Xpinionated

So I had another bachelor weekend with the wife out of town on business. But you know what, these just aren’t as much fun as they use to be. They always start off with a bang but in all actuality, I’m pretty much ready for her to get back home after 36 hours or so.

When she leaves, I’m thinking I’ll be out four, five nights in a row. Maybe spend the weekend at my local watering hole. And though I usually end up out, it’s just not as much fun. It’s almost like it’s not fun because I didn’t have to get permission or something. A lot of time I find myself walking around the house just kind dazed and confused wondering what to do next.

Oh well, I guess that’s love…..

You know how some people talk just to hear themselves talk….?

I blog just to hear myself type….

Admittedly, I have not watched much of the Olympics. Just not a winter Olympics fan. But I have seen, repetitively, commercials for this Bode Miller character. Now this is where you guys can comment and tell me who the hell he is. As I understand, he’s a medal-less skier….so why the hype and commercials etc?

Ok, I am going to go on record. Partly because I am sleepy, partly because I believe what I’m about to say to be true.

I am a closet. . . . . Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy fan. There, I said it! NBA All-star game this past weekend, yeah only saw what I could during commercials of the aforementioned telecasts. Maybe Mrs. Xpinionated is finally wearing down my masculine rebellion . . . . I shiver at the thought, though not as bad as I once did….

Apparently, there are some that are angry that Shani Davis decided to pursue individual gold at the Olympic games. I understand those that say he’s not a team player. And in some regards, I respect their point of view.

But alas, the man trained for a specific event. The man doesn’t train with the National program. So it appears that his so-called snub isn’t in fact a snub.

In addition, there are those that are upset because he didn’t take part in the team pursuit which the U.S. didn’t do well. It’s speculated that perhaps they would have won gold giving Chad Hedrick a chance for five medals. So let’s get this straight, let’s be mad at someone for pursuing their individual glory at the cost of someone else’s . . individual . . . glory?
