Yet another movie review.

I went to see yet another movie last night. This time I went to see Pans Labyrinth written and directed by Guillermo Del Torro. I have been anticipating this movie for a long time (Internet geek hype) and though I thought I knew what too expect I was very surprised by this movie. For one this is one of the most violent films of the year. Not for children. Two I thought this was going to be a fantasy film but really it is not. The movie shows how children cope with the stress differently than adults, through there imagination. This film is fun to look at and the story is very good. Just a quick note that this movie is in subtitles so beware but I don't mind that at all and enjoyed this movie a lot.

I had heard a lot about this director before this movie came out about how he is as talented as they come. His first two movies Blade 2 and Hellboy were not really my type of movies. However, he was able to showcase his talents with this picture. Del Torro along with other Hispanic filmmakers Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu(Babel, 21 Grams, Amorres Perros) and Alfonso Cuaron (Y tu mama tambien, Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban, and Children of Men) Are three directors that are on fire right now. These guys are making thoughtful movies that don't rely on big explosions or big name actors to carry out great stories. All three of these guys are really talented and should be directors you should watch out for in the future.

Hump Day

I am going to be starting a new blog theme for every wednesday. I guess it could be my raging hormones or the fact that i have a great respect for gorgeous women. So every wednesday I will be posting a featured attraction if you will. I will try and make all pictures SFW.

Todays featured lady is the beautiful Emmanuelle Chriqui. She plays "E's" girlfriend in Entourage. Her film credits are minimal but this is the hottest canadian I have ever seen and she would have to get a leading role in any movie that I would do. Enjoy!!!

The Ex's

Ok I am starting this blog because I want some questions answered reguarding Ex's. I have had some messed up relationships with Ex gfs and I just want to get some other peoples take.

Is it possible to remain friends with an Ex and keep it as just that?

Can Ex Sex ever work? i.e both people get what they want out of it.

Best way to get over an Ex?

Can you get back together with an Ex and have things be better than they were when you first met?

Is it ok to talk about the Ex with your new bf/gf?

I guess my take on all of this is this usually if you dont leave on horrible terms your ex has a special place in your heart love or hate it. Can a friendship be possible maybe but only after all chance of a possible relationship is removed. If you think you still want to be with her then you cannot keep it as just friends. If you have moved on then yes I think you can be friends. Can you sex with an ex? Well I believe this as good as sex as you can have because it often is no strings attached and you know what the other person likes. However, I have found out that there is no such thing as no-strings attached sex. I am very interested to hear what people think because this is something that at some point relates to all of us and I wonder how people deal with the situation of an Ex.

Worst Bars

I will be taking a week off from the Friday Anecdote and instead giving a list of my ten least favorite bars.

#10 Windsor Street Bar and Grill: Yeah this place was pretty fun when it opened but now it is over run with thugged out gangsters and the Karaoke sucks ass!!!

#9 Cans: Sorry Mark I have actually had some good times in there but ever since I got blacklisted I just lost all respect for a bar that plays shitty music all fucking night.

#8 State Street Brats: This bar is just simply overrated. Every time I go in there it is packed and I just dont understand why. The only cool thing that has ever happened to me there was making out with a whale while I was standing in line. I promise you it went downhill from there.

#7 Cush: Ever since that cuban guy busted me up out front I have really hated that bar. Man I wish somebody would have grabbed that fucker.

#6 Mantra: A techno room, nuff said.

#5 Silver Fox: I admit for being on this list I go there quite often but the whole place blows. They can fix it up all they want and it will still be a place where the sixty and over crowd go to play cards.

#4 Arts Performing Center: As a bar and as a strip club this place should just be demolished. I have never had a good time there and I think it is because I cannot believe that I just paid to see this.

#3 Wegners: I can only say I have been there twice and I think it really had a change on my life. If you enjoy people watching this is the bar for you becuase it is the most trashy bar I have ever seen. Cheaters meets Jerry Springer.

#2 The Brothers Chain: I dont like any of these shitty bars especially the one in Milwaukee that didnt change there playlist for about 6 months. Geigle remeber when you got beat up there?

#1 The Marshall Pub: Oh how the mighty have fallen. My one time home base has been reduced to a couple of fat ugly bartenders and a bunch of one armed coked up losers shooting pool. Are you kidding me.

