Well I'm sorry that I had to make you wait this long for such exclusive updates and stories of the events going on in my life.  It’s time for my first blog of 2010 and I have to make sure everyone knows that I wasn't kicked off by Jay Leno!

While taking a break from my daily reading of the dictionary, I stumbled across Elks movie review of Avatar and have to say, I strongly agree with his rating.  First of all, I would like to start by saying I enjoyed the comment from one Patrice Mullen.  People haven't really had the chance to enjoy his humor and so in my next blog, I will include the segment "Patrick – It Really Is A Way Of life".  I'm a huge movie guy like Elks and Avatar is something out of this world.  You'll have to see this movie in 3D ASAP because it's an experience that will soon be gone.  And if you’re waiting for it to come to the Wapella theatre, just hang on a bit, they’re starting to draw up the blueprints.

Well we just had All-Star break and it was a great little time with the boys.  Once I got over the fact of being dogged for another year from the All-Star game, I had a blast sharing some laughs and catching up with some of the guys.  It’s weird when you’re in different atmosphere how different someone is that you thought you already knew him.  Take for instance Rich "JeJhew" Clune.  I played two years with him and I just found out that he is funny.  I also found out Dwight King is an excellent talker and a terrible bowler.  Oh, and make sure no one tells Cluney I said he is funny.

I recently packed up my bags and jumped on the Blackberry bandwagon.  I'm still on the wire about cell phones because I know they are handy in emergencies and for when you go on road trips, but I'm scared for my life every time I go driving now.  I also think they take away from the way we interact with people; like when you’re having dinner and the person you’re talking to is texting.  It’s even weirder when they’re texting you!  Then again, that person wouldn't have come to dinner if they didn't respond to your text asking them to come for a bite.  I guess these points could be made with anything though; it really depends on the situation..... and not "The Situation" that Kolo (Kolomatis) is friends with in Jersey.

Well, that does it for this week’s entry!  I hope you enjoyed my topics of discussion and have the same sense of humor I have or else I can see people starting wonder why in the world I tell these ridiculous stories.  Have a great day and stick to your New Years resolutions!
