- Take a quick look at the edition pic in the top left corner. How many people have you thought about saying that to? For me over the years, too many...especially the haters, people on the outside, gossip talkers, drama queens and those who act like they know but it's only an act. I believe many of my friends also have a ton of folks they'd want to say this to as well. Right now I don't actually have anybody I want to actually say this to but I have a couple of friends (maybe more) who seem like this is something they apparently want to loudly proclaim to some haters out there so I thought I'd put it up here as the edition pic.
- Before I go on, I do want to note for myself here about a couple of struggles I've been dealing with recently. One, a couple of weeks ago I had let my guard down for a bit and once that happened somebody ended up violating a couple of my personal boundaries. I'm not gonna get into what happened here or who did it (quick note: I have no intention of putting anybody on blast about this because it was somebody who I'm pretty sure doesn't know me all that well who might not understand what they did that got to me & I'm taking a chance on giving them the benefit of the doubt here just in case) but I will say that it made me real uncomfortable when it happened and I have been figuratively kicking myself for letting it happen because I feel I could have done something to stop it from happening beforehand but didn't. The only reason I'm even saying anything about this at all is that while I was stressed about this some folks did notice that I was being nervous and "not myself" when I was around and I feel they deserve to know it had nothing to do with them. Two, around that same time I think I caught a bug because I got sick. I had some serious head & chest congestion (however, my sinuses weren't affected which was weird), major headaches and chills throughout my body. I only started feeling better last Thursday and even though I did go out last weekend I wasn't in top form as I was somewhat exhausted from fighting off whatever I had. It might be a couple more weeks before I'm back to normal but until then I'm gonna get as much rest as I can...physically as well as mentally...as I've got a big couple of weeks coming up here.
- As most folks know, my birthday is next week on the 9th. I did have some ideas for celebrating it but I've decided for now that the only things definitely in the gameplan this year are that I'm going over to one of my friend's homes to watch this year's Wrestlemania and that I'm doing the club portion of celebrating it on the Saturday night after my actual birthday (the 12th) at the Red Fox in Cuyahoga Falls. I might do an event page for the club in the next week or so but I haven't decided whether to do that just yet. As for anything else or any other ideas that might pop up, I'll play it by ear.
- Just a reminder that in a month and a half, the Corporation Reunion will take place in Columbus at the Schrock Tavern on May 17th. Once again, here is the promotional pic for it:
- It's hard to believe that this late in the NBA season and with a losing regular season record, the Cleveland Cavaliers are actually still in the playoff hunt. It is going to be one of those strange years where at least one team with a losing record will make the NBA playoffs. There's still seven games to go and they pretty much have to run the table to have a shot of getting in.
- Boy am I glad I didn't do a NCAA tournament bracket this year. There were so many upsets and surprises I don't think I would have gotten all that much right this year if I did do one. I probably would have had a better shot at winning a lottery jackpot than getting this year's brackets correct. Maybe next year...
- Like many people in Ohio, I have had enough of the snow and the cold and the deep freezes. It looks like warmer weather is coming but the good stuff's not coming fast enough, that being 70's and sunny. Once that comes, I'm gonna start doing my walks again around downtown Cuyahoga Falls and other places and hitting up whatever fairs and festivals are going on around here. I've also been working on setting up classes sponsored by The Crew to teach line dances that are done in the clubs including a class for the common dances, one for line dances the Crew has come up with and potentially more down the line. With the club thing and the Corporation reunion, it looks like it's going to be a hot 2014 for yours truly...with the potential to get hotter if I'm reading the tea leaves correctly.
- Song on Repeat: "I Wanna Be Down" by Brandy. This is a song that I really like to get down to when it's on. It's one of the few jams I know where I can comfortably do either dancing on my own or being with a hot chick if you know what I mean.
- Shoutouts: Cheryl, Melissa, Holly, Marcus D., Shane D., Griff, Micah, April K., Stan, Katie, Mary S., Stephen, Alan, Michelle W., Al, Cory, Patrick, Jim B., Kristin, Margie, Stacey, Fran, Aunt Sue, Mindy (congrats on your new baby boy), Tony C., Kevin N., Jay, Brandon, Ron, Dave, Pat M., Jenny K., Sean D., and Scotty.
That's it for this edition. Join me for the next edition where I will be jumping over the Grand Canyon with a fusion-powered pogo stick all while singing "Loser" by Beck...btw, April Fool's. Until next time, folks. Take care and God Bless.