Another movie

I am sure most of you could give two shits about my movie reviews but I enjoy talking about movies I have just seen and it is my blog. First of all I would like to thank C$$ for taking me too a movie last night that was very big of him and I really enjoyed him sneaking in whiskey to mix with his 64 oz beverage. We went to see the highly proclaimed Babel and although I liked it the Director seemed to ambitious with this story as it doesnt come together nearly as well as his prior two movies, Amorres Perros and 21 Grams. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett are good but they are on screen for all of 45 minutes and I actually think in this case big named actors and actresses actually take away from the story. I think Pitt has actually gotten to a point where his stardom has far trumped his acting ability. He was strong in this role though. I think what I enjoyed most was the look of the film and a peak into some walks of life that you just do not see very often. My reccomendation is wait to rent it but in the meantime pick up Alejandro González Iñárritu's other two movies and see how talented this guy is. This is supposedly the last of a trilogy of this storyline so I will be interested to see where he goes from here.

Best Bars

I would like to point that I missed two bars that should have made my list. Thanks to one of my friends I would like to add a couple to my list without taking off any that are already on.

Gridiriron: How did I miss this. This is where my bar life truly started with a 3 wiseman an hour before my 21st birthday. Followed off by the stealing of a bottle of Dr. for a bday present. You add that with the all the side boob you see in there (Silver you know what I am talking about) and the Vodka Sparks and you have yourself one outstanding game day bar.

The Stadium: I will argue that this is the best game day bar in Madison. It has the girls, the booze, and the best fucking atmosphere in all of Madison. You compact that with the rush you get in there after a badger victory and the easy access to the urinals and you have something special. I cannot point out many moments that stick out right now and maybe somebody that has been there with me could, but that bar has made for a lot of rough sunday mornings.

A couple of movie updates......

I saw a couple of new movies and I thought i would share what I though. Rented the Illusionist and although I thought it had a kind of predictable ending and the movie was slow in parts. I really enjoyed this movie. Norton and Giamatti are two really good actors and should do more films like this. I definately give me reccomendation for a rental. The second movie I saw was Children of Men and I also really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was a very interesting idea for a movie and although I dont know if all of the plot lines were truly explained and the ending left me wanting more, this movie really provoked thought. Clive Owen is fast becoming one of my favorites with great roles in Closer, Sin City, and Inside Man. Go see this. This brings me to a question I went to this movie all by my lonesome the other night. What does everyone think about going to movies by themselves. I once thought it would be something I could never do but I think I am going to do it more now as it really was no big deal. Thoughts???

Best Bars

Like I have said before content of this blog is open to suggestions so today i give you the my top ten bars. Now a lot of these bars are on this list for something that may have happened one time. In any case I have had a good time at all of these bars.

#10 The Hide-A-Way: Located outside of quaint little Franklin Wi, this is a great bar for some whisky, darts, college age women, bad karaoke, and free shuttle rides by Franklin Police officers.

#9 The Kollege Klub: Now I know what people are thinking the KK is a bar for athletes and skanks, well you are right. But how many have you been to a bar where the Owner of the bar starts the chant "We are.......Marshall" and buys you a couple rounds whenever we tell him where we are from. Also good for the occasional "J" in the bathroom.

#8 The Corner Bar: Where it all started. My first real bar experience still packs in underage women. Claim to fame use the ATM and get a free shot. Has any tried the account balance receipt trick yet?

#7 Axels: I don't have a bunch of great memories of Axels but I know this much for two years there was not a weekend that went buy that I did not stop in the Ax for one.

#6 McGilicuddy's: Home of some of the finest women in all of Milwaukee. You never know what you will see there from girls showing the pierced nipples to Quita asking you to party in the hood. Almost always a good time.

#5 Buckheads: Another bar that I don't think a lot of people like but it is spacious and never seems to crowded and if you can talk them out of charging you the cover there are plenty of hunnies that are willing to shake it.

#4 The Deck at Prairie Lanes: Nothing better than having your own bottle of Canadian Club on a patio watching your boys play volleyball. Actually i don't think I caught one set all year but I had many a hang over Friday mornings from this hot spot.

#3 BBC's: Home to endless amounts of dart yielding fun. Mix that in with puking in there bathroom more times than I can count and you could call this my home base in college.

