A one year project to become a better man in America's south
Day 118 – WOOT! WOOT! I’m 32. And I feel it.
The day didn’t start out great. I’m definitely feeling my age now. I hit the gym first thing this morning, and while pushing a giant tractor trailer tire across the gym, I felt an urgent need to puke. So I ran to the restroom, puked my guts out and headed home. I got home, opened the door, fell to the floor in the foyer and slept for a little over an hour. Yep, I literally passed out in the foyer of my home.
Day 117 – It’s Pub Politics Tuesday again. Earlier today we taped a pretty awesome segment for WACH FOX. As you can see, I went after the Governor’s staff a good bit.
Day 116 – Today I learned that I’m supposed to only wash my hair twice a week. Ok, this one is new to me and I just don’t know how I feel about it.
As a man, I should be going to a barber shop and not a stylist, but today I had to make an exception. Before I get into this, you should know that my father was a barber and my mother was a cosmetologist. That means I got my hair cut all the time.
Day 115 – Boom goes the dynamite!
The University of South Carolina Gamecocks beat the Clemson Tigers last night for the third year in a row.
This win seems bittersweet. I love my Gamecocks, but as I said last night, I can’t help but think that an era in my life is coming to an end. The Gamecocks symbolize college, graduate school and the early years of my career and marriage. Now its time for something more and I’m ready to take that leap. Where next? Not quite sure, but I hope to have it figured out by the next USC v Clemson game.
Day 114 – It’s game day. And not just any game day. It’s the biggest game day of the year – USC v Clemson.
The best news of all is that its a 7:30 game. That means things are going to get crazy and its going to be a late evening. It’s not a day for blogging, so I’ll just share a great interview I did this week. with Nation Builder’s Leaders and Creators Podcast.
Day 113 – Elizabeth blogs occasionally about things that “made me smile.” Today I want to tell you about something that made me scream.
I absolutely hate AT&T’s 3G MicroCell. Don’t buy it.
This device plugs into your Internet service to extend 3G into a building with poor AT&T service. It’s
Day 112 – Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
It was a very special day for us. We hosted our first Thanksgiving dinner at our home. We picked up my grandmother and Elizabeth’s grandmother from their respective homes. Elizabeth’s brother and my sister, brother-in-law and niece drove up from Charleston.
Day 111 – I told you how to kill the meeting and conference call time vampires. Today I ran across these great tips on how to kill the Internet time vampire.
Day 110 – Another very busy day with little time to write. Like every Tuesday, we shot the WACH Fox version of Pub Politics today. This Occupy movement is getting hot in Columbia and across the nation. It’s a strange topic, because as I said before, there is no clear right or wrong. Both sides are right. I just wish the Occupiers would be a little cleaner in their protest. They should have the right to raise Hell. And I should have the right to clean public property, which my tax dollars pay for.
Day 109 – Yes, I know. My last blog post was a little over the top. I shouldn’t be calling Seth Miller a pathetic loser. I get it. But that’s the point I was making.
Becoming a better person is progress. It doesn’t just happen overnight. I happens through lots of failed attempts.
I try to squash my anger and I’ve come a very long way. I probably would have ignored Seth if he were just attacking me, but seeing him attack my staff really pushed me over the edge.
