World Peace Threw an Elbow

You don't hear this too often... "That's absolutely disgraceful, the way World Peace threw that elbow."  Not very peaceful, huh?

Dick Clark is dead

I had him on my list a couple years ago. Not this year. I suck at the Celebrity Death Pool.

Saturday Sadness

I worked from morning through the night on a Saturday yesterday. All I do is work. My life sucks. I hope your lives are better than mine.

Drama

Whenever I read in online profiles that a girl says she is "drama-free," I immediately assume she has a history of drama in her life. I don't mind drama. I plan to win an award for my performances in daily life.

The Bodyguard Can't Stop That

None of us saw the death of Whitney Houston coming on our celebrity death pool lists! Crazy!

Snow Job

On this unseasonably warm winter evening, a reflection: Those guys sure know how to have fun!

Celebrity Death Pool 2012

I know I'm way late on this and will abstain from competition and from also knowing who has already died this year. This is my list for the remainder of the year, just for the hell of it. I CANNOT win, just for fun for me. I'll try to remember next year.
1. Nelson Mandela
2. Prince Philip
3. Betty White
4. Jimmy Carter
5. Wilford Brimley
6. Sir Thomas Sean Connery
7. Queen Elizabeth II
8. Muhammad Ali
9. Casey Anthony
10. Joan Rivers

Oh no!

It's a five-day work week! Noooooo!!!

2012 Celebrity Death Pool

A reminder of the rules to Thom and anyone else who wants to partake in the 2012 Celebrity Death Pool:
1) You choose 10 people and post them to the Blog
2) You can only take five of the people from your list the previous year
3) At mid-year, five extra people can be chosen
4) Each entrant must forfeit $10 to the winner
5) In the event of a tie, monies are split

Also, Thom - since rule #5 says monies are split, I don't think we should continue over from last year. We both "won", so...

Here's my list:

1. Zsa Zsa Gabor*
2. Ariel Sharon*
3. Dick Cheney
4. Stephen Hawking
5. Billy Graham
6. Nelson Mandela*
7. Kirk Douglas*
8. Ernest Borgnine
9. Jerry Lewis
10. Fidel Castro*

* used last year

History of the Death Pool:
Thom won in 2010 with 1 death.
Thom and Waple tied in 2011 with 2 deaths apiece (Waple - Steve Jobs, Kim Jong-Il, Thom - Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Jong-Il)

Celebrity Death Pool 2012

Everyone will die, because it's the end of the world! No, just kidding.

Here is my list for 2012:

Aretha Franklin*

Ray Bradbury*

Jerry Lewis*

Billy Graham*

Zsa Zsa Gabor*

Margaret Thatcher

Joe Paterno

Mickey Rooney

Muhammad Ali

Eli Wallach

*Used last year.

May your days be shiny and bright.

Ok, so maybe I don't check/contribute to this blog often enough. However, when I do, I usually upload amazing photos from those sweet days at Collins. I miss you all a lot.

Dating Is Worthless (to Me)

Time to vent... I've tried all sorts of dating sites. Every girl I meet is not right for me. I've been on all sorts of dates without anything coming of it. I've even created a set of superficial guidelines to determine whether I should spend time pursuing certain girls. I've had too many worthless dates to not have a screening process. I have resigned myself to being a bachelor. I'm perfectly content being alone. It doesn't bother me. I know I'm awesome. If no one else sees that, it's their problem. In other words, dating is worthless to me.

Testing 1-2-3

Does anyone read this anymore?

New job = MASSIVE CELEBRATION!

All my hard work and patience has paid off. I have a new job. Let's celebrate! When is everyone free for a financially irresponsible night in the city? Um, I didn't mean that. I've learned my lessons. Nothing but fiscal responsibility here. Regardless, let's celebrate!

Charles Benson: Machine or Man?

I still can't decide on this one. Janet said that after six years of dating him, she "thinks" he's human. I'm more inclined to believe he's a robot. That, or he's John Connor.

Epic Tweedy.

How did you bastards miss this show? I say Thom books him next.

How was the trip?

Mike and Waple- Tell us all about the trip out East!

The Movie of Your Life

Someone is going to make a movie about your life. What will it be called and who will play you?

Here are mine:

Comedy- "Laughing Giant" starring Jason Segal

Drama- "Will Write for Food" starring James Franco (because of his killer writing background outside of acting)

Too Much Sleep

I have come to the determination that I need more sleep than the required 7-8 hours per night. I'm not quite sure how much sleep I need, but I think it's closer to 12 hours than 7. In other words, my body wants me to sleep half of every day. That's absurd. What about you? How much sleep do you think you need?

Betty Ford

Was Betty Ford on any of our lists?
