We May Be New But We Have Much to Say

My four friends and I dreamed of having a website. Why? Well, because we think we are funny, topical, insightful, etc. Who doesn't really?

The bad thing is, we are all busy family types (save one) who just don't have the time to create, host, administer and all that comes along with it. So, given the fact the economy is in the toilet and I lost my job because of it, well...I'm taking the bull by the horns and starting it here. This may not be the grandiose vision we all had in mind...but it's better than nothing.

So, what will you get when you check out our site? Actually, I'm not sure...we may be the only five people who ever see it. But, this is what I know of my four best friends:

One is a very intelligent music man. He can tell you all about Patti LaBelle, Mike Love of the Beach Boys and Kings of Leon...all in the same conversation. If he wasn't pretty successful in business, married outside of himself and decent in most social settings we'd probably have him diganosed as a savant. His savant skills do not translate to numbers or gambling...expect humor in this department. He's also kind of politically savvy. A mixed bag if you will.

My next friend is the same as above only with sports. He's the guy that springs for the Insider package on ESPN and knows the NFL draft front and back. He's also the only one of us with a voice of reason...this has served us well, when we listen to it (read: rarely).

Next is the guy everyone has in their crew. He's good at breaking things and generally making an ass of himself. All of that belies the fact that he's a great Dad and husband and is pretty handy with computers and electricity...something the rest of us know to never mess with. He's also a great friend and very reliable. His comments are generally hysterical (albeit lacking in grammar skills).

Last, other than me of course, is our friend who does things like the Ironman so he can call of us names. Seriously, I don't think he liked it...he just gets a lot of mileage from most of us who get winded from our seats at the Trop to the beer line. He's also a pretty smart guy who is finishing up service to his country to come home and play with his friends. Oh, and he's really, really locked down when it comes to things being in order.

Then there is me...the host because I took the initiative. That means I get to say whatever I want about myself and it has to be true...right? Well, in reality if you took all of the four above and mashed them down like they do the bacon at Waffle House, you would get me. At any point, of any day I can have tendencies that touch everything above. That makes me special as far as I am concerned.

So there you have it...we'll be posting whenever the time is right. Look back for music, concert, restaurant and nightlife reviews, sports takes, lifestyle rants, and more. We may even entertain you with the email conversation of the week or something...because what do five guys with good jobs do during the day to pass the time...they email.

Long enough...out until next time.
