Friday Pick-me-up |

Bad news, it’s not even 10. Good news, it’s Friday! Only 7ish more hours until you can celebrate your short lived freedom. Whether you were crunching numbers or digging ditches, celebrate the fact that you made it through another grueling work week. At the end of the day, we’re all just doing one thing anyway…

Look, no one said we were going to be able to get back into the swing of things easily. Yeah, we missed a week. Yeah, it’s my fault. Hand up, my bad. I’m man enough to admit when I’ve messed up. But I’m making it up to you. We’ve got ourselves a neat little feature planned coming up and I think it will make up for my inability to find internet last week (I was moving, so it’s not really my fault, but I’ll take the blame anyway because I’m not here to make excuses even though there wasn’t much I could do). So hold on tight for that. Not sure when it’s going to drop. Maybe today, maybe this weekend. All I know is I can’t stop laughing to myself when I think of the idea. Maybe that’s because I’m dumb and I think poop jokes are funny. Who knows? I don’t. That’s for damn sure.

Anyway, it’s the last day of Summer. That really bums me out if I’m being honest. I’m going to have to soak it up and eat/drink on a patio somewhere today to bid my favorite season farewell. I don’t really know where the time went. It was fun. It was short. It was hard to remember…just like most things in life that we enjoy. I hope you all go out and make the most of this last day of Summer. Go ahead and jump in the lake. Don’t pay attention to the water temperature. That’s what losers do. Just jump in and enjoy it. There’s no time for second guessing as the clock winds down on Summer and jumps into Fall.

Speaking of jumping into Fall, the only thing that I can even look forward to is football. Thank God for that. If we didn’t have football, I think I’d hate Fall more than Winter. Not even kidding. Fall is just a reminder that Winter is coming and Summer is dead. Nothing good about that if you take football out of the equation. So I will do my best to celebrate each weekend to the fullest and enjoy my favorite sport while it’s here for the next few months. I encourage you all to go down to a random tailgate with a fifth of your favorite alcohol and have a time. Make some friends. Talk some tractor about the opposing team (even if you aren’t a fan of either team, it’s a better choice to side with the home fans). Just have a time.

As far as my plans go, I’ll be kicking the season off in classic fashion at a cider mill, sneaking rum into my cider. Follow that up with some afternoon college football action that spills into the night and you’ve got a nice little Saturday lined up. Then just to add an exclamation point to the weekend, I’ll be taking my talents to the Lions tailgate scene on Sunday to drink myself into believing that they have a chance against the Patriots in a nationally televised game (I like the Lions 45-44 for the record). So I’ll see you guys down there to drink some Kool-Aid and cheer on Matt Stafford and the boys.

So no matter what you do, have a good time doing it. Life is too short to not have fun. I love you all.

PS – I wanted to get a tribute out to Mac Miller last week, but the lack of internet really messed things up. Huge loss in the music world. I’m not one to get upset about celebs dying (especially when they’re doing dumb shit) but this one sucked. You add that to the fact that we Burt Reynolds in the same week and you’ve got yourself a shitty time.

Also, unrelated to Mac, the Carter V got teased really heavily last night and at the time that I’m writing this (6:30 am…not a big deal) we still don’t have it. I’m not pleased. I guess this is Lil’ Wayne’s version of Detox (I hope I’m wrong).

First up, a beauty from Mac.
