So the Superbowl is today and I really am kind of luke warm about watching it. I really have no vested interest in either team, but all things being equal, I'm hoping the Saints win this one. They've never had a championship, and my Steelers have six.





So "Geaux Saints."

Jim Says:"Only because there isn't any more hockey today."

So, I've been back to the gym in an attempt to get back into a reasonable shape. "Who is she", you ask?

Do you really think I'm that shallow? Isn't it possible that maybe I just want to get my high blood pressure under control? Don't you think I just might want to be healthier? I mean, of course there's a woman, and yes I want to look good for her. But really, isn't it possible that I just want my guns back..



Anyway, as so often happens, people have annoyed me. Today was a perfect example. Since I don't know any of their names, I'll just say what I was mentally screaming at them at the gym. I'm willing to bet this is universal, not unique to Vegas.

"Hey, Little Miss practically wearing a string bikini in the gym. Yes, we noticed you. Happy? We also noticed that your slow strutting laps around the weight room stopped only at two machines where you sat, did one short set with no weight, then strutted for another lap. Look, I get it, you're entire self worth is based on the attention you get from men, and as you rocket through your late 40's, there seems to be less of it. Fine, see a shrink, or keep doing what you're doing, I really don't care. Just keep your lazy, desperate ass off the Hammer Strength bicep curl machine. There are a whole bunch of us waiting to use it. MOVE! Lesson 1: If you find yourself putting on hairspray to go TO the gym, you're already doing something wrong!"

"Hey, Dude who moisturizes way too much. I appreciate that there is only one cable crossover upstairs and that you would have to walk downstairs to the thirty other pieces of equipment that you can do pull ups on. Fine, I'll alter my superset bicep, tricep burnout to make room for you, if you'll do more than 3 fucking pull ups at a time. Perhaps the lat stack would be a better choice. And stop shaving your legs. It's creepy!"

"Hi, I couldn't help but notice that you've been *resting* between sets for the same amount of time I took me to do three full sets of my previous exercise. Mind if I work in?" Now, this is the equivalent of my switching on my turn signal. I'm not asking if I can move over, I'm telling you, "I'm changing lanes". So if you flash me a dirty look for interrupting your nap on the machine I happen to need, be prepared to have a dumbbell equal to the weight your currently not lifting, inserted into the orifice that I think will embarrass you the most. And, yes, I'll be happy to discuss this in the parking lot. (It's always the same asshole on the same machine, every single week.)

Jim says: "Is it me? It's them, right?"

Just wanted to share my good friend Scott Argiro's (aka Scotty Hollywood) latest single.




Jim Says:"Great track, Scooter!"

Things you didn't appreciate that your Dad did until you have to do them yourself #741…

Hanging a shower curtain.
I've never thought about how much of a pain in the ass it is to try to hang a shower curtain until I was putting up my new Penguins one.

But for the time being...




I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Boy, Jim is REALLY single, and not doing much about it." Well, how do you know my girlfriend isn't a huge Penguins fans as well? What makes you think that she isn't proud of my team spirit and enjoys my loyalty to my team. When did you get the impression that hot Vegas women aren't hockey fans. Ok, I am single at the moment and realize that this will probably be the first thing to go when I finally do settle down with that special woman sometime down the road. (She knows who she is.) And, sure, you have a point that no woman would put up with this in the house, nor are there any female hockey fans in Vegas.

(For the record, my ex liked my Monopoly game board shower curtain. I still have it.)

Of course I have the matching Penguins towels. It would be tacky otherwise…



Before you ask, No, I don't actually use those towels. Are you crazy? Those are for the playoffs only. I don't want to jinx the team!

Jim Says:"Oh shut up. You have goofy shit, too!"

Happy New Years, or something.Should old acquaintances be forgot? I'm asking. I have no idea.



Here's hoping the loyal following of JimCavalier.com (both of you) have a preposterous new year.

Updates coming soon, but I'm still recovering from traveling and festivities with my friends in Vegas as we brought in 2010 with several pints, champagne, and more pints.

Jim says: "Should I begin to die, please remove this from my head."
