Good afternoon everyone. If this was a normal Friday, the title of this post was going to be 'DAMN YOU ESPN' (I reserve the right to use that as the title for a post in the future)... Revisiting my 'Denver took a big gamble in signing Peyton Manning' prediction once again, ESPN has taken it upon themself to show special coverage of the Broncos training camp just to mess with me... :) At least for four days this week (maybe longer???), ESPN is showing coverage of the new-look Broncos in camp with Manning at the helm. For those of you who may be stumbling upon my blog for the first time, I believe that the Broncos took a huge risk in signing Manning for a ton of money (a lot more than they were paying Tim Tebow) because I don't believe that he will be able to help them improve upon last year's finish for Denver (winning the AFC West and winning a playoff game). Additionally, the quarterback that they sent to New York was incredibly popular and young, while Manning is older and no one knows for sure how healthy he is. I have a small laundry list of additional reasons for being skeptical of this signing in previous posts if you want to look them up. Anyway, thank you ESPN... :)
If you are a regular follower of my little blog, then you are aware that today is not a normal Friday. I spent this morning running errands like shutting down my utility service, visiting the bank, visiting my apartment office, etc, etc, etc... in FINAL preparation for my move. The next time that you see a post here, 'Bikini Hill' will be live on location from Las Vegas, America... I've already booked a room for my first two nights in the desert, and I am hopeful that on Tuesday I will be able to find a room to rent starting August 1st. The way that the Craigslist page BLEW UP yesterday, I would actually be pretty shocked if I am unable to find a room. The gameplan from there is to find a job, and play poker, and sportsbet... I am most likely not going to make another full post here until I do find a place to rent. However, I already know for a fact that I can follow the comments to this blog from my phone, and I am also able to reply to them. If any of you are interested, you can follow my move in progress from my twitter account @desertcoach. I will be able to update my progress much easier from my twitter account until I am settled into a new habitat with internet access for my desktop. I will still be in San Marcos, America for the majority of this weekend, and the trip west will take place at some point on Sunday. For those of you who are not going through the process of moving this week, I just want to state for the record that I am extremely jealous (i.e., You Suck!)... :P
I sincerely hope that you have an outstanding weekend, and I'll see you in the comments section, on twitter, or in my next post (to be determined). ;)
Luck on your trip!
ReplyDeleteThey should get a lot of publicity from Payton at least. You think Teebo was going to win a playoff game again? I am not so sure that he could. I like the kid but I do not think he is that great.
ReplyDeleteThis is all about Elway HATING Teebo and the only way he is getting him out after last year is to bring in someone he can say "Hey Look here! This guys a proven winner!".
Thank you Mojo, and good luck this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI like Tebow's heart - I didn't think that Tebow would win a playoff game last year, and certainly not against my Steelers... It is all about Elway hating Tebow, no question.
Yeah I really like Teebo myself.. seems like a good kid.
Deletei think there might be an application to install blogger to ur phone depending on what type of phone u have, so u can use it or twitter. any chance u might be at the golden nugget sometime sunday or monday?
ReplyDeleteI can access blogger, but I'm not crazy about doing a detailed post on my phone with the microscopic keyboard. No chance on the Nugget this weekend - you'll have to put all of the chips into your stack... ;)
ReplyDeletegl on the move ovah. Safe landing in Las Vegas. Looking forward to reading how this move works out for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you lightning - keep us updated on how that letter to the poker gods works out for you... :)
ReplyDeletei didnt mean this weekend, im in laughlin this weekend. meant early next week, where in vegas will u be playing? the easiest games to beat are at the nugget, although most people who never go downtown dont realize that. another good place is planet hollywood and ballys. wanted to have a chance to find out who u are since u are a good friend of Josies.
ReplyDeletePatience sevencard - the gameplan is up above. Get there, find a place to live, find a job - I plan on being around for a while...
ReplyDeleteWell before you leave, better run by the Schlotzkys there for one last sandwich if you're planning on staying in Vegas on a permanent basis. I don't remember seeing any around there last time I visited though I could be wrong
ReplyDeleteI want to be the first to welcome you into town!
ReplyDeleteEven if it is a bit premature.
I was thinking about running by Alvin Ord's for one last 'salvation sandwich'... ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you grrouchie - it's getting REALLY CLOSE!
If you're interested in a 1 BR apartment, I highly recommend Allegro apartments at 215 and Gibson in Henderson. Some of their units have amazing views, too. I lived there (twice) for over 7 years. Great place to live.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda Lou - I'm going to try to go from renting a room first to renting an apartment, but I lived in Henderson before and I will definitely give Allegro a look... :)
ReplyDeleteI am here in LV - 21 hours 12 minutes... :)
