I'm writing this on my phone, so this is my first mobile blog post. Awesome right? The reason I'm doing from my phone is because I'm sitting in my car, in my driveway, locked out of my house. Yep, keys on my dresser... So I also don't have my car keys. Thank God for cell phones and my savior, my old roommate Matt. He still has a key to my house, so he is driving up here to let me in...then I'm taking him and his girlfriend to lunch! Better than paying a locksmith, on a sunday.
Tax season sucks, but that's nothing new. Buell and I's Ritter alumni team pulled off a miraculous victory this morning over a team that probably should have beat us. It was a 3 point onslaught by us with yours truly draining at least 5 of them. Good times.
Wish I could have been with Craig and Adam this weekend in Vegas for a bachelor party...I'm starting to get that itch again.
Played about 3 hrs of ping-pong two weekends ago at my stepbros house. Lots of fun and we had some epic showdowns...very similar to the fresh out of college days with our fusbol rivalries with the old roommates at The Plex.
2009 Taxable Income Reviewed to date - approx $8 million. I'm not in front of my computer, ya know, SINCE I'm LOCKED OUT OF MY DAMN HOUSE!!!!!!!!! I always knew this day would come...
the first real event in the Winter Olympics that I'm excited for is tonight. USA vs Canada in mens ice hockey. Well Matt should be here any minute. Fiest mobile blog post...out. Over/under on number of typos is probably at least 20

early tax season blues
So the Colts sucked in the Super Bowl. Well, we didn't play horrible, just had a few bonehead plays and a few "hindsight is 20/20" coaching moments. Also the Saints played a great game and deserved to win. Onwards.... Finished 27-24 on the year for NFL bets for a less than inspiring 53%. Not great, but it always comes back to being better than Scott's 0-6 showing in Vegas.
9:55 on a Wednesday night, early February, and I just got to sit down on my couch. Ahh, the joys of being a public accountant during tax season. I'm still a month away from the corporate deadline (2 months from individual deadline) and I'm already starting to feel the invisible force of my client's needs/expectations pulling me in all different directions. Don't get me wrong, I love my job most of the time and would recommend a public accounting career to incoming college students, however, it does have it's negatives. On a positive note, I've been exposed to a few unique tax situations that has taught me a lot in the past few months, so I'm a better CPA today than I was 6 months ago....and I'd like to think I didn't suck at my job 6 months ago....
Valentines Day...not a huge fan, but this year should be fun. Going to a "put the SIN back in SINGLE" party. Sounds more scandalous than I'm sure it'll be, but it'll be fun. Basically just an excuse to get together w/ some friends, not all of whom are single, to drink. Nothing too crazy though since the Ritter Alumni Bball league started up a few weeks ago and we play on Sunday mornings, so don't want to be hungover for that. We are 2-0 having outscored our opponents by 75 points over two games....but we've also played the two worst teams, I'm sure.
That reminds me, I'm hoping I there is a shitty table at this party so me and few other friends can try out this (your video of the week, courtesy of Club Tril). Seriously, of all the years that I've dominated people (along w/ the occasional loss) at beer pong, i've never seen anyone do this...NOR do I recall it ever being discussed. I'm very excited to witness or partake in beer pong dunk live.
On another note, has anyone else noticed that the Pacers current two point guards are Earl Watson & AJ Price...who? exactly....the Pacers are awful. I don't understand how a team in Indiana can be this bad. Wait, IU isn't good either? Jesus, what the hell is going? At least Purdue is a legitimate Final Four threat, Butler is solid, and ND is making a push for the tourney...so the state isn't all bad.
For my long-time readers, you may remember that I kept track of the cumulative taxable income (netted w/ losses) for the clients that I was responsible for during tax season. I think last year ended up around $50 million of net taxable income. I'll keep a tally again this year and am guessing the year will end up around $48 million...we'll see how accurate i am. last year I guessed $103M...so surely I'll be much closer this year!
2009 Taxable Income Reviewed to Date - $2,721,521 (it's early in the year, obviously. not the mention the economy sucked in 2009)
