Thursday Random Thoughts 4/15/10
Stuff I have been thinking about:.
-First of all My Twitter Fail from yesterday has been fixed. (I hope) I don't know if I am missing anything but it seems to work. Maybe now life can get back to normal.
-Last Saturday I was in my brother in laws wedding up on Long Island. It was a great day. The ceremony was moving and the reception and party afterwards were unbelievable. The reception itself was at the Carlyle on the Green clubhouse at the Bethpage State Golf courses. This afforded us to get wedding pictures taken at the "Black" course. Made famous by becoming the first public course to host the US Open in 2002 (Won by Tiger Woods) and also hosted the US Open just last June. The black course has a very famous "warning" sign that we had our pictures taken with. Even though I am no golfer I do like famous places so I figured I would share a picture of myself with the sign. I'm sure you all are very impressed.
-Also on my trip to NY I got to hang out with my buddy the Mt. Cat as he detailed here. I did have a great time and it reminded me how much I miss hanging out with him on a regular basis. BTW Vin, Yes Jackie is "US People" I am glad you are happy buddy.
-For the first time in my life I got a speeding ticket on the trip home from NY. The speed limit was 70 int eh area where I was but they slowed it to 60 for a 3 mile work zone and I didn't slow down. State Trooper was waiting for me and wrote me a $380.00 ticket. Very frustrating. I am not sure what I am going to do just pay it or hire an attorney and fight. I have already gotten 4 letters from attorneys in the mail.
-Happy Tax Day everyone. I hope that everyone has filed already and if the government owes you money they get it back to you soon. We are still waiting for our state refund because apparently the state of NC simply ran out of money. Hmmm I thought the state lottery was supposed to fix that problem?
-Last week while in NY I completed my 100 mile journey of walking to be healthier. I was pretty happy with the results and now that I am finished I am not sure what I am going to do next for a goal but I need to come up with something.
-Is it too early at 2-6 for the NY Mets to throw in the towel on the 2010 season? Yeesh. Get it together or fire Jerry Manuel or Omar Minaya or at least do something.
One more thing. Last but not least I was out of town last week and did not officially award the NCAA trophy. Congratulations are in order to Kimmehkins who was the winner of Jay and Doc's NCAA Tournament pool. It was a fun and hard fought victory so here is your trophy:
Until next Week:

Twitter - FAIL !
I am bummed out today and very frustrated with Twitter which for some reason will no longer work on my cell phone. I feel so cut off from my twitter pals and the general knowledge that I pick up by getting updates from those I follow.Ever since our internet was out when we got home from NY on Monday I have had twitter problems. All I did was go in to remove the image I was using and switch to another and now nothing works. This morning I tried to delete and reenter my phone and now it will not send updates or twitter commands and now I cannot even receive them... ARRRRGH THE AGONY!
Twitter FAIL !!

Thank You !
I am back from a great trip to NY for my brother in law's wedding and a visit with the Mt. Cat. I am really busy at work today but wanted to thank the great guest bloggers that helped me out while I was gone. You all did such a great job that YJKOBT was more popular while I was gone than when I'm here... Seriously! Thank you!I missed you guys and hope that I can get caught up here today and post about my trip tomorrow. (Of course I came home and the Internet was down at our house so I can't post from there until I figure out if it's our router or what)
I have lots to tell but can't do it now.... I just wanted to publicly thank my awesome guest bloggers!

Doc Does Jersey City
My good buddy and our blog-master Doc came to visit me on my birthday in Jersey City on Wednesday, April 7th. We hadn't seen each other since last July. Now normally when we get together, craziness abounds. But I guess in our old age we don't have the energy. However we did have a great time and I will now try to spin the events of the evening into something that will entertain you.
The evening started at 5:30 when I met Doc in Manhattan in midtown after he took the bus in from his in-laws in East Long Island. My girlfriend Jackie met us there as well. We then hoped on the packed 6 train going downtown to transfer to Jersey City. Once in Jersey City, we enjoyed a walk along the Hudson River where Doc unveiled his birthday gift to me: A can of Food Lion's Mountain Lion soda. (Pictured with the two of us). What a surprise! It tastes like Mountain Dew but I will save the can forever.
Then the three of us went to Maker's Harborside Restaurant and met my friends Xavier and Kelly. We all ordered burgers, drank, watched the Yankee game, drank, watched the Ranger game, drank and got progressively louder. It was a perfect storm of all of our outgoing personalities. Around 9:00 we stumbled out of Marker's to meet my friend Joe at The Zeppelin Hall Beirgarten. Xavier and Kelly decided to call it a night and left, separately, and it just was Doc, Jackie and myself. We hailed a taxi to the biergarten. Joe was waiting inside patiently. Now the story gets slightly interesting. We ordered beers but the bartender looked frazzled. We think he was on drugs. He took forever to get us our beers. Finally we got ours except for Joe. We paid and waited for Joe. Finally Joe got his massive 25 ounce beer but the bartender walked away but didn't charge Joe. So he got his drink for free. I guess having a stoned bartender has it's advantages. Then we walked out to the garden area, sat on a bench and just enjoyed the great weather. After about a half hour we finished our beers and wanted to get more. Doc went inside for 15 minutes and returned empty handed. He could not get the stoned bartender's attention. It wasn't even busy at the bar! Doc was pissed. That was apparently our cue to leave and hop to the next bar.
We walked about 10 blocks to the train where Jackie was getting tired and bid farewell. So Doc, Joe and I went to the Hard Grove Cafe for a couple of Coronas each. We talked music, people watched, told jokes and acted crude since no women were no longer with us. Typical guy stuff. After about an hour and half we were beat after seven or eight drinks in five hours. We bid Joe farewell. Shane and I split a pastrami sandwich and a taxi back to my place and he crashed on the couch.
The next morning, we trained it back to Manhattan where Shane had to catch the train back to Long Island and I had to go to work. I pointed my friend in the direction of Penn Station, gave each other a bro-hug and parted our separate ways.
I am so glad Doc and I got to hang out in my town and met some of my friends. I wish he could have stayed longer but it was a very memorable night. Thanks again Doc! Lets hang out more often.
