This is more my style...

Excerpt from Bill Simmons' article today

"By the way, I have the Brian Westbrook story to top all Brian Westbrook stories: I know a high roller who's in a $100,000-per-person fantasy league -- $600K for first place, $300K for second place, $100K for third -- and got knocked out of last week's semifinals by five points. He had Westbrook. I defy anyone to top this story."

Holy cow! How insane is that?!

Well I'm going through my quarter-life crisis and I don't have enough money to properly celebrate that with a Lexus or even a plasma hdtv. So I'm just going to have to cheer myself up with other things. Here are some things that made me smile as I turned 25!

These are the brothers that I've been recently spending alot of time with. I'm starting to question whether or not I should be admitting this or not. But it is what it is.

And then there's Andrew...words can't even describe (i'm sure molargirl agrees, but in a different way. lol)

And then of course, they keep my mind sharp, can't forget about my "favorites"

And who keeps me grounded...(thanks i love the shirt, oh-jing-uh, & gummies and will love the belt)

Now to cap it all off. I know all of you guys watched the Britney Spears disaster on the MTV VMA's on Sunday and/or saw it on tmz, perez, thesuperficial, wwtdd, etc...Now, I have mixed emotions on how i feel about how i feel when I see those "trainwrecks" happen before me. You know that awkward, uncomfortable feeling where you want to change the channel but you can't. Well for those of you who know me, I enjoy putting people into those situations and as i was going through all my old postings pondering the meaning of life, I saw this and i had the same exact feelings I had when watching the Britney Spears performance. So with this I want to wish you all a very Happy Birthday from/to me.

long over due...

i'll try to start posting again. in the mean time, here's some sappy g-life stuff.

   Just got back from Central New York to celebrate Jeff and Cat Vandermeulen's Wedding. It was awesome. Very small and intimate but tons of fun with close friends and loving family. There was no doubt all the annoying travel would be well worth it (for those who don't know, my out going flight got cancelled which caused other logistical issues such as missing my ride and having to rent a car, etc...) but once at Colgate, it was pure bliss. Being back on campus and strolling downtown was great. And then once I joined all the old faces, it was game over. Well whatever...here are some pixes.

To start us all off, its not a picture of the campus or of the wedding couple...it's a picture from SLICES. Sheila's all time favorite pizza and wings place. We stopped by to get a slice before the rehearsal. It was just as glorious as we remember

At the rehearsal dinner when Jeff presented us with our groomsmen gifts: A liquor pump, Divot Tool/Money Clip, and Brother Wilson

Out on the 18th green after dinner

Later that night at Nichols & Beal...singing some classic tunes (Jesse's Girl) and Sheila being Sheila

And showing our athletic prowess, Jesse and I held court with an undefeated 6-0 record!

Let the short jokes begin...
