C. A. T. S. Cats, Cats, Cats!!!

So the Cats stomped the Bucs of ETSU. Great game had by all, and the Cats have really rounded into form at the right time. The upsets have continued tonight as teh Bobcats of Ohio destroy John Thompson the VIII Hoyas. I may have lost one of my sweet sixteen with that game, but I never mind seeing a non-UK related upset in March. The question now is if the Cats will be playing WFU or the Longhorns. Either way, I don't think either can hang if the Cats continue their shooting as they did tonight.
Luckily the game was out of hand late in the second half. MJ and I had a little chastising from the Boss. Something about picking up. Why does this always happen during an important game. If course, i didn't dare look at the growing DVR clock on the T.V. as to make matters worse. Just grin and bear it. Oh well, Cats won, and it's looking like it's going to be the Demon Deacons and the Cats squaring off Saturday night.
Something to ponder, Baylor has the tournament's all name team with LaceDarius, Tweety, Ekpe.
Good night and GO BIG BLUE!!!

Laid Off Manny

So, I was laid off on Monday. Now, I'm just another laid off drug rep looking for work. A dime a dozen, right? I have to say though, I can't think if a better time for a college sports fan to be stuck at home unemployed. I am sitting at home watching Vandy and Murray State battle back and forth, after watching Florida and Baylor go to double overtime and Nova and Robert Morris also go into OT. I love March Madness!!! I mean, technically I'm getting paid right now with my severance, so I have told my wife that when I took the last three days to fill out my bracket that I am in a sense like an analyst. She did't buy it. So, I must say, I guess I'll have plenty of time to write, something I've been wanting to get back into since my days as a food critic ended a couple of years ago. There should be more to come later, unless I get too busy watching the Cats tonight. GO BIG BLUE!!!

Women

So, as a man that deals with women non-stop I feel as though I may be an expert on the subject. Yes, I realize there is no such thing, but I am certainly qualified to advise. As a man whose immediate family consists of two grandmothers, a mother, two sisters, two nieces, a wife, and two daughters, I certainly know women. Although, my advice does come with one stipulation. All women are different, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. What I say doesn't work for me, so why would it work for another man? I don't know, but I thought I may give one man a single piece of reasonable advice in reference to the fairer of the sexes then this blog has served its purpose.

Life

So, it's been a while since I've posted. Well, really this is my first post. I have two children, both girls. My three year old talks all of the time, and wears nothing but her Disney Princess dress up clothes and my, now eleven month old is really quite funny. Not that my oldest wasn't, but it is funny how different they are. LB is much more clingy while MJ seemed to be more independent. My question is, have these traits been established, or are they just the quirks of toddlers? I say learned. We both notice things they both do that we also do. Nature versus Nurture. I feel nurture wins 90% of the time.

Hello, my name is. . .

Allow myself to . . . introduce myself. I am a 32 year old male living in Kentucky with my wife and two daughters. I enjoy writing and thought blogging would be a pretty good way to do so. Plus, I think I'm a pretty funny guy with some funny stories to tell. Basically, with all of the other crap on the web, I thought I'd add a little more to get lost in the shuffle. If I can make some people laugh while doing so, even better.
My interests are, in no particular order, family, food, traveling, writing, UK sports, reading, photography, SCUBA diving, movies and television. Damn, that's a lot of stuff. I didn't realize I was so well rounded! Most of my posts will revolve around something to do with these topics, or just life in general and how they have affected me and/or my family. For the one person that will probably read this, thanks! If anyone else happens to stumble upon it, STOP!!! Maybe you'll find something you like. So that's me in a nutshell. I hope you like it. Life posts to follow.
