Super Blow

Anybody else think this Super Bowl is really weak? I hate the cardinals... So I guess, go Steelers?

Jeezy Chreezy

Holy wow, it's been a while... I suppose I'm back simply because I had a thought.

I was thinking the other day, perhaps inspired by the commercial about the new G1 phone that includes a Google search function, that I hope that general (and even specialized) knowledge does not go away due to fast access on the internet, the way phone numbers have been forgotten due to the cellular phone book.
I know many people who can no longer recall many (or any) of their friends' or family's phone numbers because they've simply entered them into their cell phones and forgotten, because they are now only referred to by name. Not only is this disturbing in the sense that we are relying on devices to do something we didn't seem to have much trouble doing on our own in the past, but it's also very foolish to put all your stock in a device that, if dropped in the wrong way, or gotten wet, may stop functioning, in which case you are completely lost! I admit I too am mostly at fault in this area as there are at least a few numbers I use a lot, but would never be able to recite from memory. I do still have the important ones locked in my head, and I hope that this is the case with everyone else.
I pray that the internet does not do the same thing to us with regard to answers to simple questions and that it augments rather than replaces our knowledge of the wide array of subjects in the world. However, more and more it seems people (especially young people) tend use the truly useful information on the internet for school or work in a cut and paste fashion, never really absorbing the nuggets of wisdom therein. I hope my fears are unfounded, but I'm starting to think, especially with the advertised combination of Google and a cell phone, that we are only starting down this dangerous road.

Catching up

So yeah, I missed a few days... my bad. To sum up what happened:

- Fantasy football team ate it last second, despite what appeared to be a miraculously horrible game by Eli Manning, Le'Ron McClain's unrecorded fumble became recorded and my win unrecorded into a recorded loss. :(

- Caught up on some Netflix and a bunch of DVR movies and shows, which was primarily due to not really doing anything else and also having gone grocery shopping so I can sit on the couch and eat all day like a perfect American! ...Also my Netflix reviewer rank finally went up again. Yesssssssss.

- Went to lunch at my coworker's house but was very hungover and couldn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Almost threw up and/or violently shit about a dozen times. Faaaaantastic.

So basically today marks the final debate between the old guy and the black guy, so that should be interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing somebody break character... or at least, I hope they do.

I found this online today and it made me sad. This guy is a full fledged gaming (WoW) addict, to the point where he doesn't even seem to want friends in a game that is MADE so you can make them, play, talk and interact with them. He also spends over $5000 a year in just subscription fees, not to mention costs of expansions, possible upgrades to the computers and TIME WASTED. What the hell is happening to people these days that makes them isolate themselves to the point where they spend thousands of dollars to circumvent having to actually meet, make or interact with friends or just people who most assuredly share your interest because they PAY to be involved in the exact same thing? I don't get it.

Blah

Oh man, it gets hard to write everyday when there's nothing going on... and of course, when I don't expect anyone to call or want to do anything, EVERYBODY calls to hang out, and I miss it all, while I do absolutely nothing. I hate how that goes. Life is retarded.

Another day, another debate

So tonight marks another of this season's fabulous debates and I do believe it could be the finest yet. All the stars will be out, wearing the most glamorous outfits and dining on the world's most expensive oysters and caviar, waiting to see who takes home this years coveted presidential office award. I know I'll be there, drinking for every "change" and "America". More news on that as it develops.

On a side note, I did end up losing my fantasy football game and fell into second place because Drew Brees apparently owes money to too many bookies and threw the game. What a fuck! Oh well, there's always next week.

Go Drew Brees, GO!

So I was watching some football yesterday, keeping an eye on my fantasy team when lo and behold, a highlight comes up wherein the quarterback of my team, Trent Edwards (whom I replaced Jay Cutler of the Broncos with at the last second, due to speculation of better performance) was struck in the head and chest, momentarily knocked unconscious and carted off the field with a concussion. At that point, I pretty much kissed any hope of winning this week goodbye, wished Trent Edwards the best through the aether and watched what turned out to be a few pretty entertaining games of football. So, I've decided to start going with my gut and common sense instead of listening to all the stupid hype these guys try to sell me. I was doing just fine before I took their advice. But if Drew Brees has a good game tonight, I may yet end up in 1st place for another week, despite my loss. Cross your fingers for him and me that he doesn't get knocked on his ass too. And yeah, I'm addicted to fantasy football now... all I can say in my defense is... better this than cigarettes!

Sarah Palin says it all

So as far as last night's debate goes... A quote from Sarah Palin -

"Also, John McCain's maverick position that he's in, that's really prompt up to and indicated by the supporters that he has. Look at Lieberman, and Giuliani, and Romney, and Lingle, and all of us who come from such a diverse background of -- of policy and of partisanship, all coming together at this time, recognizing he is the man that we need to leave"

Enough said. Thanks Sarah.
