First blog entry!

I finally turned off my TV and turned on some tunes so I can finally get my first blog entry in. Coolio's "Gangster's Paradise" is bumpin' right now. I'm straight thug, yo.
So it's 2011. We're two days into it. I guess it's been pretty decent so far. I hung out with myself on New Year's Eve and didn't even realize it had passed midnight until about 12:10. I guess that can sound kind of depressing, but I like hanging out with myself. That's not to say I wasn't bummed that I hadn't gotten invited to any parties, and there was no way I was going to the bars, especially having just gotten home the day before from a trip to Montana to see my twin brother, Mark, for Christmas.
I had, however, gone out that night I got home from Montana. But that was only because my buddy said he'd buy if I drove. Who would turn that down?! I met this really great and beautiful girl. We hit it off really well, and I got her number before we left. Called her tonight; no answer, left a message. I guess we'll see where it goes from here, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Each time I do, I get let down. I find it's better (although not easier) to not get my hopes up.
Anyway, back to 2011. Yesterday, my godparents were in town to visit my parents and spend New Year's Day and watch the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately, Wisconsin lost due to some very questionable play-calling at the end. We had a great dinner, washed down with Spotted Cow! I love when people from Wisconsin come visit. If you've never had Spotted Cow, and you even kind of like beer, you have to try it. There's a catch, though: You can only purchase it in Wisconsin. It's worth it, though. Anything by New Glarus Brewing Company is worth it. (I also highly recommend Totally Naked and Fat Squirrel.)
I also watched the Winter Classic (annual outdoor NHL hockey game) last night between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals. I run a Facebook fan page where I post updates about NHL games played on NBC. The Winter Classic is the season's kickoff for NHL on NBC. It was a decent game, and Washington won, so that's a good thing. I'm all for watching Sidney Crosby (or Cindy Criesby, as I call him) and the Penguins lose.
The rest of last night was spent making this blog, but I never got around to actually making an entry. I started one, but then my bed was like, "Hey, Chris! Come cuddle with me."
I replied, "Yes, bed. As you wish." And off to bed I went!
That brings us to today. Today was an important day for my beloved Green Bay Packers. Beat the Chicago Bears, and we're in the playoffs. We did just that, and it definitely made my day. So both the Packers and Bears are it in the playoffs. They split their season series, 1-1. I want a rubber match in the playoffs, but that can't happen until the NFC Championship game, based on how the seeding worked out. That would call for a great game! It's what I'm hoping for... and a Packers win in that game!
So I'm sitting here with a Miller High Life (nothing but the best, right?) to my left, all cozy and keeping cold in my Packers coozy. My Packers hat in still on my head, my Sterling Sharpe #84 jersey still on my chest, and my Packers pajama pants still keeping my legs warm. I'm starting to get a little chilly. Maybe I should put my green and gold robe back on.
Seventeen minutes later, I'm back on track to finally finish this up. Damn this ADD. And after I typed that last sentence, I took a ten-second break to dance to "Bad Romance" by Lady GaGa. I'm fucking weird. But hey, I like it!
I'm actually somewhat surprised with myself for how organized this first entry is. My mind works in weird ways. Thoughts are always shooting every which way, and things get random and hard to follow. I urge you to try to keep up. If I jump ship to a new topic all of a sudden, don't fret. I'll come back to the original topic. Maybe.
Alright, I think I've used up enough text and enough of your time here so far. Until next time, folks, I bid you adieu. I leave you with "Jungle Love" by Steve Miller Band working its way through my speakers. Thank you and good night!
