Gelling
Jeff and I were talking about what we were looking for in a female partner. Is it physical attraction? Do they need to share the same beliefs as you? Would you be willing to give an emo chick a chance if you believe in her way of life? I threw out the idea of it’s how you gel together and it benefits to share the same outlook on life. I don’t think I could ever spend a lot of time with someone who was heavily involved in politics. The one sided opinions and the care for the greater good would drive me crazy. You want someone who is on the same page as you. Someone who is moving in that same direction whatever that may be. I don’t think it should be a chore to stay together with somebody else. It should come naturally.
The thing is that it doesn’t come at all if you don’t try. The one thing that I could do to settle down right now is try. It’s an apathetic attitude. But at this very stage at my life, I don’t want to be interrupted with something that is going to detract me from my first goal in life. I still have a good amount of years and I would say that I have lived my life with very few major mess-ups. This can certainly be considered not living but that’s just the way it went. I just have an urge to make it financially before moving onto that next step. So when I write that all I have to do is try is that I think I could make the majority of situations “work” if I wanted to. I’m a human being and could adapt to any situation I chose to put myself into. I know that’s an odd way to look at a relationship but it could be the truth. No it’s not a “star-crossed lover” but how many people out there can wait for that as their life passes them by?
So Jess asked me what I am looking for in a girl and my brain had to think for a moment. I thought to myself that the easiest way to answer this question is honestly. I told her that “I”m looking for someone who is intelligent and I enjoy spending time with.” I also added that “it wouldn’t hurt if she were a buxom, tight-body, platinum blond.” “So you want the best of both worlds then?” The bottom line is that I have little game and that combines with high standards which make this entire question of how to live out these upper 20 years difficult. I just can’t do what other people can do. I can’t meet someone and decide to love them. Does that make any sense?

Come A Long Way
I just read my old blog and I must seriously give myself a pat on the back. I read some of those entries and they are horrible. If you’ve stuck with this blog since the beginning I seriously applaud your dedication because those posts were so raw. They were about the same thing week after week: basketball, TV, drinking, and gambling. That’s still the same things I do now but I feel like I have a bit more control of my life and my posts are much more thought out. I think I’m in a far superior spot today than I was 5 years ago. I’m not sure if it’s just getting older or if it’s possible I’m getting smarter. Let me give an example of how my life is moving more towards normalcy.
I put in 4 days of work and then on Friday went to a job site where I took video of contractors using our products. This took me til 6pm and I drove back from Baltimore in terrible traffic. I got back at 9 or so and then went to sleep. I woke up at 7am on a SATURDAY, worked out, ate breakfast and then met a guy to fix our phones at the company and then met another guy for an hour and a half about work related business. I played in a football game at 1pm and then had a few drinks after the game. I shaved off my beard while drinking some Founders variety pack and then fell asleep again at 9pm. I awoke at 11 or so and decided to stay in and wake up early to hang out with CK4 during the marathon. I woke up at 7am on a SUNDAY and ate some breakfast, blogged some shit and then started drinking and playing ping-pong at 9am. This weekend would never take place in my younger years. This was something of an almost responsible weekend. Honestly, what the hell is going on?

Blast from the Past
I stumbled upon this after looking through my 09′ December archives. It’s a PTA MEETING!

Football Recap
On Saturday, Primetime played Show Us Your TD’s in the Semi-Final of the playoffs. On the 3rd play of the game they threw a deep pass for a TD. We subsequently turned the ball over when a Bake pass popped off of one of our players and they came down the field and scored again. Bake organized a scoring drive that ended with a TD to Jess Baker but that was matched by another long play to their wide out. At a crucial part of the game it was 4th down and we were down 21-7. Bake decided to go for it and through an OK pass to Allen who went up and got the ball to keep the drive alive. A TD thereafter made the game 21-14 going into halftime. One of our players, Derek, showed up which allowed Bake to sit on defense. This happened to be a game changer as they other team didn’t score another point. We opened the second half with 3 touchdowns and that was all she wrote. A late score finalized the game at 42-21. We play two Saturdays from now for the Championship against the Post Office.
My fantasy leagues are coming down to the wire. In my 4 leagues I’ve been eliminated from contention in 2. The Turkeys will not 3-peat. I still have a glimmer of hope in my Yahoo Pro league and will be in the playoffs in Steve’s league. My Fanduel days are finished as well. I also made a total of 4 dollars betting on games this weekend. Not my finest football week.

