SERIOUSLY......THAT LINE ABOUT 50 BEING THE NEW 30......IT'S FRIGGIN BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!

OK, OK where have I been. It is now been far too long since my last posted blog. While this new one is dated March 14th on the post, it was just finished right now just past midnight on March 24th. This gives you an idea of what a TRAIN WRECK I have been recently since it took me 10 days to start and finish one blog. But now it is done and officially dated 1 day and 1 month since my last blog. Where has the DogZog been hiding you may wonder. So before I can get back to my regular blogging I've first gotta make my explanatory"return blog" about where the *&%$ I've been for since February 23rd. The Steelers win a Super Bowl on February 1st, I immediately start up my blog after that and proceed to punch out 4 of them in February and then, Mr. DZ disappears. I wish I had a multitude of e-mails clamoring for my return, but my immediate family is not that big. So let's get something straight right up front. I'm 2 months past turning 48. That "50 is the new 30" bullshit is just that....bullshit. Better put for all you folks who may be fans of Family Guy (like yours truly!!!) in the words of Peter Griffin........'Ahhhh CRAP" As noted, I'm 48 and my ass is feelin more like 68 right around now. You see Mr. DZ has been on the disabled list for several weeks now with a Fractured Patella. NOTE: For those of you following this blog in the Bronx, Brooklyn or Queens, that immensely complicated medical term is spelled: B-r-o-k-e-n K-n-e-e-c-a-p. Sky Diving you might ask? Ski Jumping? Bull Fighting? Bodyguard for Bernie Madoff? Babysitter for the OctuMom? No, it was not any of those dangerous endeavors. Oh I wish it was all that exciting, but I was taken out by my 11 year-old son in a kitchen wrestling match. You see, he thought it would be HILARIOUS to take his knee and slam it into "Daddy's Tenders", while I thought it was best to use my knee to block that attack. 6 weeks later and I'm still far, far from 100%. At least the leg brace is off and I can somewhat function in regular life. Boy, does IT SUCK GETTING OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the drive, energy and creativity---actually if I even had any creativity---well all of these are back so look for me to pine some mindless musings that have been rambling around in my scrambled brain. So very soon, look for my pent up thoughts on Music, The National Pastime, Some Puck, the NFL offseason and of course the items du jour of everyday culture. DZ22