#2 Ghasthaus: Thanks to Big Irv! Nothing like going down for the NFL draft at 10 A.M. ordering a beer and a chef special and getting the biggest fucking breakfast burrito you have ever seen, on the house of course. I gave a lot to UWM but thanks to Irv I was able to take a lot back.

#1 Mondays: This will stay on top of the list even though it has been a while since I have been there (it has become every ones hot spot). Best drinks in Madison hands down. i would tell you a funny story of what has happened to me at Mondays but I don't remember anything.

Weekend

I had a good time this weekend. Friday was off the chain. Dustin you throw one hell of a bash and i wish I could have sealed the deal with that freshman. Oh well the night turned out well anyways. Dez, realized how much I missed your humor as you had me laughing all night. I have a feeling "Less Talk More Action" is going to lead me too some great things. It already had. Saturday, well sucked Marshall sucks. It was nice getting to bed early and sleeping in a bit. Sunday got a lot done on the pad and we are inching so close to drywall. The electrical is really being a bitch. Well I have a couple of top tens in mind for this week so stay tuned.

Friday Anecdote

I am going to take a break from the college visit theme for a while. I have a few more stories for sometime but I am going to my Milwaukee tonight for my brothers 20th bday and i thought I would share a story of the two of us.

When my broseph was in high school he would beg my parents to let him come down to party. Well we were having our annual holiday party and he I told him that he would not want to miss it. He decided to come down but he is tight ass so he didnt want to join us for dinner. Big Mistake. We had already purchased all of the booze before dinner so we could come back and get our drink on. My brother decided he would stay back and quench his thirst. Well by the time we made it back he was already feeling pretty good. I new he was new at drinking because of the variable smorgasboard of drinks I think he made a vodka and coke. Not really my drink of choice but it seemed to be working for him. He was a blast during the party making friends with every good looking girl there. The thing about my brother is he has no shame so he can talk to just about anyone. Well as the night went on I noticed that he was no where to be found so i decided to make a lap and see if he found some lucky lady. I got upstairs and saw that my door was shut. I thought perfect now he is banging on my bed too. I opened up the door and saw him lying in my bed under the covers with his head in a trash can puking his guts out. Well I brought my friends up for a photo session and some shit talking. I turned the lights out and went back downstairs. About an hour later i went to check on him and found my girlfriend at the time passed out on the floor in a pile of her vomit. Unfortunately she didnt make the can that my brother had used. I cleaned that up and went back down to party. When i came up again they were sleeping in my bed together. I never asked what went down because I am a sharing guy and it was his first time partying in college, hell I didnt care I wasnt about to try and get some in the puke smelling room. Needless to say it wasnt long before he was back with much of the same results. My plan is to get him like that tonight as well.

Pants? No thank you.

I realize that my weekend updates will be pretty lame as long as I am not drinking. One fun part about not drinking is being able to fuck with drunk people. Friday night we hit up some local Sun Prairie establisments and lets just say I now know why we havent been there before. It is a pretty rough crowd at the local saloons. It was a decent. Saturday was spent watching the Badgers finally beating those pricks from Evanston and then heading downtown. The Church Key was hopping unfortunately there were a lot of rodents there courtesy of our neighbors from the North. A girl I knew had a hotel room next to the Nitty that we proceeded to have an A-bar at which turned into a "No pants party". Needless to say the Papa Johns delivery guy was quite impressed. With my friend puking in the bathtub, Noel being his classic self, and my 20 minutes of sleep next two beautiful ladies all in all it was a good night. Sunday was a bummer as my dad was ready to work at 8 a.m. we did get a lot done however. Just a little side note being the sober guy at a no pants party is pretty weird because everyone was like "look at Browne he has his pants off and he isnt even drunk," that is true, but I was drunk with idea of getting naked and actually remembering what went down.

