Movember 2011
It’s that time of the year, Movember. A month where men can freely grow handsome mustaches in effort to raise awareness for fight against the ever so evil cancer. A little background for those unfamiliar with Movember:
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men...

Your inside joke is hilariousssss.

"But I say piss off!"
So it was a not-so-set in stone goal of mine to do a 5K before the wedding. You know by now of my health kick of the last few months anyhow. If not, check the Short & Pat archives. Ashley and I are regulars at Cardinal (now Charter) Fitness in Shorewood. We had seen the fliers for the “Shorewood Scoot 5K” for a couple months. We kept saying “hey, we should do that”...

Still King
I do a lot of thinking while I’m driving. My mind is always in a million places but when I’m behind the wheel driving alone I tend to do most my pondering there. I was listening to either KISS FM or B96 (yea ol’ Pat likes to get a lil’ hip-hoppy sometimes) and I heard that new Bad Meets Evil song where Eminem has that line “I had a dream, I was king. Woke up, still...

Do you remember July 23rd, 2010?
Do you remember July 23rd, 2010? Probably not but I do. Want to know what i did that day? Click here. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Yup. It’s been one year since Ashley and I have been engaged. (I broke the news to friends via #FF on Twitter, classy! See pic here: http://twitpic.com/27zi0k) And it’s now 77 days until the wedding! Damn time flies. But yes, one year since I locked...

Newsflash: I still hate running.
Welp I did it. I finished Couch 2 5K. Well I haven’t actually ran a 5K but I finished the nine week program, which took way longer the nine weeks but whatever I f’n finished it. Take a minute to read the post when I first started it here.
Ok done? As you can see I HATED running so I was both nervous and dreading doing the program. Newsflash: I still hate running. But I...

4th of July Photo Blog
A collection of photos from the 4th of July Weekend and one photo that gives you a sneak peek into my Christmas vacation:
Stopped by RibFest in Naperville for the first time. This is the “psycho” from “Lick My Ribs”, 1/2 brisket, 1/2 pork. Was awesome.
Ashley and I at one of her co-workers wedding. Good time.

Random annoying car observations
When a radio station in your #1 presets changes/will change to a format you won’t listen to. (see Q101) Or in my case where it is my top spot in the #1 presets, now I have to bump 5 others ones up, bump one from #2 preset to the #6 spot in #1 presets, bump the other 5 in presets #2 up one and find a new station for the last spot in preset #2. ARE YOU FOLLOWING?!

I was getting down fo'shizzle
Ashley and I had the pleasure of standing up in our good friends Jeff and Heidi’s wedding this weekend at Navy Pier. It was as good as advertised. TLC filmed it for their show “Four Weddings”, fingers crossed that they win! My fingers are crossed they do NOT use any dance floor footage because I did boogie with the three other brides from the show and I know it won’t be...

And then we had a little incident
Time for some weekend recap goodness. An uneventful Friday, we went to the gym and lounged around the house. On Saturday we had our food tasting in Kankakee for the wedding. It’ll be catered by America’s Bistro restaurant. We tried quite a few things, too much (aka too lazy) to recap all of them. Let’s just say if you are lucky enough to be in attendance, you will eat a...

Work expressions that need to die.
Every office has that guy or that girl who busts out the same ol’ saying or expression entirely too often. I have a few of my own and enlisted the help of my awesome twitter and facebook friends to expand the list. Let’s take a look at some:
“Are we having fun yet?!?”
The classic “walking by someone and they need to say something to make it less awkward”...

patchy, curly pubes on my face
Just a quick thought on beards. Though beards are of great sophistication and look dashing, they derive from laziness.
I shaved my beard on Wednesday. Friday arrives and it’s time to shave again. I really didn’t feel like shaving my whole face. So the neck got the blade and a lil’ on top of the cheeks and here we go again, the beard is on it’s way back. Just like that....

Our friend the "...or no?"
“Do you want to read this post…or no?”
The good old “…or no?”. Notice how we tack that on to the end of sentences we speak. And it’s usually accompanied with that facial expression where you tilt your head a bit with a slight look of concern and if you freeze frame it, it kind of looks like you’re trying to fart. Yea, that face. “…or...

I'm still not mature enough for church
And so concludes another packed weekend. May is a busy one.
We laid low on Friday night, knowing we needed to rest up for Saturday and Sunday. Watched the Bulls win, hit the gym and then bed. Exciting.
Saturday was “jam-packed” as my father would say. Ashley was working at the local OTB for the Kentucky Derby, she does it every year for the extra cash. I had my nephew...
