Welcome!

Welcome to my blog. I will ensure content straight from my ID (go back to pysch 101) and a couple typos.



This blog will have a sample personal stories and observations as well as some things simply to think about.



I will send an email out every time I post. If you would like to be included on the email distribution, email me. Enjoy!

The Results are in...

Well... Thank you for all of the support in my 2 mile endurance race against my boss. As many of you already know, i was not triumphant (See picture- This is about 1.5 miles into it). Overall, Friday ranks as one of my saddest days in my young life. To be precise, it is the 2nd saddest day after losing the 3rd grade spelling bee in the first round on the word "business."



Is the competition over? Have I lost? I need only to reflect on the wise words from Bluto (Jon Belushi) in Animal House to rally my spirits and go back and compete.


“OVER? Nothing is over until we decide it is, was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??? It ain't over now, because when the going gets tough....................The tough get going!” ~ Bluto






I will not sit down and take this defeat like most will... I will not endure endless office ridicule! I will not go quietly into the Night! I willl not Vanish without a Fight! The inches I need to win are all around me!


Thus, I am proposing the Five Star Sports Gauntlet Competition which will span the summer with the following events:
  • Horse Basketball Shooting


  • Archery


  • Connect-4 Competition (Sponsored by Jason Glushon)


  • Dave & Busters Triad: Mini Golf + Batting Cages + Go-Karts


  • Home Run Derby (on the Westport Little League Field)


  • Bocchi Ball


  • Fans Choose (Please vote on what the 7th event will be)- The winner was Chubby Bunny Competition


I believe the events outlined above represent a nice blend of different mind-games and athletic tests of strength and skill.


I will provide continuous updates throughout the summer.

Note: Inspirational quotes in red are from the Movie Independence Day (Side note: What has happened to Jeff Goldbloom???) and Any Given Sunday.

    It seems that having both Batting Cages and a Home run Derby seem a bit redundant. I would substitute the D&B batting cages for something more, say, D&B. How about skee-ball? That's sufficiently awesome.

    As for slot number seven, I suggest a series of wacky relays. These could include but are not limited to: ping-pong ball on a spoon, crab walk, scooter race, race with one of those big bouncy ball things you sit on (http://www.bindependent.com/prodpics/eeb150.jpg), and my personal favorite,the three legged race. you would obviously need a partner for the latter of the examples. May i suggest someone of similar height and extensive three-legged racing experience? Now where could you find such a person?
