I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!

I really should have got a phone number from that hot Australian dancer I met and danced with while on the cruise ship.......

Love Me When I'm Gone

I have already told some of you about this and if you have been reading my tweets either through following me on Twitter or glancing at my Twitter widget on the sidebar, then you know what this announcement is about.

I am leaving for London tomorrow night.

Now I know I just floored some of you with that shocking announcement. Take a moment, pick your jaws off the floor. Okay. Can I continue? Good.

This is not a permanent thing or something that will last a while. I am merely taking a 10 day vacation to the British Isles that will see me visiting London and Dartmouth in England, Waterford and Dublin in Ireland, and Edinburgh in Scotland. I am leaving tomorrow: Friday, August 6, 2010 and will return sometime in the afternoon on Monday, August 16, 2010. During that time period, I will not have access to a computer, though the cruise ship that I am on should have some sort of daily news reader so I won't be totally out of the loop on the big things, but regardless, I won't have any means of writing this blog or communicating through Twitter.

Fear not, though, my friends. 49er16 and kt1000 will be taking over in my absence and will be writing about anything they see fit. If they want to write about how they go to parties wearing nothing but a G-string, I am powerless to stop them. If they want to write some football previews or write stories on Brett Favre's next 3 retirements, I am powerless to stop them plus they won't lose all of the blog's readership like they would if they tried the first option listed.

Best of luck to them in their 10-day long endeavor. While it is highly unlikely I will put up a blog post tomorrow morning/afternoon (unless something major happens), you will still likely find me on Twitter until I leave in the evening (it is a very late flight). So peace be to you all and unless I encounter you through Twitter, I will talk to you after I stuffed myself with Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mashed, and more alcohol than I've drank in my entire life.

A Little Story

(Guest posted by Keith from Keith's Sports Journal)

I've been wanting to post this ever since JFein asked if I would pinch hit for him while he was on vacation. When I was in high school, my friend and his family also vacationed in Europe for 14 days. I was asked to house sit for them while they were gone. Well one day I came up with a plan. Let's have a party at my friends house while he and his family were gone. I invited all of our friends and had someone older than me buy the alcohol. We partied from sun down to sun up. One problem though, my friends house was completely thrashed.

There were holes in the walls. Sheets were ripped off of the beds. Certain items were stolen. One of his dogs was let out of the backyard and was lost(thankfully I found his dog). Let's just say, things were Fucked Up. The other problem was, my friend and his family were scheduled to return in five days after the party. Well they had a change in plans, and were coming back in two days. Needless to say they found out about the party and I was royally screwed. It cost me over a 2,000 dollars to repair the damage of the house.

So the lesson of the story, don't have a party at someones house while they are away. It's never a good thing. So while JFein is gone, I plan to keep his blog up and running without any problems. And I think I can say the same thing about James Craven. JFein left with me the responsibility of caring on this blog while he is away, and that is exactly what I am going to do.

If you have any tips, complaints, suggestions, or compliment, then send them to 49er16@gmail.com. I am not sure if JC will want to leave his e-mail, and if he doesn't send me whatever you have to say about JC's posts.

Also I was wondering if the people would like a live blog of the MLB All-Star game? If you would like one, it will be my pleasure to give it to you.

Thanks, 49er16
