Bring it Back

I promised myself I would get back into the swing of daily blogging, not for the purpose of reciting my dumb stories, but mainly because I need to practice how to tell them if I want to be Tina Fey someday.

So bare with me as I practice her Bossypants style.

I need to do this chapter by chapter and idea by idea, because I tend to be all over the place. Oh! look an ant. And half the time people stop listening to me before I even open my mouth; cut to the Chase Manfull.

I'll probably begin my future book with a little background information, casual this-that's that no one really cares about but feel obligated to read. I'll probably being by saying that I'm from Iowa, which is where the readers smile will fade and they'll picture me as a corn cob driving a tractor for the following pages. Then I'll make up some facts because my mom stopped putting things in the baby book at the age of four (she's cool. I like her). I'll have to improvise and say that I was beyond my years and was reading Junie B. Jones by the age of 2 or something like that.

yeah, that sounds like it should sum up the obligatory part of my past.

Then I'll go ahead and send in my application for Toddlers-in-Tiaras because thats obvious.

Thank you, Dad.

Although there are millions of men and women who deserve endless amounts of praise and thanks for all that they have done for our country, there is one special guy I'd like to thank especially. My dad. It's been years since the man has seen combat, or even been in the cock-pit of his most prized Huey Helicopter, but that hasn't stopped him from sharing his memories with me. Ironically the idiot joined the Marine Corps on a dare by his college roommates, but that dare turned into something much more than a whim.  After more than a decade spent serving our country, my father left the Corps as a Major, and would be one of the highest ranked Marines today if it weren't for me. My dad gave up his career in the military so I wouldn't have to move from place to place, fighting to fit in and becoming detached from society. My dad gave up so much to simply be my dad, and that's something I will never be able to express my complete gratitude for.  My dad i...

Sam Ponder is just too Cool

If there's one thing I want to be in life, besides the co-host of Good Morning America, I want to be the next Sam Ponder . She's incredibly talented, creative, real, and she married seemingly the most perfect human specimen on the planet. I had to write a profile on someone in sports media, and obviously I chose this cool chick. Check it out, even if you don't know who she is, I can guarantee you that you'll want to be her best friend.  So here's to you Sam Ponder, if I ever get the chance to meet you I'll for sure bring some Arby's and an ugly sweater. 5 Reasons Samantha Ponder is not Living in Erin Andrews’ Shadow Erin Manfull She’s the sideline reporter for ESPNU College GameDay, she hosts ESPNU pregame, game, and post game events, she’s beautiful, she’s blonde, and she’s not Erin Andrews. Sam Ponder may have replaced the iconic ESPNU sideline reporter, Erin Andrews, but she’s on track to separate herself from A...

Why we can learn from our dogs.

Beyoncé once asked, "Who run the world?", and she then answered for all of us when she obviously said, "Girls"...I mean it's true, we (as a collective gender) gave birth to the world. However, I think Queen Bey forgot something very important when it comes to people, and those who rule it--it would be impossible to run anything if you didn't have (hu)man's best friend by your side. Not only do dogs selflessly provide us with something to pet and keep us warm at night, but they provide us with undeniable and unrelenting love and affection. It would be pretty lonely ruling the world without a dog there to put a little pep into your step. It seems silly, really, that dogs don't get any credit for making the world a better place. It also seems silly that I'm even thinking about dogs ruling the world (hey, that's not a horrible idea). But I think there's some value into considering that while humans can change a dogs life, it's just as...
