Around SBN: Notre Dame's Turnaround: How Have The Irish Done It?

Rudy Kelly's Home for Wayward Teams: Life is Beautiful

I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I haven't been writing all that much lately.  I'm starting a new career and this whole "Get up at 5," "work 8 hours a day," "don't start drinking at noon" thing is a lot harder than I thought it'd be.  (I've been too busy to jerk off.  Yeah, that busy.)  I've struggled a little bit catching on to a difficult job and have been doubting myself, but today I had a great day.  Everything clicked for me and I had a person I really respect tell me how impressed they were by the way I had been performing.  As I walked away from work, I couldn't help but smile, proud of the way I had proven to my bosses and myself that I could in fact do this.

And right then a bug flew in my mouth.

Nice work on the day job, Rudy. Now clean out your e-desk.

I mean, don’t sweat it. BoC was never about working harder than necessary.

You seem to have a lot of self-expect, Rudy. Good for you.

Nobody cares about your opinion.

Great now I look stupid because what I said doesn’t make sense anymore.

Nobody cares about your opinion.

Rudy – I’ve been working ten hours a day for twenty years, and I’m about to go FUCKING INSANE (being a King’s fan may be a contributing factor). Do not let this happen to you. Of course, I’ll probably have festering tumors by age 50 also. What are the occupational hazards of blogging/your new career?

Today was one of the best days. My wings were all shiny and stuff, and I had my antennae permed, it was awesome. I had just landed on this sweet pile of cat shit that no one else had found. I mean this was pristine shit. I had sucked up a mouthful and was taking it home to my new brood, and I was feeling great. Then, I flew into some assholes mouth.

That’s not the first time you’ve flown into my mouth. Wait, that makes me sound gay, not you. I better press the “Cancel” button to get rid of any evidence of this comment. It’s the one in the middle, right? Oh shi-

That was awesome, Rudy. You do good work.

I love the internet.

Quit your day job and go write a book. Like right now. It’s urgent. Write a novel or do a memoir. Just please don’t write about shitty hair metal bands like Chuck Klosterman or your life as a stripper- Diablo Cody covered it already. You’re a good writer. Explore this option. And trust me, I’m not kissing ass here as I don’t know Rudy and if we met we would probably think… no, we would think each other is an a-hole. But Rudy is an a-hole with a voice. Use that voice and write sir. Quit that day job. Eating is overrated anway. Now git!

I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I haven't been writing all that much lately.

I’ve noticed and I’ve missed you Rudy. I’d rather read lame stories about your job than blogs about NHL teams that don’t belong in the playoffs but got lucky.

Aw, poor unlucky anonymous1. Some day, dude.
