The Adventures of Brad and Jordan

I almost started this post by saying, “Sorry about not posting in so long…” But who am I kidding? It’s my blog. I’m not that sorry. I’ve been busy, deal with it.

Now starts the real post.

I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to yell at you back there.

Okay, now here it comes.

Are you ready?

The most recent powerball winner of $230+ million was from South Dakota. Crazy right? Here’s my 23,000,000,000 cents on the subject:

In the past few days I’ve had this conversation several times, “What would you do with the money?” Here’s what I’ve come to figure out - no matter what your answer is… you’re wrong. You have no idea what you would do if you won that much money, because it’s an incomprehensible amount of coin.

Here’s my checklist:
1. Don’t have a heart attack after reading and rereading winning numbers.
2. Don’t get murdered before claiming said cash.
3. Watch everyone you’ve ever met get money signs in their eyes.
4. Receive financial advice from everyone that talks to you.
5. Take one million, bury it, and make a treasure map.

Obviously I joke, but that really is because I have no idea what I would do.

Speaking of money, Blink 182 tickets go on sale this Friday I think. If you want to go let Jordan or I know. gillis27@gmail.com or btyler182@gmail.com will work. Or Facebook us. Or yell really loud and see if we’re close enough to hear you.

My sister Beth is graduating high school today. Her GPA is over a 4.0. Outstanding.

What does that being that smart mean for her? Well even though she is basically getting a full ride to college, she isn’t smart enough to not listen to her brother when he tells her to wear a pirate eye patch.

Call your mom or do something nice for her. One or the other, not both.

Here’s the only picture I could find of me and my ma. Unfortunately the rest of my family ruins the picture.

On a fun side note: I found that picture off of the best put together website in the world. My mom’s. I made it for her back in the late 90’s and it hasn’t changed since.

Facebook added a new language to their settings list. Pretty good stuff. Here’s an example of a couple people liking my status.

I have lived with 24 different people in my life. Next month that number will grow to 26. Only five of those were family members (parents, sisters, and grandpa).

This has no pertitent meaning; I just thought it was interesting.

My house mate broke his wrist playing football. I am not feeling very sympathetic today.

It’s all in good fun. Now excuse me, I’m off to laugh at the homeless.

Eminem has a new video out. I usually enjoy his music - but this song not so much. However, if you throw your computer on mute and watch this video I promise you’ll be entertained.

He went the same route as Weezer did with their Pork and Beans video. If you throw in hot topics and things people relate to, you have a successful video.

If you’re really bored here is the Weezer song I was talking about, and in my opinion one of the best music videos ever made (but I love the internet).

As a side note - both the Twins and Michigan St. lost last night. Why do I watch sports when they never make me happy?

I remember that Blink 182 had a song in the 1999 hit, American Pie. I remember the scene - vividly - and telling my friends, “That’s Blink-182 playing!” I was shouting it like I was their producer and they were a band that had no business getting play in a huge movie.

What I don’t remember is that they acutally had a cameo apperence in the movie.

For all of these things, I am sorry Mark, Tom, and Travis. You deserved more from me.

My sincerest appologies,
Jason Biggs… err… Brad Tyler

Yesterday Brad and I made this little sketch.

I would have posted yesterday, but youtube wasn’t being friendly.
