Why I Don't Have A Girlfriend

There are probably many reasons, but one of them is obvious. I'm sitting next to my friend Josh right now, and he is on his cell phone with his girlfriend. I literally thought he was just resting on his hand and looking at his computer, because for a good 20 minutes I never heard him say a single thing, then he said something like, "Oh, really?" And he went quiet again for at least ten minutes before eventually agreeing with whatever was said and saying good night.

Josh knows what he's doing. He gets it. I don't.

XOXO, Blogger

I have recently become more entrenched in the blogosphere for a number of reasons, that are not very important. What's important is that my world is opening up to a whole new world of writers that are really interesting, and have a unique voice. Many of these bloggers are women, presumably in their 20s-ish, who have made culture a huge part of their life, and they are happy to share their passion for it with the world. Or more accurately the blogosphere.

One of my favorite aspects about these writers is their slang, lingo, and overall dialect. I truly enjoy the cheery and blissful way that they express their thoughts, and their overall enjoyable view point on the world over. One of my favorite parts of this is when someone writes in a way that just feels fun and then signs their name with an "xo" attached to it. So if my name was actually NiceDangPaes, I would sign my name -NiceDangPaesxo

If this felt false I wouldn't enjoy it even a little, but these chicks are clearly writing about things that they truly care about and they are more than happy to spread their love a little bit.

So to this new world of writers who make it their duty to spread the culture they care about to broader audiences, or just enjoy gossiping about The Hills. I say keep on keepin on.

Laughrodisiac

During our 5 day tour of Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Diego this weekend one of the many sources of laughter was Chris's impersonation of Reverend Wright. Chris does a ridiculously good/loud impersonation of Reverend Wright's, "Not God Bless America. God Damn America!" And it happened at incredibly hilarious and inappropriate times throughout the weekend. It sounded just like this only way way louder. Until I can get Chris on Video, just take a look at the clip, amplify the volume ten fold, and imagine Chris in restaurants, casinos, airports, sidewalks, etc. around the fair cities of Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Diego.

I should add that we are all big supporters of Senator Obama, and Chris is just funny.

. . . And Hilarity Ensues

Hannah "Fine Wine" Storm

One of the greatest names in reporting is back in the world of sports. I think she's been floating around the airwaves for awhile, but the NBA on NBC host of my childhood, Hannah Storm, is now hosting the new, live morning edition of Sports Center. At some point, in the last ten years, Hannah got kind of hot.

Hannah used to look like this:



And she showed up on my TV this morning looking like this:



This is not quite as cool as when I saw Summer Sanders in the airport, but I'm still pretty excited to have this new and improved Hannah Storm back in my daily, sports watching life.
