Men Of A Certain Age.
Bookie: Check this out... [cannonballs into pool] Michael Phelps can eat my ass!
Joe: Yeah I don't think he's a diver...
Bookie: Whatever, Joe.
not sure what happened
lawofsines:
But between the time I went to sleep last night and just now when I signed in my tumblarity went up like 150 points. I don’t even usually pay attention to that thing, but how the hell did that happen.
It’s all those boys liking your posts. You better tell your man to go tumblr hunting and keep them in line!

Record Of The Day.
For my second installment of “Record Of The Day” I am choosing to highlight the major label debut from R.E.M. - Green. Not only is this a phenomenal showcase of songwriting and lyricism my Stipe and company, but it has some of the most intriguing artwork and packaging of any record.
Released in November 1988. Green was notably the first album to feature two songs to reach the top...

Record Of The Day.
I am stealing this idea from countless people, but mainly one of my best friends Marwan, so thank you everybody for the idea.
I feel that it is necessary for me to start this daily/every other day post off with one of my favorite and most prized records, the sophomore effort by Counting Crows, Recovering The Satellites. Released October of 1996, it would take me a half-decade to truly discover...

New Years Eve Plans.
Can’t wait to go visit Paul, Michele, and Charles. I haven’t seen any of them since the tour I did with them in June of this year, pretty stoked to ring in the New Year with them - especially in New York City.

USA 3, Switzerland 0
(Photo: Jeff Vinnick / HHOF-IIHF Images.)
SASKATOON – Two games, two slow starts, yet two wins. So goes this year’s World U20 Championship for Team USA. The Americans were held scoreless by Switzerland for nearly half of the game before they rallied for a slim 3-0 win.
The U.S. had a quick turnaround after last night’s physical 7-3 win against Slovakia, and it showed in the early stages of the...

Olympics
Heavily debating going to an Olympic game in February if I can find a way to afford it.
Realistically, the next time the games could be held on North American soil, I will be 39. (2024) Even then, I doubt any U.S. Cities are going to spend the $70m just to be slapped in the face like Chicago was by the IOC.
I know Marwan is already going, has anybody else considered going?

does it again! WTF!
Pretty stoked I picked him up as a winger the other day.

The drama that happened was insane, but she is hot and actually really awesome and I realize things happen between people, but you don’t have to be so cold. She is trying. Fuck I see almost every journal entry is almost about you. You can see she loves you. why not talk to her not on the internet? Sorry for butting in but this is my opinion. Sure she fucked up but she is trying her...

Un-Follow Friday
I know its Saturday by the clock, but I’m instituting this right now.
If I feel I don’t like my trial run of following you, I am going to un-follow you. Take no offense, consider it the lemon law of blogging.
I will take none whatsoever if you stop following me and I won’t even know unless you reblog this telling me you are done following me.
I’m glad we worked that...
Detroit airliner incident 'was failed bomb... →
An incident on an airliner arriving in the US city of Detroit from Amsterdam in the Netherlands was a failed bomb attack, senior US officials say.
Sources say a man burnt his leg trying to ignite explosives on the jet, which had 278 passengers and 11 crew aboard, but nobody else was seriously hurt.
In custody, the Nigerian suspect said he had been acting on behalf of al-Qaeda, a police source...
My Christmas Presents.
thenewfury:
joledo:
Dinner with my roommates family and their neighbors.
$20 Last month from my Aunt for not having any kids.
That is honestly my entire list of presents and that is more than I asked for.
Christmas is about who you surround yourself with and just reminding each other of how lucky you are to not be starving in some 3rd world country.
America is better than most of you...

You’re HOT :)
What’s your favorite holiday
Don’t care for holidays. Personal reason as to why.
How do you feel about girls on tour?
Same way I do about guys, if you are there for the wrong reasons then I don’t support it, otherwise I am okay with it. When I did a tour with both Dar Williams and Meiko (separate legs of the tour),...

why do you fucking cheat when you play Words With Friends…you should probably stop or your red wings fandom will decrease
If by cheat you mean play words on the multipliers knowing that grant more points, then yes I do. Half the time I am surprised that it takes a word and then I look it up in our dictionary and forgot that word a day later.

When/How Did You Find Out Santa Wasn't Real?
My Dad told me one Christmas when he forgot to write a tag as “From Santa” and asked me to go along with it so that my little brother wouldn’t get suspicious. He thought I already knew. It was about time anyways.

Are you really happy with your life?
Is anybody truly happy with theirs to the point they wouldn’t use any of their 3 wishes if they had them?
Life isn’t about finding happiness and staying there or settling for a comfort level because it’s “safe.” It’s about always trying to better your life.
Will you marry me?

Words With Friends
I know a lot of you out there play this addictive game. What’s your username?
Goodnight.
Somethings don’t get any easier with time.
Not a fan of the holidays. Probably never will be.
I’ll be spending Christmas alone with my drum kit.

You’re from Edison? I was at the Menlo Park Mall yesterday heh (: Is there a song you never get sick of? Which song? Happy holidays!
I’m from Toledo, OH. A town resting on the border of Ohio & Michigan about 60 Miles South of Detroit. However, I’ve been living in Edison for the past year, yes. Menlo Park is the reason I choose not to leave my house until...

Who are you and define “party” and “near rutgers.” Also, thank you.

I’m better described as sarcastic. I know that isn’t an answer, but “u” isn’t a word so I’m going to call this a draw.

Don’t be sorry. There is a strong chance I either hate you still or don’t know who you are. Cheers!
Edit: If I met you on a tour, I don’t blame you.

How do you make enough money merching to go on all those vacations?
Airline Miles. Trade them in, go for free. Sign up for frequent flyer miles or forever be called a retard (to be voiced like Alan in the Hangover, emphasis on the first syllable).

I can't believe I caved to this Formspring thing.
This could prove entertaining.

Today's Accomplishment.
1 1/2 hours of ice skating.
I’m by far not as good as I used to be at skating, but I’m feeling a lot more comfortable now. I should also mention the last time I skated was before I tore my quadriceps muscle out of my left leg and broke my knee cap, so given the circumstances I’d say I am doing very well.
Another month or so of practice and I might be ready to play some...
