Yay for the Hawks heading back to Tampa for a repeat of Iowa vs. Florida Outback Bowl 2004. Hopefully. That was such a great game, and a great trip for that matter. And I'm crossing my fingers, wearing my lucky undies, rubbing my rabbit's foot, praying to Allah and anything else that could bring me luck that Texas kicks USC's ass in the Rose Bowl! I hate those snobby bastards out in Cali. And could their mascot be any more ridiculous? I tanned guy clad in gold-plated armor wielding a sword and donning a feathery Trojan hat? Riding a white horse like out of a fairy tale? What a freakin' douche! "V" for victory, yayyyy...ugh, shoot me now. And learn to play a different effing song, will ya? GEESH!
On an unrelated note, it was -9.6 degrees when I headed out to start my car this morning. WTF's up with that?!? I don't remember the last time it was that friggin' freezing, Mr. Bigglesworth. My bro slipped and fell out in his apartment parking lot on Saturday....dislocated his shoulder and everything. He called his girlfriend to come take him to the ER but he ended up popping it back into place on his own. Um, ouch. Poor lil fella. I'd like to know why in Iowa, a place that endures 3 months of crappy snowy and icy road conditions every single damn year, we still can't manage to have a better snow removal system in place. I swear, our snowplows go out once in the middle of the snowstorm and plow...but don't come back out AFTER the snow has finished! So the streets are still a mess. When they finally do come back through after everyone's already gone off to work or whatever, they still leave a good inch of shit on the road to freeze into a solid block of ice that my car cannot contend with. Me no likey, damnit! Git yer heads outta yer asses! And I love the idiots driving around town in their trucks with their big-ass plow blades attached to their front ends like they're gonna save the town from being engulfed in a sea of snow. In some cases, they're very helpful and muchly appreciated. There's always the one jackass though whose blade sticks out another foot on either side of his truck and likes to drive too close to the center line....I always think he's gonna scrape up my car because he's not paying attention to shit.
I hate winter...I hate getting up the extra 15 minutes early so I have time to warm my car up and scrape it off, I hate the gazillions of people at the mall, I hate being stuck at home when the roads are bad, I hate it when the snow turns black from exhaust or when the snow gunk builds up underneath your wheel wells causing your brakes to suck even more, I hate how my hands are so freakin' dry that my skin is cracking and making little sores (gross, I know).....
....he's a mean one, Mr. Grinch...
I really wanna watch March of the Pengiuns right now....'cause penguins, along with manatees and monkeys, are the cutest fucking things on the planet. Guhh, I really shoulda majored in animal sciences....IDIOT!
