Big Weekend

I know that everyone is pulling for the Steelers on Sunday. I mean it is the Super Bowl, why shouldn't they be the center of attention. But lets all not forget about Pitt Basketball. This team is unreal. After crusing through Notre Dame on Saturday it should be impressive to watch them head through the rest of the Big East Conference and into March Maddness. Depending on where they end up in the bracket, a final four berth isn't totally out of the question.

Weathermen

So I've decided that a trained monkey could become a weatherman here in Pittsburgh. All the stations were calling for a "dusting" of snow this morning. Right now we've got about a inch and a half with no end in sight. Someone needs to buy these people a new computer or something. They've even started calling the storm expected on Monday a "crippling" storm. What the heck does that mean? I'm not really sure I want to find out.

The Theory of Patience

Another week means another theory. This weeks topic is patience:

As I've gotten older its become apparent that when you are a patient person good things will happen. It kind of relates back to the old adage of never go looking for a fight. Personal or professional it doesn't matter. Waiting for the right opportunity or person to come along makes it that much more worth while when something really good happens. Now more than ever I believe that by not pushing for what you want can you find true happiness.

Another Snowy Day

If its Thursday it must mean more snow and dreary. I could really go for some sunshine right about now, but at least the weekend is coming up. With the Panthers playing on Saturday and the Super Bowl on Sunday it looks like it may be another winner of a weekend. Of course I'd be content just curling up on the couch watching a movie.

Hunkering Down

Well its January in Pittsburgh, so that means the weather is bound to make a turn for the worst. Low and behold tomorrow through Wednesday it should be fun with snow and ice. The white stuff I don't mind too much, but I could live without the ice.

If it wasn't for work I'd love to be snuggled up on the couch watching movies and simply just relaxing.

The Wow Theory

I've discovered that in life there are certain moments when your breath gets taken away and all you can think is Wow!. Usually these are momentous occasions (first really nice car, birth of a child, winning the lottery, etc). For me I've had two wow moments in my life.

The first was when I got my college diploma. After struggling through school for five years it was an impressive accomplishment for me. All I could do was sit on my couch and stare at the diploma showing what I had done.

The second was more recent and I'll save that one for later.

Jersey Boys

I had a nice night out last night heading down to see Jersey Boys. The show was fantastic. I really had no idea the Four Seasons sang as many songs I knew. It has been a while since I've had a night out where it was so much fun. I highly recommend the show if it comes to your town, especially if you have that special someone to go with.

Thoughts and Theories

Over my years I have developed many thoughts and theories and several topics. Hopefully they can become a nice part of this site. Some of them are pretty out there, but others actually make some sense (which is pretty scary). They may provide some insight, but mostly you'll probably just laugh pretty darn hard.

Another Snowy Tuesday...

As a skier I can enjoy a good snow fall as much as the next person, but when it starts spitting the white stuff on a Tuesday it just makes me shake my head. The one constant it seems is that no matter the season Tuesday will always have the worst weather. Makes for a fun drive to the Irwin office and may make the day go a little faster.

The Beginning

I figured that I should enter the 21st century and see what this whole blogging things is all about. We'll see just how much I keep on top of this but it should be interesting.

Tonight we'll see if Pitt can rebound against Syracuse. It should be a great game.
