Wild Card Weekend Playoff Predictions!!!!
Short and sweet today guys some quick playoff predictions.
Bengals @ Texans: Winner: Texans
Both Defenses are big-time so I expect a low scoring affair. However, the two headed giant of Arian Foster and Ben Tate will be unmatched compared to the playoff debuts of the dynamic duo of Andy Dalton and AJ Green. Final score 17-13 Texans
Lions @ Saints: Winner: Saints
The New Orleans Saints...

Fairy Tales
I still believe in fairy tales and fairy tale endings. At 23, I know some things. Maybe more than most 23 year olds but in the grand scope of things I know nothing. But I have my faith. Faith that I will find my place in the world, faith that I will change people’s lives for the better, faith that I can find the person that I can give the world too or at least try. THIS is the part of my...

Unyielding ambition
It’s been a while everyone. I didn’t have the desire nor the time to write about anything that has been on my mind. Until I read an essay written by my good friend Brad Warshauer. I’ll post the link right here. (He’s the writer, not me so if you want structure and cohesion I’m sorry to disappoint.) And then I was inspired. My mind raced as I thought about a...

I made a preemptive conclusion
Last week I wrote a post about how the movies No Strings Attached and Friends With Benefits were the same movie with the same premise. I have an addendum to make. Friends With Benefits is the better movie of the two. HANDS. DOWN. Here’s why.
1. Much much more comedy.
2. Woody Harrelson MAKES this movie.
3. Justin Timberlake is hilarious. HILARIOUS.
4. There are some great cameos from...

No Strings Attached = Friends With Benefits
Hello to all, I’ve got a quick thought I want to put to rest before I delve into the meatier portion of today’s posting.
VERSUS:
Let’s not sugarcoat it. IT’S THE SAME MOVIE. Two hot friends decide that they should be sex buddies and come to an agreement to be casual partners until someone develops feelings and wants to take it to the next level. There you go. ...

Feeling a block as of late.
The reason I even began this project and how Life Of A Successful One began was so that I could work on improving myself. I’m always one to look for ways of bettering myself. Things that I could do to better round myself out. This gives me the chance to write, to express, and to hopefully reach a new level of understanding about the world itself, my friends both old and new, where my life...

Summer Movie MADNESS!!!
Yes madness indeed. In my glorious amounts of free time before I move on to the second year of medical school, I thought it would be a great idea to set a challenge to myself: To go to the movie theater and see at least one movie a week. Now I know what you’re thinking: Jon, there couldn’t possibly be ONE movie that comes out every week that you’d actually want to see. That my...

How to Fix the Seattle Seahawks
Taking a page right out of my good friend Big Al’s book, I’ve decided to write about how to fix the Seattle Seahawks.
Now the Seattle Seahawks reside in the basement of NFL Divisions: The NFC West where they actually won the division at 7-9 and hosted the Saints in a playoff game and managed to win with the help of my personal 2010-2011 Run of the year by self trademarked...

On July 2nd, 2011 My life changed Forever.
That was the day that I saw my favorite artist, Kanye West perform at Essence Music Festival in New Orleans. To describe it in one word courtesy of Big Al : Orgasmic. It was the best thing I’ve ever experienced in my 23 years. Here’s the rundown.
My seat was on the floor of the Superdome. Excellent. The stage setup is as such. A DJ on the right side of the stage and two...

Success.
I know the title of this blog is a little misleading. “Life of a Successful One” is a mindset. It’s a goal. It is figuring out my purpose both realistically and metaphorically. Success wears many hats but in the end it will always come back to happiness. That’s all I strive for. To one day be fulfilled in all aspects of my life. To get what I want I’ve got to work...

I'm back for more....with The Lonely Island!!
This just in. School sucks as usual. But I’ve got two weeks left and I’ll officially be a second year medical school also known as an M2!!! But until that time, I’d like to discuss my not so secret obsession with The Lonely Island.
For those of you who have been living under a socially inept rock for the past two years, The Lonely Island is a Comedy Rap Group composed of long...

I will never listen to Mel Kiper again when making my Mock Drafts.
Quoted for truth. We had Tyron Smith going to Dallas before listening to Mel Kiper’s hair say it would be Cameron Jordan.
The impending NFL Draft post......
Well it’s that time again. Late April. NFL Draft looming in the coming week. And although the Labor situation is not looking close to getting resolved, my favorite part of the NFL season is upon us. Normally I have plenty of time to examine combine results and formulate my own opinions of team needs and who’s draft stock is rising and falling. But alas, the curse and suffering of...
Need more time for tumblr. I’ve been neglecting you lately. It’s school’s fault not mine I’m sorry.

Skylar Grey Obsession......
Yep I’m admitting it. I am obsessed with Skylar Grey. Who is she you may ask?
She is a singer/songwriter who is really putting out some top notch music as of late. She’s coined choruses on songs for Diddy-Dirty Money, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, and T.I….The songs are so somber and her sound is fresh and unexpected. Here are some samples to get you interested.

