The biggest bummer about the Patriots losing is no weird cartoon from Tom Brady

The Patriots lost to Jay Cutler and the Dolphins Monday, and it's all my fault.

If you're a Pats fan, I'm sorry, and if you're a Dolphins fan, you're begrudgingly welcome.

I guess.

Here's what happened: I jinxed New England.

I was so sure they'd beat the Dolphins, so sure we'd be graced with another edition of the TB Times (the fake newspaper Tom Brady posts to his social networks when the team wins), and so sure I'd get the pleasure of analyzing it and going down yet another weird-ass, cartoon rabbit hole, that I totally blew the whole thing.

Here's proof, in Slack messages between me and my editor Nate Scott Monday evening:.

So lst night, in the throes of embarrassment that hits Patriots fans when Bill Belichick and Brady lose — and in a desperate attempt to stave off the nagging fear that Brady isn't immortal and is failing in his mission to become an ageless football robot powered by turmeric shots and lentil serums — I drew my own TB Times.

I know, I know, it's in black and white, unlike the colorful pictures the elusive artist who simply goes by "D.K." makes each week.

But I couldn't find my markers, and it was late, and I was very emotional.

I also drew this alternate cover, because at halftime we had to watch frosted-tipped chef (can you even call him a chef?) Guy Fieri feed commentator Jon Gruden sandwiches ("Gruden Grinders") for some reason:.

I later added Croc, the ever-present crocodile from the cartoons, because I initially forgot to include him.

In my haste to draw Croc, however, he ended up looking more like a salamander here.

Fun fact I just learned, thanks to Google: salamanders are amphibians, while crocodiles are reptiles.

Something new every day, folks, amiright?.

I tried to imagine what it's like to be an artist in the land of Brady's electric, all-natural-version-of-Kool-Aid acid test as I drew these pictures.

I bet when you descend into the Social Media Lair that I'm now fairly convinced exists underneath a TB12 workout facility in Waltham, Mass., or something, they greet you with a lemongrass-cayenne smoothie and a quick dermabrasion session.

Then a screen behind reception shows you pictures of wet noodles that will inspire your muscles to be more pliable before you begin your electrolyte infusions.

I have to say — and maybe TB12 therefore deserves some credit — since I started following the TB Times case as a Private Investigator of Sports, I do feel like I've been taken to new creative and sometimes unsettling places.

In the words of Kanye West, "Name one genius that ain't crazy.".

Now, I'm not calling myself a genius.

If anything, finding yourself Googling Bill Hader's entire acting career and trying to match it up with images from a cartoon posted to a qaurterback's Instagram is a surefire way to know you're the opposite.

All I'm saying is that when you've devoted most of your brain space to figuring out what a football player's social media means, and when that social media often looks like it was inspired by Fear and Loathing Las Vegas, and you stare at it for hours, and even dream about it sometimes, it can make you feel, well, a little nuts.

"We can't stop here, Tom, this is bat country!" I might've cried at my TV last night as Brady threw another interception.

Here's a picture of me in a corner of my apartment trying to crack the case:.

If I'd been thinking straight at 1 a.m.

last night when I was furiously scribbling weird pictures of football players, I would've drawn an actual version of what I thought the TB Times would look like had the Pats won.

Because I'm willing to bet we'd have gotten a reprise of the South Beach Spinners who appeared last time when the Patriots beat the Dolphins.

Watch: PENTAGON Is Surprisingly Good At Dancing To "Runaway" With Their Parts Switched

PENTAGON, who is recently starring in NewsAdes short video series, has taken on a new challenge!.

Many groups like TWICE, SF9, GFRIEND, and  have attempted the Part Switch Dance, where the members switch parts in choreography.

Although idols are in perfect sync when they perform on stage, the segment often reveals that they dont know their other members parts as well!.

Soompi. Display. News. English.

300x250. BTF Soompi. Mobile. English.

300x250. ATF.

In the video, nine members of PENTAGON (Jinho was absent due to a conflicting schedule) picked randomly to see whose part they would get.

Kino and Hui got lucky and got their own parts, while everyone else switched around.

Although PENTAGON themselves thought they werent doing very well, laughing at each others mistakes (Shinwon was particularly lost, to his leaders amusement) and yelling at each other over the music, the production staff was quite impressed, writing that PENTAGON might have produced the segments greatest result yet.

Watch the video below!.

Middle East; the Foreign Office have updated their travel advice for British holidaymakers

in light of the announcement.

US President Donald Trump�s recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital has caused

friction in the Middle East.

In Gaza, Palestinians threw rocks and debris across the border towards Israeli soldiers.

The Israeli army responded with gunfire, which is said to have injured at least 31 Palestinians.

