I wanted to do a year in review. Since I don’t yet have a personal assistant transcribing my every move, I thought I would look to Twitter for the answer. Please find a complete review of my 2009, with updates below.
Jan 31st, 2009 - “Hey Bryan!” - “Hey! Lisa, right?” - “No. Leslie.”
Swing and a miss. Not a great start to the year.
Feb 17th, 2009 - @bethshanna and @sjorscheln - Excited to see what you guys have in the works for us tomorrow.
The result was not much.
Feb 27th, 2009 - I lost my driver’s license and credit card. And I broke the TV in the room. Coupled with losing my computer, I think I am making a good impression.
It’s actually a miracle I survived 2009.
Mar 7th, 2009 - Studio 54. Have you guys seen my friends?
Update: They had not seen my friends.
Mar 14th, 2009 - Still got it at shuffle puck. Nobody ever taught us how to lose.
I still have never learned how to lose.
Apr 2nd, 2009 - @brantbuk If we are only going to talk for 2 minutes a day, let’s make sure it isn’t about contractions, shall we?
I think we should continue this rule for 2010.
Apr 28th, 2009 - Does anyone else think it’s not a coincidence that MGM stock tanked right at the time @brantbuk and I stopped going there two times a month?
This tweet is currently under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
May 14th, 2009 - 300+ Channels and I can’t get a game 7 NHL hockey game. The NHL is officially the puppy who lost his way.
This marked the end of my love affair with the NHL, and began a troubling relationship with Desperate Housewives.
May 18th, 2009 - Hoping that the Hope Springs Eternal Minnesota Twins can avoid a 4th straight walk off loss on ESPN tonite.
Update: They did not.
May 24th, 2009 - Looking for the Hope Springs Eternal Minnesota Twins to complete a sweep of the Brew Crew on Sunday Night baseball tonite.
This marked the highlight of my 2009 tweeting season, be re-tweeted by the Minnesota Twins.
Jun 4th, 2009 - Quick 9 at Forest Park this morning before rolling into work on the patio today. That’s my kind of party.
It was a Miley party. Note to self – More of this in 2010.
Jun 17th, 2009 - @brianhelmig - Great photo! May it find its way into the pages of Fortune 500 Magazine someday … Photo
Yeah, those MRC outings are really just singles events.
Jun 18th, 2009 - My wallet can only be described as “#Vegas Ready.” This is different from Duece ready.
Update: Upon return, it would not even be described as Subway ready.
Jun 27th, 2009 - Two hope springs eternal Minnesota Twins games in STL two days. Let’s get Denarded! Photo
Oh, I got Denarded.
Jul 2nd, 2009 - Missed @burcheck yesterday to make the - “Is it Zack Greinke t shirt give-a-way day?” sassy remarks.
Turns out it was actually Yuniesky Betancourt give away day.
Jul 9th, 2009 - I’m totally mixing on loopt right now.
That was a load. Loopt isn’t fit to mix up pancake batter.
Jul 10th, 2009 - Some girl: How’d you hurt your ribs? @brantbuk : Ahh, Workin’ out.
More of this in my memoirs, Working with Reds.
Jul 11th, 2009 - Excited for the #Harper’s Island finale tonite! I think it’s Henry. He always protects Abby and ignores his fiance. Suspect…
I was right! Not every victory makes the papers.
Jul 12th, 2009 - The task of fetching my car in the AM is becoming exhausting. Today, it’s at an apt complex that wasn’t built when I went to college here…
This isn’t moving in the right direction, either.
Jul 13th, 2009 - Chris Berman is so in love with Pujols. I want it to end in a ‘Bat Off’ but Berman accidentally call it a ‘Beat off.’
I think this actually happened.
Jul 18th, 2009 - Before the #80s race. Photo
I came in last in the race and first in style.
Jul 22nd, 2009 - @tbukowsk How dare you not tell me you were going to the fair?! And yes, I am one of those people that goes to the fair just to eat…
The cheese curds were delicious.
Jul 23rd, 2009 - Older, wiser heads prevailed today. Whiskey is the devil’s plaything…
Oddly, this was only the second strangest whiskey and hoose night we had in ‘09.
Aug 4th, 2009 - In email, how do I set priority between Only Bold, Only underline, and Bold & Underline? And some bold and some underline is in parenthesis?
I still can’t figure this out, and it caused me to miss cake in the processor room.
Aug 7th, 2009 - “Just crossing the bridge.” What’s that? Oh, I don’t know. I just thought that was what people said when they got to the Lake of the Ozarks.
This has been confirmed as 100% accurate.
Aug 9th, 2009 - Closing down bachelor party number 2 of the summer. “I’ve got my swim trunks, and my flippie floppies. I’m on a boat!”
6 months later, that is still number 1 on my ipod.
Aug 14th, 2009 - Lady says “Does anyone in here have teenagers?” Response: “You mean, like that we date?”
He must come up with these in his sleep.
Aug 22nd, 2009 - Good nite out with @tbukowsk @mattwanzo and @heathercox22 - Celebrating the win and reveling in my vast knowledge of trivia with @brantbuk
I think we won this because I knew Joe Flacco went to Harvard. I need new hobbies.
Aug 23rd, 2009 - Faxing a riddle and speed date flyer. RT at me for the riddle - get the answer and get 50% off admission to www.columbiaspeeddates.com
I love speed dating and I love riddles.
Aug 27th, 2009 - Can’t backup laptop before #Vegas. Laptop gets stolen and I will be fired. I will go bankrupt, turn to a life of binge drinking and loose women.
This still may happen.
Aug 29th, 2009 - Our suite in #Vegas. At noon. Photo
This was later nominated for “twit pic of the year.”
Sep 7th, 2009 - Miami vs Florida State! Nessler and Andrews. Feels so good to have college football back. But this Kenny Chesney song has got to go.
I wasn’t the only one. Kenny didn’t last a full week.
Sep 10th, 2009 - The day has already started out nicley. Also, please follow @joshkayser He is sad with not enought followers & doesn’t want to be ‘that guy’
Update: Stretchy is still ‘that guy.’
Sep 11th, 2009 - Just another power hour to get things started.
The first of many.
Sep 12th, 2009 - @brantbuk @natebro Tweeting each other from the house. Cute. I’m just chillin in a parking lot with 5 bags of ice, and no one help melt it.
Update: We have since successfully melted the ice.
Sep 16th, 2009 - Pounding the pavement with @joshkayser passing out flyers for www.ColumbiaSpeedDates.com
Not how I envisioned the marketing, but effective nonetheless. Also, if you want Speed Dates oh ten, leave a comment below.
Sep 22nd, 2009 - Figures to be a good day. Launching a project after much scope and perspective. PS @joshkayser - You owe me beers thanks to mah boy Jeremy.
Update: I have yet to collect on my beers.
Sep 26th, 2009 - “I want that mother f-ing candle in my mother f-ing drink” Photo
With all due respect, I think that was the least dangerous thing he has ever done.
Sep 30th, 2009 - Fun night. But you don’t have to take my word for it. I’m just one guy, throwing a speed date party, in the middle of Missouri, on Wednesday.
In ‘09, I was also just one man, flying over the Grand Canyon, on a mother f-ing Thursday.
Oct 6th, 2009 - Come to GCB 205 today to learn about marginal costs and benefits, opportunity cost of capital and home ownership.
They at least learned the decreasing marginal benefits of drinking.
Oct 16th, 2009 - Now it’s a party Photo
It was indeed, a party.
Oct 17th, 2009 - RT @brantbuk Waitresses in Miami loving that @benchoi just got served with this ID… Photo

Update: I ended up missing the pet parade.
