Top 5 - Websites!

Top 5 is back! Today I am doing my top 5 favorite websites to go to. A couple guidelines to think about while creating your list. Your email account does not count (ie gmail). I am lumping all the blogs I read into one. I will do a top 5 some day of my blogs but for today, they count as one.

1. My blogs - Really, this was a no brainer since I gave myself the out. I have a google reader to keep up with all my blogs. Thank you google reader!
2. Espn.com - To be honest, this is really for sportsguy. I listen to his podcasts and read his articles diligently. If he was not there, I do not think it would be in the top 5.
3. Twitter - Yes twitter. I like twitter way more than facebook. The only thing really drawing me to facebook is Vinny's (fake gambling).
4. WSJ online - What can I say? I like me some wall street journal.
5. Google.com - This sounds weird but google is my go to for looking up anything. I am there a lot and they never disappoint.

I think metromix.com would have been high as well. It is a great resource for Chicago.

Happy hump day!

Top 5 - Cable Channels!

Well, there were some rumbling about a top 5. Not to disappoint my readers, today is the top 5 favorite cable channels. I had to think about this one for a while. Really, ESPN is my issue. I am not really a fan of sportscenter. I usually watch ESPNNEWS for summaries of games but ESPN shows sporting events and specials like 30 for 30. Anyway, ESPN was really my hardest decision. Also, no movie channels like HBO, Showtime, etc. I think my list will be similar to most other guys. I think my female readers will have a very different list.

1. TNT - It is usually the first channel I go to. It has NBA games throughout the season. It covers golf and has a nice mix of movies. Sports, movies, I am sold.

2. ESPN - If we could bundle all of ESPN channels into one, I would have said ESPN is #1 in a heartbeat. It shows too much sports not to be in the mix.

3. USA - USA has the best tv shows of the cable channels. Monk, Psych, Royal Pains, reruns of House and NCIS - I am hooked. It also shows WWE, the Masters and some tennis.

4. TBS - Baseball playoffs, weekly sunday baseball games, good movies, and they have the best comedy show reruns on (i.e. Seinfeld, family guy, the office, etc.)

5. FX - Any channel that gave me the Shield and now gives me It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has to be on my top 5 list.

Anyway, that is my list. As you see, I don't watch many news shows. It usually revolves around sports and movies and sometimes tv shows.

Happy Tuesday!

Top 5 - Patrick Swayze

RIP Patrick Swayze. In honor of his death, I am doing a top 5 movies for the myth, the man, the legend, Patrick Swayze. He was in a few movies that I love. My list will look VERY different than any female that posts her top 5 in my comment section.

Before I post my top 5, here are a few interesting facts about the man.

1. In 1991, he was chosen as People magazine "sexiest man alive". Of course, this is one year after Ghost came out.
2. He attended Joffrey ballet school.
3. He first met his wife when she was 14 years old. He was 18. She was taking dance lessons from his mother.

On to my top 5...

1. Road House - Any movie that also involves Terry Funk is going to be high on my list! This really was a no brainer for me.
2. Point Break - The funny thing about this movie is that I can not turn it off these days. Every time it is on, it sucks me in.
3. The Outsiders - This is just an amazing movie. There are so many talented actors in this movie including Tom Cruise, Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, C. Thomas Howell and Emilio Estevez. If you have not seen it, rent it.
4. Red Dawn - WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Dirty Dancing - Nobody puts baby in the corner.

RIP Swayze.

Editor's Note: I have never seen Next of Kin. I know...shocking.

Top 5 - a blog in review

Hello all! In a good bye to the year, I am asking you all to look back! I am doing my top 5 favorite top 5 lists I have done to date. If you go to one of my top 5 lists, the subject at the bottom of the post is top 5. If you click on that, it will give you a good summary of all the top 5 posts. Anyway, these below were my favorite either because I really enjoyed writing them or I enjoyed researching them or I felt the list was solid.

1. Top 5 American Beers - I posted this one around July 4th and I loved the list. I loved the conversation this caused with other people. Just a good topic and good timing for it.
2. Top 5 words with video - It was my first post with video and I thought it was hilarious and turned out very well.
3. Top 5 Paul Newman movies - It was therapeutic to me to spend a week counting down this icon's movies. RIP Newman.
4. Top 5 Athletes I want to drink with - I think this topic is very fun to think about and I feel like my list is very solid. I would change nothing!
5. Top 5 TV Theme songs - This was very fun to research. I can not tell you how many theme songs I listened to but it brought back a lot of good memories. It was very enjoyable.

