hiatus.... over

Ok so it's been wayyyyy too long since I wrote. Chalk it up to laziness or finals but it's been two holidays since I wrote and a lot has happened. That being said I don't really want to talk about any of it so we'll move on to other things. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and an even better Christmas. One of my New Year's resolutions is to write a lot more frequently so we'll see if I actually follow through. As for the important matters of the last few months... Turkeybowl 09-Schlongs win on a myrch to myrch option 7-6. Great game. You can check out the details and hilarious stories at lcturkeybowl.org. The official turkey bowl website.

The Browns have won 3 games in a row, hired Holmgren, and are showing just enough signs of promise that we, as browns fans, can have false hopes all off season. The Cavs finished off their big west coast road trip by blasting the Suns in their own house, shutting out the Kings in overtime, and then ripping apart a very whiny Lakers team. Never before have I lost so much respect for a franchise in one game. Yes Phil Jackson the ref's were awful, but they were awful on both sides. You didn't see LeBron crying every time he didn't get to the free throw line. Kobe pouts more than a 5 year old not getting his way, Fisher is a complete dirty player, and apparently our bigs are just fine. I'm not going to complain about the fan base because, as a friend correctly pointed out, that's a small minority and as a browns fan I can respect not judging the whole fan base on a few idiots. I hope the cavs play like that from here on out, but it's a long season. we shall see...


Tiger Woods is an idiot and a scum bag... nothing more need be written.

Some of the perks about being home for the holidays is definitely family, free meals, a clean bed to sleep in and not having to worry about paying for the electric or water. The bad news is that in a week I'll be back in my apartment, putting away Christmas decorations. The season comes and goes so fast it seems. Until next year Grinch, The Meiser Brothers, and Muppet's Christmas carol... be well.


One of my favorite things about being home is getting to hang out with my 3 year old niece Gracie and her new little brother Anderson. While Anderson, at only a few months, is too young to do much other than hang out in your arms, Gracie has very much become a miniature person. At 3, she might be the smartest toddler I've ever met and that's not me being bias. My favorite thing she does is how she narrates her life. Just this afternoon I heard this little story after she ate lunch....

"OK bubba (she calls me bubba), Now I'm going to go play with Nana. We're going to get my dolls from up in her room then we're gonna bring them down here and clean up. My mouth is blue from my ice cream. I want to play. We're going to go home to my house and play with my princesses there too. Bubba, we should probably sing a song. Look at me and Nana, We're twinsies!!!"

She also tells complete stories about hanging out with the Disney princesses and makes pretend phone calls to family members. If adults did this stuff they'd be crazy, but because she's 3 it might be the cutest thing ever.


Some few other quick hits-

-i recently discovered that you can't ever have enough hats and scarves.
-Garlic Christmas sausage is amazing
-buying multiple people matching Christmas gifts is not only awesome, but hilarious.
-People suck at driving. Yes it's snowing, don't freak out... just slow down
-43 days til a return to Vegas takes place


i apologize for the shortness of this post... better writing to come

I hope everyone has a fantastic new years, and if you have a resolution that you are able to stick with it.
