1. Happy Monday! I actually have nothing negative to say. Okay, I’m lying. Death, dismemberment, stock crash, and toejam. Better?

2. You know you may not have spent the 3-day weekend wisely when you have to go back and summarize exactly what you did with your time.

3. I could really use a Free Willy moment. Maybe a killer whale will jump out of my Red Bull this AM & inspire the salvation of my art career.

4. I often wonder if there was no such thing as beer, whether or not I’d have had about 2000 more productive evenings over the past 10 years.

5. Sorry Dos Equis, the most interesting beer drinking man in my house is me. I am also the only man in my house. But I drink much better beer

6. If I ever run into the dancing fake old man from Six Flags, I will appropriately pummel him to the ground and steal his keychain viewfinder.

7. I find that I despise most TV commercials I see nowadays. Does this mean I’ve become too cynical to be included in the target demographic?

8. Reality Check for Dummies: Lots of people die every day. It’s only when a whole handful of celebrities die that most people take notice.

9. This morning’s SomBlock is sponsored by my gas grill, because it owes me big time after the 10 lbs of burgers it made me eat this weekend.
