Democracy

Despite what McQ may think, we live in a democracy here at Club Belmont.

This is how decisions are made, for example staying on as an all star CB resident:

We're such good communicators.

Courtship Thursday

It's another Courtship Thursday you guys!! Hold your applause.

This week we thought we'd share a couple personal stories.

Meesh
Sometimes I get irrationally angry. For example: the time a late March snowstorm delayed the beaus flight. New England weather can be a heartless bitch sometimes and doesn't take into account that you may have had plans or that you'd even spent time straightening your hair.

You may ask, how should one cope with such a situation? Well let wise old Meeshy tell you. You sulk in your room watching a Game of Thrones marathon. It's similar to my Eminem Pandora station technique where you just feed your anger with other angry things. In this case you use medieval beheadings instead of rap. Feelings = handled.

Note: If you're not into Game of Thrones the popular TV series Criminal Minds can also be used.

Another tough part about relationships is time management.  #AMIRIGHT?
Say you've had a super busy week and its looking like your weekend is not being too flexible with your sig other's schedule.  The two of you want to get together during that window of availability Saturday morning, say 9am-10:30am.  What do you do?  You try to squeeze in a cute lil brunch at that place you always talk about! 

Shitty thing is, everybody and their Ma had the same idea as you, so you have to put your name on a 45 min wait list.  No worries though, a 45 min wait leaves you with plenty of time to crush a cup o joe and slam a couple stacks of buttermilk cakes.  But wait a tic, that 45 minutes has quickly turned into a 70 minute wait...My genius brunch plans have backfired, or have they? 

Turns out McDonalds serves breakfast until 10:30am and they have the cutest booths with highway views.

Oh, and I picked up the tab because I'm a gentleman.




And that's how it's done ladies and gentlemen. If you have any dating questions for us please feel free to ask via our email address you'll find to the right. You're welcome.


Since we are bragging this week...

Colleges Where Students are Hot and Smart

#7 Baby!

I can only assume that this must mean that I am both the most attractive and intelligent male member of Club Belmont (suck it McQ!). 

So y'all go ahead and keep bragging about how great your athletics are (D3... adorable), cause I've got brains and sex appeal, and that's all I need.

PS - Just for the record, my Raiders split the season series with Quinnipiac in hockey.

Hip.

I don't know if this the the proper way to share a blog but I just wanted to let everyone know that Club Belmont is located in the "Hippest City in America."

Food for Thought

Meesh' last post didnt motivate me.  In fact, I hated it.  
You see, my alma matter is currently ranked #1 in the nation as well (D3 hoops) but you dont see me going around posting pictures like a crazed groupie do you?  Act like you've been there before for goodness sake.  
Anyways, the real reason I logged in today was to share an incredible feat with our readers.  A couple months ago I received an email from a friend of mine.  I've pasted the facts below and hope it inspires you to do something above and beyond today.
(Disclaimer: Club Belmont does not condone the events described in detail below, If you are easily offended then please stick to M's posts)

 I just witnessed one of the most incredible events ever.  Robert (name changed for privacy) did it.  He successfully consumed 4 Chipotle burritos in one sitting.
Burrito #1 - Rice, Pinto Beans, Barbacoa, Corn, Sour Cream, Cheese (Time to eat: 2min 30sec)
Burrito #2 - Rice, Black Beans, Carnitas, Mild Tomato, Corn, Sour Cream, Cheese (Time to eat: 3min)
Burrito #3 - Rice, Pinto Beans, Chicken, Corn, Medium Green Salsa, Sour Cream, Cheese (Time to eat: 6min 30 sec)
Burrito #4 - Rice, Black Beans, Steak, Mild Tomato, Corn, Sour Cream, Cheese Lettuce (Time to eat: 17min)
Total Calories = approximately 4200
He started off very strong.  He would tear off the extra tortilla from each burrito and make a pile for the end.  He absolutely crushed the first two with no problem at all.  The third was a bit slower, but he actually made it through really well.  The 4th was by far his biggest challenge.  It was absolutely incredible.  He managed to get through the entire burrito, so he was just left with bits of the tortilla.  He got a glass of water and would dunk the tortilla before each bite. 
He successfully finished everything, it was insane.  I don't think I would believe it unless I was there.

Gross Right? 

In case the incredible nature of the events outlined above havent sunk in I went ahead and responded with the following...

I know the feat stands on its own but just for the sake of curiosity I had to crunch some numbers.
According to Chipotle's website and the information passed on, Robert consumed the approximate nutritional values:
Calories - 3800
Fat (g) - 114
Sodium (mg) - 7340
Carbs (g) - 281
Calcium (Daily %) - 120
protein (g) - 189
An average male aged 25-50 is recommended to eat the following nutritional values daily
Calories - 2200
Fat (g) - 65
Sodium (mg) - 2400
Carbs (g) - 300
protein (g) - 50
To give you an idea of how much sodium, protein, and fat Robert actually consumed I have provided the following comparisons.  As pathetic as it may sound I did check these numbers and will attest that they are scientifically correct.
7340 (mg) of sodium = 5.75 bags of Cape Cod Potato Chips.
1/2 cup of soy sauce = 7 cups of peanut butter
189 grams of protein = 24oz sirloin steak or 1260 cups of semen
114 grams of fat = 57 slices of bacon or 2 1/2 lbs chuck beef

Cheers!

I don't want to brag but...

We're number 1!!

Not Club Belmont specifically but Meeshy's alma mater Quinnipiac. We're the number one men's hockey team! Boom shacka lacka.

Finally people don't say "What's that?" or "Oh, they do those polls" anymore after I tell them where I went to college because we're kind of a big deal.

Bobcat pride!


PS - Yes it's snowing again but I opted out of giving it the honor of a post because tomorrow's spring and if I ignore it I'm pretty sure it'll go away. Winter is sucking my soul.

Who wants to go to Fiji?

Top o' the morning to you! 

Hope everyone had a fun and crazy St. Paddy's Day! I spent Saturday at a bachelorette for one of my nearest and dearest so most of actual St. Paddy's Day was spent lounging in recovery but you can't go wrong with dancing, laser tag, and too much champagne.

Sadly that means it's Monday again and there's another "snow storm" brewing for this evening (I use quotations because I don't believe a word out of the weather man's mouth anymore until he starts predicting warm weather for me - Pete Bouchard I'm looking at you). Cool guys, can't wait.

Soooo I decided to plan an imaginary trip - maybe 30th birthday trip if I start saving now - to gorgeous Tavarua in Fiji. One of my favorite lady bloggers is currently there and I've been obsessing over her pictures all week. It's gotten to the point where it's essential that I get myself there.

And what better Monday pick me up than planning a trip to Fiji in your head? At least the pictures are gorgeous and fun to look at.

Who wants to go to Tavarua with me??
