So sorry for the lack of post yesterday. I never knew how many people read till I didn't post for a day. I got more "kind words" from my fans than I knew were possible. There were no "are you on your deathbed" or "is there anything you need in life to allow you to post a blog today"... it was more "what the h*ll is up" or "why haven't you posted yet". Just kidding.....

But I decided to list all the reasons why I didn't blog yesterday and let you choose which ones to use:

1) Spent the morning with OJ trying to find the "real" killers
2) My dog ate my blog
3) Couldn't resist the Sex and the City Marathon on TBS (um.... NO!)
4) Stayed up way too late watching the White Sox win (dangit) in 14 innings
5) Had breakfast with Britney to try to smooth things over in our new "friendship"
6) Put my shoes on backwards so spent all day making wrong turns. Ended up in Wisconsin before I figured it out.
7) Was on phone all night helping Sheryl Swoopes figure out "who she is" (btw - not sure why this is a huge thing..... gay athletes shouldn't change the way we look at sports and besides, nothing and I mean NOTHING can save the WNBA and make me watch. If there's bass fishing on, it gets a higher priority than WNBA.... WE GOT GAME!!)
8) Teddy Ruxpin was reading me bed time stories and he kept skipping so wouldn't shut up.
9) I decided it was a perfect 35 degree morning so went for a 10 mile run. What's funny is how many people actually think this way! Sick-os!
10) I was making reservations for a Brews Brothers team outing on Lake Minnetonka. Had to make a lot of calls to Louisiana, Houston, and Atlanta to bring up some "friends"
11) My bookie called with some deals I couldn't pass up.... he's now fired.
12) I was out practicing my form for tonight's return to the lineup for bowling. I'm shooting for a 360 series tonight!!!
13) Begging for money so I can fill up my Trailblazer with gas. Should have fixed the Saturn when I had the chance!
14) Had my eye appointment yesterday morning and spent the morning with my eyes dilated and couldn't really focus on anything till afternoon. Dang right eye is a stronger level again... I hate getting older.
15) Was in depression when I found out my usual cute assistant at the eye doctor place is now married which happened between my last visit two years ago and yesterday morning..... another one gone:(
16) Had dinner reservations with Brittany Murphy and we had way too much to drink! One thing led to another.... and before you knew it we were back at her place jumping on the trampoline! She said it was a sleep-over so I said "Well, okay... but I get to be on top."....... anyone following? There has to be some fans of Big out there! I know of one fan that better have caught that after I heard of you doing the chopsticks keyboard dance in public!!! That's still pretty funny C!
17) Still wondering how I was a week off with my Star Wars release date. Trying to figure out what to do for the next 5 days!
18) Neighbors wanted to throw a kegger so I was planning out a party with them including Keg Stands, beer pong, and flippy cup (new game I was kindly introduced to (involves some random chick biting me on the neck so I wouldn't win) rules and explanation coming soon)
19) My fan base in Columbia Missouri and I spent a lot of time "plotting" for future events and activities. You know who you are!!
20) No good reason really, sorry again to disappoint. But keep coming back and reading!!! Thanks for watching!

Gas is $2.29 this morning.... sorry, $2.299 to be exact. I know people are saying "That is so much better" but that's a bunch of crap. It's like saying, "I'm glad he stopped punching me in the jimmy and just resorted to slapping me hard across the jaw". I remember Drew in his infinite wisdom telling me once how people acclimate to the newer higher prices so when prices do even a little bit of "relief" they think that's so much better when in reality, it's not. This is how they get away with driving the prices higher and higher. It's called inflation and it sucks! BTW - the link on the word acclimate goes to the dictionary definition for my engineering friends. I have to do that for some of them that hate words with more than one syllable. Drew was exactly right..... he also was exactly right when he said "wait till you put in that first $25 tank of gas into the new Trailblazer"... shit, I wish I only had to put in $25 now;) I think Drew was a fortune teller in a former life. Just needs more practice to get back on track in this one!

My big thing lately has been "Karma"... I might spend all of tomorrow on that. But the new thing I was "invited" to think about last night were about talking to my angels. Still thinking about that one. Maybe that's been my problem lately. More on that one later. But fair warning - Karma is very real and will bite you in the ass later on so be nice to one another!!

Song of the Day - After seeing Aaron Neville sing God Bless America at the World Series the other night, I now have Don't Know Much going through my head. What a shitty song to have going through your head. Need some help here folks, usually my solution is to listen to the song and then it's gone but I am proud to say I don't own this one.

Video of the Day - Um... haven't really watched movies this week with Baseball on. "The Apprentice" is on tonight (the one with Trump who my nephew Alexander thinks looks like me). Still haven't watched last week's episode so don't ruin it for me. I'm hoping there are 2 fewer of the annoying stupid girls left but doubt it. Probably some new controversy for the guys and now 2 of them are gone.

Webpage of the Day - 7-Foot Great Dane. Although I'm not a fan of Great Danes, it would be cool to have a dog this big. Oso isn't 7 feet tall, but he's cuter than the dog in the article. Oso is in the off season for our training for the Great Outdoor Games, but we're still doing mental exercises to keep the momentum going for next year's 25 foot jump!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
