I’m an out of shape, overweight, middle aged male. I live in the south. 2 nights ago, I didn’t get home til midnight after playing ice hockey. Everything hurt from my man boobs down. Getting up the next morning felt great after 4 hours of sleep.

I had a big company dinner last week and got an award for my years or service. I got a nice watch, but no other swag. The theme of the dinner was that of a Hollywood party, and I know all of the people who go to the Oscars and such get a bag of swag to take home. A few imprinted pens with the company name, a few gift certificates, that’s all I’m saying. A little swag goes a long way.

Thursday I started my day off the usual way. Dropping the kids off at school. Going to my favorite greasy spoon for breakfast. Then I got the phone call… the I.R.S.! WTF! Hand me the lube please! It was regarding a VERY SMALL corporation my wife and I formed several years ago and have since sold. Can’t wait to see how this goes..

All Yankee fans are Jag-offs. Yup, you heard it. Jag-offs. A Pittsburgh word used to describe the most obnoxious fans in the world by someone who lives in Tampa. You guessed it, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays just took two in a row from the Yankees. Mmmmm. Savor the Flavor.

Something I’ve been missing is my subscription FHM magazine. I signed up on one of those deals for magazines. Buy a couple of different magazines and get them real cheap. We used one of the subscriptions as a Christmas present for a buddy of mine. FHM is one of those magazines that is guy oriented, in a slightly juvenile way, but was good reading in the bathroom.

Guess I’ll have to try something different. I’ve picked up Men’s Fitness a few times, no scantily clad chicks in it, but they usually have some good exercise routines you can do that do not require a gym membership. It comes in handy when I’m in one of my “healthy” modes like I am now. Back in the fall I lost around 15 pounds or so pounds. Since the end of December I have put it all back on, plus some. In the past couple of weeks I’ve lost about five pounds and it feels good. Wednesday night is my hockey night, so I’ll get and hour of hard ice time in that will leave me feeling wiped out.

Thursday the Devil Rays got beat for the second straight game by the Angels. So far on this west coast roadie, the Rays have been crushed two straight games. The second loss saw the Rays having to go to their weak ass bull pen by the third inning. Man, you know you’re in for a long one, when you are asking the Rays bull pen to carry you for six innings.
