Real Talk : You should buy this for me.
Acrylic on Black Velvet and it’s on eBay w/buy it now listing of $760
While procuring a small basket of new Apples (more on that later)… I ran into FAYGO at my local Central Market!
All I need now is to convince a few friends from Detroit to move to the Motor City and have HEB carry Better Made Chips - to make moving here, one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Wanted to quickly give the organizers of The Rally With No Name - dap this morning!
They threw an awesome rally over the weekend. I hope the organizers feel good after the long weekend…
I know that being there on Saturday, has already got Henry/Clay/Self - thinking about what we need to do for RDLM2.
In completely unrelated news… I received this lovely illustration from Hellie over the weekend.
I need to post some of her other works in the near future.
Wanted to quickly send out some big birthday wishes to my sister who turned 32 yesterday.
I’m often asked if the 29th of September is my birthday… It’s not. I simply used the date for an internet handle after attempting 10 other things that were taken.
When my sister all but assured herself a win in our Fantasy Reality league… I sorta lost the drive to publish blog posts after the past few episodes.
I’ve been keeping track however of how every character did, so without further delay - here are my findings.
Team Joker : 1165 points - Fantasy Reality Champion 2013
Team Ro Ro : 900 points
The biggest factor between our teams success can be summed up in two letters : C T
Through 12 weeks - he accumulated 250 total points. Averaged 20.83 points per episode… 2nd place totaled 175 points.
BEAST.
He’s hands down the MVP of 2013 - Fantasy Reality League. He took home the Challenge Trophy, hooked up with a variety of ladies in the house and threw up like a grown ass man in the season finale.
My rookie of the year goes to : Cooke. She was second only to CT with 175 total points for the season, averaging just under 15 points per episode and if she was partnered with someone who could swim - she may have won the challenge for the ladies.
All in all, the season was pretty good. The best part may have been the reunion which was shown LIVE - after the season finale.
Knight - bitch slapped Frank in what was one of the strangest hour of MTV reality tv.
Where does one start?
I think that pretty much covers it… the season finale wasn’t a high-water mark. Season 2 was the Genoa story arch and if they could have gotten away with making 6 episodes… this would have been an amazing season.
I recently read this week that they’ve renewed the show for 3rd season, so I look forward to seeing what will break this news team apart.
The biggest take away is the union of Mac and Will… It’s a dizzying new height for a couple that seems to find new lows every week. I’m torn up about their announcement.
Should make for an interesting Season 3…
I was asked to attend the New Braunfels Downtown Rotary “Wild Game” dinner the other night by the CEO of the company I work for… Here are some photos that I took while there.
The event raised money for a number of local charitable efforts… I didn’t participate in any of the raffles because of my disinterest in firearms. I did however spend a good part of time looking at local Taxidermist work.
I realized a few a weeks ago that my Reality Fantasy wouldn’t be able to come up with the points to take my sister down.
As it stands
Team Joker: 1015
Team Ro Ro: 780
This hasn’t soured the show for me in the least tho’… I’ve been tuning in to cheer on Cooke/Jordan/Marlon/CT. I’m sorta wishing ill will on everyone one else in the house.
Ballerz of the Week
65 Points - Cooke
50 points - JT saying KILLED IT twice
10 points - Winning a Challenge (earning a ticket to the finals)
5 points - verbal with Diem
All around amazing week by my girl Cooke… She’s neck n’ neck with Jordan for being Rookie of the year… She trails only CT in total overall Fantasy Reality Points. I want her to win this more than anyone else.
60 Points - Cara Maria
50 points - JT saying KILLED IT twice
10 points - Winning a Challenge (earning a ticket to the finals)
35 Points - Diem
20 points - Verbal with 4 people - Jemmye, Camilla (twice), and Cooke
15 points - Crying three times
- Fucked right?
Lastly… want to quickly throw some shade at Team Jordan and Marlon. They had a chance to throw Paula and Emily into the Jungle and they decided not to… Supposedly because Emily and Paula did so well throughout the season, but they should have returned the favor and sent them in to face elimination.
LAME
After a taking a week off in observance of Labor Day, the Newsroom was back last night to start its 2 part Season (maybe Series?) Finale.
The episode centered largely around the Newsroom preparing for election night. An election that I recall being called remarkably early by FOX news in 2012… so I’m curious to see what comes of episode 2.
Speaking of FOX news election coverage… found it a little amusing to see the Newsroom take time to visit the Polling Nerd people. FOX news did something similar when votes in Ohio didn’t come thru for Karl Rove.
But I digress… this episode had a number of chuckle moments. I think Rebecca started things off right by wearing a tight little number, showcasing her assets and proclaiming that she was “Liquid Sex”.
A first of sorts… I’ve never heard anyone ever say that and I walk around all the time laying claim on all sorts of Sexy.
Charlie, Mac and Will are still trying to resign/get fired… I think they may possibly get their wish.
