Just so I get a post Up

Few quick important facts on my life, and a fact that will interest students at Highlands. I will post more later, when I have the time.

1. I am now the Supervisor for my construction company. I drive, I do inspections, I do quality audits, you name it. I just don't do anything physical anymore.

2. Danielle Dayton is getting married May 4th! Anyone want to come in from Bolivia for the wedding?

3. Went to the doctor today. It seemed like they took all of my blood to run tests. Some tests will take up to 2 weeks, so I won't be able to tell you what's wrong with this fine body of mine until March 6th.

4. Mark Voss and I sit next to each other in the office at work. How strange is this world? do we actually get any work done? good question.

5. I weigh 175 lbs. according to the doc's scale. Pure muscle I tell you.

6. Brent and his girlfriend are getting married. They're going to use Quinoa as their ring-bearer........

7. My brother dislikes 24 because he just now realizes it's unrealistic. Really DAVE, it took you 6 seasons to figure that out???? maybe it's just good tv and you should relax and not analyze so much....

8. But he may be right, Gregory House is the BADDEST A@@ on television.....

I'm out, more to come later.

Never Fear

For some reason, many of you thought I was NOT going to post ANYTHING about the Bears being in the super bowl. For those many, I have only one thing to say: You of little faith, do you not remember me? When it comes to sports, I am the same yesterday, today, and forever (i hope i'm not blaspheming by saying that). I AM Chicago. I AM Illinois. I may live in Denver, Seattle, and La Paz, but I will only ever root for the teams from one city, one state. I will hate all others. It's how I was born, it's what I do. Below are 2 Examples:

1) I LOVE the Chicago Cubs. With loving the Chicago Cubs comes facts that I do not control, such as:

I HATE the White Sox, I HATE the Red Sox, I HATE the Yankees, and I HATE the Cardinals. And then, I hate the Tigers, Twins, Blue Jays, Orioles, Devil Rays, Indians, Royals, A's, Angels, Rangers, Mariners, Mets, Phillies, Braves, Marlins, Nationals, Astros, Reds, Brewers, Pirates, Padres, Giants, Diamondbacks, and Rockies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) I LOVE the Chicago Bears. With loving the Chicago Bears, again, comes facts that I do not control, such as:

I HATE the Green Bay Packers, I HATE the Minnesota Vikings, I HATE the Detroit Lions, I HATE the Rams, I HATE the Colts, I HATE the Patriots, and I hate the 49'ers. And then, I hate a little less all of the other teams. And of course, if there were a team for what Scott calls "Chicago's Parking Lot", I would hate them too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With all of that said, my mom always told me that the word "hate" is too strong a word, and that I am never to use it. SO, for my mom, please change every word "hate" to "dislike".

The Bears will most likely win this Super Bowl. They are the under-dogs, I know, by every expert in the world. Although I am not sure why. They have the better run defense, they have the better pass defense, they have the better turnover percentage, and they have the better special teams. The Colts have the better offense. So who will win?

The Bears: 46
The Colts : 10

*same score as the '85 Super Bowl versus the New England Patriots
