Bling Bling

Yes, I did forget to post last night but its not that big of a deal. I was out playing basketball with some buddies and then hanging out with my mom after she grilled me a delicious steak. I love her more and more each and everyday.

A lot went on today, as I pulled weeds for a little more than three hours, and then mowed our lawn. So I got to spend a lot of time outside in the nice weather before it got too humid. Mom and Pop left a little while ago to go to Cleveland to visit my sister, and Green Bay got their Super Bowl XLV rings. You know. The usual.

Now let me tell you a little something about these rings. These things are HUGE. They weigh a quarter of a pound, the G in the center contains 13 diamonds, one for each NFL title dating back to 1929, and surrounding the entire crown there are an additional 92 diamonds-one for each year the Packers have been in existence. Talk about Super Bowl swag.

Yes, I did make the picture of Aaron Rodgers ring my profile picture on Facebook and no I'm not afraid to admit it. It may or may not also be the background of the blog. Just a rumor. These things are absolutely sweet, and unlike Terrelle Pryor and some other Buckeyes from years past, I don't think that the Packers players will be selling them for tatoos and cars. I mean they shouldn't, and if something comes out that they did do such an atrocious thing, I will probably jump off a bridge or something. Because these things are definitely something that need to be cherished. FOREVER.

On this date in history, something else happened that I really wish I was old enough to remember. 17 years ago to the day, O.J. Simpson ran helplessly from the cops in his unforgettable white bronco after being suspected for the murder of his wife. Like I said, I wish I wasn't 2 years old when all of this was going on because I think remembering more of it would make for a great story down the road for my kids. It would be titled "Step One to Not Ruining Your Life" by O.J. Simpson. But then again that would probably insinuate that he learned a lesson from the whole shenanigan episode, and I am not sure if that's the case. I wander what he's up to these days.

The Reds open against the Blue Jays tonight, in some more interleague play. Then the Bronx Bombers come to town Monday through Wednesday, and I can happily say that I have purchased a ticket for Monday night. I'm very very excited for it, let's go Reds!

Have a good weekend everyone, I'm gonna stop talking now because I have nothing else to say. Peace.

Proud Buckeye and Sports Enthusiast,

Those People Who Mr. Goodell Call 'Officials'

Hmph. That about sums about the way I feel about the National Football League at the moment. So does the rest of America, or so it seems. I guess it is a good move on my part that I did not write this post last night around midnight after I saw this happen to my beloved Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. The fact that this blatantly awful call was on national television amplifies the situation more than people realize. Through the first three weeks of this NFL season, it is no secret that the gentlemen (and lady in one instance) that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hired to work this season until the regulars get their labor situation figured out with the owners of all 32 franchises in league are just embarrassing. These officials have consistently made bad call after bad call (just YouTube NFL replacement refs bad calls and you will be able to waste a solid amount of time at work or in class shaking your head) and I think we all were just sitting around and waiting f...

My First Legal Drinking Age Post

Hello everybody, and welcome to this, my first blog post as a legal American Drinker. As some of you know, my 21st birthday indeed was yesterday, and even though this was really the only thing I had to drink last night, I still had an awesome day. While I'm assuming all of you will shake your head at me about the Smirnoff Ice, let me explain myself first. I was able to switch shifts with some of my co-workers so I could have Wednesday (my birthday) off. As a result of this, I took advantage of being old enough to drink alcohol on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. I'm told I had a great time, and surely hope that was the case because of the state my body was in yesterday. The day was rough but I suppose that's how you are meant to felt on your 21st birthday. The reasoning for the Smirnoff Ice being one of a few drinks I had yesterday is this: as is tradition at 137 East Frambes Ave. (better known as the "Incinerator") anytime it is someone's birthday and/o...

Another Realization

As I finally have found some time to sit down and write a bit (work is simply sucking my summer away from me), I can't help but mention the man who in a way sort of inspired me to start this blog in the first place, Mark Titus. He, as I'm sure many of you know is the founder of Club Trillion (you can follow his blog if you want-I do) and has christened this week Nut Up or Shut Up Week because he is doing his best to post on his blog once a day. I mention this because since my own personal blog is called the "Daily Segs" one would figure that I would post on here every single day, and for a while I did do that. During spring quarter was when I began this little beauty and vowed to write every day. I have since gotten away from that for a number of reasons. The easiest one to blame it on is the fact that I'm working 40+ hours a week at a distribution center and after leaving there it is either really late or I am exhausted or both. But the main reason (it pains me t...
