Can you hear me now?

Going through 3 phones in a calendar year may sound excessive for the average phone user. Well for this young blogger it is not enough. The first two dead phones were a result of wear and tear and then water damage. And now after switching networks to the dark side (Verizon) I have more phone problems. Since this past Friday I have not been able to speak to or hear anyone on my phone. What makes the situation even better is that my phone still actually rings and I can answer it, but then cannot hear or say anything. For those of you who desperately need to contact me have no fear for my texting availability is still here. And after a trip to Verizon today (which is always an adventure) I learned I can get a new phone mailed to me in two days. What was more intriguing is that even though I pay 6 dollars of insurance for my phone it was still going to cost me 50 dollars for a new phone. Now maybe my understanding of what the definition of insurance is skewed but I was always under the impression that insurance meant that my phone would be insured if something happened to it (i.e. the sound stopped working). Just a misunderstanding on my part I guess.

I'm running (out) on Dunkin' Take 2

The world of work has me by the shorthairs right now with teaching, coaching two teams and reffing every chance I get but as my friend Steve-0 would say, "Anything worth doing is worth over doing." That was Steven Tyler actually but Steve likes to say it and wishes he could take credit for it so I was gonna let him have this one. He needs it.

In Sean We Trust

Now I've already went public saying that our 2009-2010 INDIANA Pacers will win 50 games next year. Im purposely stressing the word INDIANA because I'm not sure how long Larry Bird's squad will be in our fair state and I loathe the day I won't be able to speak of the Pacers as a current NBA Franchise. Moving on to happier news. After some extensive research I have found out that it will cost 6 more dollars a month to get a Direct TV package that includes WGN so I can keep up with the WWE Universe and watch WWE Superstars on Thursday evenings. 6 dollars seems to be a very interesting amount because it is the exact amount I am paying for my noninsurance for my verizon phone currently. I expect to start redirecting this 6 dollars very shortly so I can enjoy Tombstones, Batista Bombs and MVP's Ballin' Shot! ASAP.

A Love Story

I went to Ponderosa yesterday with Sean and his wife. While preparing to order I noticed that instead of just getting the buffet for 70 cents more I could get a steak and a baked potato which after asking I realized I could get it TO GO!!! So after stuffing myself with chicken wings, mashed potatoes and runny macoroni I got to put my steak and baked potato in an actual doggie bag (yes they didn't stop making doggie bags in 1977). And for supper last night I got to enjoy my 70 cent steak and baked potato in the comfort of my own home. If that's not love im not sure what is.

Inspiration for Tom

We'll just go ahead and say Steve-0 came up with this from now on, he might as well have
