Ideas for DJ's Blog

Today I shamelessly checked my blog for new comments (yes, I am that needy apparently) and saw one from Dan Josh. His comment was, not to my surprise, money in the bank. That's especially important because good comments can push a decent entry to excellence. But anyhow, I started thinking about his involvement with the blogosphere and how I always hound him to post more so I have stuff to read while I'm at Da Lab working. I decided making a list of possible post topics may inspire him to write up a freshy.

1)The Best/Worst Ideas for Fantasy Team Names
After getting lambasted for my old fantasy team name, "Ry for Ry", he laid the abuse on Jake for "Chase-ing Utley", which I actually think isn't bad for the record. But the man always has something to say about whatever your team name is, so this subject would be a potentially good post.

2)A List of the Best Lyricists of all time
I created quite a stir by once calling Eminem a "top-3 lyricist all time" on my personal list. He could make a top-10 or 20 or however many he wanted to illustrate the point that Eminem should not be even close to the top. Then I could make a counter-post about my top-10 and he would be so outraged it would lead to yet another post, getting his blog really rolling.

3)An Idiots guide to Hockey (and/or the NHL)
The kid may know more about the sport than all the hockey analysts on ESPN and WIP combined, which actually wouldn't say too much...but trust me, he knows a fair amount. I would say that the average American is pretty ignorant on the ins and outs of the game. I would even go so far as to say that the average sports fan is not as versed in the rules and rosters as they could be. This would be a nice building block post also.

4)Thoughts on Marriage at Our Age
D has more close friends getting tied up in the near future, or even presently in the state, than anyone on the planet. He could provide valuable insights on early- 20s nuptial behavior. The Ups and Downs of finding that special someone, and the changes that occur in the transition from pre-ring exchange to post.

5)Co-Author "Knights Out at Bars"
He could join me in my niche-blog I hope to start about DC graduate life, "Knights Out at Bars." We both have stayed pretty in-the-loop with big events that have happened since out 2004 Commencement. Plus we are 2 of Tom Houghton's finest, and he would clearly give us a plug in the school newspaper "Knight Life," no doubt opening the door to countless Newtown Square writing opportunities.

On a side note, unrelated to the bulk of today's subject matter, I can never seem to escape facebook's mind control of people my age. Bah, nevermind, I am deciding to avoid a rant and save myself the wasted time. Life's to short to be big-time bothered by little-time annoyances. I'm going to stick to the real issues. Like Little Gherkin's blog. Done and done.
