Happy New Year

Normally the last Monday of the year I don't post anything new. I find something that I had previously posted or take the lazy way out and post pictures. Well, since last week I totally flaked and was under the weather. Here we are!

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Be nice to people and for the most part they will be nice to you. If not they are an asshole.
2. Congrats to Sean Riccio on finishing his card at the Wickendon pub.
3. This year I was into Christmas more than years past.
4. Twin Rivers is a pretty ghetto casino but their hotel is nice.
5. Chrissy welcome to the casino suspension list, 6 months will fly by.
6. Dave, congrats on the new rescue dog.
7. The older you get the more you realize naps are not a bad thing.
8. A few beers, a whole lotta laughs, with some friends is all you need when feeling down.
9. It's football square season.
10. Chicks at a strip club are automatically part of the show.
11. If Rhode Island is going to take bets then they should have more than 4 windows.
12. I am not sure who decided that Chinese food is a must for New Year's Eve but man that person was on to something.
13. Being 41 ain't so bad.
14. I still haven't quite figured out how to properly trim my beard without shaving it almost off.
15. My top 5 deserts - in no particular order - strawberry shortcake, Boston creme pie, Oreo cheese cake, apple pie and deep fried twinkies.
16. More bars should open on Christmas. Like any time after 4pm. Not early morning but as an escape to get away from in-laws.
17. Fantasy football is officially over.
18. Who is geared up for the Winter classic tomorrow? Hit me up if you aren't hung over and want to grab some lunch and watch.
19. Chrissy is still looking for a jobby job.
20. I'd like to thank anyone who has ever stopped by this random blog about nothing and useless rambling.

Here is to bigger and better things in 2019. Bigger game plans and execution. Pivots and exit strategies.

Let's all try to be nicer in 2019.

Gonna be quick

You guys have 10 shopping days left...till my birthday.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Totally normal to have someone just swap out your toilet for a comfort height toilet, right?
2. I had to buy a snake for a backed up drain in my kitchen. So if anyone is looking for one, hit me up.
3. I am probably the only person I know who is excited for Aquaman.
4. Congrats to Kung Fu Dave on the new job. UMass Lowell is lucky to have you.
5. Brothers bar in Hanover is a nice spot.
6. Chris Leaden has already received 6 orders for cheesecakes. Hit him up if you need one for the holidays.
7. The Macphails annual new years party is fast approaching.
8. Who wears vneck t-shirts?
9. Has anyone gotten the new ID yet? Why do I feel like there are many new hoops to jump through?
10. Blue cheese can really make or break your buffalo chicken experience.
11. It is always sad when you hear of someone taking their life. People always seem to have demons that they don't talk about.
12. I love butterscotch shots, it reminds me of Canada.
13. People are still quick to defend the Patriots even after 2 shitty games. Constructive criticism does not exist around here.
14. I plan to finally finish my card at wickendon pub on Saturday, December 29th.

2 weeks

There are only 2 weeks left to go shopping for Christmas.
I can't believe this year's almost over. Here is to hoping 2019 has less floods than 2018.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Colorado is nice. The people are nice. The weather is nice. The views are nice.
2. You have to crawl before you walk.
3. This was the first football Sunday I missed in God knows how long.
4. Almost 41 and still can not sleep in hotels.
5. Time zones and time travel are basically the same.
6. I don't know anything about drinking at high altitudes making you drunk faster. I experienced the exact opposite. Just drinking with no drunk in sight.
7. I could get on board with Sunday football being at 11 am though.
8. If Arizona is a dry heat then Colorado is a dry cold. Even though it was in the 20s you could easily get away with a sweatshirt.
9. There are "head shops" on every corner. That's what the locals call them. The one on Washington and Jacobs street is the best.
10. Happy Hour rules. Drink specials rock.
11. Fuck your bar if your stools have no backs.
12. Building codes, fire code and the Divinci codes all sound the fucking same after 3 1/2 hours.
13. The best part of travel is all the great food you can experience. The worst part of travel is just wanting a good home cooked meal.
14. Coors (I mean what animal drinks Coors Banquet on the regular anyway) and Coors light does not taste any better in the state of Colorado.
15. Once a month I feel like I experience going 2 steps forward and 3-5 steps back.
16. I don't mind Christmas shopping when there's drinking breaks involved.
17. Chris Leaden is taking orders for holiday cheese cakes, $35 a cake. Don't knock anyone's side hustle.
18. RWK heating and cooling are moving to Pembroke.
19. Cheddar cheese stuffed jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon on top of a burger may actually change your life. I know it did mine.
20. Looks like the Cape house is booked for July 6th through the 13th. See ya there.

Season of giving

We are into the home stretch. This year is almost over. Let us all try to get nicer to each other, give a little more (if you can afford too), and just try to end this thing on some positive vibes.

This is what I learned this weekend:

8. Are you ever too old to look forward to your birthday?
9. I am looking forward to Luther season 5 next month.
10. Why do jeans always fit better after a few wears?
11. Every year I say I am going to do better with my time management and every year it's a fail.
12. The older you get the more you realize what is and what isn't important.

