Men are morons!! At least no less than 98 % of them are, and I have the proof, flushing a toilet is literally a one step process, actually it is almost a half a step because you only have to push the lever down, it comes back up on its own, but the vast majority of men simply cannot accomplish this simplest of feats.
Now, there are many reasons for this, from shear and utter lack of focus, to the degree one would actually forget to finish the process, to complete lack of manners, or upbringing, or common courtesy, to my all-time favorite, pride of accomplishment.
Yes, I said pride of accomplishment. There are a great many boys, whom become young men, and/or college students, and then eventually fully grown men, that somehow believe this to be an accomplishment of which they should be proud, so proud as to make want to marvel, pay homage to, gaze upon, and ultimately leave behind their accomplishment for others to witness.
Fellas, you are morons for many more reasons than just this, and so far more unbelievable, but I figured we must start somewhere. The answer to tonight's question is simple, flush!! Please.
Thank you again for getting this far with me.

Lottery
If I were to win the lottery...
This is a chat that I have had with a few friends of late. I realize that to think about winning the lottery is probably not the most sensible retirement plan, but then again why not. The reality is, and it may sound strange, but what seems to have me thinking about this most is my desire to help those I care for. As I realized on my drive Sunday, even ten grand would be a help to most, and thus would be nice to do.
So here is my plan for when I win the lottery:

As I realized on my drive Sunday, even ten grand would be a help to most, and thus would be nice to do.
So here is my plan for when I win the lottery:
- My mother would be able to truly retire and would hire people to do everything for her
- My sisters would be very well taken care of, as well as my nieces and nephews, their children
- My dad would only have to keep his title as the Godfather of Alumni Gym if he chose to
- There are friends of mine from the West Coast to the East Coast that would get significant help, commiserate with their needs; Kevin and Ruhl less because they are hugely successful, Mikey and Sal more because they have worked hard enough in their lives, Sage would be covered quite a bit because there are no shortage of people to help him spend his money, and we would not let them know
- All those that have come to call me Uncle Rock would definitely have less to worry about. These are amazing kids that have been a great part of my life. They never fail to make me laugh and/or smile, especially when they help me drive their dads crazy!!
- Field turf and a small locker and office building to truly create the lacrosse compound for the Broncos. It would not take much to make this great.
Sage took me through how to set this up so everyone gets their piece of the pie without excessive taxation, so all we have to do now is win.
I realize I did not mention everyone, but you get the point.

Fatherhood
It may very well be true that there is a certain degree of social ineptitude on my part when it comes to those in my age bracket, give or take 20 years, but it has also always been true that old people and kids love me. The irony there is that with older people I am very patient and very kind, but I also tend to relate to them as kids to a certain extent, where kids, I have always found respond better if I treat them, and speak to them, as grown ups, or as grown up as possible.
When I was in college there was a little boy next door, 3 or 4 years old, that was yelled at, disciplined and almost unwanted when he was home. Then when I was asked to watch him we would do things together, like cooking, or cleaning. Simple stuff, and not really intense, but I would speak to him as if he were someone I could count on and give him little tasks to do, and we always enjoyed our time together.
I love kids, and I always have. Even the work I do with youth kids coaching goes well because the kids from 4 to 14 respond very well. Teaching skiing was the same way. I was terrified when I first taught skiing of the prospect of teaching kids, not because of the teaching part, but because of the immense responsibility of having six to eight kids to keep alive for two hours.
After I had been teaching for a few years I began to teach kids, everything from the "never evers" and "half pints" to the higher end semi privates for three to six hours of keeping them entertained, safe, warm, and learning, and not only did my students love it, but so did I.
I do not know that I could do the infant stage, as I still to this do have never changed a diaper, a record I would like not to break, but once they are mobile and starting to be a handful, that is the stuff I know I am good at. I also don't know about having a girl, as I would be very tempted to lock her in a closet, or shoot anyone that looked at her, or both, but I know that what my friends and family have always said is true, I would in fact make a good father.
Problem is, with as incredibly single as I am, and have been for some time, I doubt that Fatherhood is in my future at this point. Too bad really. Fatherhood is something that was always in the plan.

Why Not Write
Too much time spent on others combined with too little care about me.
Trying to focus more on what matters to me, but don't know how.
Need to start writing more often just to eat, sleep, breath.

2011 Bracket
I know this is lame, but can't help it. This is about all I have the brainpower to do right now.
If the MCLA tourney committee meets for more than 5 minutes tonight, four to say hello and 1 to agree, there is a problem. Their jobs got easy when SUNY Buffalo upset BC to grab the last AQ. That eliminated the debate over Utah or UCF because now neither one gets in. Here is what the answer should now be:

That eliminated the debate over Utah or UCF because now neither one gets in. Here is what the answer should now be:
- Michigan
- Colorado State
- BYU
- Chapman
- Arizona State
- Michigan State
- Colorado
- Texas
- Florida State
- Boston College
- Cal Poly
- Oregon
- UCSB
- SUNY Buffalo
- Minnesota Duluth
- Lindenwood
I call it like I see it. The only team outside of the top 10 that gets in other than an AQ is UCSB, which is funny because they actually deserve it this year. That gives the SLC 3 teams and the RMLC 3 teams. Utah is the odd team out...again.

No Way to Know
I walked into an office today that I was asked to visit and walked out with a sizable sponsorship for our team. The point? I am best one on one, or commanding a team. I am a reluctant leader, and a sensitive lover. I am giving and generous, not just to a fault, but to my own detriment. I am both right and left brained, apparently, because I can act, write, paint, and design bridges, build buildings and teach math.
I don't even get me, but am still trying. I am a geek, and a jock, an artist, and a scientist. An introverted extrovert, or an extroverted introvert. I can watch movies all day long or vedge out n front of a TV. I can get more done in an hour or a day than most people can in a month, and with all of this said, I am the least secure person I know.
If I won the lottery I would keep just enough to live modestly on( nice house, new Volvo XC to replace the one I have now and finally the Porsch Carrera that I have wanted forever, and almost bought when I lived in Europe, just to honor my Uncle Ed) and then I would divide the rest up between my mom, my three sisters and my nieces and nephews, plus the friends that have always been there for me. Whatever was left would go to cancer research.
If you are looking for a sugar daddy then you are right we are not a match, because I have taken care of everyone else all my life and left little for myself. Other than that all you can say is that you do not want to get to know me, or find out, because you don't KNOW me at all.
Text, phone, e-mail, that is no way to communicate let alone get to know someone. Touch, smell, feel, look, listen, breath...that is the only way...