Well, good bye 2008 and hello 2009! If everyone enjoyed the top 5s half as much as I enjoyed writing them, then it was a success.

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND GO HAWKS!!!

Top 5 - Christmas Movies

I have to say that tethering to a blackberry to get wireless connection on my computer is pretty nice. I am writing this blog as I sit on the back porch of Michelle's parents' house. On a quick sidenote, Michelle's Uncle Tom got an eagle on a par 4 today. He chipped it in from about 100 yards away. It was AWESOME. So, today's top 5 is Christmas movies and cartoon movies are allowed. I am excluding Die Hard and Gremlins. It just made it too hard. So, without further ado, from my 82 degree surroundings, here are mine.

1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - I love this movie especially the amount of lights that are on the house and Randy Quaid's character.
2. A Christmas Story - I once got a beebee gun for christmas. I probably wanted it because of this movie too.
3. Scrooged - Bill Murray plays a great role in this movie and I love the ghost of Christmas past. She is a riot.
4. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the cartoon) - Who doesn't love the Grinch? Really?
5. Home Alone - Any christmas movie that has a polka bank from Sheboygan will always make my top 5!

Time to jump in the pool....

Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!

Top 5 - Baseball Movies

Ok, we are coming to the home stretch for my run of top 5s. I also have an idea of what the next two will be. Lets just say next week's top 5 has to do with Christmas movies. This week's list is self explanatory. Give me your top 5 baseball movies. This maybe a shocker to some. Field of Dreams will be no where NEAR my top 5. If you need help, think of movies, go here.



1. Bull Durham - I can not really explain it. Of course, Cosner is going to be in everyone's list in someway shape or form. I like that this movie takes place in the minor leagues. My favorite scene is the huddle on the pitcher's mound when everyone is trying to figure out their problems. Classic.

2. The Natural - I love the time period of the movie. This is another one that takes places in the minors. Roy Hobbs is the best damn hitter I ever saw.

3. Major League - Baseball's best comedy. Who doesn't love Jobu?

4. League of their Own - Tom Hanks nailed this role. Very unique movie. I could not even fathom this happening today. Just crazy. I find I have a hard time turning this movie off if it is on TV.

5. Bad News Bears (the old one obviously) - Chico's bail bonds - Enough said.

If I were to continue this list, Long Gone, 8 men out and Sandlot would be next.

Let me give a shout out to Long Gone here. It was a made for HBO movie. It is a very underrated movie. The lead actor, Stud Cantrell is played by William Peterson (head actor on CSI now) and his main squeeze in the movie is Virginia Madsen. It is a story about a low level minor league team. I highly recommend it.

Happy Wednesday!

Top 5 Casino Games

I am in training all week and am not online very much. I am dying without the web. Actually, the classes are pretty good and there is so much going on. Well, tonight they are having a casino night for us. This is always a hit. We have not had it the last couple years but it is back! YESSSSSSSSS! They give us fake money and at the end of the night the more money you have the more chances you have of winning prizes. Anyway, this gave me the idea of the top 5 today - Casino games. Without further ado, here they are.

1. Paigow Poker - Great game if you are at a casino with friends. It is a slow game.
2. Blackjack - 22! Big winner! A couple people will get that sorry... Fun game but it is sometimes too fast for me.
3. Craps - You need a bankroll to keep up with this game but I usually do pretty will with it.
4. Poker tables - Not a no-limit buy-in game but the tables you can walk up to and sit for a while and then leave.
5. Video poker - They are usually at the bar and usually when you are playing, the drinks are free!

Back to class.........

P.S. Last night around midnight, the temp outside was 60. I heart the south from December to March.

P.S.S. I left off sports books because they are not a casino game really. However, if they were to be on the list, they would go number 2.

Top 5 - Worst College Mascots

Sorry I have been slow around these parts lately. I have been ridiculously busy at work. On a sidenote, Thanksgiving break was good including watching LU win a close one at home. Also, my goal of 150 workouts was made on the last day of November. Yess!!! I can take a whole month off! When thinking of bad college mascots, #1 was very easy to come up with.

