Book
"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" Jonathan Safran Foer I did not want to finish this book. I knew the ending I just wanted to have this story last as long as possible.. It is an emotional read for anyone who is lost someone close to them. This book streams out his consciousness so brilliantly that it is difficult to imagine someone as bright as this is.. The book is like 100 dollars (inside reference). I hope all of you will read this at some point so I can use the phrase heavy boots and have you understand it.. Enough gushing this book saddens me when I think about it but makes me appreciate what I have today.. 4 baldies out of 4
Weight.
I finally did it I am 249.5 this morning.. The death March continues at 10,000 steps at a time but it works.. The Veal is still very painful.
TV thoughts
The office is getting back on its legs again I thought the office closing last night was rock solid.. Lost is really pissing me off they are not going to show new shows until Feb.. Heroes has got me I love this show my kids tell me every morning Save the Cheerleader Save the World.. They may not be able to do math or arithmetic but they can all remember a good hook line..
Music
Beck is on the Pod today.. I love his mellow stuff..
NBA junk
SW sent me an article about Bynum from the lakers being traded for the ticket.. I would say that is insane but look what we traded Wally for..
Ohh forget Rashad Mcants.. Having seen how good Amare looks after two years Rashad might never be able to play the 2 again in his life.. Amare looks like he is 36 even though he is 24.. Speaking of the Suns have you seen Boris Diaw he has put on 60 lbs easy he looks horrible..
I love fantasy hoops.. (I am winning its early ..)
Vikings
I am going to the game which scares me since I think the Vikings have jumped the shark this year and everyone knows it.. They have no talent on offense.. You can't throw the ball when there are 11 defensive players with a yard of the line of scrimmage.. If the receivers can't get open and can't catch send the TE deep and throw it ou there it is better than watching kickers trade punts and field goals.. Ok my prediction.. I predict I will eat great food and drink before the game and I believe the vikings will bore the packers into submission.. 17-6 vikings.
Chuck--Heavy Boots Skip this section.
I will make this short but I feel better when I get this out of me.. So last night I am getting my hunting gear together for the Wisconsin opener.. So when Chuck died I pretty much got all of his hunting clothes since we pretty much the same size.. It is tough for me to even talk about hunting since with Chuck's busy schedule we never got to hang out like we use to so when the fall came I would look forward to "hunting" together. We would spend a couple hours driving in Chuck's vehicle discussing everything we had going on our lives.. With frequent stops on the fast food restaurants along the way.. If I could smell cheap cigs and whoppers it would take me there right now.. Well enough already last night I picked up one of Chuck's Old Crusty coats he always wore to just look at it and smell it in some twisted way it would take me back just for a little while.. I put on the coat.. Chuck had a 15lb shadow towards the end which made me laugh out loud.. Then my boots got heavy when I reached into the pocket and felt the candy he had planned to eat while he was "quietly" sitting in the woods.. Life can be taken away in the blink of an eye you never know when.. I dropped to the floor in my basement and laid there for awhile in a pool of sadness and memories.. Before I crawled into the fetal position and slept in a pool of tears, urine and blood (that was for you m5). I put the candy back in the pocket and will visit the clothes again next year.. I miss you brother..
