The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
1. A tree fell on my car- The Bad

It was a beautiful sunny Friday in Canton Baltimore. I had gotten a ride to work that day because I was having car trouble and it just wasn't safe having a car cutting off on 83 at a high rate of speed. A co-worker that lives in my Brewer's Hill neighborhood picked me up that morning. Ironically, this was the first time meeting her. Blah blah work goes on. It's the night of an O's game so traffic is slow going. As we near my house she says "wait which one is your house again?" to which I answered "right where that fucking tree is on my car." LaFawnduh is no longer with us.
2. The Return of the McRib- The Good
Some say it's gross. I say they're gross. Always loved it and will embrace it in my face upon it's return each time. I'm so glad to know that I have a McRib alliance in my life these days. We're like the Kiss Army but with out make-up. It mostly involves smearing McRib sauce on our faces and touching ourselves. Come back soon you delicious riblet.

3. I catch my ass on fire- The Ugly
In a perfect storm of ridiculous and probability, this is a true story. Whatever you do, DO NOT have two packs of matches in your back pocket. It's dangerous. It was getting late and I was one of perhaps six people in the bar. I was at a table with the owner and another friend. As I slid off my stool, someone behind me said "what's that smell?" I was feeling my left ass cheek warming up. I looked over my left shoulder to see smoke coming out of my pocket. I reached in pulled out the two packs of on fire matches and slammed them on the table. In a miracle that only a baby angel can provide, I was not burned and neither were my pants. It's why I'm called the "Silent Genius."
4. Baby Skylar Beats Cancer- The Good
Jewely, one of my dearest kindest friends in the whole world, got unfortunate news this summer. Her five year old nephew was diagnosed with Leukemia and was ordered to treatment immediately. He spent his summer vacation getting chemo. While playing at the pool he had an accident and cracked his head open which called for staples. School started....still on chemo. A short story that seemed really long, we recently found out that Skylar is cancer free!
5. Getting Broken Up With Via Text Message- The Ugly
Not only did this happen, it happened while I was in Germany.(yes, a foreign country) In a perfect act of cowardice and a grown-up fail...true story. In other news, it might be time to bring back the blog "red flag." A hit from the beginning of my blog. Please refer to my "The Awesomeness of Dating...I Know You're Reading This" entry. I have one rule to dating for myself really..."never bet against your own team." Kim rule following fail. Two red flags, first date. When you hear these words "you know we're getting married right" or "iIhave federal drug chargers for cocaine" there shouldn't be a second date. At the end of the day, a text message when you're 30 years old to break-up with someone with whom a few days earlier you spoke to about moving in with and with whom you were constantly planning your future with is...well...enter your own descriptor here. Man fail=Kimbo win. Bullet dodged. I guess we can also label this one "the good."
6. Ben Rothlisberger Finally Gets That Tampon He Needs- The Good
It was a little different than the one he usually needs as this one was for his nose. One highly esteemed Mr. Haloti Ngata of the Baltimore Ravens honored his request with a good old fashion nose break. And for this, we salute you Mr. Ngata.


7. My Gig Writing for Splice Today- The Good
Though short lived it was a nice fun paid writing gig to shit my scantily clad logical view about the worldwide web. They range from sports stories to pop culture to politics. Below are the links to all of my stories, several in the top 5...what? what!?

8. James Madison beats Virginia Tech- The Good
I've met a lot of people in my life who don't know that James Madison is a university. They do now. Boy I miss Harrisonburg sometimes as demonstrated in the video below. (nice little minute montage of the old days) Proud of my Dukes!
9. I can ride my bike with the handlebars backwards- The Good and The Ugly
Picture it, night of Oktoberfest party, Baltimore, 2010. A nice little party, after I had already drank for breakfast and lunch, and we've decided to play cornhole, bags or whatever you know it as. An owner of a local watering hole wants to play with us. We set up only to realize that the cat of one of my friend's roommates has peed on the beanbags. After trying to play with rubber gloves and me vomiting, (I'm not good with smells) we halt. After letting some drunk girls throw a couple because we thought it was funny they were throwing pee bags without knowledge, I made a move. I called another local pub and was lent a bike to go get the bags. I get there, get the bags, come out and can't figure out what the hell is wrong with the handle bars. This said, I had to get back. Picture it..me riding down one way streets, braking with my thumbs and giggling. I get back to proclaim that "I broke the bike and don't know what happened." I hop off, they promptly just turn the handlebars around. This was the night I saved bags. There may or may not have been other factors involved.(read this like a warning at the end of a pharmaceutical commercial)

10. I Finally see Muse live- The Good
Last but not least...I had tickets to see Muse with my friend Marjorie when I lived in LA. We had bomb seats because we worked for Warner Brothers so...you know. I decided to move to TX and missed the damn show. That was nearly 4 years ago. Finally in March I got to see Muse at 1st Mariner Arena which is nice and small. I can honestly say it was one of the best live shows I have ever, ever seen. Thanks Muse. You melted my face. I can't find any pics of the show right now but all I can say is LASER BEAMS!
And that concludes my top ten of twenty ten. May 2011 be filled with mishaps, awesomeness and assholes so I have something to write about. Peace y'all!
