Tournament

I think my blog sucks. Yep. Pretty sure it does. I spent the better part of lunch trying to figure out what in the world I am doing and the only things I realized was that
1. Chinese food is getting harder and harder to digest
2. I am officially incompetent with a computer
I have been trying to convince Heather to buy a Mac buts lets be honest, that would be like giving a three year old a 12 gauge and saying have fun. Nothing good can come from it. I should only be trusted with one of the old apple computers that we got to use in Elementary school. I was so skilled at Number Munchers and the Oregon Trail. I only died of cholera once and when it came to hunting down the deer, I was a dead eye. But now with things like "digital cameras" and "hard drives" and "power buttons" I am lost. This morning I turned on my computer and the screen was still black. "Whats going on" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "My computer broke" I screamed out to our IT lady named Vicki. When I realized that I just had not pressed the power button on the monitor I faked that a cable was unplugged and that I had figured it out. Where is a number muncher when I need one? Sorry about the name calling Vicki.
I really don't plan on posting twice everyday but since this is still a new thing that I am getting a hold of I figure I will post whenever the heck I feel like it and you can't do anything to stop me so stop yelling.
I am really excited for this years NCAA tourney. To me up to this point it has been somewhat of a yawn fest I will admit. Nothing like last years when every game seemed close and the top seeds weren't necessarily rolling through. The women's tourney started looking pretty good to me the other night as i was watching Kansas score 1,395 points in their opening round game. And for to anyone who knows me, that is definitely saying something considering I consider ladies basketball one step above getting my appendix removed on Christmas Day. (which did happen and to be honest, thinking it over, I would do it again to avoid watching women's basketball) However tonight the sweet sixteen starts and I can't wait. Deep down I am little bitter in that I am a Ute fan and i still get emotionally and physically sick when it comes down to their trip in the late nineties to the championship game. Up by ten late in the second half against Kentucky and then Scott Padgett decides he was a player and starts hitting threes from his moms house in Palooka. (That's really far away) He later played for the Jazz for about 5 minutes and every time of the three times he played I booed. Punk.

I honor of the team I am rooting for that is still in the tourney and for my brother-in-law Mark "the tarheel" Tolman, I wanted to show a tribute to the man-child Tyler Hansborough who was the victim of the cheap shot of the year. In fact, since I am a huge fan of absolutely useless polls, we will take a one:

who is the real man here?

I'll give you a hint, its not the one starting to cry and also not the one with a freaky looking Greg Paulos looking bewildered behind him. I actually used to like Duke. But now lets be honest, whats the point. Not only do they suck, but Shire looks like his dog just got shot in front on him on his birthday. Of course I would probably have crawled up in the fetal position asking for someone to kill me if I had taken a shot that bloodied my up like that. But for the sake of my argument, let's just continue to call him the pansy that he is and leave it at that.

Go Heels and have a great Thursday, Thursday, Thursday.

You truly amaze me with your ineptitude. Not really, but I bet my assistant manager 10 bucks that I could use the word "ineptitude" five times this morning without refering to basketball, BYU, or any of my employees. (That would be way too easy). Oooooh! Just noticed that I can use html here, so...
OK so it didn't work but it was going to be a really funny pic of a little kid putting a butter knife in a light socket.
This goes a long way towards explaining why you are my younger brother by almost 7 years, yet you are losing your hair faster than me. HAHAHAHAHA
PS Im moving home to help you. Help ME help YOU.

It is rather funny that Matt is advising Tim. Matt's picture is in the dictionary under "eternal teenager". And the fact of the matter is the father of these two (being me) has the best bunch of hair you could find...as is extremely handsome.

Its not about the amount of hair you have....its how you use it....like a sweet combover.

dude, Basketball @ its finest. I had 3 out of the 4 final four teams. If Carolina would have gutted it out instead of choking, I would have been gold. At least the team I hated the most lost and that is Georgetown. I don't like any ewing and I dont like any john thompson. By the way my final is set. Go Gators. (Horford or however you spell his name) is going to eat that 45 year old man Oden(or however you spell his name)for lunch. 20 minutes tonight by greg is just not going to get it done. He has to play 35+ or they(Ohio State) are going to get slaughtered. It is kind of weird to see a rematch of the national championship game replayed on the basketball court. Especially since these two school are football schools first and foremost.

I am with you Ben. They sould perform some sort of age scan (sounds like something out of a bad Star Trek episode) on Oden. He looks like an old Robert Parrish and that is saying something because Parrish never looked young. Go Gators!
