At least my hair will look super good. Maybe I shouldn't wear a helmet on the biking portion.
And now, your Pictures and Distractions.

Thank you Eli. I needed this today.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know we're all going to be drooling over Matt now... just sayin'.
Good luck at SG!

Um . . . so Matt is incredibly good looking.
ReplyDeleteYes. I stalked him on Instagram (Eli posted this picture the other day there and tagged him). He is a beautiful man. An unbelievably beautiful man.
DeleteHotty Instagram claim confirmed!
DeleteI think you're looking at the Iron Man the wrong way. Instead of thinking of "crying" and "Hell on Earth," think of the beauty of the course, being there with your friends, and about how prepared you are! Even if you don't make it I think it will still be a worthwhile experience. Imagine hearing the words "You are an Iron Man!!!" To me, at least, that would make it all worthwhile. And think about all the bragging you could do!
ReplyDeleteOh, this post gave me a good idea (as in trying not to dwell on the negative). Pretend you're Iron Man. First, go and buy one of those Iron Man masks from Toys R Us. Then, when you start the race walk around telling everyone you're Tony Stark...playboy billionaire. And when the race starts make all these mechanical noises like your putting on your Iron Man suit, then stick the helmet on you got from the store and run the marathon saying stuff like "out of the way citizens...I am here to protect you" or something like "AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!". Cool things like that. It'll take your mind off of the race if you cosplay your way through it.

DeleteYou know Utah was voted the geekiest place in the US, this probably would go over very well at the Ironman!
DeleteOh my gosh, the Summertime video -- it's like Awkward Family Photos coming to life, singing, walking, dancing, swimming, right before your eyes! And the lyrics, oh my, how clever!!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, your pictures of Utah look quite beautiful right now. Please post more pictures, I love the landscape and all the greenery. I can't believe how green it is there already. We got another bout of snow last night. :( It's all melting already but it was nice to see your pictures of green grass and trees with leaves.
ReplyDeleteSomeone once used a variation of one of the conversation starters on me, it went something like this "some people have really bad teeth, but you don't your teeth are just fine so don't let anyone ever tell you, you need braces." It was very confusing, but I suppose it sort of made conversation...
ReplyDeleteEven if your hair looks Ah-MAZE-ing (which it will, duh), please wear a helmet! We don't want your beautifully wacky brain being knocked into an ordinary, boring state!
ReplyDeleteAlso, if I ever come to Utah, can I please be your friend? Art night? So fun! (And so are going to owl seminars to make bad jokes, and hunting for Easter eggs, and being anywhere near the crazy things you and your friends do!)
Why are all your friends so attractive??
ReplyDeleteSeeing the borsh you made makes me proud! Since I am from Ukraine... :))
ReplyDeleteBrian, you are pure evil. I'm making my Facebook friends watch, too, but I only told them the name of the video and sent them to youtube without a link. Maybe I'm pure evil, too. But Francie, thank you for the graphs! LOL! ()
ReplyDeleteI could never thank you enough for the worst music video in the world!
ReplyDeleteYou should probably auction off Matt for a date. You'd get a lot of bidders...haha
ReplyDeleteOh my heck. I started watching the worst music video ever made, played it for a client because he earned YouTube time at the end of his session, and he plugged his ears and started rocking back and forth and moaning; I had to shut it off before we got a full minute in, because it was so distressing unto him. Of course, I had to watch the whole damn thing when he left; I ought not have finished. I should've just walked away and followed client's lead, because that. was. heinous. The sad thing is, the poor adolescents in the video don't realize how sad it is. Eesh. So...thanks (?) to Brian and Eli. I suppose ;)