Friday Anecdote

Okay to stay with the college visit stories. I had heard some stories about Stout that were not that flattering saying it was the worst party school in the state. Fuck that noise the boys and girls that go to S-T-O-T know how to party. The second time I was up there I found this out first hand. My buddy Noel and I headed up there for homecoming. We stopped and picked up the essentials, a couple cases of beer and a bottle of the finest peppermint schnapps money could buy. My friend that went to school there was throwing a smut-n-eggs party saturday morning so we did not want to party to hard that evening. Well that plan went out the window five minutes after we arrived. Noel and got through the first case fast and that bottle was down to about nothing when we thought it was time to go downtown. We decided to walk which sucked ass becuase I swear it is 20 degrees colder up there. When we got to the bars they were hopping I mean hot ass ladies were everywhere. Noel and I bellied up and hit it hard, Noel even decided that he could not make it to the rest room so he had to piss all over the bar. This you probably know is a Noel trademark and usually my cue to ditch his ass. So it wasnt long before I was wondering the streets of menominee trying to find a cab. I stumbled into this school bus that was empty and a guy asked me politely where I would like to go. I did not remember the address or have any recollection of where I was so I just told him to drop me off at Tori Heins house. To my astonishment I woke up with the bus in her driveway. I got in went downstairs and passed out. i woke up with a horrible headache, to the screams of some dime taking it in the glory hole, covered in vomit. Now this I tell you was a sight for soar eyes. My friend came down and noticed that I fucked up her couch and asked me to clean it up so i gave er the old sweep-a-roo right under the couch, jumped in the shower and headed upstairs for a bloody. After about an hour and half of porn I was rocked and ready to go to the 1/4 barrell race. We had a makeshift team of mostly people I had met from the night before. There was no possible way we could win, but i was doing my damnedest. We were having a great time until some dude caught my buddy Noel dumping beer onto the frozen tundra. If you have ever been in a barrell race you no this is quite forbidden. He took a lot of shit for it and still does to this day. We ended up finishing second with an asterisk and headed back to my friends house to watch the Badger game. After Scott Starks recovored a Kyle Orton fumble for a touchdown we were charged up and ready to go. We headed downtown for some drinks and dancing. A girl in our party got so drunk she ran into the side of fan and fucked up her face bad. I ended up blacking out only to wake up with a girl making out with me while my friend Tori was taking pictures. I however, like a fool, just went back to bed (I actually forgot all about this until this year when i got the pic sent to me) The next day we headed back and although that 4 hour drive back sucked bad, S-T-O-T, remained a fucking awesome place to party.

Movie Question

I am always giving movie reviews and reccomendations of movies that I enjoyed. I havent seen a really good movie in a while even though I am keeping my fingers crossed for a couple that are should be coming out soon (The Painted Veil and Children of Men) Please everyone the reads this I want to hear of a movie that I must see and will love. Please post movie name with a brief overview. I like a wide arrange of movies so any reccomendation will be appreciated, unless it involves singing and dancing.

Weekend

My first weekend without boozing and I have to say it went pretty well. Except I realize now tht drinking really helped me get to sleep on weekends I think I was up past five on both nights. One thing that will really be difficult is going to be putting up with drunkeness when i am not drinking. I am not a patient person and you really need to be when you are the only sober person. Maybe I will not got out to the bars both nights of the weekend. I saw Jackass 2 definately worth a rent I thought it was really funny. Also watched Taladega Nights again and although I have been ripping it I thought it was much funnier the second time I watched it. It was a pretty good weekend on the plex we finished demo on the basement and we will be buying studs tonight. I am hoping to have the basemnet framed and insulated by the end of the weekend so we can hang drywall over the weekend. Also one a bid for my life size John Stockton poster for the sports bar. I am extremely happy about that. All in all a good quiet weekend. A Badger win :), a John Clay verbal :), a Duke loss :(, and Jets loss :( (although i am very happy with there season and Mangenious seems to have them headed in the right direction, fingers crossed for Marshawn Lynch and the Patriots not resigning Ashante Samuel). Now the problem becomes how do you get through a dull week when you cannot think about getting fucked up on the weekend?

