Could you make that last quote the official slogan for your blog Coach?...
Could you throw the 'Texas Music Theater' out there again for us Coach? My 'The 5th Annual Lone Star Music Awards' entry has been so well received that I'm going back to TMT this week... Okay, the real reason that I'm returning to TMT for the 2nd time in 13 days is for my friend David's graduation party. The best part about the invite that I received to this party is that I DIDN'T tag him on facebook to my last post here, which referenced the Bobcats that are about to receive their diplomas. David's invite is also the ONLY invite that I've received to a graduation party from the current crop of Bobcats - AHEM...
Could you tell us about more stuff that you haven't been invited to Coach? This segues nicely into the pool party that I wasn't invited to on Sunday. I THREATENED to write about this because everyone knows that Alyssa isn't mentioned here enough, and I only decided to really write about it after I did some investigating. Okay, first off, this wasn't TECHNICALLY a pool "party" - also, I'm one hundred years old, and don't expect invites to everything that the cool kids are doing... However, when I asked Alyssa about this gathering that was documented on facebook, she said, "ask J.J." When I asked my friend and coworker J.J., he NATURALLY SAID, "ask Alyssa..." :) The fact that there were about another half-dozen people there makes it funny that these two specifically mentioned each other... And now when my friend Chelsea (who I don't believe was present??) asks about her little group being my favorites (remember, this bunch is about to graduate and leave San Marcos, America), I'll have to say yes... :)
Could you tell us one more story about these punks Coach, please? Oh, Alyssa also didn't invite me to a crawfish boil... Anyway, last night after my Spurs came back and broke the hearts of the Golden State Warriors in double overtime, I threw on my Manu Ginobili jersey and headed to Harper's to celebrate. At this point I need to thank my friend and coworker George for offering to pick up my tab (I accepted immediately)... Thanks George! So while we're now enjoying the atmosphere up at the Veranda, Alyssa and Chelsea start talking about which ONE superpower they would pick if they got to choose. Alyssa says that 'reading minds' would be her choice, and then Chelsea says the same thing. Okay, well Chelsea actually said that if she got to pick, she would use 'that wish' for TWO choices, and would then pick 'reading minds' and 'flying'... If the rules of wishing work like that, I'm not sure why Chelsea didn't just wish for EVERY superpower, but this was their game... :) ANYWAY, I thought that 'reading minds' was an interesting choice (of all the choices), and I guess that it's just based on my poker background and some of the jobs that I've held (including my current one). I watch people SO MUCH that I would almost have to go with some other superpower because I'm "reading people" so often that sometimes I'm pretty confident that I know exactly what they're thinking... If you had one superpower, what would it be??? (In case you're wondering, because Alyssa, Chelsea, and some of the crew that I'm about to mention will be graduating so soon and then dispersing, I'm trying to jam them into as many blog entries as possible before that occurs, because as we all know, they ARE my favorites)... ;)
Could you tell me what this is? Okay, so I'm at my station last weekend when a customer needs to transfer their drink. I naturally hold forth the 12-ounce plastic cup, at which point I'm asked, "what's this?" If you've been reading the blog for any length of time now, and know how honest I am, and can imagine one of those nights when I've dealt with some nonsense, then you already know what I said when I looked him straight in the eye and nonchalantly answered..., "A CUP..." (Yeah, I said it...) ;)
Could you tell me who does your hair? I think that this conversation actually took place right after that girl told me to "slow my roll" last weekend... I walk up on my manager and a customer who are engaged in a conversation as we're clearing out the bar. The customer tells my manager that the girl who does her hair has a husband that is going to be opening a new restaurant... My manager and I both start laughing because he is going to be opening a new restaurant and he has a wife who happens to be the person who does this customer's hair... :)
Could you tell us about sweatshirts? This is another story that I was going to write, chose not to, but then this customer came back to the bar on Sunday and brought it up... :) A few weeks ago, Jennifer came by my post approaching the Veranda wearing a sweatshirt (at this time, I did not know Jennifer). Now this was a WARM evening, and I commented that I was surprised that she was wearing the sweatshirt. Off she went, and when she came back down to my post much later in the evening, Jennifer was STILL wearing the sweatshirt. I said something like, "I can't believe that you're still wearing that..." Jennifer replied, "that hurts my feelings..." It was only after she returned to the bar on Sunday and brought up the fact that I was MEAN TO HER that I realized that Jennifer thought that I was commenting on her STYLE, and NOT THE FACT that I thought that she must have been baking in the sweatshirt... First of all, I don't have the right to comment on ANYONE'S style based on what I'm usually wearing... Secondly, maybe that 'reading minds' thing isn't such a bad idea after all... :)
Could you tell us about that ONE TIME that a Chi-O was sweet to you? "You're a refreshing face when we turn the corner..." -Gabby Contreras- (And that's how you get into the blog Gabby..., and thanks)... ;)
Could you end this with a story about ladybugs? My friend Courtney recently posted on facebook about how her daughter had opened a bag of 5,000 ladybugs in her living room (evidently you can purchase ladybugs by the bag in large quantities, although I don't know why people do so, other than the fact that they have very persuasive young daughters). Anyway, this got me thinking, WHO is counting these ladybugs in the bags? 2,568..., 2,569..., 2,500 and SEVENTY!!! UGGGHHH!!!
