Wish me luck!!!

I will be on hiatus from exposedandnaked for a week or so, unless those crazy Europeans have Wifi spots all around the countryside. I leave tomorrow night on Delta for England, and they better have a crap load of whiskey airplane bottles on board or I'm gonna get unruly. Sunday morning I'll be competing in the 2010 Toughguy Competition in 30-something degree weather. I'll be cold, wet, tired, muddy, thirsty, angry and did I mention cold, all the while sporting a Superman costume. I, of course, won't win, but no one will have a Superman jumpsuit on that creates a "situation" around the private area that no one wants to see...trust me on that. If I don't get arrested, it's gonna be really funny. Wish me luck!

Hormones are such a buzzkill...

After an afternoon of shopping with the kids, a few "failed" wardrobe attempts, or as I called them "malfunctions," Sugar Bear, as I call her, was photographed storming off with the kids. I can't be more supportive than I've been. It just seems that everytime I try to compliment her these days, it always backfires. I'll tell you this, a powerhouse of muscle and fitness like this can find love by accident at a funeral. Who supported her when she stood in front of the mirror pinching her baby weight for hours before the last Victoria's Secret Fashion Show? Who told her to own the catwalk? Who lied through his pearly white teeth when he told her that the German language was the most romantic of them all? Well Heidi, when this ship, this steel ship sails, it's over baby. Chew on this fraulein, "If only...those must be the two saddest words in the world.”

The human body is capable of enduring unthinkable levels of pain and suffering. Few people push themselves to these limits. I've had the pleasure of knowing several people in the US Special Forces, both in the SEALs and in Delta. Those that know these people, know they're different. Things that make them tick aren't even found in normal people. They see life in a completely different way. In that way, failure is never an option. Never. After several tours in Iraq with Seal team 5, David Goggins devotes his free time, which isn't much, (sleeps no more than 3 hours a night), to running and raising money for fallen Special Forces heros and their families. I've spent the last hour reading about this amazing athlete/hero and I've never seen anything like him. He's a true inspiration and makes me proud to be part of America and even more proud that people like this are defending her. God Speed David Goggins!

How You Say Merry Christmas @ DMX's House...

Rat-a-tat-tat. Nothing screams fun family holidays like AK-47 ice cubes. I picture Christmas dinner at DMX's house with all the adult gangstas at the big table using AK-47 ice cubes, while the children sit at the "kids table" getting only the 9mm cubes. Sucks being a kid, but really cool to be a rapper's kid.

My million dollar television...

So if you were to enter the Delorian and utilize the flux capacitor to take us back three years, you would find me wandering the mecca of dorkdom which is Best Buy looking for a way to spend 5 thousand dollars. The sad part of spending that kind of money on a television is you realize that after buying it, you have to watch an amazing amount of television in order to not feel cheated. So, it's a double whammy:
1. I just gave myself another excuse to skip the gym and waste hours of my life watching the tube.
2. I spent 5 grand on something that has literally 9,000,000 electronic parts.
How do I know this you ask? Well over the course of the last few months, I began to notice the colors changing. Shows that were once vivd and alive were now morphing into Shrek marathons as everything had a yellowish green hue. It apparently had been happening so gradually and so long that I didn't even notice the changes; however, every guest that comes to the house can't wait to point out my misfortune. After doing some research on the Sony SXRD 60" TV, I discovered that all of these particular TV's were having problems with the optical block. So many in fact, that there is an active class action lawsuit and Sony is replacing them all for no charge. Unfortunately for me, I had already replaced the bulb for no reason...250.00...bend me over again. The repair guy came over and had my TV in 2000 pieces within 45 minutes. I was convinced that without divine intervention, it would never be put back together. I was wrong. He turned the TV back on and the color was brilliant! Except now every word or ticker or scoreboard is crooked. Noticeably crooked. So, he has to come back and replace another optical block. Lucky for me, he's on vacation for two weeks. These are the days of my life...