The anecdote is back

People have been telling me that the only reason they come to this blog is to read funny stories of my childhood so if I want to continue to get people to read I guess I have to give the readers what they want. So every Friday I will again be telling stories that make me the person I am today. They will also have a theme to them. As all of you probably know I went to college in Milwaukee and I loved it there, but throughout my time there I frequently liked to visit other schools around wisky. So the first theme of the Friday Anecdote will be State School Adventures. The first story is about one of my best friends Jake Schaub's 21st birthday party. My buddy Aaron and I decided we would head up too Stevens Point to show Jake a good time. The thing about Jake's friends is the weren't used to partying with the likes of Aaron, and I so we new it would be a great time. I am not saying they did not like to party, but they had not witnessed the pure destruction and chaos that was often brought by the two of us. The night started with a party Jakes house. We decided that we should probably pick up some booze because Aaron at the time could not drink a beer. He decided to go with Fleischmans and I Old Thompsons. It was not long before our bottles were nearly gone and the happy birthday song was being sang to Jake. One of his chick friends made him a cake, how sweet, as soon as the song was over I proceeded to stick a couple of brats in the freshly frosted cake not making me a huge fan of the evening. This was heightened by the huge handful of cake I tossed at the birthday boy barely missing him, but getting caked all over there futon (Pun intended). I think Jakes roomies had scene enough of the house trashing so we decided to go to the bar. We caught a ride with two chicks and somehow aaron found himself in the trunk putting on what looked like a prom dress. After receiving plenty of dirty looks at the first bar I urged Aaron to take off the fucking dress so we didn't get beat up. He agreed that was probably a good idea and we decided to head to another bar, Bruisers. This was a favorite of the point crowd and I think Jake was wanting to get fucked up there for the first time. I was happy to oblige him and sat at the bar and proceeded to pound shot after shot. When the three wise men was ordered Jake did not think he was going to be able to take it down. He uttered to me, "i cant im going to fucking puke", to which I replied, "you will take these shots and then puke all over this fucking bar!" Jake agreed to take the shots to which he immediately ran outside to puke. I talked him into coming into the bar for a couple more shots, but they delivered the same results. This time he had enough and he left leaving aaron and I across down having to find our own way home. It did not take long for us attempt the long walk talking shit to everyone that passed us. If you know anything about Aaron and his 175 lb bald frame is that he is not a fighter making that walk home even more interesting. Many people got in our face only to realize that we were incredible drunk and to let us be. One of Jakes roommates saw us walking and picked us up and gave us a ride back to Jakes. This is when the night truly became interesting. The first order of business was getting the canoe we saw outside on top of the roof. As we attempted this feet I tripped and fell down the side of this slope and got covered in mud. To top it off Aaron, pissed at my lack of effort, threw the canoe down on top of me. I was pissed it was raining, I was muddy, and Aaron was giggling like a bitch. When I got inside I saw aaron standing in front of the fridge pillaging like some barbarian. I opened up the freezer and grabbed the first thing I saw, a frozen trout that Jake had caught, and smacked it right across aarons back. Aaron an a somewhat unorthodox move grabbed the milk from the fridge and poured it all over his own head. Yeah I dont understand either just accept the fact that aaron is an idiot. I wanted to show the birthday boy what kind of mess Aaron had made but he locked himself in his room. His girl was in town so he must of been getting his present. This displeased me greatly and I took another one of his presents, a shot glass that his brother got him, and threw against his door shattering it. I guess I wasn't really thinking that people usually don't wear shoes to bed and that could have been the worst idea I ever had. I lose memory at that point, but I woke up on the futon with my face in a pile a cake to a bunch of angry looks. Aaron encouraged me to get the fuck out of there so we didn't have to face the music. I was happy to oblige him and needless to say we didn't get an invite to Jakes 22nd birthday.

Top 10: Strip Club moments

During my last weekend of drinking for a while I decided to head to the strip club that resides just minutes from my house. The talent was quite exceptional for this joint, but money was thin and I made the conscience decision to sit back and watch while getting completely fucked up. Needless to say the rippers do not like this type of behavior and soon after I was being harassed to come up and spend some of my hard earned, actually borrowed, cash. I stumbled up sat down and watch as she "worked" for hers. I did not let her have a single dollar and lets just say this made her angry. She stole my hat and through it onstage. Throughout the whole next song I just sat there drunk and pissed while she worked my buddies over I again did not give her a single dollar. After the song she picked up my hat and saw sweat in it and commented on how sweating could be a direct correlation to be being chubby. This I thought was quite ironic. A stripper, a girl who gets paid to take her clothes off who undoubtedly has a coke problem and self-esteem issues, who was has made a career of being degraded by men, was poking fun of a perceived weight problem. Wow! This inspired my top 10 stripper moments.

#10 Telling a stripper that she was the women of my dreams and I would love to marry her. This is not really that funny until you realize that this was one of the ugliest strippers of all time. Maybe I thought she had hit rock bottom and was looking for someone to pick her up.

