  Nick commented to me when he started his blog that the assault on my word count was about to commence. At the time, I held a sizable lead, with about two weeks worth of posts and literally thousands of words. Well, he has now chipped and chiseled his way to within 300 words exactly of my word count, as of before this posting, and it seems all but inevitable he will surpass me in a week. Much like Jan Ullrich, I seemed doomed to fail against an American hero, in this case, Nick Lucht. My brother left for a week-long camping trip yesterday with about 12 of his buddies. They stay in a cabin that is about 15 from the Minnesota-Canada border, and from what I understand, the purpose of this trip is to: A) Drink B) Fish C) Drink, eat the fish D) Sleep Which sounds ok, even though I don't really fish.
Regardless, since he's gone, I've had to pick up his workload. So therefore over the course of 21 days, I will have had one day off. Nice. But, since his birthday is tomorrow, I gave him a giant bottle of Bacardi rum. Good times. This morning I received an email from someone I see exactly once a year, at Andy & Mandy's new year's party.
I would say she is a friend of Mandy's, but that makes it sound like i hate her guts, which i don't, so I'll say she's a friend of mine too. Anyway, she was quite amused at the inclusion of a NateRohan.com thong at the store, and thusly purchased it. Equally amused, I told her she must send me an action shot, much like Corey and Liz did. Well, she did today. And, as she put it, is not a "money shot", just an action shot. It rules.
urlLink Check it out . This week is going to be hella-nasty, with exams and extra chores gallore. Oh, hey, not that anybody I know owns an X-box, but if you do, go buy the new ESPN NFL 2K5, because it just came out and instead of charging the standard $50, they are charging $20. I had to ask the store clerk if it was correct and it wasn't just some sort of upgrade thing for last years game. Needless to say, I bought it, and its pretty good. Its pretty different from Madden, which is the standard, but its visuals are much more realistic.
So, anyway that's about it. I'm off to get ready for the Steenbock family reunion, which is usually really damn boring for me. I'll probably end up chilling with scotto baggins (my brother-in-law Scott)over many beers. And wtf is up with Ricky Williams? I know he's defiantly not your typical football player, but still. As I write this, ESPN is comparing his early retirement to others, like Gale Sayers, Jim Brown and Barry Sanders.
Uh, no. They ruled, he was just ok. This is more like the Robert Smith retirement. Oh, and way to go out on a limb and urlLink predict Lance Armstrong's victory after he had like a 3 day lead with one to go, Bush. Thats amazing. Dumbass.
I am out!
