Who likes to rock the party? New Zealand likes...

Yeah, so I'm still obsessed with Flight of the Conchords. I may need to take something for that....

  • In Syracuse, its been fluctuating between 60 and 90 degrees, day to day. I'm thinking we're all due for colds in the near future.
  • Weekend of 9/7, I get to hang with some old college friends, catch a baseball game, and drink some brews. The down side, is, it is also Irishfest in Syracuse. Damn you concurrent fun times!!!!!! (Trevor, get your a$$ out to hang that weekend.)
  • Worst news story EVER? At least from a dude's perspective...Also, how does this happen? I don't mean this in a socio-economic, degradation of humanity kind of way - how did he get past the layer of jeans to do this? Ballsy.
  • Anyone ever think of moving out west? If you've studied up on it, or pulled it off, drop me a line.
  • The Audi A5 - my next car....in like 5 years.
  • So I have this bizarre friend who is trying to win a 2 month % weight loss competition. I'm thinking if she (A) drinks a ton of water/eats a big meal right before the initial weigh in; (B) begins a running program; (C) lays off 'white' carbs - she'll have a decent shot.

THE Jeff Conine?


Wow, 2 days already. This is going to be a chore....or not! Meh, as I'm somewhat writing this to practice my own writing skills, I guess it is a worthwhile chore ;-).
  • man, summer is nearly over. On one hand, that is sad, on the other, I'm not in school or a teacher, so it could be worse.
  • dinner, steamed littleneck clams with a spritz of olive oil, bruschetta and a glass of red wine. Great, easy meal.
  • yeah, so I feel bad for my cat Jazz, the poor girl had to watch as I ate clam after clam after clam. Thems the breaks cat.
  • Started a new supplement program today. Creatine, no biggie; protein powder, kind pleasant; fish oil, fine; vegetable supplement, that's gonna be interesting. When the guy behind the counter describes it as green puke, you know you're in trouble....
  • Is there a worse starting QB in the NFL than Rex Grossman...or a better one than Peyton Manning? It really comes out when they play in the same game.
  • Hooray, the Mets got Jeff Conine. He'll be relevant in October.

hello world


So, this is my 5th attempt at stating a blog. I think I have a decent methodology down this time - bullet points, random musings, if peeps like it great, if not - so be it.

...and now for your feature presentation - reandom musings of a twentysomething Syracuse guy, the8/18 edition
  • Rolling Rock - most refreshing beer ever? I think so.
  • Hooray HBO - picking up a second season of Flight = brilliant. Best new show on television. If you like to laugh, I'd recommend Flight, Mr Show (try it), Arrested Dev, and 30 Rock.
  • Stop jumping off ledges Met fans. This team is still growing. 2 years ago, it was a joke; last year it was dominant; this year, growing pains - so be it.
  • Fiery Habanero Doritos - aren't they veeeery similar to jalapeno cheddar 3D doritios, just rebranded?
  • Madden 08 for the Wii = fun; Boxing, tennis (part of free sports games) = more fun. The Wii in general kicks some A**.
  • Sorry DC and JS. You know it was an honest mistake. I hope you can forgive me in time ;-).
  • Saucony running shoes - who knew?!?!?!
  • Oh laundry dryer, why do you mock me so. You say my clothing is dry, yet it always needs 1 more cycle.
  • Google the word omentum. Interesting stuff.
  • Random quote: "NO Kitty! That's my chicken pot pie."
...and there you have it ;-)
