I just sat in traffic for an hour and change on a 2-mile approach to the GWB - which has to be the most heavily traveled bridge in the entire world. I blasted Glassjaw and ETID the entire way (not kid friendly music) but it was the way my mood was taking me - angry.
When I walked in the door to the apartment, all was well - even though Lindsay was mad because she severely stubbed her left pinky toe on a pair of sneakers I left on the floor - my bad. Then Nolan was sleeping, which is always something/someone I enjoy seeing. Poor Nathan, he is in Long Island for the weekend while we head to Syracuse for a wedding. My father said he was sad this morning because he was looking for us, but then he goofed around with him and gave him a treat, then he passed right back out. We miss that little dude.
Then I popped on over to the newest member of the blog community - Nolan's Newsstand - a blog dedicated to our little man, Nolan. Linds is the main contributor to that site - especially since I just created it for her last night at around 11:00pm. I'm sure I will guest post from time to time, and when the little dude can use his hands, maybe a few gibberish posts will appear. It's more of a blog to keep up with the news that Nolan brings to our lives.
Time for Lindsay to get a haircut and dinner. Long day in Plymouth Meeting for me, recruiting, since I got 100% on my test and all, I am still eligible to find new players for Manhattan College.

Awesome Awesomeness
Today was a strictly cardio day for me in the gym. I was feeling crazy, so I started off on the rowing machine. Pretty intense. We have a club crew team, so they have some pretty nice stuff they have stashed in the fitness center.
I started off with the "Fish Game", couldn't get the hang of it, so I put the squash on that. Opted instead for a 2,000m row. Don't ask what distance that is or what it even means (I assume 2,000 meters?) but it took me just over eight minutes and was very intense. It was a solid cardio and back workout.
From there I headed to the stationary bike. Rode around for a while on "Pike's Peak" and listened to some music.
As per yesterday, here's a look into the music that started my day:
1. Every Time I Die - "Organ Grinder" - just a barrel of awesomeness to start off
2. I Am The Avalanche - "Always" - melodic yet hard enough to pump me up
3. The Gaslight Anthem - "American Slang" - NJ band with a sound eerily similar to that of Bruce Springsteen
4. Every Time I Die - "For The Record" - "I've had a good run but can't run anymore" - PLAY IT LOUD!
5. Kid Cudi - "Dat New 'New'" - if you don't know this guy (and are under 32), WAKE UP!!
6. Brad Paisley - "Water" - just a song I enjoy singing along to
7. Nine Inch Nails - "Where Is Everybody" - a going-away pump up song to cool down to
And you should definitely listen to these songs. Because they're awesome. And so are you!

Misc.
Home of the 2010 MAAC Baseball Championships. #1 Canisius, #2 Marist, #3 Rider, #4 Manhattan. Same field as last year, different seeding, hoping for different results.
Coaches get their own rooms. To quote the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "Woooooooo!!" Just got up from a little siesta and buzzed the facial growth. Couldn't really be good or bad luck, we won two and lost one since the last time I buzzed it. Gonna wait to get ready for the dinner at 7:30pm because I sweat like an animal, even in the hotel air conditioning.
Listening to a wide array of music on this laptops version of iTunes, my home laptop has more, since this one was wiped clean. It's pretty much as loud as it goes, which may ultimately end the life of this here laptop. This thing is at least 8 years old, running on it's last legs. Want to get inside my head, see what kind of music I'm listening to? Here's a list of the past 8 songs I've listened to: "Shoot Frank" by Cage ft. Daryl Palumbo; "We'rewolf" by Every Time I Die; "Supermassive Black Hole" by MUSE; "The Leaving Song Pt. 2" by AFI; "1,000,000" by Nine Inch Nails; "Mother Lover" by The Lonely Island; "Pledge Allegiance to the Hag" by Eric Church; "1901" by Phoenix. Got some indie/punk/rap, some metal/hardcore, some country, some industrial rock, some rock, some funny spoof rap, and whatever the hell Phoenix is considered, alternative rock maybe? I actually dislike this song, but for some reason I can't turn it off.
It's 6:09pm, still got some time before I dress up for this dinner - it's a banquet at the Holiday Inn, "Pleasing people the world over". (Tagline Guru) Pretty cool site, who knew someone would dedicate an entire website to taglines. I guess the same can be said for me, how the hell do I have the attention span to continue blogging. Here's some cool ones, in my opinion, and you're reading my blog, so tough crap if you don't want my opinion: "When it rains, it pours" is Morton Salt (my father loves salt, on everything, and I guess so do I - salt on a cucumber, try it); "Wake up and drive" is Mitsubishi's, which is pretty important advice - it's tough to drive when you're not awake; "The best kept automotive secret in America" is Peugeot - they really are a secret, I've never even heard of them/that - it's probably something above my social/economic class - just looked it up, about $35,000 USD, or £24,500; one more, lets see here; here's a jingle, "I'm a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper, we're a pepper, wouldn't ya like to be a pepper too, I'm a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper, if you drink Dr. Pepper you're a pepper too" is a Dr. Pepper jingle from the 1970's. Kinda catchy. Just watched the YouTube video of it.
Birthday shout-outs real quick - none of my Facebook friends birthday today.
Mike Myers, the voice of Shrek turns 47 today. He also starred in Wayne's World, the Austin Powers movies, and a recent favorite movie of mine, Inglorious Basterds. Oh, behave!
Stacy London, star of one of Lindsay's favorite shows, What Not to Wear, on TLC, turns 41 today. Good thing Lindsay hasn't nominated me for that show, I pretty much wear mesh shorts and t-shirts to work every day. I have clothes that are nice, but really only wear them when we go out to dinner or out with Paul and Jenny.
Oh, and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson would have turned 208 today. Why they put that on the website is beyond me. (All birthday's I post about I get from www.myfamousbirthdays.com).
OK, time to freshen up and dress it up. Suit is hanging up, just gotta tie this tie - that'll take 20 minutes.
I hope the food's good, that root beer float from A&W was good this afternoon, but the burger didn't really fill me up.
