Kudos....
Kudos today goes out to the Wives, Girlfriends, and other special women in our lives. Ladies I have to admit its tough being a guy these days with all of the things we have to deal with. Especially for me this past year as sports fan My Bears Missed the playoffs by one game My Wolverines had the worst season ever. There were days that I couldnt hold my head high and look at USC, Viking, and the God awful Irish, and Buckeye fans out there. The fact that we have those shoulders to cry on at times is very much appreciated. I love the fact that I never have to wash those nasty socks, boxers that i just took off. I know my wife in particular hates when I go "do my thing" in the bathroom, just fresh off of her on her hands and knees prior cleaning it up. I love the fact that when its time to out of town I never have to worry about what I am gonna wear and packing a suitcase, when i'd rather play Xbox. We also appreciate that when you pick up a book and go in another room to allow us time to play for an hour and a half when I know you would rather be talking to me about your day. So here is to you ladies for the times that we should say "Thanks Babe" instead of "whats for dinner."

Christina's Corner for today
In response to the 2 previous blogs:
Women, you're not gonna like me. I don't care though. I'm not a relationship "expert" but with 6 years of being with the x-box loving, comic book reading, movie go-er guy I've learned a thing or 2.
Men are simple. They have simple pleasures. I've learned it's better to just pay the extra money and have cable put in the master bedroom so that while David (my husband) does his daily 2 to 2 1/2 hour daily x-box time I can busy myself with watching reruns of Bones or Kendra. I found that having this time is to my benefit. I can sneak my secret stash of Ben and Jerry's into the room and eat until I'm about to puke, come back and hide it without him even realizing that I was in the room. I have to do "temp checks" on my husband though because if he's winning then I know I can probably talk him into taking me out for dinner, if he's losing then I know I should probably not bring up the $65 I spent at Target and I promptly go to hide the bags.
Here's the thing girls- and again, you're not going to like me- men are trained from birth to drown out the sound of a woman's voice. There are only a few topics that your guy is bound to really open his ears to and thats drinking, sex and sports. If your topic of conversation doesn't involve prefferably 2 of those 3 things then you aren't likely to hold their attention for too long. Women, including myself, are somehow prone to only give our guys the run down of the drama in our livess. They don't care what the girl in the hall said to you about your dress, they don't care what your coworkers did that annoyed the crap out of you (unless it's about a male coworker making a pass at you and now he's invested in beating the crap out of this guy....or if a woman coworker made a pass at you but that brings up a whole other conversation usually starting with him asking you "is she hot?"). Women tend to drama dump, I'll be the first to admit it.
The strategy to getting them to listen:
again, the 3 main topics a man will listen to is sex, drinking and sports....and food. I did forget food. I find it easier to grab David's attention from a game when I have a plate of dinner in front of him. while he's eating I go through my day. If I offer him a "favor" after he listens to me talk then I notice he's more invested in the conversation. If I let him go back to his video game after the favor then he's more likley to remember that and do what I want to do that weekend. you just have to have a game plan. Talking to a guy takes a strategy. Now guys, you're not going to like this one- but for doing this we expect a lot from you. The rule is, for every $65 dollar x-box game you own, we are allowed a pair of $65 shoes. Don't come to us saying we have too many shoes when the games you have outnumbers my footwear.

