Some Goals For A Socially Devoid Man

The Bucket List is a terrible movie. Not that I actually watched it, but it’s one of those movies you know is terrible and if you were to ask a critic, he would only confirm what you already knew.

However the film grossed over $173 million (surprising I know!) Lots of us have “bucket lists”, like my DC blogger pal Monica. I feel that it is time not for a bucket list; but a list of goals to help kickstart the social life I’ve missed so.

Goals To Regain A Life

• Watch “W” with Adam and LJ
• Watch a Capitals game
• Watch a Wizards game
• Party like it’s 1996 on Election Day
• Find a nearby corn maze
• Check out Lucky Strike Lanes
• Give Ethiopian food one more try
• Enjoy a Sunday brunch at Delhi Dhaba
• Reconnect with Rebecca, Adam, and crew
• Reconnect with Sarah, Falkor, Doug, Emily, and crew
• Watch a Patriots game with Wendi
• Catch up with Ian
• Catch up on my Netflix queue
• Take lots of time off and think about a Winter trip before the holidays

Ok now on to some news…

If you don’t already know, I am a writer for DC Metblogs- and I had lots of fun doing a live blog of the final Presidential Debates last week. Check out my post if you want to know all my thoughts on Joe the Plumber.

Last Thursday I took an amazing road trip to see an amazing man- there will be more details (and photos) sometime later this week.

While I was in Fitchburg on my last business trip I had dinner with Kim. Her new boy told us all the dangers of climbing Mount Everest which spurred a good hour of wikipedia-ing afterward. They also told me to watch an amazing SNL sketch- Mark Wahlberg talks to animals:

After watching the video and watching Game 6 of the ALCS I tuned into SNL, exciting to see what Sarah Palin was going to do. Here’s the gist of it:

Personally I thought it was funny but rather safe. Mark Wahlberg almost stole the show with that appearance. Check out this video to see what happens.

This week has been rather quiet as I try and rest up. However everything hasn’t been quiet around the house- but that story is for another day. Thursday Adam and I visited the Obama campaign office down the street. I wanted to check it out ahead of time since I wanted to volunteer some hours leading up to the big day. We ended up meeting some friendly faces and donating an hour to enter some data. We also walked away with tons of Obama swag. It was really cool- I am looking forward to helping out some more in the next two weeks.

I continued my Obama efforts yesterday when Adam, Meg, and I hit the streets in Sterling. We traveled out to Loudon County and walked the streets under not so pleasant conditions. Still it was fun to knock on doors and gage public opinion, I was surprised at first to encounter a lot of McCain supporters but after realizing that I was canvassing one of the richest counties in America; it all made sense. I think I’m going to pitch in with some office work the days leading up to the big day and hopefully make a difference and meet some new faces in the process.

So that was my past couple of weeks, to close it out I urge everyone to check out this amazing display of a Sarah Palin White House.