Less than a month

And just like that Christmas is less than a month away. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

This is what I learned this weekend:

2. Have you been watching Escape from Dannemora? It's fucking insane.
3. Being sick on the weekend sucks.
4. Mike G is in India again.

6. If you go out for Black Friday to save $35 on a TV you are bat shit crazy.
7. We all have that one friend who gets drunk and goes over the line, right?
8. Some days I wish things would just slow down.
9. Trying to get into whiskey is an expensive hobby to pick up.
10. Not being able to find my winter shit is super annoying. I can't be buying another pair of gloves only one to find mine a week later.
11. Hopefully I can get a good turn out for the first annual "I'm getting drunk for Christmas" pub crawl. That way we can make it a yearly event for Toys for Tots.
12. Is there anything more annoying that a twitching eye ball?
13. I feel like Doritos are underrated now a days. Ever since they have come out with a million new flavors. Give me nacho cheese or cool ranch any day.

2. Fuck migraines!
3. It seems that everyone is looking for a new job.

6. Random drinking days are my favorite drinking days.
7. Who is on board with the 1st Annual I'm getting drunk for Christmas pub crawl on December 1st? Doing it for toys for tots.
8. People who feel the need to constantly tell you how cold it is deserve a punch to the junk.

11. Going to bars without televisions is weird to me.
12. Are cell phone batteries even designed to last more than a year?

This team was underrated the whole year but proved they were the best MLB team, when it mattered most.

See you at the parade Wednesday!

1. As you may know Tom Kelly's daughter, Lauren, is running the Boston Marathon. There is a meat raffle fund raiser this Saturday February 17th at the Boston Winery. If you could make it down and show some support that would be great.
2. Never ceases to amaze me when there is a line at Regina's at 4pm.
3. I think I may have been sleeping on the Fowler house all these years.
4. Joe Martell is alive and kicking. Working a ton but partying even harder.
5. The jalapeno burger from Porters is my new jam.
6. Wickendon pub March 10th? Anyone interested?
7. Airfare to Nashville is booked. Just gotta find a place in Louisville now.
8. Man hangry is such a thing.
9. People still get sucker punched?
10. Does anyone know someone who has actually won big $$ on a scratch ticket?
11. I am not a fan of veggie burgers. I think it's the quinoa that I didn't like.
12. Guess we are not going to Pearl Jam in Chicago.

Now what?

The super bowl is over. The Bruins and Celtics bandwagon is full. The Sox season is months away. Pretty much we are in sports purgatory.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. More people are into chili cook-offs than I realized.
2. Altered Carbon on Netflix is the shit.
3. $50 for 2 squares, half time buffet and beers from kick off till the game ends. Not too shabby.
4. How can you be a grown man with the fucking sniffles?
5. So far this year feels like 2 steps forward 3 steps back.
6. I have been craving some new ink.
7. Downtown Plymouth is great for bar hopping.
8. I don't think the balcony is for me.
9. I love the hype surrounding the Superbowl commercials.
10. Between Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime and every other streaming option it's going to start costing you more to subscribe than cable.
11. Planet fitness banning jump rope seems silly to me.
12. I had well over 30 squares. Not a sniff of a win.
13. The Macphails are getting new windows, furnace, central AC and insulation.
14. Tax season got people stressed the fuck out.
15. People acting like their mother died just because the Pats lost...come on.
16. Insomnia is a bitch, a real fucking bitch.

Give if you can

Tom Kellys daughter is running this year’s Boston Marathon, for the place where she works Journey Forward in Canton. This is a nonprofit organization which works with patients with severe disabilities and spinal cord injuries to achieve the most basic functions which we take for granted. All proceeds go to Journey Forward. Journey Forward is a member of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation Neuro Recovery network.

Any donation would be appreciated. Thank you.



It's less than a week away

I hope that you have your Superbowl plans seen up. I know Joe Martell is looking for a bomb ass time.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. People can be dicks for no good reason.
2. There is a fine line between being full and being a glutton.
3. Blisters is just the universe laughing at you trying to better yourself.
4. I still only drink hot coffee when I go to a diner.
5. If I don't get to the supermarket before 11 am on a Sunday, then most likely I ain't going. It's a crazy house in there.
6. People arguing Boot camp vs CrossFit is something.
7. John Brewer just casually on the evening news is such Brewer shit.
8. Anyone up for Pearl Jam in Chicago in August? Bueller?
9. Why don't they make dinner cereals? I mean breakfast for dinner is my jam.
10. At what age do kids really start following sports?
11. And at what age are you to old to go out for someones 21st birthday?
12. I highly recommend going out on a random weeknight, once every six months.
13. Who has an in for squares? You can never have too many.
14. Anyone looking for Bruins tickets April 8th? I got two. Last game of the season.