Now that's a hit.
Ouch Sanchise. Ouch Sanschise. Jets might be dead in the water. Booth review on the fumble underway. If it holds 23-0 Steelers.
Steelers front seven
I love the steelers front seven….My opinion is they are the best 3-4 front seven in the league. Good all over….Ziggy!!!
Mmmmmm Dinner.....
Cooked some dinner. Ate it. It was delicious. Chicken Alfredo. I finally found a sauce that tastes good. I thought I was going to have to go from scratch but I prevailed. And there’s some left for dinner tomorrow!!!! That’s all just wanted to share. :)

I think about this A LOT. I’m always running these through my head just to make sure A.) I’m not crazy. B.) That I still plan on doing these things. C.) It’s fun to think about. :) So without further ado, Here’s a peak into what I want to do with my life. (In no particular order).

Oh the places I want to go!!
Yes I just turned a Dr. Seuss title into my own. It’s my blog I can type what I want! Now on to pressing matters. I’m ahead on a lot of things….but I’m far behind when it comes to seeing things. I haven’t been a traveller. I didn’t realize I wanted to see the world until I was 20 years old about to board my 1st airplane on my transcontinental flight to Africa....

Hard Knock Life in Football and Safety
I figured this would be an appropriate way to begin the discussion of today’s topic.
Roundtable Time!
Something that myself and my good friends Big Al Wheat over at Eatin’ Pigskin and Brad Warshauer at Ubiquitous Americana have decided to do once a week. A post giving each of our opinions on a football related issue and linking them together for all followers to see. So...

Let’s start off simple. I listen to music. A LOT of music. Right now, my iTunes library consists of 32 gigabytes of music files. DAMN. Now of course I’ve never had the opportunity to actually listen to every single file available to my ears but I do have a wide variety of tracks to listen that can go with any mood. If I’m feeling nostalgic, I’ll listen to the artists from...
Christian Dior Denim Flow, I told ya
I’m tryin’ to eat out, so what we goin’ to dinner fo?
No I’m not being pretentious in my post title. It’s a new song by Kanye West featuring a whole gang of artists who are hot right now (at least in my eyes.) Although it is sped up to I guess get around posting and copyright rules on YouTube. Other than that, Let’s get to it, Shall We?

BREAKING FOOTBALL NEWS

According to the scroller at the bottom of ESPN, the New England Patriots are very close to trading WR Randy Moss to the Minnesota Vikings. More details to come.
This can go one of two ways:
1. Favre numbers improve, Favre cultist worship continues incessantly
2. Favre keeps sucking and looking very, very old, Favre cultists make excuses, Favre cultist...
Might need a therapist....
I’m just saying.
Sometimes I question the connections my brain has made that makes me think the things I think. I really think some of the weirdest things that I probably would never dare divulge to those that know me. Or at least think they’ve got a good idea of who I am. It’s pretty weird. At least if I had a therapist it would be someone unbiased that could help me process...

PANCAKES.........
Pancakes…..so fluffy…so buttery…..drenched in syrup……..and so delicious.
Now you’re probably wondering…..why did he title this post “Pancakes”. I’ll tell you why. Because I like Pancakes and the world should know!
But really….it’s a metaphor.
You see, I’m a medical student and I’ve been integrating myself...
That's how it is.....
We do the things we hate for those we’d do anything for,
We don’t say the things that need to be said and keep them inside,
We walk around like this as if nothing is wrong but sometimes, everything is.
We think that we’re alone, that we’ll always be alone…..but that’s not the case.
All of these things can corrected with a different way of...

I miss the days when all I would do in my free time was play the first version of (the video game) Halo. The game was perfect. It was so balanced in terms of risk vs reward you could lose yourself in it for hours, if not days. People would plan to meet up only to challenge each other to…

I like ALOT of TV shows.........But I hate LOST...
I wish a career could be made in watching television. Not really, but with the number of shows I watch, I’m grateful for my investments in TiVo and Netflix. At this point I’m going to try and list my absolute favorite shows in no particular order.
Heroes (Cancelled after 4 seasons after a 3 season avalanche of mediocrity)
Scrubs (Finished after 8 seasons; Butchered in the 9th)

I always do this. And The Friend Zone
Sigh…..I always do this. Here I am again….late into the night in the darkness where I find my mind wanders and wanders and I look back on the decisions that I’ve made that out my life where it is currently. Now I’m a simple guy. The little things in life give me joy. The simplest of gestures makes me ever so happy. And yet, it’s the complex stuff I have the most...

My new addiction......Netflix.
I’m usually late to the party…..but I can’t believe how naive I’ve been about the joys of Netflix. IT IS AMAZING. You’re telling me that I can add tv shows and movies that I want to watch to my instant stream and watch them whenever I want? I don’t even need them to send me actual DVD’s. I would pay just for this streaming. The mail service is a total...
