning I had to get up and drive to work…from Portland. I basically have no idea what’s going on

This is really interesting…

A guy proposed to his gilfriend at Outback Steakhouse in Eugene on Saturday – i clapped.

Lately I’m thinking…

about having a better update tomorrow

The Soapbox:

Shout out to everyone in portland and extra shout to those who ran the half or full marathon. Also to Fariah who doesn’t read this but none the less has a birthday today and is slowly climbing up the ladder to being old enough to be considered an adult

HAPPY THURSDAY! Steph and I decided to have a margarita as part of Taco Wednesday (why not) and obviously got the bottle that allows you to pour a shot in the lid (what can your bottle do?). Well all we really managed to do was spill since either the bottle or the lid has to be upside down, but I think we’ve got it figured out now

Well not reading – but it is a website. It allows you to play the original mario brothers using different characters like metroid, link, mega-man or contra! It’s unbelievable, basically you can go around as the guy from contra and shoot things with a machine gun that you usually have to jump on – total mind blower

This is really interesting…

A girl from my work won free chipotle for the whole office today – great timing too because I have about 86 cents in my checking account

I went and hit a bucket of balls at Jefferson tuesday night. My whole life I’ve always choked up on the club way too much, so I tried just holding my hands at the end of the club and hitting it that way. Wow, talk about wildy inaccurate. They all went in the air, which is actually an imrovement to my old shot, but it was a crap shoot where they were going. They wouldn’t hook or slice, they would just shoot out in every direction, mostly because I felt like I was swinging a 20 foot rubber hose or something. Anyways, pretty excited for golf this weekend….

Well I’ve known for years that my golf game was going downhill but Saturday was a pretty good reminder of where I was at. I lost over 1 golf ball per hole until about the 12th, so I roughly have one left. At one point there were people watching us tee off so I decided to hit my driver even though I knew for a fact I would slice it in the woods simply because I didn’t want to risk hitting my 5 wood 8 feet straight up into the air or off the toe and into their cart. I feel like with the driver I could at least hit it in the air and then act like i was shocked it sliced. Well turns out I hit it 20 yards straight left on the ground into a ravine, which I repeated exactly on the muligan shot. The one par I managed was on a closest to the pin contest so at least I didn’t lost all my money too I guess. I think I play better in flip flops, a little hung over with a road cocktail, but I guess I’ll have to settle with a sober 107 with golf shoes and a tucked in shirt. Oh ya and I’m sore

This is really interesting…

For the most part I don’t really like purchasing new items, but right now there are about 5 big ticket things I really want, like a fly rod, skis, a couple golf clubs (like that’s the problem…), and oh ya, power blinds!

Lately I’m thinking…

I can’t believe that “3D TV” is the new big thing now. I mean weren’t there 3D movies when I was like 8? I know a personal TV is a lot different than a movie theatre, but you still need to wear funny glasses. I mean it’s 20-frickin-10. If you asked me 15 years ago what we would have in 2010 I would have either said flying cars or people coming over to your house to hang out via hologram, definitely not a convenient way to watch 1983’s “jaws 3d” at home.

Shout out to…

The Klitz’s, Nebel and Holzer – it was good to be in Portland for a weekend and see everyone.

The Soapbox:

Montana Fun Fact of the Day: (btw this is the last week of MT fun facts, as I get the feeling they aren’t that fun anymore, and in today’s case, not really facts either) “The ‘Going to the Sun Road’ in Glacier Park is considered one of the most scenic drives in America. “

Well considering I was at the office from 9AM – 10PM yesterday nothing has really happened since I last updated besides me going to bed, so this again might be a stretch. “Are there such things as horse socks? Is anybody listening to me?”

Lately I’m thinking…

Nebel, please don’t talk about golf when it’s frickin windy and raining – i can see white caps on the sound right now and thought I saw snow earlier (turns out they were pedals because all the trees got tricked into it being summer last week and bloomed) Uh anyways, back to the “point”, as if i had one. Oh ya, it’s coming full circle now…speaking of golf, here’s a picture of Mariah and I golfing. Heather had a good point about the photo that pretty much hit the nail on the head, “this encompasses many of the reasons why i beat you at golf.”

I got an evite from work for a beer pong contest in the office tomorrow. I was pretty excited about that, until I remembered what usually happens to me playing beer pong, and i’m not sure there’s a great intersection between that and being at work

Well Chip Kelly really backed himself into a corner with this whole jeremiah masoli / lamichael james thing. One of my favorite parts about the whole thing is their incidents are completely unrelated, but they both have their court dates on the same day tomorrow. Maybe everyone can carpool? Click here for an article about kelly’s tough spot (if you even care. i’m pretty much over it and actually think he might hand down a hard punishment sometime today. or at least that’s what everyone would assume he would do)

(stay with me here) It’s a really nice sunny day here and it got me thinking about golfing. Then I started thinking about that time I hit Nebel with a golf ball. In one of my favorite quotes ever, when I sent a text to Tanner telling him I hit Nebel, he replied, “It couldn’t have happened to a better person”

This article from the Billings Gazette about a guy who drove his truck through a bar wall. Easily my favorite part is the last line where it says “police are still deciding if the driver should recieve a citation”! I mean, there’s got to be something illegal about plowing through a building wall right? Otherwise this could be a messy insurance claim, with one guy claiming the building shouldn’t have been standing there.

Currently watching…

How I Met Your Mother and The Bachelor – obvs. The bachelor really stresses me out, i can’t watch it unless i do something else at the same time to kind of distract me, like go on my computer, my phone, or just yell out random sentence fragments. Fun Fact: More people have been married by meeting someone on the biggest loser than they have on the bachelor.

This is really interesting…

Speaking of fun facts, Joey that’s a pretty good one that Elephants are the only animal that can’t jump. What I find even crazier about that is it means that Hippo’s CAN jump! Hippo’s are crazy. They kill more people in Africa than lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes and rhinos combined. I’m hungry

The Soapbox:

I heard an ad for Pagliaci pizza on the radio yesterday and it was the same lady who tells you the specials when you call in and their operators are busy. She’s pretty good at talking pie
