I am officially the biggest loser.
The on again/off again Biggest Loser contest held at my work ended this week, and I finished in 1st place with a final result of 21 lbs. Not too bad. For finishing in first place I won $45 and a free lunch. I haven't decided yet what to do with my money. I'll either add it to my gambling stash for the cruise or buy Staind/Shinedown/Chevelle tickets. Tough call.
I told those fools at my work they were making a mistake letting me compete with them. I don't lose weight loss bets when there's money on the line. Or lunch. I didn't even really try and I still won.
I'm the biggest loser, baby! But we all knew that.

Random Thoughts
When I woke up this morning, I immediately began sifting through my memories of the previous night like I always do after a night of heavy drinking. And as always, my general sense of the evening was that I was a loud, inarticulate buffoon. Somewhere between sobriety and drunken foolery is the happy median of lowered inhibitions and fluid communication that I long for. Unfortunately, it's probably somewhere around 2.5 drinks. I shudder at the thought of moderation.
-- Speaking of vices, I foresee a very interesting dilemma arising while cruising Alaska in a few weeks. The closer we get to the trip the clearer our spending budget is, and it looks like Steph and I will have a little less personal spending cash than I thought. So here's what I'm wondering- which of my vices is going to win out on the cruise, drinking or gambling? With the limited budget, one of the two activities won't get nearly as much attention as it deserves. At first I thought I'd spend a lot less on gambling and leave most of my money for booze. Now I'm not so sure. Reading about the ship's casino online I found out that on some voyages they have Texas Hold 'Em tournaments, and there's no way I'm missing out on that. Plus, could I really pass up a chance to roll the bones? Not likely. But somethings gotta give, and I can't imagine walking around the boat without a drink in my hand. Damnation, what a mind fuck. It's like trying to choose between tits and ass.
-- As some of you have already heard, I recently scored Broncos tickets from one of my co-workers who's a season-ticket holder. She's not going to be able to make the week four game against the Dallas Cowboys, so she sold the tickets to me. I'm terribly excited about it. I can't wait to have the chance to scream at Josh McDaniels in person! Maybe I should wear my Cutler jersey to the game.
-- Check out this article posted on yahoo. It's about a bank teller who chased down a bank robber and lost his job for it. Silly bank teller. He should have known better, but I can sympathise with him.
