Day 9: The Person Who Has Gotten You Through The Most


I am of the opinion that Ben Folds has written a song for just about every problem in life, lol. Folds' music has gotten me through a lot over the years.

Day 7: Your Most Treasured Item


Think I'll have to go with my custom Blues jersey on this one. Yeah, I know at the end of the day it's a shirt. To me though it is really special. I've wanted a custom Blues jersey since I was a youngin' and never really thought I'd get one until Christmas before last when it was all I asked for. Hooked up exactly how I wanted it, my favorite number 13 and the alternate captain patch for my all time favorite Al MacInnis. Its a small dream come true for me really, so I take care of it and really cherish it.

Day 6: A Picture Of A Person You'd Like To Trade Places With For A Day

For this one I just picked the first person who popped into my head. It was...


Jeff Bridges.

I think I'd just love to see what his day to day life is like, because Jeff Bridges is such a wild card in the celebrity world. Hollywood is so shitty. Don't get me wrong, I'm a film buff and I can even occasionally get caught up in some trashy celebrity gossip (I blame Denise leaving her US Weekly's for me to thumb threw in the summer!) but it's such a superficial word. Jeff Bridges is an A list actor and yet seems like the most laid back and sincere person on planet Earth. I'd love to check out a day in the dudes shoes.

Day 5: Your Favorite Memory


Once again, two-a-days. At least I won't drop the ball when it's thrown my way, right Hova?

Anyway, it's hard to pick just one memory to call your favorite. I could easily have done my first Wrestlemania or some stuff from the glorious Mania 25 trip too. Or my first wrestling show I was on or some stand out moments. When I had to decide though I found this picture and decided it was the one to post. Of all the Wrestlemania's my crew has went to, Orlando for Mania 24 was overall the best. The card was great topped off by seeing Ric Flair's last (good) match. It was the first year we all got to sit and stay together. My friends that where like family all crammed into a timeshare house outside of Orlando having great times from the moment we woke up until the last one of us (me, always) went to bed. Perfect temperatures with just enough rain to let you know it's a nice Florida night. Perfection.

This is the best picture to sum up the weekend. As you can see, there is nobody else left in the stadium at that point. We sat around taking pictures, goofin' off, and just taking in the experience we had all had with each other over the past few days until the security folks kicked us out. We didn't want to leave because we knew that was it. We would go home, cook a pizza and crash and those would be our last activities on "Wrestlemania Weekend". Then the next day it was a 20 hour drive home and back to our separate parts of the country. We soaked up every moment we could, that's why I chose this photo for Day 5.

I feel comfortable talking about this even though it sounds like I'm marking out for Mania. Two reasons, one if you don't get excited for Wrestlemania what are you doing anywhere around wrestling? Secondly, it was so much more than a wrestling show. We built a family that weekend that would last for another two or three years. Its gone now, and I miss my three or four times a year, crazy ass, road trippin family.

Day 4: A Picture Of Your Night

Fucking heartbreak. Thank for scoring goals when you where here in St. Louis there Johnson. Oh wait, you didn't, that's why we traded you. Well, fuck off then.

Day 3: The Cast Of My Favorite Show

Already doing two-a-days. Not a good sign.

Anyway, I like a lot of shows but right now, gun to my head, The League is my favorite.

Day 2: You And The Person You've Been Closest With The Longest


Man I was way fat in 2008!

Any-who, this is from Halloween '08 when I went as The Dude and Pat went at Tony Stark. Patrick is more like a brother than a friend. Our parents where friends when we where "young". I say that in quotes because there's like a 6 or 7 year age difference between us. I think I was in kindergarten and he was in 6th grade when I started to tag along with out parents and he would be there. Pretty soon, I started to go over to his house and hang out. Pat never bitched about having such a little kid around, and eventually we just became friends. The rest is history.