1. Stanford Cardinal - Really? A tree that looks like 3 year olds decorated it. I expect more from this great University.



2. Wichita State - Your nickname is the Shockers. You have so much potential there in many ways BUT you decide with a Frankenstein figure called Wushock. BOOOOOOOOOOOO!



3. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers - The name is appropriate. I ran through the middle of campus and almost threw up. The hill that the entire campus is on is ridiculous. You somehow decide that your mascot is going to be a version of the Kool-Aid man after gastric bypass. (I stole this line from another blog because it is sooooo true!)



4. Akron Zips - Zippy the Kangaroo. Yes, a school in the middle of OHIO decided to have kangaroo as their mascot. Who knew Australia and Ohio had kangaroos in common.





5. Xavier University - A fellow jesuit univeristy. I didn't know that the cookie monster (Blue Bob at Xavier) is a Musketeer. He must be one hell of a shot.





I did not have the heart to put LU in this list but a wolf is a rambler???? On a sidenote, I think that Dartmouth may have my favorite mascot ever...Keggy the Keg. Wow.

Well, I hope you all have a great day/week.

Note: Lil' Smitty jarred my memory that St. Ignatius of Loyola raised two wolves. That is probably were Lou Wolf comes from. Still pretty weak...

Top 5 - Vic Mackey Style!

November 25, 2008 was an end of an era. The show that put FX on the map had its series finale. I can easily say that show was my favorite drama of all time and one of the best shows I have ever had the pleasure of watching. The Shield started on fx network when the network had basically nothing. Thanks to the popularity of the show, fx now has quite the number of shows including It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia! Plus, The Shield basically paved the way for shows like 24. Anyway, if you have never seen this show, shame on you. Shawn Ryan created it and many thought it was too extreme for cable. They were clearly wrong. I digress. Last night was the last episode and it was not a let down. In honor of the show, I am going to do five of my favorite people I loved to hate that were ever on the show.

1. Maura Vendrell - Shane's wife. She is a conniving woman. She forced a divide in the strike team and she was dumb enough to spend some of the Armenian money. I hate her. Hated.
2. Armadillo Quintero - This guy was smart and the most ruthless bad guy the show ever saw. His plot line was just amazing. He is known for burning his enemies to death. He is also responsible for the rape of a 12 year old girl who had offered to testify against him. He would mark his rape victims with a tattoo of a dove on their face. Vic gave him quite the beating with a law book after this happened.
3. Ben Gilroy - Gilroy was assistant chief and the true creator of the strike team with Vic at the helm. He was corrupt too though and was using his political influence to facilitate an illegal real estate scam. In the end, Vic forced Gilroy to run to Mexico where he ended up dying. He was always a pain in the side of the strike team.
4. Jon Kavanaugh - This character is IAD that came in to bring down the Strike team and more specifically Vic. Forrest Whitaker played the role perfectly. The character keep pushing and pushing and pushing until finally Lem broke down. He went on the run. Kavanaugh went too far and ended up in prison but the strike was never the same. Damn him!
5. Margos Dezerian- After the Armenians lost $2m, they sent their number one hit man after the robbers. Margos was known for chopping off people's feet after killing them. He was a strange and scary individual.

I am truly going to miss that show. Luckily, I have the first four seasons on DVD!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Top 5 - Leftovers,mmmm food.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought this idea was a very good one. Whether it was the glass of wine or not, I am not sure but Addison's mother came up with this idea last night. Nice work Jess! Anyway, this one is self explanatory so I am going to dig right in.

1. Thanksgiving plate - Re-creating the meal all over again. Hello! Who does not love that!
2. Lasagna - Am I the only person that thinks lasagna can be eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Am I the only person that thinks lasagna can be eaten cold or heated? I am getting hungry...
3. Pizza - The ultimate leftover food that you do not make. Lets say it is late at night and you are hungry. You order pizza. You eat and go to bed. You wake up and BAM! breakfast is waiting. Cold or warm. Great leftover.
4. Meatloaf - I am a big fan of meatloaf. The best is the next day you can make this into a meatloaf sandwhich or you can heat it back up.
5. Spaghetti - With years, I turning further away from pasta. However, I have to give credit to this meal. Add a little more sauce the next day and heat it up and it is like brand new!

