Each year, I get worse at picking the winners. I’m currently sitting 35th out of 39. The important point is that Michigan is still in. I also enjoy the current leader’s handle.
And what do teens like to do? Be on social media. Last year, I launched my VLOG (see #MasterOfWon: 1 Year Vlog Anniversary). This year, I expanded my video presence with Academy Award-winning short films on my TPOL YouTube Channel. What can’t TPOL do?
I will win my own tournament challenge. Even if I do, I will still meet and greet whoever comes in second. Typically, I don’t share my Final Four ahead of time. This year, I could not resist. Submit your picks for second place here:
It’s that time of year again. Time for disappointment for most, and glory for one- #Michigan. Winner gets a flight to Puerto Rico to meet TPOL. No golf required. Enter here.
*Free flights only from the contiguous USA, Panama, or Colombia.
Worse city, Indianapolis or San Antonio?
One year ago, I premiered my first Vlog. One year later, I am still working on Episode 2.
I need to increase my efficiency lest my earlier prediction, that TPOL’s Way Out of Poverty Is Not Vlogging, written in 2018, will remain true.

I have more points than ever, but nowhere to go. It might be a waste of money, but I will continue to pay the annual fee for new cards, believing that hoarding is better than letting sign-up bonuses pass me by.
Sleeping in the back of my economics statistics class, I heard the professor say, “Someone requested an overhead projector for their project, but when I responded, the email said to contact the secretary as the individual was in the Cayman Islands.”
What is there to do in Doha after 4 games of World Cup madness? The answer is not much. And that’s not because there aren’t things to see in this small nation (see Guns & Butter: Doha Travel Guide). The emptiness is a result of the circus leaving town. Without hunting down tickets (see The Guide to Buying Tickets for the World Cup And Other Big Events), going to watch parties (see World Cup Day 4: Portugal vs. Switzerland), or foolishly cheering for Team USA (see USA vs. Netherlands), I found myself lonely and depressed.
I went from the chaos of getting to Doha (see Epic Failure: Denied Boarding for the World Cup) to waking up with nothing to do. It ended in an instant. I spent the rest of my day at the Sheraton pool (see The Grand Dream), anxiously wanting the time to go by and for the knockout stage to begin.