Todays G.A.S. Award for today is...
Todays G.A.S. Award goes out to all the people out there who have Ringtone Call Tones. Its probably not a good idea to have Snoop, Too Short or some loud Rock song on your cell. You never know who is gonna call you. Especially when you are looking for a job or there is a professional phone call your waiting on. Your not gonna get that job that you wanted because when they called the supervisor or recruiter could only hear "Rollen Down The Street... Smokin Indo... Sippin on Gin and Juice...." Cmon People we have to do better.
Things we just don't get
The thing I just don't get about my Fiancée is that she insists on having the most in-depth conversations when I am trying to play video games. I am not sure if she understands that this is my sanctuary, my get-away, my journey into things I cannot actually do. Like throw grenades at friends, play college and pro football, and drive a golf ball 340 yards (straight). These are things I like to do for about 2 hours a day. Yup that's it. Two hours is all I ask. But noooooooooooooo, this is not to happen in my household at the times that I would like it to.
Here is how it works. I get home from work, belly up on the couch and get ready for a good gaming experience. Usually I am enjoying myself, calling in air strikes on Call of Duty Modern Warfare and carpet bombing the hell out of a bunch of 9 year olds that like to play this game too (online). About an hour into the session I usually receive a phone call from a certain someone. This is about the time where I attempt to listen to what is going on in my ear on the phone but I am to focused on the next gutting of my opponents. *Just to let everyone know, I do like to talk to her and listen to her day but there are certain times I need to just play. I mean, we are getting old and I can't do this forever (even though I will attempt to)* Ok, back to the phone call. She will KNOW I am playing but still insist on talking to me about what happened today or who upset her. She will begin the story, go through the entire thing, and not get the proper feedback from me that she was looking for. Once this happens, it is all down hill. I will try to attempt to say "No, I was listening I promise!" even though I have no clue what she just said to me. This leads to about a half hour of her being annoyed with me. This today is what I just don't get!
Can I be a man for 2 hours? Love ya babe!

Things That We Just Dont Get
Okay this topic today is about our lovely Wives, Girlfriends. I really dont get when my wife tells me that she has plans to do something that she plans with her friends almost a week early, in most cases I am always cool with that. This paticular time it was a great time for her to go hang because I really wanted to get some Xbox time in. You see we guys need that time every once in a while to recharge and recoup from some of just the senseless things we go thru as a partner from all the blind auto pilot listening that we have to do. So we cherish those moments, but then the day of the event your lady calls you while your in the middle of the second quarter of drilling some kid from Iowa in Madden to tell you that there has been a change of plans and now you have been invited to go to dinner with Her and some of friends instead. To put the topping on it you only have a half hour to get ready for it.... So do you be the charming guy that you can be and just say sure Babe no problem I will be there and go and absolutely hate the entire night. Or do you just turn into my good man Al Bundy and tell her exactly wht time it is? If you do that it could be the making of a possible two day Civil War between you two and they always want to whip out the Nukes... For me it wasnt worth that. I chose (A) I turned on the sure Babe I will be there mode. I just dont get that....

Wolverines Vs Noles
Okay I figured that once I put on here who my Team was that I would take some heat from people. I can take that no problem, but when you are talking about my team you better make sure that yours is a contender.... The Noles? A program that is under investigation for all types of things... yeah in the 90's they were pretty good had a few good players Ward, Winke, Brooks, etc. but when you put them up against the Wolverines... Like my man Keyshawn Johnson says "Cmon Maan...." This IS the alltime winning program. Staduim seats the largest crowd in the country. Way more All Americans, Hiesman winners, Pro Players the list goes on and on. Yeah we had a bad year 3-9. Overall the Noles wont compete. Bobby Bowden wishes he had that type of program . (a clean one at least)

Christina's Corner (The Chick that sits near me and Ed)
Before I give you the back-story of Mike and Edwin's blogs, let me first begin with the back-story of the back-story.
I have the pleasure of working within earshot of Mike and Edwin. Every morning I wake up and think to myself "today is the day I am going to be productive and get some much needed work done". It never fails that only 10% of my day is actually work and the other 90% is listening in on the rantings of these two. It's a "take the good with the bad" kind of concept. The good side being I can come to work knowing I'm going to probably laugh my ass off at something either highly offensive or highly entertaining. The bad side is that my numbers will prove to you just how much of my time is spent laughing and not on the phones. On a really good, unproductive day, I will hear conversations about the women in their lives (the days Johnny joins in are probably my favorites). I can brag to you that I am asked my opinion on matters of party throwing, arguments and the dynamics of a married (or practically married) couple. There are days where I can tell my words are taken to heart and then there are days where Mike forgets to turn his back to me before he rolls his eyes. To give you a better understanding of how my relationship is to M and E let me tell you how this came about- Mike came up to me asking me if I'd be a 3rd voice to this blog. Only to debate whether or not he wanted to give me the password. Needless to say this story is so that he can "proof read" what I'm writing before it's posted for all your eyes to see.
I think because of this dynamic relationship between the three of us is why I've been asked to commentate on the goings on of Mike and Edwin. You need a 3rd party perspective, otherwise this stuff doesn't make much sense. Not only are you getting a 3rd party perspective, but it is also the perspective of a married, 23 year old woman (what?! NO!? How come?!) Well suck it up boys. I'm here to tell you how silly, moronic and absolutely hilarious this stuff is. I'm not afraid to call any of them a Ruh-tard.
I don't know much about sports, at least football. I'm a hockey girl through and through. Consider me the Hannah Storm of this blog. I don't even know who she is, Mike told me about her. I guess it's more or less the woman back seat driver.