Have a good wednesday!

Top 5 - American Holidays

Ok, as a little shout out to the holiday season that is rapidly approaching and veterans' day, I am doing my top 5 American holidays. I will allow a little leanency with the definition of American Holiday. I do not think St. Patrick's day is an American Holiday but I will allow it if you want to use it. According to the US government, here is the list of holidays. Without further ado...

1. Thanksgiving. This is not even close. It is a guaranteed 4 day weekend every year. It involves food and football. What more do you need? Really?
2. Christmas - I like the general atmosphere of Christmas. I usually take a few days off and make it a break from work. It is a good time of year.
3. Memorial Day - This is great especially for people in places that have seasons. This usually is the beginning of summer! YES! The weekend is filled with BBQs. Mmmmm, bbq.
4. 4th of July - Yeah America! Screw those brits! I am not a big firework guy but I love my bbqs and since this holiday is in the middle of summer, bbqs are plentiful.
5. New Year's - The beginning of the year. A clean slate. A day of good college football. It is a good day.

On a sidenote, I rolled a 516 last night. The team did not do too well. Also, I will blog about my golfing experience within the next could days.

Cheers and happy hump day!

Editor's notes: Jessica reminded me of something. If I would have wrote this blog between the ages of 5 and 18, Casimir Pulaski day would have made my list. All hail the Polish General! Also, Cletus' top 5 that includes sports days is a great twist on this list. MLB opening day...great...

Top 5 Liqour Drinks

I am having trouble here at Torrey Pines, well, focusing really. The view, the atmosphere, the peace, I need to soak it in now. Peace and quiet is coming to an alarming halt soon enough!

Anyway, here is my top 5 liquor drinks. These can be mixed drinks or anything on the rocks or neat. It can not be beer or shots. It is that simple. My biggest struggle is the order.

1. Makers on the rocks - the old standby. I can not drink too many of these(well, i pay the consequences if I do) but if I am meeting someone for a drink or two this is what I turn to. It is so smooth.
2. Jack and Diet Coke - What can I say? This is probably the most popular mixed drink in the US and there is a reason for that. They are good!
3. Lime Rickey - Funk showed me these recently and I can not get enough. I am a gin drinker so these are right up my alley.
4. Sugar free lemonade and Vodka - The summer drink! Aldi's lemonade is the perfect mixer for this. These are great for outdoor events.
5. Strawberry Daiquiri - Number 5 was hard but I have to give the nod to this blender drink. Such a sweet tasty drink.

A special shout out goes to White Russians (usually my holiday drink of choice) and gin martinis. Well, I hope you all have a great rest of the week.

Top 5 - Halloween with a twist

Okay, I am going to give you my top 5 halloween treats I received as a "kid" trick or treating. Then, I am going to completely embarrass myself and show you a few pictures of me dressed up for Halloween as a kid. I was very young in all of these. That is really my only defense.

1. Caramel popcorn ball - This thing was a heaven in a small round shape. I can still point out the house that gave these away! It was an older lady. It tasted soooo good.

2. Reese Peanut Butter Cups - There were a couple houses that gave you 2 or three of these individual treats. Ummm, peanut butter and chocolate.

3. A plastic bag filled with smarties, a blow pop and a couple pieces of bubble gum - This house put this in a zip lock bag but this was before zip lock and each one was twisted. Very thoughtful.

4. Milkyway/Baby Ruth combo - Any time I could score a couple different candy bars. I was excited. Back in the day I was not much of a Snickers guy. I have no idea what my problem was.

5. Whatchamacallit - These are only available in full size so it was a nice treat to get these puppies.

That is my 5. On to the embarrassing part. I called my mom yesterday with the challenge of finding me in 5 different outfits. On a short notice, she found four pictures in three different outfits. So, hopefully my AWESOME costumes will inspire you this Friday. No one can say I am not afraid to embarrass myself.

It is safe to say that I had the idea of Kung Fu Panda way before anyone else. I am also pretty sure they made me wear this so I could not eat the candy before I got home.



No. This is not really Superman (with shades?!?!?). It is me...I am not lying. FYI - Back right- the hobo - he has a blog you read. His issues with life started early...


The last costume is Mickey Mouse and I was barely 5 or shall I say the year is 1981! And mom - I know you wanted a daughter but that is no excuse for making me pose like that. Actually, I blame my father. Really? You ok-ed this?



