For you "Year of the Bayside Tiger" purists out there, you may want to stop reading right now, maybe cancel you subscription or file your complaint with management. For the rest of you who just appreciate a bit of
Saved By the Bell in your life, please continue on. It has come to my attention that during this horridly busy time of the year it is nearly impossible and overly stressful for me to do this every single day. After much thought and deliberation and consulting with my lawyers, I have decided that I will continue on with this, but at my leisure. If I can make 7 connections a week...wonderful. If I can only make 2 a week...equally as wonderful. This is supposed to be fun and you know that if
Saved By the Bell stops being fun, then life stops being fun. I apologize to those who expect greatness, but sometimes "okayness" is just as...okay.

Episode watched: none
Annie did her best "Running Zack" impression today when she competed in the National 1/2 Marathon in Washington D.C. and knocked 6 minutes off of her best time. I'm not sure if she channeled her Native American forefathers (which she has none of like Zack) or if she channeled the power of our nation's forefathers, but she certainly kicked butt and got an "A" in my book.

Alright, so my dad gave me a little scare tonight at dinner when he told me that he watched an interview on CNN with Zack's old best friend from the show who is now blind and a practicing lawyer as well. Of course all us (well, really just me) assumed that it was Mikey from the Ms. Bliss era and I became very concerned. I did a bunch of research and came up empty with this whole blindness this for Mikey, mostly because his current job is as a hockey official for the WCHA (the same conference the DU Pioneers play in, which may explain some terrible calls this season). After a little more digging I found that it was, in fact, Weasel from the New Class of Saved By the Bell shows that is now blind and a practicing lawyer...really an incredible story, check out the link below.

Today is my birthday...woohoo as much as I'm excited about birthdays, but I did get numerous posts, texts or messages that brought up Saved By the Bell. I also appreciated my friends who said they tried to think of something from SBtB, but were unsuccessful. Even that simple shout out is awesome and I'm glad that it has a presence in people's lives a little bit more now than before. My cousin sent me the text "See you in Belding's Office for the surprise party" and I even got a video from some friends which I have linked below...kind of funny.
I also decided to wear my Bayside Tigers shirt out and about today, got a "Go Zack Morris" in the bathroom...not sure how to feel about that.

Lesson learned: Must make life easier in areas that you can control...also, don't trust your father with pop culture information.