Carly Rose Sonenclar – My Heart Will Go On
Now that were rolling full swing with reader interaction, I’ve been introduced to a video where a 13 year old sings Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On. Although I’m sure the person who sent me this video, the Shee, would prefer to remain nameless rather than be exposed for his love of X-Factor, this girl is obviously talented. At 13 I’m pretty sure I was marginally retarded with the capabilities of tying my shoe and finding my way to the bus stop so it hurts to see far you can come in such a short time. This isn’t a voice that comes out of a 13 year old’s body. I sort of get the feeling that her voice just comes naturally and she’s just dominating this contest without the understanding of what she’s doing. Just to comment on the video, was Demi Lavoto retarded in her critique of the song?

Recognition
I don’t write this blog because I want to be famous. There is virtually no possibility of that happening with the type of content I deliver and I’m ok with that. However there is a small, ok very small, audience who for some reason or another type rnningfool into their browser and read my content. I’ve accepted this and want to explain what gives me joy from keeping this going for what is over 3 and half years now. Both were mentioned in the last post but I want to go into a little more depth.
Jaweens telling me he likes the video blogs is great. I picture him sitting there for 45 seconds with a crooked smile on his face being entertained. This gives me satisfaction that something I did effects (I honestly read the grammar page that a person commented on the last post and still don’t understand it) someone else. I also like that Gourlay points out how I’m able to say something is retarded in this blog and be completely hypocritical when I do it myself. He’s precisely correct and the fact that he remembers things that I’ve written the past at least shows that people do read and remember my views. I like how Brookes sends me ideas for blog topics and shares things with me that can help me spur ideas. This is all interaction which not only creates better relationships but makes the blog better. All of these points make me say “I’m going to keep doing this.”
I’m money hungry. I work hard at my job to make money. One day I’m going to look back and say “I made it”. However, this blog is completely separate from money. I want to look back at this blog and say “I had a lot of fun doing it.” So to understand the difference, my job is my money and my blog is my life. All I want from this blog is recognition and I don’t mean that like celebrity status. I want someone to see something I do and say I agree. That means more to me than someone offering me money. I like money but people’s recognition means more to me. I’ll give you an example to clarify. I have a list on Spotify called High School in the 90’s. If someone, anyone, told me that they listened to the list and gives me a nod of approval on my song selection, I’d like that person for life. In someones mind it’s like saying, “this guy might know what he’s talking about.” I don’t want an article, a video, or any attention other than a simple acknowledgement. I commented on someones blog who posted it on facebook completely out of the blue because I know what it’s like to work at something and have little interaction. People appreciate it.
Now, this isn’t one of my call outs that I’m looking for comments or anything like that because I agree with every reader out there that it’s childish. I understand people are in tune with #1 and come and go as they please but I’m just alerting everyone how little interactions make a difference. They make this blog better. As you can see from the below chart that I’m not exactly setting the world on fire with views and I’m still chugging away. This is a thank you to all the loyal readers and I still welcome any interaction whatsoever. More interaction = more fun. Anytime you have a thought and don’t share, a kitten dies.

Kwame Time
Interesting night tonight. Jeff and I went to the Sixers game because we bought a 10 game plan through work and tonight was the first game. The seats are lower level in row 10 or so and were pretty good. I just want to explain the fascination with Kwame Brown so people understand. He’s bad. He’s actually terribly bad. He’s so bad I like him. I actually didn’t even realize how bad he was until I saw him tonight in person. He started the game *gasp* for some unknown reason and I can’t even give him the benefit of the doubt. He has block hands, he’s slow, he doesn’t hustle, he doesn’t play defense, and his foul shooting is atrocious. He’s so interesting that it’s hard to define how he is on an NBA roster, let alone starts. He is the most amazing NBA player I’ve seen.
There was a little kid behind us and when the Pistons show a foul shot he’d scream “miss the first one.” Neither Jeff or I could put a finger on why this was so funny but I think it was a complete mind fuck. Why would anyone scream miss the first one? At halftime we walked around a bit and found the 2nd floor escalator. After wandering a bit and on our way down, a gentleman handed us 2 courtside tickets, CHA-CHING! Retail was 225 and we watched the entire second half from the second row. Unfortunately the game was a blow out but what are you going to do. We even saw Kyle Singler fly into us literally 2 seat away. It was pretty neat. So for a Wednesday night it was pretty entertaining.
I also have two random call outs to people who read this blog. Jordan Cohen messaged me on Facebook and exclaimed his approval of the video blogs so I’ll try to keep them coming. Gourlay also makes sure to put me in my place when I take pictures of the Sixers game and post them online. Both parties deserve blog mentions.
