Yeah. It's been a while since the last entry. At least I'm still managing to outperform David Delgado . My non-denominational Holiday break was composed of much celebration of a religious manner as well as my own personal church, the First Congregation of NetFlix. The tone was similar to one of those days when you were sick in Middle School. You had to wait until 3:30 when school got out to call a friend and get the homework assignment, and due to your illness you couldn't logically do anything physical. So you sat down on the couch with a glass of Sprite and watched tons of crappy daytime TV (read: The View, Katie Couric and whatever local morning news was on). Well, the years have gone by and that glass of Sprite has been replaced with Sierra Mist and crappy daytime TV (which, in fact, is still crappy and full of women that I can't stand *cough* Star Jones you will always be fat to me *cough*) is now composed of my NetFlix queue and episodes of Best Week Ever on

Since my Niners are out of the playoffs yet again this season (despite the fact that they doubled last year's win total), it's that time of the year in which I jump onto the least favorable bandwagon. Why the least favorable as opposed to...the Patriots every year? Because unlike my friend Will Wagner (read: band WAGner), I like to root for the underdog. It makes the postseason that much more enjoyable. And like the elitist that I am, I can't cheer on the favorite. So who am I picking to win Super Bowl LV? None other than the New England Patriots. I know what you're thinking and allow me to answer your two questions: yes, I do wear stylish boxer shorts and b) this is NOT the same thing as picking the Pats last season. They have been proven to be fallible as their 10-6 record proves. If anything, this is a bold pick on my part since starting LT Todd Light is out for the season. Normally I would root against the "dynasty" since it takes attention away fro

A new feature to this blog will be the annual award for "Outstanding achievement in his or his field without getting the proper respect from the public." A bit of a long award name, but I'll make a big enough trophy to fit every last character. Anyhoo... The first runner up for this pretigious award is none other than Mr. Stedman Graham. Why does Stedman seem familiar to you? Well, the man is an accomplished author, motivational speaker and he played collegiate basketball. He founded the non-profit organization "Athletes Against Drugs" and has published such books as "You Can Make It Happen Every Day" and "The Ultimate Guide to Sport Event Management & Marketing." He is an accomplished man and philanthropist. But this means nothing to the general public. If anyone knows Stedman, it's as Oprah's boyfriend . He is only known to the world as "that dude who's never going to marry her." He will forever be second to

Wow. Long time no blog. Lots to catch up on. But let's start with the occasion at hand: This is my first post of the year of our lord 2006. I just got back from a little shindig and decided to blog. This can be looked at in two fashions: either pathetic on my part or lucky for you, the reader. Hopefully you will consider the latter. In honor of this new year, which I have unofficially dubbed "The best year ever," I have decided to list a few of my resolutions. So without further Apu... Things that I wish to accomplish this year by Max "The Yellow Dart" Davison 1. Read more. I always seem to put this on my list, and although I do succeed in turning more pages, I could always do so to a greater degree of intensity. 2. Stop using Bono/U2 so much in my jokes. If you've hung around me enough during the first semester, you've probably gotten sick of the constant "What would Bono think?" lines uttered from my mouth. I apologize and promise t
