Colts 18 - Patriots 15

November 3, 2008 · Posted in People, Photography, Places · 4 Comments 

Went to see the Colts play Sunday night. I went in skeptical considering their record so far this year. They did manage to pull this one off! This was my first shot at shooting a game with my new camera. It did alright but I still need a brighter lens. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the game:

We were sitting in the end zone. The good: we were close, the bad: that blasted goal post.

The only one who warmed up close enough was Dominic:

Apparently Reggie likes to dance before the game:

Fortunately, a split second later, the ref ducked!

Sing a song of…

Alright, imagine if you will, the most annoying thing you can think of.

Got it?

Now multiply the annoyance factor by 10.

Are you there?

You still aren’t even close to this!

I like to play a game sometimes. See when people get on my nerves, rather than ignore them I get even. So I play a game with them. I call it sing song. From the point I declare game on, I will take a word from everything they say and find a song with that word and start singing it to them. There is a goal and yes I can win the game. See, the game goes something like this:

coworker: Jeff, can you help me with this?

me: Help, I need somebody. Help, not just anybody.

coworker: Jeff, come here please.

me: Here I go again on my own, walking down the only road I’ve ever known.

Can you see how this works so far?

Here’s the goal line, the idea is to get them to tell me to shut up!

coworker: Shut up

me: Up up and away in my beautiful my beautiful balloon.

Oh the joy I get from this game. It may not seem like much now, but you should try it sometime. I guarantee you will enjoy it. Also, it keeps your mind sharp trying to think of a song as quickly as possible. Don’t worry about it when you get stuck, just make one up if you have to. Now get digging through your music collection and get ready to drive someone nuts!

The Social Consequences of an Economic Downturn.

(or How to Play with Google’s Head)

I did not, repeat did not get through the book like I had hoped so now I am scrambling for time to devote to it. I put too much on my plate and now I am paying for it in spades.

Fun things we did at the marriage retreat:

  • Played a version of the newlywed game where we try and guess how our spouse answered a question.
  • Ate food
  • Spent quality time with our spouses
  • Ate more food

All in all I think we had a good time. I don’t think I did very well at the game though as I can barely remember what happened yesterday, let alone a year ago.