Reports of conflict comes after Trump announced on Wednesday he believes �it is time to

officially recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel�.

He added in a press conference: "I've judged this course of action to be in the best interests

of the United States of America and the pursuit of peace between Israel and the Palestinians."Is

it safe to travel to Jerusalem?

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office updated their advice yesterday, December 7, following

the political unrest.

The government website advises against all travel to the Old City of Jerusalem from 6pm

(local time) on Thursday 7 December until 6am on Saturday 9 December 2017.

It states: �Following President Trump's announcement recognising Jerusalem as Israel's

capital on 6 December, Palestinian factions have called for mass protests across the West

Bank, including East Jerusalem, on 7 and 8 December.

�The security situation could quickly deteriorate, particularly around the Old City of Jerusalem.

�You should avoid all demonstrations across the West Bank and follow the advice of local

police authorities.�

As well as avoiding travel to Jerusalem, the Foreign Office advise against all travel to

the areas of Gaza and east of Route 98 along the Syrian border.

It�s also advisable not to travel to the Sheba�a Farms and Ghajjar, and within 500m

of the Lebanon border.

The website adds: �The security situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

can be fast moving, tense and unpredictable.

�You should be vigilant at all times and keep up to date with local media and travel

reports.�Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has thanked Mr Trump for the move

to bring the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem.

He said the country was grateful to the US President, who had �bound himself forever

with the history of the capital�.

Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is said to be preparing a diplomatic protest,

by issuing a complaint to the UN Security Council and appealing to the Arab League.

�We are going to declare the United States disqualified as co-sponsor of any peace process

or political process,� said Palestinian diplomat Dr Nasser Al-Kidwa.

AYS Daily Growth Hacks 207 What Else is Possible? - Duration: 4:01.

Today's topic: What Else is Possible?

Hi, I'm Doug Holt with Author of Your Own Story. And this is your Daily Growth Hack.

Where each day we give you a tip, trick or insight to help you up level what we

call the Five to Thrive. That's your mind, your body, your soul,

your relationships and your business. I just got back from the gym and I had

heard, I had a conversation, actually, with a young entrepreneur and what they said

to me was, they asked me a question, they said, "Hey, look, I'm either thinking about

traveling or thinking about growing my business. What do you think I should do?"

And the first thing I thought of is, "Why are you living in the world of OR?

There's an "AND" here too, right?" It reminded me of something my wife says to

me often but says it to a lot of people and she does it very effectively and the

question she just turns around asked us and says, "What else is possible?"

You know, when we're scheduling our lives - running multiple businesses, having a

newborn - things can get hectic as every parent knows. And now, with the Author of

Your Own Story lifestyle that we live, we also do a lot of traveling. And so, with

that becomes certain times when I'm scheduling a meeting. Maybe I have a

meeting for one of my agencies or maybe I'm doing an interview or I'm being on a

podcast, something comes up. And so, I've booked my time let's say from 1 p.m. to

3 p.m. for these particular meetings. And so I need to be in a quieter environment.

And then, maybe my wife has also got a coaching client or maybe she needs help

around the house or help with our son. Something along those lines so it's easy

for me to say, "No, I'm busy during these times. I can't do this. I can't take our

son. I can't do that." Then she's very eloquently says, "Okay, what else is possible?"

This opens up a river of possibilities, right? We can get a.. We can bring in a

friend who's a nanny, right? I can actually take my son and turn that

interview that I was going to do into an interview with my son which is even more

special to me. What else is possible? Maybe I could reschedule or maybe she

could reschedule. There's a lot of other options as what I'm getting at. "What else

is possible?" is a simple question that you can ask yourself or anybody else

when they give you a black and white answer or statement. Is it a yes or a

No. It's almost always

can be an AND. So simply asking what else is possible to yourself or to

somebody else, is a great technique that you can utilize to push

yourself a little further but also open up different perspectives. I use this in

sales, right? I don't say what else is possible but I use this terminology or

this framework to frame a sales conversation as well in business. And you

can use this in all areas areas of your life. So what I'm gonna ask you to do is

grab your Five to Thrive. Write out your mind, body, soul, relationships and your

business, and ask yourself, where am i living in the world of war and what else

is possible. And I think you're gonna find that you take five minutes maybe

even 20 minutes is where I'd really like you to do and really sit down with this

list and ask yourself now I don't care if you're a billionaire if you run

multiple you know multinational corporations you're a stay-at-home mom

or you're a student whatever it is. This system really works right so all you

have to do is question yourself come up with your list and ask yourself those

questions right Where am I living in the world of or and what else is possible?

That's it for me today. As always, go to authorofyourownstory.com, where you

get the latest tips, tricks and techniques delivered right to your inbox

each and every day and as always go out inspire some of somebody else by simply