I want to wish a Very Happy Birthday to Castelluccio (of Castelluccio & Verissimo - you remember)... :) For the rest of you, have a great day and I'll see you again either tomorrow or on Friday (graduation week, ya know)... ;)

Good afternoon everyone. As I begin my weekend, it's going to be a very busy week here in San Marcos, America. Final exams are going to winding down on the Texas State campus over the next few days, and graduation ceremonies for the spring semester are going to be starting on Thursday. Due to my job, I know an exceptionally large number of Bobcats who are going to be receiving diplomas this weekend. The reminiscing has already begun, and tears have already fallen as these ceremonies get closer and closer. I cannot even begin to fathom the number of congratulatory handshakes and hugs that I will be giving out this weekend...
That paragraph brings us to somebody who has already finished school here in San Marcos, and who in fact has already gone home. Well, somebody and somebody's friend... I SWEAR that I already mentioned these two in the blog (which doesn't prohibit them from being mentioned again), but they just KEPT PESTERING ME, so here ya go... :) Last week Keri and Gabbie stopped by work again (just to see me, I'm sure)... Keri came down to San Marcos from Minnesota for a year to finish school, and Gabbie is the good friend that she made along the way. Where this story is likely to bring a smile to your face is the part where Keri brought her parents by to show them our establishment... Keri's parents made the drive down from Minnesota to pick up Keri and her belongings, and were bringing them back with Keri... THE NEXT DAY (which I thought was pretty impressive). Anyway, when Gabbie shows up with Keri's family, Keri says, "maybe NOW you'll put us in the blog..." :) And just so you know Keri, when I saw Gabbie on the Square last night, she looked lost..., and alone..., and..., well..., she's just waiting for you to come back to San Marcos, America... ;)
In a related story, I saw this status posted on facebook today: "Test results are in and I passed the BOC! I am officially Colleen Toornburg ATC, LAT, LMT, BRAT, and PUNK! Okay..., MAYBE I added those last two, but congratulations Colleen! ;)
Let me give you a couple of work stories before I let you have the update on my fantasy baseball leagues... AHEM... On Saturday night at 8:45 p.m., the following occurred up at the Veranda... Our bartender asked if it was always that dark on the other end of the bar - I snapped off, "at nighttime..." (remember, it's 8:45 p.m., and it's dark outside)... As the bartender and my other coworker gave me a little half-hearted recognition, I started to hear it..., ACTUAL..., OUT... LOUD... LAUGHTER!!! This TRUE APPRECIATION of my wit was coming from the couple seated near us. My IMMEDIATE thought was, "that's my audience - they get me!!!" I instantly told them about this blog... ;)
Okay, let's go for another feel good story from work this weekend... As a group approached me, one person in the bunch stated, "I don't want you to think we're alcoholics. We're here our second night in a row..." After I answered with, "that's not a record...," I received a RESOUNDING CHORUS of "WOO HOO!!!" Pure jubilation and no more guilty consciences... :)
THIS happened at the very end of work on Saturday night, and I think that it's hilarious now, although I found no humor in it at the time... Almost all of our customers were gone, as it was after 2 a.m., but I still heard some voices from the stairs, and the voices weren't approaching me (they weren't LEAVING)... When I went to investigate, I found a group of guys with one girl, and I informed them that it was time to go. They let me know that they were waiting for one more member of their group to come down from the roof. I told them that we were closed, and that they had to leave. At this point, the girl in the group tells me..., "slow... your... roll..................." "NOW!!!!!!!" was my IMMEDIATE response to that suggestion, and people started MOVING... ;)
Okay, my weekly fantasy baseball standings... Let me state right here that I still seem to have that one pitcher each week (at least) who wants to go out and see how badly he can get SLAUGHTERED out there on the hill. This week it was Roy Halladay, who gave up like 417 runs in 2 1/3 innings a few days ago... Okay, your weekly update:
League 1 - (25 entry fee - 1st place 125, 2nd place 25)
1) Neshanic 71.50 (still leading the way - good job)
2) DraftDodgers 68.50
3) MONTANA MOUNTAIN GOATS 2R 57.00
Pappys Boyz 57.00
Shazzam 57.00
10) The View From Bikini Hill 39.50 (Yes, 10th - DEAD LAST...)
League 2 - (50 entry fee/40 w/discount - 1st place 300, 2nd place 50)
1) Breaking Bats 76.00 (still clicking along - good job)
2) 4troublemakers 73.50
3) The Bikini Hill Bobcats 66.00 (TRUE MIRACLE...)
