A month of excitement awaits...

Check it out!

Altus rocks

Airdrop

This Saturday, I'll be heading out to Altus, Oklahoma for a little over a month for C-17 airdrop training. If you have a question as to what airdrop is, check out this link and click on "Airdrop" on the right side. There are several videos along the bottom, all of which are worth watching. Should be a good time. The In Flight Refueling videos are pretty cool too (we do that as well).

Life in Kentucky...

Me and the sis going fishing.

"I'm tearing up a little,"

I told Lyndsey as we walked into Rupp Arena at about 10:15 Saturday morning to watch College GameDay on ESPN. "Good," she replied. "I didn't want to say anything, but I am too." It was somewhat of an emotional experience to go back to the place of our births and to have the opportunity to be a part of what could have been the most electric Rupp Arena atmosphere ever.

The Cats lost to #1 Florida but in a valiant effort. I was pretty negative on them as they fell behind by 14, but at the end of the game I was proud of the way they fought back. If they shoot threes half as well as they normally do, if the SEC's leading free throw shooter (Ramel Bradley) shoots a little better than 3-8 from the line, if we don't fall behind by 14 in the first place...the what-ifs could go on forever. I'm fairly confident that the Cats will finish strong, grab a good seed in the NCAA tourney, and have a legitimate shot at moving past the Sweet Sixteen.
As far as the trip goes, it was great going back to Kentucky. That state is full of just good people. Everywhere you go, good people. And it was a heck of a lot of fun spending Saturday night with 24,464 like-minded friends.

The last time

Florida came into Rupp Arena ranked #1, this happened:

More Kentucky propaganda

Counting down to the road trip to Lexington for the Florida game...

Also should be revisited:

Bear + trampoline. First saw this on Pardon the Interruption a few years back.

**Edit** Not joking, but as I'm sitting here watching PTI (as I do most evenings from 5:30 to 6), they show a preview of the bear trampoline video that they're going to show again in a few minutes. Great minds think alike...

Joe Namath is "struggll-ing"

This is too good not to be revisited.

Listen to Namath say the word "struggling." Then rewind it and listen again. It gets funnier every time. Joe's just a happy guy. He's just a happy guy.

Where I've been

Funny...

I saw this T-shirt on the Internet. Thought I'd pass it along.

Astronomical freak-out

This video is a little over six minutes long, but it's worth watching the whole thing. A little slow in the beginning, but wait until the bride-to-be walks in. This is happening a little over an hour before her wedding. I wonder if she went through with it, and if so, if the husband has seen this. "Shirley Temple???" Kudos to the camera girl, too. That's some persistence to keep the film rolling. Amazing.

**There is some language in the video; don't watch if you're easily offended.**
UPDATE: It's a fake!

A potential Commander-In-Chief

Sign her up for American Idol.

Brings a tear to the eye...

If you couldn't tell, the Cats are about to play. 14 minutes to tipoff...

UK is first class

Don't read if you care about the show "24" and aren't up to date

They nuked L.A.! They nuked L.A. I cannot believe that they nuked L.A. 4 hours into the day, and a nuclear bomb has gone off. What happens now? This has got to be the most intense season thus far. How do you have a season finale when a nuke goes off in episode 4?

On a side note, who else can't stand the Office Depot hand commercials? If you've seen them, you know what I'm talking about. What a bad ad campaign. Think "Thing" from The Addams Family helping customers at Office Depot. Yeah, that'll get 'em in the door.
