About Me

I moved to Baltimore to work for the Bowie Baysox...I came out as an intern making almost nothing...and am now a full time employee....making almost nothing.

I miss the Twin Cities a lot...but so far Baltimore has been a blast.

I'm also going to miss playing soccer. It is nice to be surrounded by baseball, constantly. And I love walking into the backyard and seeing Camden Yards.

Maybe I am not quite the worst beer pong player in the world....I've won a game!!!....Now I'm something like 1-44 on my life.

Balls.

My Interests

Baseball....fantasy sports.....burritos......beer....

I'd like to meet:

Steve Young (and a number of other 49'ers from the 90's), Stan Lee, J-Mo Cuddy and Johan, Mike Veck, Sandy Koufax and David Cone.

Music:

I heart: Panic at the Disco. Alkaline Trio. Green Day, OffSpring, Barenaked Ladies, WEEZER, Rise Against, NFL RADIO, Fall Out Boy, Blackhawk, Garth Brooks, Billy Joel

Movies:

Swingers, Baseketball, The Program, Major League, Bull Durham, Poolhall Junkies, Starship Troopers, High Fidelity, TRANSFORMERS, superhero movies.

Television:

My Name is Earl, Sports Night, 24, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Books:

Books on sports, especially on baseball, and especially books on pitchers.
I went on a BIG sports econmics book binge. I think paying public dollars for stadiums is a terrible thing to inflict on the average taxpayer, but I don't want the Twins or Vikings to move, and that's how the game is played, so I won't protest TOO loudly.

Heroes:

Peyton Manning. Joe Mauer. Johan. The King.

The Bender

I was drunk for seven days. Unemployed, homeless I've wandered the land like a vagabond, living off of Arby's and booooooooze. Today, I'm going to hang out on a beach drinking Corona's. Grilling...

Coming home

Wow, was it good to be home for a few days. My new fantasy football teams kick ass. I got to see a lot of friends and family. I played the worst football game of my life. Guess you can't win them ...

Wow, is this some kind of plague?

Wow, I have somehow estranged a girlfriend and three other female friends in the last couple of weeks. It almost feels like I got some terrible disease, and now it's spreading. Symptoms are a...

So bummed

You know, NFL teams search so long and so hard for their FRANCHISE quarterback. For every Carson Palmer there seems to be a dozen or more Akili Smiths and Cade McNowns. For every Peyton Ma...

Obsessions

I'm an addict. I can't help it. I've been planning my next season of fantasy football since last season ended, what was it week 14? I'm not even kidding. Also, I've been planning for a foot...

MySpace, closing the gap on Facebook (home and bored)

My parents house is boring. I could write on my real blog (tomsforamerica.blogspot.com), but for some reason I don't really feel up to it. Tonight, I read the funniest blog ever on someone's profil...

Lamentations from a Kyle Orton Clone

I hope I play football again soon. The last game left me hungry. As always, I write off my defensive contributions to the game (normally there aren't any) even though I intercepted a pass and return...
