Update from the U #5
Thursday, March 27
-This past week, Da Great White Hype & peers from class were forced into involuntary labor offered their services to the CA Championships at Doral PGA Event. We enticed golf fans into filling out surveys for CA data collection with the promise of a free CA visor. The problem with this was two-fold:
1) Most golf fans are bald or balding. Therefore, a visor is as pointless as trying to find meaning in a Pauly Shore movie (no Clueless).
2) The spectators were offered a free visor about 300 yards down once they made the entrance into the main venue.
But that's all not to say the two-day session of work wasn't for naught. As all the experiences with my Miami brethren, it offered another bonding experience. And it was another experience in dealing with customer service.
I was able to teach Mike aka the Sultan of South Beach (aptly named for his afficianto status of SoBe nightlife as well as his tendancies to pose in a pseudo b-boy stance in all facebook photos while adorned in the latest Ed Hardy/Affliction garb) about golf and life. And I was able to watch him pounce like a tiger on a gazelle from the adjacent XM Radio stand.
-The Great White Babe's trek to the Great White Domicile came to an end and it was a wild ride. It was sort of like that movie "The River Wild" without Meryl Streep and her family... and I was Kevin Bacon and she was the other dude and we were just floating down the rapids ourselves.
But all in all we had a great time and a great Easter Sunday, where we dined at Quattro and I had the best cheese platter I've ever had in my young life. And the Great White Babe's family and DJ Caity P came down this week to stay in Deerfield. We did it big both here at Bayside and in SoBe, including a night at Sushi Samba for Alexandra's b-day and chocolate fondue (no homo).
-Miami Men's Basketball ended their improbable run last week, losing to the steers & queers of Texas by 3 points. Miami played like the Washington Generals to the UT's Globetrotters in the first half, but in a mirror image of their first round game against the Immaculate Conceptions of Saint Mary's, Miami came out firing like a pissed off postal worker in the second half, and should have emerged victorious. I would chalk up this loss to the fact that they did not score as many points as Texas did.
-I've been hard at work with all projects both in and out of class including helping to put on a golf tourney. I would like to invite any readers to come play in the 3rd Annual UM S.P.O.R.T Golf Tournament at Palmetto Golf Club on April 25th. For more info email me at m.kelley@umiami.edu. This event benefits both S.P.O.R.T. (the grad program of Sport Administration) as well as the Florida Marlin's Community Charity (or something like that). Zac Effron, the cast of Gossip Girl, and Matt Ryan will be in attendance*.
-Well, after the first day, my bracket looked like this....
and now as we enter the Sweet 16, it's basically turned into this..
-My friend Kim and her friends come down this week from UDel and I promised to show them what life is like living here in Downtown Miami. Which involves standing on the balcony of my apartment and laughing at the poor people below on the streets.
-My business associate and fellow 8th grade graduate of Montgomery J-Dubs is coming down two weeks from now as we will immerse ourselves in models during Miami Fashion Week. I will have to leave my Suave Sombrero at home and take my Networking Buret with me to the catwalks for a few nights I guess as we attempt to invade the fashion scene of the 305.
-Oh yeah and Erica from class basically gave my laptop the People's Elbow during class. Let's just say I'm writing this on my desktop. For Good.
*Note: Zac Effron, the cast of Gossip Girl, and Matt Ryan will not be in attendance.
