Everyone wants to ride on the coattails of the Moment with Will’s success. On a recent venture to the Morning Call website, I had a look at the featured Blogs and to my surprise I noticed A Moment with Ted Williams. Could it be who is argued the greatest hitter in the history of baseball? No, he died in 2002. Instead, he is a journalist for the Morning Call. He writes about this and that, I don’t know I wasn’t really reading it but good for him. Don’t click the link below. http://blogs.mcall.com/a_moment_with_ted_william/ Meat Friday is in full effect. Last week was a good time. We are keeping it low key this week and going back to basics. That’s all I got.

Today, my co-worker and I had lunch at Dave’s Deli & Gelato in Bethlehem off of Stoke Park Road. I have to say the food was good. However, it is a little pricey. I had Dave’s Favorite, which is Cajun Roast Beef, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, and Cajun Mayo on a Portuguese Roll for $5.95. The sandwich was very good. The problem is that the sandwich does not include anything else but two pickle slices. They could at else include a handful of chips for $5.95. On a positive note, Dave’s Deli makes Gelato. Gelato is Italian for Ice Cream. Dave’s Deli Gelato is made daily and has 4-7% fat in the cream flavors and less then 2% fat in the fruit flavors I had a flavor called Bacio which is Chocolate Hazelnut. It was awesome. Check out their website. www.daves-deli.com.

It’s another lovely Tuesday morning and I’m feeling confident about winning the lottery. I’ve got to win. I can feel it. I can only image my life after winning $135 million dollars, roughly $60 million after taxes. Honestly, what would I do? I wouldn’t need to work anymore and I could stay at home all day. I could only dream a life with no debt or responsibility. I can only remember a glimpse from childhood. Actually, I would start a sandwich shop. I would wear an apron and constantly have mustard under my thumbnail from making so many sandwiches. It would be great. That would be quite a life. People would start calling me the Sandwich Man or even better Mr. Sandwich. I could open multiple shops. That could be my legacy, sort of like Colonel Sanders. Anyways, I’m leaving the dreams behind. We had another successful Meat Friday. Joel brought some meat to make hamburgers. The hamburgers were awesome, thanks Joel. Thanks again to everyone who dropped by the house on Friday. We watched such an intense game too. Villanova and Boston College… What an awesome game. It’s a shame that Villanova is out of the tourney. There is always next year. Moving along, the Dolphins season may have playoff potential this year. I’m excited. However, they will be facing the defending Super Bowl Champs at Pittsburgh on the season opener. I will be watching. Until next time…

The Countdown to Cut the Comb Over begins.  Beginning, Friday, April 7, 2006, the Moment with Will will be taking donations to Cut the Comb Over. Background:  For roughly forty years, my father has rocked the comb over and I think it’s time for him to let it go.  But how you ask?  Of course the only way to motivate him is the legendary cold hard cash. The target is until my dad is satisfied with amount.  Tell your friends about the possibility of such a momentous event.  We have to hit this unknown goal. I will setup a PayPal account that people can give funds.  One dollar is plenty.  I will give updates weekly as to how much money was been made and whether or not my dad feels the amount is acceptable.   I will keep everyone posted, as the date gets closer.  I will even post pictures of the Comb Over in question. Until next time…    

This a Meat Friday update. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the menu for last 5 Meat Fridays but I thought it was time to make open promises. Open promises about how Joel and I will post more often. It is our responsibility to ensure that all the Meat Friday fans are well feed with Meat Friday gossip. Coming this Friday, March 24, 2006:

• A long lost friend will show his face. He is walking into a hornets’ nest of angry friends from the past. How will that transpire?
• See the further adventures of Will, Joel, and Eduardo. What will they do?
• Will Amy let the boys play video games?
• What’s on the menu?

See you all on Friday.

Don’t you hate it when you spill spaghetti sauce on your clothes?  Wouldn’t you know that I brought lunch to work for the first time ever and I spilled it all over my clothes?  Now I have crusty sauce all in the crouch of my pants.  I was almost tempted to tell my boss that I had an accident.  That would be funny, right?  That is definitely a good way to make an impression.  I won’t be known for a great job but just the guy who had sauce in his crouch. Anyways, the new job is going well.  I’ve been training for the last week or so.  Interestingly enough, someone I know from college is training me.  It’s a small world.  That eased a lot of the new job jitters. On another note, I hung out with an old friend.  It was quite an experience.  We haven’t spoken in close to two years for various reasons.  The whole evening made me wonder whether or not I should try to rekindle our old relationship.  He had close relationships with a lot of people and then turned his back on them.  Some people will continue to resent him for his actions but I think our night was productive.  I just let him have it for an hour.  I explained to him the results of his actions.  Especially how everybody felt betrayed and very hurt.  I think my comments finally made an impression on his thinking.  I hope that we can all move forward.  I feel very positive about the whole situation. Moving along, Meat Friday is planned as always.  I hope to you some people there to have fun and eat meat.  Whose meat you ask?  You will have to join us and see. By the way, I posted MWW Videos on www.ifilm.com and I’ve been getting a mediocre response except for one video.  The latest video that I read emails has been viewed about 1,700 times because of the image that is posted with the video.  By the way, I had no part in selecting the image of Rachel in her bikini to associate with the video.  Although, I did change the name of the video to “Topless on the Beach.”  Thanks Rachel for being a good sport about it. That is all I got for now, Will

This is my second to last day at my current job and I’m excited to try something new in a week or so. However, it’s difficult leaving behind co-workers who have become friends. I’ve built such great relationships with everyone that I wish I could stay. Sometimes we all make decisions that we don’t like. I have made a lot of those decisions especially when having to compromise on something that I feel so strongly about. Unfortunately, I can’t think of any examples. My Dad always told me that you have to look out for Number 1. Whose Number 2 work for? Anyways, his words are profound. You always have to think about yourself in life because no one will drag you along. I understand that marriage is about two people but what he is talking about is the real world. Not your circle of friends. You always hear the saying “Dog Eat Dog”, right? That is what he is talking about. Of course, everyone knows that. That is a principle of life. Rule 1: Take care of Number 1. Actually, it’s not that simple. How many times have you thought “I’m comfortable” or “I make just enough money”? I do it all the time because I like the atmosphere or the co-workers. The workload is always a factor. Why should we look out for Number 1 if that means more work. You can never get a job that pays more money and not require more work. Unless, you are a stripper or something and I can’t squeeze my cheesy ass into a thong. Maybe I’m off base. Something to think about, I guess. Sorry to put you through this. Peace out.
