Ever wonder, how someone could procrastinate so badly, seem to care so little, and complete a project in the eleventh hour, and present it so well you'd never have guessed at how horribly prepared they were? Ever see someone gamble when they shouldn't; and win? Or someone put in a very solid work out, so well you'd never have guessed they had been out drinking heavily the night before? Well there is a little Good Ol' Boys in us all. A few of us from Wisconsin are starting this here blog to share some of the stories of what we went through. Give some insight in things that might have otherwise been lost in the seas of time. Maybe they are better off there. But maybe, just maybe, you'll like what you read and be enabled, just a little bit more, to let out the Good Ol' Boy in yourself.
Matt - This man has the heart of a lion. No man sees sports the way he can, and nobody compares to his ability to write about it either. A jack-of-all traits, but would you expect anything less out of a Good Ol' Boy?
Bob - Ever wonder where comedy comes from? This guy may not have been there for the start (that was thousands of years ago.) but he definitely is the cutting edge. You can just tell. He is also an angry drunk.
Nate - The international world traveler. Unmatched charm and charisma. You can't reach out to get to know him, but that's because he's already introduced himself and put forth the effort to get to know you. Sleep is his best friend, but nobody sleeps less than him. You won't understand that until you meet him. Very close to scratch golfer (when his game is on). And you may beat him in a hand at poker, but there's no way in hell you'll outlast him at the poker table.
Sean - This Good Ol' Boy can talk. He can talk, but he can also write, and his writing could persuade an Eskimo to buy ice. Every Good Ol' Boy knows women, but Sean knows women. There's nothing he won't try, nowhere he won't travel to, and nothing he is afraid of. Earn his friendship and trust, and he will stand by you no matter the circumstance.
Kevin - The first Good Ol' Boy to get married. Loves golf, playing poker, the occasional cigarette, a good movie, and can't go a night drinking without giving it his all.
Dan - Probably will be the last Good Ol' Boy to get married. Best listener you'll ever speak to. An instant friend. Enables better than anyone. Loves his family more than anything. This is the guy, that you don't know whether he came along with you the whole way, or if he's the guy that took you with him.
All of us enjoy the finer things, will learn any game just to play, procrastinate like hell, but always make it in the end. We see the big picture, that people and fun are why we are here, and we won't let a minute go by without making sure we stop and enjoy it. We are the adults who are boys at heart; with charm, confidence and humor, and we use these tools to get us out of the trouble that our pleasure seeking ways and running mouths get us into. The boys that people shake their heads in disbelief as they say "I don't know how they did it..."
