ARE YOU PREPARED TO GET LUCKY?
2010 -
01.15
I’m preparing myself to live as authentically as possible in 2010. I’ve already been a victim of gangsta shit (robbery) and minor emotional distress – but I’ve heard that it’s at your personal breaking point where you gotta work harder than you ever thought possible to achieve your dreams…
Have you ever heard of the 10,000 Hour Rule?
It was made famous by this dude named Malcolm Gladwell who released an informative and dope book called Outliers. In it, he specifically alluded that the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing that specific task for a total of around 10,000 hours.
Sounds boring right ?
But what if you practiced without even knowing….like it was the very essence of who you were and you knew you just had to do it anywayz.
What if you were so passionate, 10 0000 Hours wouldn’t even be enough to satisfy your cravings for it?

Below is an actual letter written by “Marney” organizing a Thanksgiving Dinner. Yikes…..
From: Marney
As you all know a fabulous Thanksgiving Dinner does not make itself. I need to ask each of you to help by bringing something to complete the meal. I truly appreciate your offers to assist with the meal preparation.
Now, while I do have quite a sense of humor and joke around all the time, I COULD NOT BE MORE SERIOUS when I am providing you with your Thanksgiving instructions and orders. I am very particular, so please perform your task EXACTLY as I have requested and read your portion very carefully. If I ask you to bring your offering in a container that has a lid, bring your offering in a container WITH A LID, NOT ALUMINUM FOIL! If I ask you to bring a serving spoon for your dish, BRING A SERVING SPOON, NOT A SOUP SPOON! And please do not forget anything.
All food that is to be cooked should already be prepared, bring it hot and ready to serve, warm or room temp. These are your ONLY THREE options. Anything meant to be served cold should, of course, already be cold.
HJB—Dinner wine
The Mike Byron Family
1. Turnips in a casserole with a lid and a serving spoon. Please do not fill the casserole all the way up to the top, it gets too messy. I know this may come as a bit of a surprise to you, but most of us hate turnips so don’t feel like you a have to feed an army.
2. Two half gallons of ice cream, one must be VANILLA, I don’t care what the other one is. No store brands please. I did see an ad this morning for Hagan Daz Peppermint Bark Ice Cream, yum!! (no pressure here, though).
3. Toppings for the ice cream.
4. A case of bottled water, NOT gallons, any brand is ok.
The Bob Byron Family
1. Green beans or asparagus (not both) in a casserole with a lid and a serving spoon. If you are making the green beans, please prepare FOUR pounds, if you are making asparagus please prepare FIVE pounds. It is up to you how you wish to prepare them, no soupy sauces, no cheese (you know how Mike is), a light sprinkling of toasted nuts, or pancetta, or some EVOO would be a nice way to jazz them up.
2. A case of beer of your choice (I have Coors Light and Corona) or a bottle of clos du bois chardonnay (you will have to let me know which you will bring prior to 11/22).
The Lisa Byron Chesterford Family
1. Lisa as a married woman you are now required to contribute at the adult level. You can bring an hors d’ouvres. A few helpful hints/suggestions. Keep it very light, and non-filling, NO COCKTAIL SAUCE, no beans of any kind. I think your best bet would be a platter of fresh veggies and dip. Not a huge platter mind you (i.e., not the plastic platter from the supermarket).
The Michelle Bobble Family
1. Stuffing in a casserole with a serving spoon. Please make the stuffing sans meat.
2. 2.5-3 qts. of mashed squash in a casserole with a lid and serving spoon
3. Proscuitto pin wheel – please stick to the recipe, no need to bring a plate.
4. A pie knife
The June Davis Family
1. 15 LBS of mashed potatoes in a casserole with a serving spoon. Please do not use the over-size blue serving dish you used last year. Because you are making such a large batch you can do one of two things: put half the mash in a regulation size casserole with lid and put the other half in a plastic container and we can just replenish with that or use two regulation size casserole dishes with lids. Only one serving spoon is needed.
2. A bottle of clos du bois chardonnay
The Amy Misto Family (why do I even bother she will never read this)
1. A pumpkin pie in a pie dish (please use my silver palate recipe) no knife needed.
2. An apple pie in a pie dish, you can use your own recipe, no knife needed.
Looking forward to the 28th!!

YOU’RE A BEARDO
2010 -

I feel like the concept of a beard is relatively interesting. I myself have issues growing one. Personally, my ethnic heritage has made it difficult for me. Whenever I try, it seems to come in patchy. I’ve also yet to meet a girl who thinks they are hot/sexy. Which makes me ponder….what’s the point?
I mean, if you’re on a mission to create some sort of new style trend, I can grasp that concept.
The problem is that it looks like a lot of work. Just think how many minutes (hours?) it would take you to style your beard every morning….
I respect the level of dedication, but you look kind of retarded.
Although, there is something to be said for dudes that can pull them off!
However, I sometimes wonder…..what if you weren’t careful, and let your beard get “out of control”?
Looks like a giant BUSH.
But honestly, would you trust this man?

NO BUT SERIOUSLY

When I was a kid, I used to think that huge drum kits were the way to go. How could you go wrong with 4 kick drums!? Then, my first (and only) drum teacher let me in on a secret. Any drummer who spends that much time playing toms and cymbals is probably a pretentious self indulgent dick wad. His view was that really dope drummers only need a kick/snare/hi-hat to kill it.
Although I was skeptical at first, I realized in time that he was kinda right. Then for some reason, I began to find really big drums sets kind of comical.
Like this one:
Like, I’m pretty sure if the song has room for that many toms, it’s because the rest of the band stopped playing at some point because they got sick of the drummer doing fills. How do you even REACH the cymbals!?!?
And this guy just looks like a dick….
Plus, why would you wanna be in a band where it’s gonna take over an hour just to set up the DRUMS?
Don’t get me wrong - at some point I WILL record a self indulgent cheesy prog rock record for fun. My drum kit will probably look like the ones in the photo, and I will probably have over the top tom fills and ridiculous double kick patterns…..BUT IT WILL ALL BE A JOKE!

I don’t know about you….but this song could use more toms….(or cowbell)
