I lied. I was supposed to get another piece of my writer and her hot model blog story written. I posted on this blog that I would do it to ensure that I would. I lied. Circumstances conspired to exhaust me and it didn’t happen. I am such a lame ass bitch. I don’t even have a good excuse. Stuff happened. The writing didn’t. I’m off today. I’m hoping I can get to it between the laundry and my manicure/pedicure and my other writing duties.

Okay, on to Marcus Monday. I’m not at work so I don’t need as much positive reinforcement as I usually do. However, I will do anything for an opportunity to shamelessly drool over Marcus, so here he is. This week I’m picking a more naked pic because I’m at home. You see, every morning at the office, I make a screen shot of my blog and use it as my desktop wallpaper. On Mondays, I can’t post pics of an almost nude Marcus because then he would end up on my desktop and someone might question it. Today, I can bask in the beauty of the Marcus without fear of reprisal.

Now, my friend Mary always comes by to see what Marcus pic I’ve posted. Mary, being the kind of bitch that she is, thinks Marcus is good looking, but he doesn’t spin her wheels. She prefers a more rugged man. Never mind that MY Marcus can actually play soccer, he’s still a pretty boy and not a pro. So, just for my bitch Mary, here is a more rugged, pro soccer playing Marcus. Marcus Hahnemann. He’s not so bad on the eyes and I bet he has great muscles.

This week was a busy week for comments on my fledgling blog. Matt-Man, Shiny, and Mary each earned 3 Marcuses! WOOT! Mr. Fabulous and Nicholas each got 2. Jennifer M., Susan G., Avalon, Vixensden, and Dane Bramage each earned 1 Marcus. Now, I need to pause here for a moment to give out a couple of extra Marcuses. Fab said my Marcus Award was a chick magnet, and I nearly spit up my Diet Dr. Pepper, so he gets an extra one. Matt actually posted the Marcus Award on his blog so he gets an extra one too.

So now for a recap of the first four weeks of the Marcus Awards. Shiny is in the lead with 6 Marcuses! Close behind her, with 5, is Matt. Then, there’s Mary with 4. Next, we have Kaige, Nicholas, and Mr. Fab with 3 each. BellaDaddy and Jennifer M. each have 2. Those with one each are: Greg, Livvy the English Courtesan, Trotter, Susan G., Vixensden, Avalon, and Dane Bramage. Thanks to everyone who posted in the last month, especially in the last week, and an extra special thanks to Matt for posting the Marcus. Whew! If I didn’t know how to use my Canon calculator, I woulda been in trouble counting all the Marcuses. Heh.

My final thought for this Monday is that NASCAR has never been the same for me since Davey Allison died. I tried to watch the Daytona 500. I had it on for the pre-race BS, but I could only manage to pay close attention to the last 90 minutes of the race. The pre-race show had a single highlight for me… Dario Franchitti. I love hearing the man’s Scottish brogue. Davey’s win in 1992 was mentioned a couple of times, but I don’t recall anyone talking about his death, although Dale Earnhardt’s and Neil Bonnett’s were mentioned. I really liked Davey and I’m sorry he’s gone. Five races from now, Dale Jarrett won’t be driving the UPS truck around the track in those commercials either. Seems like the end of an era. No, wait. The end of an era would mean Kyle Petty cut off his ponytail. I checked an AP photo from Thursday. It’s still there.
