No alter egos here, just plain Burt

About Me

I am an honest, hardworking gentleman with an appetite for success and happiness. Not to alarm, but I do have some alter egos floating about. The first is a guy called Bull Ryder. He was the first to hit myspace. He's a poor excuse of a musician who can't figure out if he's a rocker or a hick. The second goes by the handle Stick Man. He's a golf nut who has started a small business building "sticks" for other golf nuts and is experiencing some success. Finally, just plain Burt wears the shirt and tie everyday and peddles office supplies like a mad man. All in all, I'm a nice bunch of guys!

My Interests

no particular order: golf, writing and recording in the home studio, vintage skateboards, and long drives on curvy roads.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody I suppose. Keep in mind that I am not here to meet women for any dating or craziness related to dating, as I have encountered the ultimate creature and her name is Beth. Marriage is imminent.

Music:

Old country, a little punk rock, AM radio rock oldies

Movies:

Not so much. Spaceballs is a classic though.

Television:

Negative.

Books:

Mostly how-to stuff lately. Love to learn. I can say that Helter Skelter scared me a little, the Berenstein Bears make me want to cry and Tiger Woods' "How I Play Golf" helped shave about 13 strokes off my game.

Heroes:

My parents, my sister, Fugazi.

My Blog

another long time

No news = good news?

Pleasant greetings to one and all.  I know I have been fairly distant as of late, what with no new blogs for you to peruse.  The reasoning is fairly simple.  Real life has decided to pi...

fight for second

Okay you guys, I'm a fucking golf addict.  I can admit it freely.  I play a fair bit and I shoot a fair score most days.  Last year I won the low net score for my home course' Mens Cham...

Arabian Nights

Well, since I have been having troubles posting blogs lately I have never really elaborated on my last crazy night at the sales conference.  After the whistle was blown on me about my fence climb...

up to the old tricks

    So, this conference definitely consumed every second of my time for the last 4 days.  No time for updates and no time for sightseeing.  I have two good friends in Regina a...

the splits

I have to be honest here.  This flippin' gash on my knee here is everything but pleasant.  Full of surprises it is and as I felt half of it split open today on the 7th tee I thought to mysel...

So tonight was indeed the night for the removal of the stitches.  Now, much of the last month has been a blur and I have yet to really take an inventory of what I have here left in the house.&nbs...

Reality as I know it

Well, day one back in the suit was a little rough.  Piecing together what I missed while on vacation and trying to scramble to make some sales before I am off down south for an upcoming sales con...

Day 6. Drowning the sorrow of leaving