Oh, and when was Craig heavy weight champion of the world?


Thanks Mom for finding those pictures so quickly...I think...

Top 5 - Comfort Food

Hmmmm, food. So this top 5 is pretty easy. What food do you go running to in a time of need? Actually, another way, what food do you also go find yourself going to, the ole standbys. Maybe these are foods that somehow afterwards put you in a better mood. I think everyone has the point. On to my top 5!

1. Loaded Nachos - Oh, my biggest weakness. I love them. They make me smile. They always hit the spot. How can you go wrong with Nachos? You can't!
2. A good burger, if possible, a Moody's burger - Moody's has it all. I feel better jut walking in that place. Their burger is the best and as soon as I take a bite, all is right with the world. Okay, maybe not but I do enjoy a good burger.
3. Pizza - I prefer chicago style but any pizza will do. It is just too good and I find myself craving it on the weekends a lot.
4. Ice Cream - I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream. It is true that I have run a couple blocks in between buildings in the middle of a BBQ trying to track down the ice cream truck. You know what. It was totally worth it!
5. Tater tots - Oh how I miss you. I can not wait until January 1 when this self-imposed potato ban is lifted and I eat a pound of tator tots!

A special shout out goes to chips and con queso and lasagna. Anything that involves melted cheese is OK in my book!

Happy hump day!

Top 5 - Music

This top 5 is a suggestion my Aunt Karen provided. What five artists/bands must be on your ipod. If you do not have an Ipod, pretend that someone gave you one for Christmas. What would be the five artists that you must put on there? This was a bit of a struggle for me because I love 80s music and 80s music is a lot of one hit wonders. Anyway, here is my 5.

1. George Strait - Or should I call him King George. He is my favorite country musician ever.
2. Brooks and Dunn - If George is #1 in my country rating, B&D is 1b. They are the greatest country duo of all time. This is not a discussion.
3. John Mellencamp - He has too many songs that I love. His greatest hits is a must.
4. Run DMC - Yes, this comes out of no where. They are my favorite rap group. I have been listening to the them for over 20 years. I could not imagine an ipod without some old school.
5. CCR - What can I say? I heart the Fogerty brothers. Green River is an awesome album.

A special shout out goes to Michael Jackson and Madonna - two icons of the 80s. Also, Metallica was another band that could have easily made the list.

Top 5 - Tailgates!

In honor of GACRT (great american college road trip), my top 5 this week is going to revolve around things I love about tailgates. On a sidenote, if you do not know what GACRT is, please email Sachs or Stone. Basically, 8 years ago, these two decided to pick a college game a year to attend. Basically, thier goal is to check out a different college campus/staidum each year. They are making their way through the big ten right now. This saturday, we are hitting up Indiana. I am excited about the event. Actually, I prefer the tailgate to the game. Here is my top 5.

1. The energy of the tailgate - I am an energy guy. I feed off energy. I love this about tailgates. Everone is excited about the upcoming game. People are decked out in costumes, sometimes, and if not, they are wearing their favorite sports teams clothes. It is 7 or 6 in the morning and people are hyped up. AWESOME! Lets be clear. This energy starts with your tailgate. The people you have at your tailgate make or break it.

2. Partying/Drinking in the AM - It feels like cheating. There is this giant party going on and it is 7 in the morning! How fun is that! It is like 2-a-days but in a GOOD way! YES!

3. Smell of the grill- The best part of this is that you don't necessarily have to be the one with the grill. There are so many people grilling that you can sit there and soak in that smell. Oh, so good. On a sidenote, this is where Wisconsin really brings it especially in baseball. Go to a Brewers game early to tailgate. They are pros. It is a great great time!

4. Tailgating games - Whether this is playing Euchre, bags, or that tailgate golf ball game. Tailgates are a fun time to play.

5. Being outside - Most every other time you get together with a big group of people, it is in a bar, or restuarant or at someone's house. You are inside. It is great getting together outside and enjoying the environment.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this top 5. I know I am going to enjoy the tailgate this saturday!

Cheers!

Top 5 Actors of All time

A few ground rules for this top 5. We are sticking to movies only, no tv stars. Also, we are talking about male only. This was hard enough. I am not throwing both sexes in there. Here is my top 5. The top 2 to me are above the rest.

