Of all random days, today was kind of awesome. Please, let me explain:

First, an absolutely bee-you-ti-ful day, though I had to spend it at work, but I digress.

At work I spend a lot of time in my office, basically dicking around until someone needs me to do something; as such, I need to find ways to entertain  myself. I usually do this by spending my morning shifts listening to the Preston and Steve radio show on WMMR (site here). Every morning P&S have what they call the Lesson Question, in which they ask a question regarding something they discussed earlier on the show. If you remember, and are the right caller, you win a neat prize.

Well, kids, today I happened to be the right caller, and remembered that Steve was expecting to see the face of Phillies' centerfielder Shane Victorino gracing cans of Spam in the grocery store. Consequently, I nabbed a $50 gift certificate to this neat CC pub called Dr. Watson's (Doc Watson's).

What one must understand, of course, is that shit like this never, ever, happens to me. The fact that I called the contest line and the phone actually rang, is a victory in and of itself. Picking up, getting my name and putting me on hold was even better, and then actually giving me a prize, is pretty damn awesome. Yeah, I understand that it's not like I won a million bucks or a car or something, but it really made my day.

Oh and a special MITCOBL announcement, our next liveblogging experience will occur in 18 days, I'll let you do the math and figure out why that date will be important, but here's to hoping that the day goes down in history as the most pivotal day in my lifetime.

And even though I've been very clear about whom I support, remember it is essential that you vote, regardless of which party or candidate you are for. It's essential to everything America is about. And even if we can't agree on politics, we can all agree that this is pretty damn funny.
