Trolls

The anonymity of the WWW really pumps up some of you doesn't it? Absolutely laughable. 

Lent

If you are Catholic, today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. I went to Mass at 8AM. Lots of people commenting about dirt on my forehead. Oh well.

In theory you are supposed to give up something. I gave up drinking about 6 weeks ago, not because I'm headed to AA but all of my beer drinking was basically happening after I get home at night from gym...so what's the point of going to gym if I'm swilling 300 calories of cold brewy goodness afterwards. I don't eat too many sweets for the most part so giving that up is easy. I guess I could give up coming to work but I think my J-O-B would notice.

Anyway, Happy Lent!

The religious tone of this post is about as religious as I will ever get.

Halftime Travesty

Ok I was right. It blew. 

First, Coldplay. I didn't even know I knew a Coldplay song. Two of them sounded familiar. And these maudlin ballads were awful. The guitarist in the green pants was also awful.

Second, Bruno Mars. Talented little fellow. Matter of face when I saw him a couple of years ago I was impressed. With that being said why was he on again?

Third, Beyoncé. Tragic. She's a cow. Get a haircut. And apparently she's an activist. I have an idea: take all the moo-la-dee you and the Jay man have and go solve some problems. But that'd would require you to part with your dinero, comprende? Cow. 

Last, CBS. Who in the holy hell booked this shite? 

SB50 Prediction

Lots of commercials, some good some lame. Too much talking blah bah blah. Halftime show will blow (Coldplay?). 

And either the Panthers or Broncos will win. I could care less who. 

It's February

Shortest month, though this year it's longer than usual. February brings us:

Superbowl (Ok)

Groundhog Day (Thanks Bill Murray)

The Oscars and other awards shows (don't care)

The Walking Dead returns (yes!)

Spring training begins (double yes!)

More winter (boo!)

Valentine's Day (always a hit with the ladies)

Groundhog Day (get it?)

Other stuff

Winter Blues

Last weekend we had the mother of all storms...nearly 30" in parts of NJ (about 27 by me). This week we have temps in 40's and some melt. Forecast even shows a day near 60 next week!

SoulSlam is pretty much retired from coaching for the foreseeable future Two boys in HS will do that. I've made myself scarce at the PAL gym over the last month or so...no reason to hang around and watch. Instead I've been going to the G-Y-M to lift weights and do cardio. I've been pretty good at going 5x per week. It's a nice diversion, gives me something to do and other than the muscle aches, I feel great.

Boys are getting ready for HS baseball season. With them attending different schools (don't ask), there should eb a ton of games to go to in the spring. I am looking forward to that.