Onto the ship

The Pats are onto the Superbowl...again.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Nothing worse than neck pain.
2. The gout has taken another one.
3. The Bruins are on fire. Hotter than that chick you took home in 2003 with herpes.
4. If you are around next Friday, Feb 2nd. I have entered a chili contest at the Cabby Shack in Plymouth at 6pm.
5. Square season is upon us.
6. Don't forget Chrissy's Superbowl bash in 2 weeks. Party starts at 3 the games at 630. Bring booze, beers or a food item. This party is kid friendly, so pack up your Rugrats.
7. Plaza Azteka has pitchers of Margaritas, Mojitos and other boozy drinks. My kind of heaven.
8. Heard the UFC in Boston was a huge success.
9. You can't be uncle of the year if you don't show up.
10. So who is down for a karaoke night?
11. I still have 2 tickets to the derby if you know anyone interested.
12. January is by far the longest of months.
13. Speaking of January, how many of you are doing dry January?
14. Rumor has it, Jeffrey is going to the casino this Saturday night for his boys 21st.

Holiday

Who doesn't like a random Monday off for a holiday? I know I do. Even though I am working my ass off (well more like just at work but still).

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. Mother nature is legit drunk right? Bitch is like -5 then 65...ha ha suck my left titty.
2. The Fowler house is not a bad place to watch a game.
3. Jeffrey on 9 is still a thing.
4. Glad to see Mike Foley using Uber now a days.
5. Loud clapper/yeller guy is one of my all-time favorites at the bar.
6. Wendy's is not cheap, if you order anything other than the 4 for $4.
7. Who is against nooners? If you are then you probably hate fun.
8. I hope Dave's heat unit is all fixed and we can finally get this podcast off the ground.
9. It is funny the older you get the smaller your circle of friends get. Do you trust less or just not into the whole feeling out stage?
10. Chrissy is getting ready for his annual super bowl party. Like in the past just text him with what you should bring.
11. Congrats to Brades on the new jobby job. You know I live to celebrate things.
12. Still no date on the Wickendon pub but I think Chrissy is backing out.
13. I think Mike Foley was legit pissed that Chrissy and Jeffrey are mini celebrities at the Imperial Terrace (may also have been the fact he didn't know the bar was so much fun).
14. I get it, you work at Home Depot, no need to be a dick when I ask a question. Obviously I don't know the answer because if I did I wouldn't ask, fuckface.
15. Good to see Colin sneaking out for a few hours.
16. I have been watching the Killing on Netflix and it's pretty good. Lots of twists and turns.

Guess I'll go look up some shit online.

Are we having fun yet

You know you live in New England when Sunday morning it is -6 when you wake up and then Monday it is 25 degrees and you are legit happy and saying man it's not really cold out today.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. The Smiddawg is living his best life in Southie. Living with the flavor of the week.
2. Random trips to the casino are always fun.
3. This god damn flu is like a boomerang. Just when you think it's gone blam right back in your grill.
4. Anytime there is talk about this podcast something happens with Kung Fu Dave. Now that mother fucker has no heat.
5. Thirteen straight days below freezing. That's Alaska like.
6. Pats play on Saturday night. Who else is pumped?
7. Is it weird that I have never been to Disney? I mean I have been to Universal and to Sea World.
8. Everyone should know how to play Craps.
9. Seems like everyone's hot water heaters are going due to the weather.
10. Oh yeah still no battery.
11. It is always great to see people you haven't seen in a long time but shitty when it's for a wake/funeral.
12. I made brownies from scratch and not a box, now I feel like Ducan Hines himself.
13. People hate old school rap. I mean how can that be?
14. Have you seen the show on Netflix "The toys that made us". Man it makes you feel like a kid all over again.

Gotta run. Little busy at work.

New year

Ok, how many of you have said New Year New me?? Don't be shy raise your hand...little bit higher. Now take your hand and slap yourself.  The calander changed but this Tuesday is no different than last Tuesday.  If you want to make changes then do it, not because all of a sudden it is 2018 but because today you wanted too.

This is what I learned this weekend:
1. The weekend still starts on Thursdays.
2. I have some really great family and friends.
3. Forty doesn't feel old.
4. I have no idea what strain of the flu is thats going around but man it wiped me out for 3 days. Cold sweats are no good. Plus I am a whiney bitch when i'm sick.
5. Alba is good food.
6. Drunk angry Jeffrey is not a fun time at a bar.
7. Where we watching the Georgia game Monday?
8. Mark Welch is alive and kicking.
9. Apparently beards are just make up for men.
10. Speaking of beards I can not for the life of me trim mine the way I want it. Shave it all off and start anew.
11. Pretty sure Chrissy and Leaden were trying to figure out a weekend that they could make a run to the Wickendon Pub. Pretty sure that will happen before the end of the year.
12. Fuck soup but not those Campbells chunky max soup commercials.
13. Jeffrey is already planning his New Years eve for next year.
14. Great to see Tooma. Hope he makes it back up at some point.
15. Tooma pays $220 a week to stay at a hotel. I think thats fucking brilliant. $30 a night for them to clean your sheets, heat, hot water and cable. Seems like a steal to me.
16. The pickle shots recipe is out there and Chrissy is trying to master the right combo as we speak.

I didn't do any new yeas resolutions but I did promise myself I would be more patient this upcoming year.
