Wussy

It is 49 degrees outside right now and I am freezing. Too cold to smoke. Too cold to go to my car to run errands over lunch. Wearing a sweater.

So, I am going to the Big 12 Championship game in KC this weekend...the high temp on Saturday is 35 degrees. The game is at night. It will probably be about 20 degrees by then.

If I can't survive 49 degrees, what am I going to do in 20 degrees? When did I become such a wuss?

Dylan's New Tattoo


Thank god the old one is gone!!!

In my next life

I want to come back as an Ethopian person living in America. My buddy Fasil at work is the former Ethopian national lightweight boxing champion. He is famous in his home country. This, added on to the fact that Ethopians can apparently scan a crowd and pick out their fellow countrymen from about 500 yards, means that whenever I travel with Fasil, we make friends. And by friends, I mean that we get free stuff. Hotel upgrades, free ice cream at the airport, taxi rides...the whole shebang. The free stuff is nice, don't get me wrong, but that isn't actually why I want to be Ethopian. Mostly it's just a really nice and interesting thing how there is such a community among a pretty small group of people, even when they are all spread out. Fasil never feels alone when he travels, as there is always "family" nearby. And free ice cream.

Back by popular demand

Ok fine. Popular demand means that 2 people said that if I wrote more on the blog that they would read it. Either way, we are all tired of looking at the Birmingham teeth comments.

So, Oehmdoggy is back!
