We're taking bets that sometimes true stories are the best stories...

Hey Everyone! Sorry I have not had the time to blog. Moving in 4,000 students in 5 days is tiring. I want to leave you with something awesome. The story of Michael Oher. You probably don't know him especially if you don't like football, but he has an incredible story. I will be there to watch this movie because I love inspiration and taking the opportunities we can to impact each others lives. Check out the trailer below. Tell me what you think.

We're taking bets that all men should read and watch this post...

I have to applaud Glamour magazine and hope that they do this more often. They had a picture in this month's issue of a plus-size model that is turning the women's magazine world on it's head. It is of a very beautiful woman who has a stomach. WHAT? Crazy talk. Someone that looks like most women in the world. (except for the fact that she is incredibly beautiful with a slamming smile.)

I know that there are so many guys who would skoff at the fact that she is a size 12 to 14, but I think there needs to be a readjustment. I may be heavy, but even with that fact I am treated better than women who might be heavy are. I just don't get it. I definitely can appreciate the Megan Fox's, Angelina Jolie's and Jennifer Aniston's of this world. I used to be completely in love with Rachel from Friends. That doesn't mean normal sized or plus size women are not beautiful, sexy and head turners. To be honest my favorite actress when I was a kid was Maureen O'Hare from Parent Trap, Miracle on 34th Street and Quiet Man. She was by no means a small woman, but she was incredibly beautiful.

Until we and by we I mean guys change our views and stop allowing the media to dictate what is beautiful we are going to have women with body issues. I think that women are the most incredible thing ever created and love that they come in all shapes and sizes. (Though I do have a problem with the crazy ones. :) I hope that Lizzi Miller and Glamour can inspire women to change how they are viewed and get guys to understand that beauty comes in many sizes.

We're taking bets that sleep is overrated...

Some thoughts:

* I am functioning on very little sleep and think I am performing at a very high level. While I would love more sleep this is the way it is going to be. Maybe it is because I love what I am doing, but I will sleep plenty when I am dead. :)

* You should wait to rub in something to a rival. Nothing else to say about that, but it is the truth.

* I will be out tomorrow at camp. No Blog. Sorry.

* The weather has been freaky lately and the weather people haven't a clue as to what is going to happen. You have to love New England. At least summer is finally here.

* Working with college students is probably one of the top ten greatest things you can do with your life. Especially my staff of 11 RAs who might be the best RAs I have ever had as a unit in an upperclassmen area at QU. :)

WTBT Volume 6 Series 2009...

We're taking bets that...

* the whooping the Sox are taking currently seems very reminiscent of 2004.
* I am just saying.
* it is hard to not sing when Use Somebody by Kings of Leon comes on the radio.
* I hope Brett Favre has an awful season for the Vikings.
* you can't believe that Hawaii is only in it's 50th year as a state.
* Hawaii is such a mature state for it's age.
* you are really excited to join CLUCK!!!
* the Little League World Series is truly quality baseball.
* making a mistake thirteen times just seems like way too much.
* James Cameron's Avatar trailer looks unbelievable and very eerie all at the same time.
* I could probably invent a better pool toy than the foam noodle.
* you have no idea what the foam noodle is for other than hitting other people.
* sometimes badgers do not even have a chance at survival.
* badgers love Spencer Gifts.
* there is nothing worse than depression except deep depression.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week

While I know some people hate this feature I enjoy it so it is back. :)

Hottie Colbie Caillat has a new CD coming out on Tuesday and it is great. She is quite a cutie. Colbie is your next door neighbor type girl who seems like she would be fun to hang out with. As always I absolutely love her smile. I hope you like her too.

We're taking bets that sometimes it is okay to answer questions with a question especially when dealing with aliens...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I do not completely support President Obama with his Health Plan because I think it does not do enough, but at least I know he is trying. With that being said anyone comparing Obama to a Nazi gets whatever is coming to them. Crazy Barney Frank from good old Massachusetts had to confront one of these wackos at a Town Hall meeting in Dartmouth, MA. Watch what he does. I absolutely love it. You have to be direct and just tell things like they are. She actually called a Jew a Nazi supporter. That is as crazy as calling the sun a lollipop and the clouds pickles. Only wackos can do things like that. What I don't get is why the wackos(Lou Dobbs) are always getting on TV. You can disagree with the president. You don't even have to them as a person, but there is a limit to what we should say to the people around us about others. Just saying something shocking does not get your point across it just makes you look foolish and stupid!!!

We're taking bets that Lance Armstrong still has some pull

Did you hear what Lance Armstrong did in Scotland? I would be lucky to get my best friend to come if I gave him a direct invite and he probably owes me one. (Actually I probably owe him.) It is amazing to me the power of the technology today. Granted I still don't have a cell phone, but I still get by and I understand most technology better than people with cell phones. Everyone is now a little bit international. I mean a bike ride with Lance Armstrong is cool on so many levels as long as he isn't racing you. Then you are pretty much done.