On the Clock..... Madden 10
On the Clock for today is EA Sports newest installment of John Madden 10. Release date is Aug. 14, for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii. I know that there will be Men and maybe some women that will call out of work to get ahead of the competion. Madden is the best football game thats out there, so far I. I hope EA dosent let me down, for those who are on the Xbox version I will be putting my gamer tag out there so I can send out my Daily dosage of whoopings on all comers. One thing I am not too sure about is the Ratings that I have been seeing on ESPNs Video Game ratings on their website. They give lots of good ratings to the unproven rookies and terrible unfair ones for somne of the leagues Vets. We will see how it all turns out in a few weeks.

Feel free to post topic ideas in our comments section we will be more than happy to talk about it tomorrow. Unless it is stupid.
Day One
Whats up world! Welcome to the minds of Mike and Edwin. We started this Blog to hear what the people would say about some of the great topics that we agree and sometimes disagree on everyday. From Football, Basketball, to Wives, and Girlfriends, Even just plain stupid people we come encounter with, will all be talked about here. So if you are easily offended by "Some" curse words, rude comments and up front in your Face "Ditka and Bo" approach please leave now....
With that being said Football off season is by far the worst. Its been a very interesting past year for me with UM Football being in toilet to Chi Town finally replacing Jim McMahon with the young Jay Cutler. To the release of the CEO of " Bad News Cennals" Mike Vick. I cant wait to see whats gonna happen. What I do know is.. Rich Rod is on my hot seat and I still think T.O. squats when he pees (His Show Sucks by the way) hope you like Buffalo. Can we say good bye, bye to 1,000 yards seasons?
I hope you guys enjoy what I think will be the beginning of something great here from two guys from some what two different worlds... That have a "I dont care what you think cause your stupid" approach on people come together. We are Here World!

Day one
Well, we are open for traffic. This is myself and Edwin's first venture into blogging. I am not a big fan of it but it is a way to get interesting day to day topics we discuss here at work out to the world.
Day 1
Out first topic..........................
The long summer with no football.
As Ed and I sit here at work "changing lives" everyday we sit here and ponder why the NFL and college football off seasons are so damn long. First thing we do every morning when we get here is 1.) Edwin jumps on http://www.espn.com/ 2.) I jump on http://www.chicagobears.com/ This is pretty much our morning for the first hour to hour and a half. Edwin likes to read the banter of the talking heads over there at ESPN while I myself like to get right on the Bears message board and listen to all of the "we are going after Plax or we are trading Briggs and a second rounder for Marshall". That is the typical stuff on the Bears message board that I suffer through everyday.
Well back to the topic of the day! The NFL off season is way too long. I can't even count how many times I have said that to myself. I can only watch Jay Cutler youtube videos so many times before I get tired of them. I can only watch the highlight video of the 2006 Bears team so many times http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6205418922373564512&q=2006+chicago+bears&ei=VVJ2SL6fCoqUrgLP5rWiCw&hl=en. Well i don't really want to type too much more today!!! I believe Edwin will be hitting up the blog here pretty soon. Stay tuned.................................................

Rich Rod was a mistake at Michigan!!!!