#9 Stealing drinks from a stripper on Xmas. This was not at a strip club, but she was nonetheless a stripper who was working the dance floor hard. Every time she got up from our table I would finish her drink only for her to buy a new one and for me to finish that. "C$$$ will make you jump, jump"

#8 The worst stripper of all-time asking me about how school was going as she paced back and forth on stage. The only time I have ever seen people all leave the stage when she came on. Unreal her go-to move was hold pole with left hand swing around one time. She was quick to point out that was her first night.

#7 Our group of buddies buying all of the raffle tickets to ensure a lapper only two have one ticket left. Jake, I love you man, but you should have never just given me that winning ticket. Turned out to be one of the best lappers this young boy has ever had.

#6 A kid in a candy store. Watching Ryan Powell blow all of his money on strippers and booze. I have never seen anyone have more fun at a strip club. I especially loved him puking all over the bar as we took a shot of tequila.

#5 Big John Gordon passed out at the urinal. I have never seen this before but my buddies dad had his head rested up against the wall cock in hand passed out at his sons bachelor party. Needless to say that was fun night.

#4 Two on one. Getting a lap dance with one of my best girl friends of all-time. I will leave her name out of this but it was amazing. Probably the closest I will ever be to the ever elusive threesome.

#3 Big Worms concussion. As you probably know it is a norm for strippers to rough up guys on stage. Well I have never seen them rough up someone off of the stage until I saw my buddy worm get pushed out of his chair only too hit his head on the table behind. Wow that was close to being a lawsuit.

#2 "Hey you in the pink" N.O.E.L.= Nibble on every lady. One of the funniest things I have ever seen as my buddy almost got the boot for a little nipple nibbling. I guess motor boating is not enough for you Noel you son of a bitch.

#1 "I am going to ask you guys to leave". Well the Body Shop is a classy place and I guess soliciting prostitution does not go over well there. I had won a lap dance playing the raffle, I think I have won more than I have bought, and my buddies talked me into asking this innocent little maiden how much "a little more would cost" needless to say it did not go over well. My only complaint was I was unable to enjoy the dance because I could see all of my buddies in the mirror to feet away from giggling like little bitches in anticipation of me asking.

Does anyone else dare to leave there favorite strip club moment.

Need Your Help

One of my New Years resolutions is to read ten books this year. That would be ten more than i read last year unless you count the school books. So I would like to compile a list of things to read for 07'. I plan on reading some of the classics that I missed out on in high school, but would like some newer stuff also. I enjoy fiction (suspense, science, murder mysteries), autobiographies, graphic novels, and non-fiction history type books. So far all I have on my list are some literary classics.

Autobiographies
Ben Franklin
Frederick Douglass

Fiction
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Heart of Darkness

Graphic Novel
300

I know this is a pretty weak list and before I start reading some of the books that I have already read i would like some new ones so please lend a hand and give me some good books that I may enjoy. I will pass on a review of each of these books when I finish. I think 300 will be my first one before the movie comes out. It is by Frank Miller the guy who wrote Sin City and directed Robo Cop.

07'

The new year is upon us and it started off with a pretty fun night. I almost got into a fight before I had my first drink on New Years so I new exactly what kind of night it was going to be. So Noel and I went on our NoDoz filled celebrity tour of Madison. Highlighted by me kissing Jason Chappells ass about how good of balla he is after I got down blasting him all day for being shitty. Also got the 411 on what Roy Boone is up to and from the looks of it just slayin the poon. I myself had a secret admirer on Sunday night. While standing outside of Brats this whale of a woman and I made eye contact and had ourselves a moment. The next thing I know she had her tongue down my throat and the sound of Noels giggles were all I could hear. Although we did not even say one word together I think I may be in love. It is true what they say the darker the berry the sweeter the juice. Probably the only girl I have kissed that weighs more than me, Aaron you may have bought me gyro just on principle. What a great win for the Badgers! Looks like they will be an early big ten favorite along with Michigan. Bielema did such a good job with this team. I wish the Michigan game would have came at the end of the year. Also thank you Boise Broncos for giving me the most exciting football game ever. By far the best finish i have seen are you kidding me a statue of liberty to win it all. Reason one million why we need a playoff. So yesterday was my first day of not drinking for 3 and half months. I have a feeling this will be as hard of thing as I have ever done. That first drink on the airplane out to Vegas is going to be delicious.