1. Paul Newman - I love his movies. I love his style.
2. Clint Eastwood - The man with no name. Who makes a better western (not John Wayne)? No one. He is the star amongst stars.
3. Jack Nicholson - One who flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Shining, Chinatown, just to name a few. This guy was awesome. Not sure so about his movies today...
4a. DeNiro 4b. Pacino - It is hard for me to pick between the two. Both are so good and similar. I am putting them together. It is my top 5. I can do what I want!
5. Harrison Ford - He has been in too many of my favorites not to be included. Indiana Jones and Han Solo...come on. Even is later movies like Clear and Present Danger are good.

A little shout out goes to Robert Redford, Robert Duvall, Morgan Freedman, and the godfather - Marlon Brando.

Happy Wednesday!

Top 5 - Welcome to the Fall!

We are officially in the fall season. The weather is cooling down. Football is on every weekend. Baseball teams are in playoff hunts. Bowling season is back. Oktoberfest beer is flowing! This top 5 will be your 5 favorite things about the fall. (Here is a hint... a couple of mine are above).

1. Football begins! Now, I am not just talking about Denver Bronco football or even American football. I am also talking about Liverpool football! Really, sports are at their peak during these couple months with baseball playoffs and all the football games going on. What a great time!

2. Thanksgiving! It is no secret that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. My mom's side of the family gets together. It starts off with football in the morning. Stuffing our faces during the day and then playing cards. Great day. Not sure how much longer these Thanksgivings will last (I say under 5 years) but I will never forget them.

3. Oktoberfest beer! I am sorry. This is my favorite beer. Sam Adams Oktoberfest beer is great. I actually like most of the Oktoberfest beers that are out there this time of year.

4. TV show are back! Holy cow are shows back! I love it! This week especially, every night has been a plethora of new seasons. It is a good time to be a TV fan.

5. Pumpkin flavored items! Now, I make pumpkin shakes at home year around but what I am talking about is the options at the restuarants, fast food places, and ice cream shops. Yes, please...I will take two!

That is my list. What is yours?

Cheers!

Top 5 - Wedding Style

Due to the high volume of weddings we have attended in the last few weeks, I am listing my top 5 wedding drinks. This is different than a drink on a normal night. You have to pick something you want to go the whole night with that will not a) fill you up or b) knock you out. For example, I love to have a Makers on the rocks but there is no way that is what I drink at a wedding reception. I would have to mix it with something. Without further ado, here is my 5.

1. Gin and tonic. Actually, in my ideal world, this drink would be a gin and DIET tonic. I am a gin fan. This will become clear as you go through this list.

2. Gin Gimlet. I actually was just introduced to this. It is lime juice and gin, nothing else. It turns out to be a fantastic drink.

3. Whiskey and diet or bourbon and diet. If I had my choice, it would be Makers and diet but any whiskey or bourbon will do. The only downfall of these drinks is that they can pack a punch you do not see coming.

4. Light beer. In general, I stay away from beer because it fills me up and I want to be moving around on that dance floor! You can never go wrong with beer...well, ever.

5. So-co and diet. I still remember the first time someone showed me this drink. It was 1998 and it was my brother's wedding. Thank you Chuck! It tasted like a cherry coke. The only down fall is that when comsuming for than one or two (or 10), it can become a little sweet.

Cheers!

Top 5, with video!

Happy Wednesday to all! Today's top 5 is a little hard to explain. Sue gave the suggestion of top 5 exclamatory words (i.e. Never! or Ouch!). You get the point. I turned that into top5 words that you use most frequently (keeping it clean of course). What makes this one difficult is that you need people around you to tell you what they are because you do not even realize you are saying them. Without further ado, here are my five words in no particular order.

1. Horrible. I find I say this a lot especially when talking about sports.


2. What?!? Actually, it is more the wwhhhhaaaaat? If I am out having a good time and someone shocks me with information, you have 100% chance of hearing this.

3. Easy... Easy... This usually comes out when I am getting ripped on. So, I say this a lot.

4. Garbage. I did not realize I said this a lot until talking to some co-workers. Much like horrible this comes out a lot when talking about sports.

5. NICE!!! My cousin Bryan says this much more than I do but I have definitely picked it up.

Happy hump day!
