i swore i wouldn’t get into fantasy football this year. being a lions fan has given me a mass hatred of the sport altogether. yet, sam was able to talk me into it, and here i am… in one league and commissioner of another. just call me brett favre.
here are my draft results from sam’s league. overall, i feel “ok” about my team. i am really happy i was able to pick up chester taylor in the third to last round as a “insurance policy” for peterson.
ps - my strategy for team defense is totally “whoever the lions are playing.” which is the sole reason i picked atlanta.
i have a problem taking days off. don’t get me wrong, i do everything in my power to not be in the office two days a week, sometimes three if i work from a coffee shop. nevertheless, when i’m not in the office, my laptop is always with me. i can say fairly honestly that even on the two days i try and take “off” every week, i still do somewhere between two to four hours of work on those days. it’s not so much because i’m a workaholic, i just don’t see the point in waiting to get something done that will take me thirty minutes to do. if i see something in my email i can handle in a relatively short period of time… i’m going to do it.
today though, for at least a few hours, i am not going to be able to do that. i’m even going to turn my phone off i think, as mark, jason and i head out to the golf course.
i am absolutely, god-awful at golf. still, i realize two very important facts about the “sport”;
so long as we’re not driving around a cart, it can be really good exercise
it’s an investment in my future. i am sure that some day, i’ll have to meet people i work with or for on the golf course. i do not want to be whiffing on my drive when that day comes
mark has a little more talent and experience than jason and i, but i will be really surprised if i am not the worst person out there. thanks to my dad i have the tools to succeed, a nice set of clubs, a newer bag, and all the equipment i could need to be a decent golfer.
a decent golfer, ha! that’s the interesting thing about golf… all i want to be is “decent” at it. i don’t have crazy aspirations, i just want to go out there and not look like an idiot.
speaking of looking like an idiot, i will be taking my camera. i originally was not going to, but i decided just this morning that i would be remiss if i missed any high hilarity moments.
what do you think about golf?
i watched “death grip,” a cnn special investigation on the use of performance enhancing drugs in professional wrestling the other day. i’m not a huge wrestling fan, heck… i’m not even a small wrestling fan. i used to watch it a lot, so a lot of names are still familiar and i occasionally will stay on wrestling every once in a while when flipping through channels.
i was surprised, as i was watching it, to hear a vaguely guilt-ridden answer about steroid use from john cena. i’ve always been impressed by the guy, kind of like the next coming of “the rock.” in addition, while he is built, i never would have pegged him for a user. you know how you can just “tell” things about people sometimes? i just felt like he was an all around good guy.
well, it turns out that my surprise at the report wasn’t for naught.
i’m usually a huge fan of cnn… but i’m really upset at this absolute train-wreck of a job they tried to work on cena and the wwe. watch this video first… it’s the cnn cut, precisely what they put on the air…
now, the thorn in cnn’s side… wwe taped the interviews as well. here’s the uncut version
hi, how are you? my name is joshua white. son of an awesome God, husband to an amazing woman, pseudo-daddy to two cats and a dog. photographer and writer, my day job is as the video director at cedarcreek.tv in perrysburg, ohio. hopelessly addicted to great coffee and chinese food, which really makes my quest to lose 200 pounds a bit difficult at times.
