So as the Patriots tumble slowly without Brady behind the offense, so also goes my fantasy football hopes. Building off of him in three of my leagues, the rapid death of the offense has led to what is turning into a series of weekly crushing defeats.

At least I still have college football to keep my spirits high this year...

Imagine if you will a young woman who lives in constant fear of the man she loves doing something stupid and "breaking" himself. Normally this fear is only consuming about 5% of her brain, family and school consuming the rest, but there are times where that 5% is well warranted.

For you see, the man in question was invited to his first professional ( Read more... )

I was just told I had a ticket waiting for me to see the Redskins play the Saints tomorrow ( Read more... )

So as I have time to kill today, at least until I get the car out of the shop, I have been kicking the ol' tires of YouTube. I have to admit that when you need to find something obscure, it can be found. My case in point I am slowly working my way through the Matchbox 20 songs and as I do, I realize how much I enjoyed them in the day, and to be ( Read more... )

I may or may not have already acquired this song to add to my iPod shuffle setting, as well as written the suggestion that the local high school choirs begin singing this song in their concerts.

After watching two people on the phone while muted on tv, I got the idea to add my own soundtrack. Of course I know Sprint commercials are never supposed to be serious, but what the hell. It has to be as good as what they write....right? I swear I think if I sold this conversation to the Korean cell phone companies, aka mini-soap operas, that I  ( Read more... )

College football kicked off this weekend, well technically on Thurs, and with it the first chill in the early morning air and the promise of no more preseason football. The fantasy rosters are set, mine will come in dead last in my division this year, and on Thurs there will be a guy many of you are familiar with sitting on his couch with tears of ( Read more... )

So after looking back over the rambling poems, it seems they are a bit on the not so happy and smurfy side of the fence. I guess from time to time some of the old ghosts from the buried part of my mind resurface and need to be put to rest, which I think is what happened last night. I think it is just a sign that while one bottle of red wine is a ( Read more... )