People can say all they want about Lance doping, but I have a hard time believing it. The amount he has done to help find a cure for cancer and making it cool in the process is amazing. Everyone wants a little piece of him. Though I am glad the wristband craze has faded out. More celebrities need to be involved in causes as publically as Lance. He has completely put himself out there. Lots of them donate time, which is great, but to actually explain why you support said charity and inspire others is what all celebrities can do. Even Heidi and Spencer who are fake celebrities. I just wanted you all know that Lance Armstrong inspires me to do what I can. As he said in Dodgeball...

"Quit? You know, once I was thinking of quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and won the Tour de France 5 times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying of that's keeping you from the finals?... Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't anything to regret for the rest of their life. Well good luck to you!"

* sometimes you can be way too good at hiding.
* Hurricane season is here and it is going to be a good one.
* if you don't love the Little League World Series something is seriously wrong with you.
* I am shocked no one commented about my dissing of Dane Cook.
* Tiger is just not the same golfer he was before his injury.
* the biggest cupcake will probably not be the most moist cupcake.
* it is very weird how much women hate the word moist.
* it is almost as bad as Can't Understand Nothing Today.
* speaking of moist you should check out the moist towelette Museum.
* David Wright getting beaned was very scary.

* sometimes it is hard to decide which is the best risk to take.

* I bet you didn't think I was going to use moist again in this post.
* most of this blog is just to make me laugh.
* Top Chef and Project Runway premieres should make this a good week to watch TV again.
* it is very weird when on a Monday morning at 8:40ish there was a line at the liquor store and no one in Dunkin Donuts.

We're taking bets that I am probably right and you are probably wrong...

Here are a few observations that I have made over the last few days.

* Some people are too sensitive for their own good. It must be debilitating to react like a crazy person to everything people say or do around you. You should not be bringing stress into my life. I know that I am too laid back, but that doesn't mean I am looking for the worry train to come my way. Remember most of the time it is not about you. We are all really too self-centered to be talking or acting for your benefit. Of course I know many of you think I am talking about you, but I am not. I am talking about other people with at least one person you don't know in mind.

* I am not always proud being a male when I go out with my friends. Overall guys are creepers and I am sorry women have to put up with it. I am a watcher when I go out. (Sounds intrusive I know, but more of a watcher of what happens not a stalker making people uncomfortable.) It is weird watching guys "accidentally" rub up against a woman or grab a girl and make her talk to them. It makes things harder for the nice guy who takes a 1/2 hour to go up to a girl to even say hi and walk away. Most women are already on the defense because of you creepers. Do me a favor... make eye contact first then go up to the person and dance. Don't be sneaky or touchy.

* When you are in a supermarket (Big Y, Stop & Shop) please do not block the whole aisle. It is wide enough for the both of us. (Even a big guy like me) When you see me coming (and I know you see me) get out of the way. We should not have to put lights on the carts so I can flash you to get out of the way. I am not going high speed down the aisle. Well at least when there are people in the aisle. It is frustrating because the worst part is you look at me like I am inconveniencing you for even saying "Excuse Me". I have decided that I am going to wait for you to get in line and then get behind you and hit you in the back of the ankle with my cart. Then I will say, "Sorry I didn't see you there because I am a jerk like you." I also may put a few items on the belt that you didn't select to see what happens. It may annoy you, but you deserve it and it will make me much happier on my ride home.

We're taking bets that...

* it is good to be back.
* the Red Sox comeback last night might be the start of something special.
* Damon Weaver rocks and might be better than Katie at interviewing.
* sometimes the end is not the end.
* Kevin Hart is freaking hilarious and you should check out his comedy special "I am a Grown Little Man."
* older people are weird when it comes to going to the park.
* race is probably the issue with that park.
* it was great seeing Tom Brady play football again.
* cinnamon does not plump up your lips.
* stupidity comes in all sizes and usually it is somewhere in an active tornado area.
* you should be excited that the EPL has started.
* most of you are trying to figure out what the EPL is.
* it might just be me, but Mariah Carey breast still keep getting bigger with each album she puts out.
* everyone being a winner or getting a prize has gone too far.
* when you see eye to eye with someone on an issue it is no one else's business.
* you need to check out the trailer for the movie Legion. It's going to be badass.
* Dane Cook might not be funny anymore.
* Jon needs to be punched in his face a lot and Kate needs a hair cut.
* if I had known I would of found a guy to do this with today because I support gay marriage.
* 7+ hours in a classroom is way too long.
* Austrians have really big mailboxes.
* it is probably because their postcards are the size of poster board and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
