Enter Wilson
Hello all.
Wilson here.
Let’s get the introduction out of the way. Pretend you care:
Resident of Boston (Southie, Irish heaven)
31 years old
Republican-leaning (in MA?)
Hate going to movie theaters
Afraid of raw tomatoes (yes, deathly afraid)
My daily websites (courtesy of Firefox and my “startup†list)
- yahoo news
- google news
- CNET.com
- FARK.com
- woot.com
- ESPN.com
It is true, I was the former owner of the Dub Daily blog. I’m not even going to link to it here, since it has been eleventy nine months since I posted. A great effort on my part for several months, but just couldn’t keep the motivation. At least I helped to get Brad into blogging so he can try to use some of that gray matter in that giant melon of his.
I recently spent 6 days in Costa Rica with 8 of my friends. It was the absolute craziest trip I have ever been on. Nothing but booze, gambling, deep sea fishing, zip lines, ATV’s (cause for one trip to the hospital after one guy went over the edge and into a ravine on one), pool volleyball, and bad food. You know, the usual.
One of my favorite online writers is Bill Simmons. Doesn’t really write about sports all that much, it’s more pop culture. Any 25-35 year old male will read his articles and nod “uh-huh, I ‘member thatâ€. Bill’s page 2 link on ESPN.com
Along the same vein, I was very disappointed to find out about Hunter S Thompson’s suicide. I thoroughly enjoyed his random articles on EPSN.com page 2. Rambling, incoherent stories about anything you can imagine…scratch that…most people can’t imagine a golf game that includes a shotgun. From a guy that started his days at 5:00 PM by eating jello topped with gin and gran marnier. Here is his last article. One that was odd enough for me to call my friend Hoover and say “read Hunter today? he’s getting really freaky”. Killed himself a couple days later.
That ought to sum me up pretty well. Looking forward to Warden Brad hawking me for the next month with “I want that article on my desk in 4 hours or your ass is on the street, Wilson.”
Oh yeah, almost forgot. I hate exclamation points. Never use them.
I typed one after the “Warden Brad” quote, but thought better of it. Because they suck.
But still better than tomatoes.
Cheers.

Hello fellow fisherman,
Did you know that 16% of the U.S. population goes fishing at least 16 days a year?
Did you also know that over 75% of the nations fishermen do not fish during “prime time”; fish feeding hours?
Those precious few moments before twilight can be absolutely magical. Even up until 11pm at night, the largest predators of any species feed ravenously.
Don’t believe me? Check out Daniel Eggertsen’s story, and a picture of a couple of his catches here : “Evening Secrets plus more”
I want you to do me a favor and try it out so I can see what you think of it, and if it works for you as well as it did for me.
You will be one of the first to try it out.
Gone Fishin’,
Neil