League 3 - (50 entry fee/40 w/discount - 1st place 300, 2nd place 50)
1) Nappy Heads 74.00 (way out in front - good job)
2) Mad Men 58.50
Pittsburg Crawfords 58.50
6) The Bikini Hill Nine 53.50
Let me say here that I fired A LOT of baseball players over the weekend... AHEM... Let me also say here that having your weekend start on a Monday is horrible in that there are NO daytime sporting events. Tonight features three NHL playoff games, a pair of NBA playoff games (Go Spurs!!!), and maybe some baseball games (like I care)... :) What was funny about that special post that I did yesterday to predict the second round of the NBA playoffs was that I got some good-looking NBA ads from ABC - Google tailors the ads you display to the content of your blog. It's almost a surprise that my normal ads aren't for potluck dinners... ;)
Okay, that's all that I have for you right now, but I will see you again either tomorrow or on Wednesday (depending on how doing some errands goes)... Have a great day!

NBA 2nd Rd. Predictions - 2013
"I've never been afraid to fail..." -Michael Jordan-
Good morning everyone. The NBA predictably decided to start the second round of this season's playoffs today (just to make me post an entry this morning), so here I am... ;) Let's begin with a recap of the first round, where I correctly picked the winner in 6 out of the 8 series. I picked the correct number of games in none of the these series because I didn't want it to seem like I was showing off... :) Here's your recap of round one:
My Prediction/Actual Result
Heat over the Bucks in 5 games/Heat in 4 games
Knicks over the Celtics in 7 games/Knicks in 6 games
Pacers over the Hawks in 7 games/Pacers in 6 games
Bulls over the Nets in 6 games/Bulls in 7 games
Thunder over the Rockets in 5 games/Thunder in 6 games
Spurs over the Lakers in 5 games/Spurs in 4 games
Nuggets over the Warriors in 7 games/Warriors in 6 games
Clippers over the Grizzlies in 5 games/Grizzlies in 6 games
Without any further suspense (or any suspense at all, because the first game tips in just over an hour), here are my predictions for the second round:
Heat over the Bulls in 5 games
Knicks over the Pacers in 7 games
Thunder over the Grizzlies in 7 games
Spurs over the Warriors in 7 games
I hope that you have a very enjoyable Cinco de Mayo (a group of five of us went to Taco Cabana after work last night, thank you very much...), and I'll see you again tomorrow!

I Remember The First Time (15)

I remember the first time that Colleen was right... This could also be titled, "I remember the first time that Mother Nature had a sense of humor..." So last night at work it's perfect weather-wise, and I post a facebook status about looking out over beautiful San Marcos, America from our rooftop bar. My friend Colleen responds that I should enjoy it because it will be raining and cold in a few hours. Fast forward to now, where the current temperature (64 degrees) is going to be the high for the day, and the low tonight is supposed to be 43 degrees. YUCK...
I remember the first time that I shared a horoscope here... Last night my friend Ashley shared a horoscope for Libra on facebook (a lot of my friends were on facebook last night evidently)... :) Being a Libra, I found this summary to be very interesting: "Nice to everyone they meet. Their love is one of a kind. Silly, funny, and sweet. Have own unique appeal. Most caring person you will ever meet! However, not the kind of person you want to mess with... you might end up crying. Libras can cause as much havoc as they can prevent. Faithful friends to the end. Can hold a grudge for years. Libras are someone you want on your side. Usually great at sports and are extreme sports fanatics. Very creative. A hopeless romantic..." NAH..., nothing in there sounds like me at all... ;)
I remember the first time that something else didn't sound like me at all... That first quote up there..., yeah..., I'm the one who will try to tuck your tag in, probably due to being helpful and a little bit of OCD... :)
I remember the first time that being a high seed came in handy. The Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs both took advantage of favorable playoff matchups in sweeping their first-round series. Every other NBA first-round playoff series is going to see at least a sixth game...
I remember the first time that I may have told you something new. I am almost positive (I am positive) that I have mentioned here before that I am a San Antonio Spurs fan. I may not have told you that I root for the Montreal Canadiens in the NHL. I'm just noting that because I usually don't talk much hockey here. Both of these teams are #2 seeds in their conferences this year, which should make the playoffs more interesting for me...
I remember the first time that my life was about to change in a big way... That second quote above references the fact that it is final exam time for the college students here in San Marcos, America. The graduation weekend for the spring semester will be complete nine days from now, and Texas State University will be saying goodbye to a lot of Bobcats. Graduation is definitely one of those bittersweet times in our lives. I have already been hearing stories of tears being shed, and we still have a week and a half to get through...
There is a chance that I will be posting here again this weekend. I think it's possible that the NBA may have a second-round playoff series starting on Sunday if things break right in the next couple of days. If that does not happen and there is nothing to predict, then I will see you again on Monday. Have a great day!
