Resolution Update

This year I decided to make Three New Years resolutions. These resolutions are typical, simple and attainable. I have been doing a pretty good job at keeping up with all three, good thing. My next three weeks and point of this posting will focus on one of them. That being the ever so popular going to the gym / being health resolution.

So I deciding to try and lose some of the layer of fat covering my abs. Unfortunately completely losing this layer is one of the hardest parts of the whole keeping in shape thing, especially when there is not a lot to lose. So here is the plan….


*Big Meals IE Bfast, Lunch and Dinner

-What’s aloud…Oatmeal, Cereal (Granola) & Salad

-What’s not aloud…Everything else

-Special Rule…(2) Meals a week where I can eat whatever I want


*Snacks

-What’s aloud…Cheese, Fruit & Jello

-What’s not aloud…Everything else

-Special Rule…Salsa and Chips once a week


*Kicker

-Beer…Over the past 3 weeks I have slowly lessened my consumption of Green Bottled Beverages IE Beer. I have decided that during this period I will step down as my role of Drunktown and completely discontinue Green Bottle consumption. And yes the world is still rotating on it’s axis.

-Liquor…Although I am stepping down as mayor of Drunktown I still have to have some interaction with my people. So I will partake in consumption of Vodka one time a week.



*Start Date and Length

-Sunday March 2nd @ 6:00 PM for 3 weeks.


*Achievable

-Certainly. It’s not like it’s some crazy over the top diet. I know how my body works and what I can burn well and not burn well. I think if I am able to keep it up I will see results. During this time I will of course continue going to the gym and what not. So let the games begin!

Best Shows Ever

Im pretty convinced that the Discovery Channel has two of the best shows on TV currently. Jonathon and I watched these shows a couple of weeks back and I cant get enough of them now. These shows are Man vs Wild and Fight Quest.

Man vs Wild - This show is about this insane F*&^ named Bear who tries to teach viewers how to survive the outdoors. The kicker is that unless you are completely crazy and / or insane his advice will not be useful what so ever. Check out the video below about things to eat while caught out in the wild. Look out for the fish 48 seconds in....F'n CRAZY!!!



Fight Quest - This show is about two fighters named Doug and Jimmy. Doug and Jimmy travel the world to learn various fighting styles from around the globe. But Im not sure if it is more of a learning experience or simply two guys to get the S^&* kicked out of them. Any case Doug and Jimmy are two bad A$$ fighters that are getting a chance to experience something most fighters do not. Check out the video below for a look at the last episode in Israel and a couple of clips from other episodes. Look out for the Mortal Kombat Liu Kang kick 12 seconds in. Again F'n CRAZY!!!

Cartoon Flash Back

So I had a little catoon flash back the other day and it got me thinking......Whatever happened to all of the good cartoons. You remember when you were little......Saturday and Sunday mornings were chalk full of good cartoons. I don't even think there are cartoons on any more on Saturday and Sunday morning. So I decided to put together a list of my 10 personal favorites from the 80's and early 90's. Now I realize that there are a lot of good ones that are not on here....That's why it is my list donkeys! If you want to check out the intro for each show for a little flashback just click on the name of the show and you will be directed to good ole youtube.

10) Smurfs
9) The Gobots
8) Dinosaucers
7) Count Duckula
6) Batman
5) Thundercats
4) Voltron
3) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
2) GI Joe
1) Transformers

No Way!

If this is true it is pretty gross. Check out the video below. It supposedly involves a bunch of frat guys and a urinal troth.

Music Review

What's crackin' peoples. I picked up a new album a couple weeks ago that is continuing to move it's way up my fav list. The name of the band is For The Fallen Dreams and the name of the album is Changes. This is the first full length album for these 5 hard hittin dudes from Michigan. The vocals and voice of FTFD front man Chad Ruhlig kind of reminds me of Myke Terry from Bury Your Dead. One could possibly even argue that the overall sound is similar as well. All in all Changes is a pretty solid album. Musically I think that each song flows very well, especially for a metal band. But you be the judge and check em out, click here for a link to their myspace. Later!

Next Stop Canton!

Well today is Super Bowl Sunday obviously I'm stoked to see what will hopefully be a good game. But at the same time it sucks. Why? Reason One.....Football season will be over after today (Pro Bowl doesn't count). Reason Two.....My Redskins are not playing.

But it is still somewhat a good weekend for Skins fans. Why? This weekend the announcement of the 2008 Hall of Fame Class was made and two of them were Redskins. Long time greats Art Monk and Darrell Green got their tickets to Canton.

Monk was a go to receiver that highly contributed to the Redskins winning 3 Super Bowls during his time in the Nations Capital. In 1992 Monk became the then NFL All Time Receptions leader with 820 catches.

Green was shutdown corner back that was also a key contributor the Redskins stored history and was part of 2 Super Bowl winning Redskin Teams. Green had a interception in a record 19 straight seasons.

Both of these players will always be remembered as some of the greats to all Redskins fans. Thank you so much for your contributions and congratulations!

Paging Dr. Chaos

So I was looking at spoof's on youtube today when I stumbled upon a spoof of the o so funny "My New Haircut." It's not as funny as the original. But imagining lil Rye Rye at Doctor school makes this one pretty funny. If you are not privy to Smryna/The Palace inside jokes you will be clueless on this one. But thats what makes inside jokes so funny. ADDERALL!!!!

Hello Mr. President

Last night I got to meet 42nd President of The United States Bill Clinton. Granted I didn't have some thrilling political conversation, not sure if I am even capable of that though....But it was still pretty cool. Sorry no pics.
