Today is the 1 year anniversary

.... of this pointless thing I call "The blog." I'd like to say we've had a lot of good times over the past year but we all know that isn't true. There have been a few highlights: My favorite being the blog I did after a hectic day at the airport last June. There have also been a lot of low lights. A lot. Just terrible, terrible writing.

Allow me to give a quick recap of the past year with several key bullet points:

* Jorgen has a purse.

* It's red.

* Jorgen is a man but he has a purse. That's the entire joke. See now that isn't even funny. He carries a purse because he has so much shit to carry with him. Hand cream, books, betting sheets, a picture of Amanda. And he's from the Midwest so he's a little delicate. I get it. It's lame but I get it.

* Jorgen is Swedish.

* He will probably give his kids Swedish names. See now that isn't even funny either. Why wouldn't he and Amanda give their children Swedish names? They ARE Swedish. Very poor work on my part. Sorry, Jorgen.

* Jorgen couldn't pick a boxing winner if he had Biff's book and Butch Coolidge was in the fight.

* I had to look up Butch Coolidge's last name. I go the extra mile for this blog.

* Chris Bennett is smart.

* He is smarter than you are.

* He is the smartest guy in the history of this town.

* I know all this because he personally told me.

* Scott likes to gamble. And drink. And look at naked ladies. And criticize other people's money management when he drastically fluctuates his units and bet amounts based on him having the day off and/or him being at the game in person.

I love Scott.

* It's entirely possible that Matt taught himself how to read and write.

* Jeff reads the blog. A lot.

When he's not watching old highlight reels of the Williams sisters.

* Ed hates the following things:

Everything.

Except Tom Brady.

* I like Ryan Howard, LeBron James, Alex Ovechkin, Carl Edwards, and Maya Moore.

And I love the Washington Redskins.

Sometimes.

Very rarely, actually.

I hate the Redskins.

I don't like anyone else in the sports world.

* I gamble almost every day and am incredibly bad at it and desperately wish that I could stop.

* I hate gambling.

* My Mom is a wonderful woman who loves her children more than anything in the world. Well except the dog.

She is also completely insane.

* Others have tried to blog alongside me. They have all failed. Not going to name names but Andrew Ross, Michael Miller, Christopher Bennett, and Christopher Graham know who they are.

* Sorry, guys.

* It's going to be really hard to bang out another year of this pointless drivel.
