* What ever happened to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis? They had some real bangers. Miss that hardcore, true rap sound they had going. Kudos to also being the most inclusive, equitable, socially minded gangsta rappers of their generation.
* What's the top GYERO fundraiser these days? I mean the Cancer Bracket is the venerable old GOAT, or so we thought. But the Cancer Ride is right there, with the Chris Krentz Bourbon Extravaganza surging into the lead. Potentially.
* Crazy week. Have a shady *** "colleague" in the industry who occasionally throws me a lead, and I'll split him in on the commission. Turns out his wife's medical practice, with 100 extremely highly paid doctors, just very abruptly ditched their big insurance plan -- leaving them all scrambling to find a new one on their own. Enter yours truly. I basically had to stiff arm the guy and just say "dude, just give me a list of names and phone numbers and I'll take care of it." So yeah. I've made 100 completely cold calls this week, just smiling and dialing all day long. Dialing for dollars. And it's worked like magic. I literally haven't done this in 15 years, since I was slinging high interest mortgage scam loans right out of college. Been absolutely crushing it.
Been fun as hell, to be honest. Having to beg/borrow/steal/hustle your *** off for $$$ is good for the soul, imho.
* Picked up No Country For Old Men in a Little Free Library the other day while walking the pup. Didn't really need it. I've already got it somewhere. But I'll happily take it.
* Who has a better batting average?
Aristides Aquino
or
Me, looking for a good podcast?
I love true crime, or really anything with murder/sex, but cot damn. 99% of those are just some silly **** with 3 women sitting around giggling and telling stories about a murder story. GTFO here. If there's not some deep, gravel-voiced man leading the show, I'm out.
* You know what really didn't make sense about last year's finish? Cal did EXACTLY what we wanted him to. Added a star freshman. Loaded up in the transfer portal with star upperclassmen. Tons of shooting. High scoring offense. And it still led to a 1st round loss. Just makes no sense. Crossing my fingers and praying to hey-zeus that was a total fluke.
* Is there a Daimion Collins bandwagon yet? If so, I'm studying for my CDL and ready to get behind the wheel.
* First wedding ring lasted about 7 weeks. Literally have no clue how/where I lost it. Guess I'll buy one that fits more snugly next time.
* This board is something else, man. Every single thread that has even the slightest hint of social/political discussion very quickly devolves into a 14-page fight over which President (the current or the last) is the worst, and which party support pedophilia most fervently. Shew wee.
