Weekend: September 01, 2007 - Ah, College Football Thank God it's finally time for College Football (not the Playstation 2 version) for real. As we've done the past two years, Jamie and I signed up to play in P-Chris' College Pick 'Em. He won in 2005, I won in 2006 and, if the season ended today, Jamie would win 2007. Fortunately for the rest of us, it doesn't end today. At the last minute I heard that Auburn had a key guy not playing so I switched my confidence points from 6->3 and Michigan over Appalachian State from 3->6. Bummer! Maybe it's because of their steel drum band, I knew App. State was in Boone, NC and had won the D-II championship last year; all of the announcers made it sound like it was a school that was chartered in May and no one had heard of it. Well, Mountaineers--I'd heard of you. Anyway, I still thought you'd lose. I watched the Auburn game was cheering against them like you have no idea. Had they lost, and our season ended today, I would have been in first place. Alas. Except for Tim, we all did moderately well over the "strangers". Tim will likely extract his revenge on T-Chris and me on Monday when we get together to play some football and watch FSU trounce Clemson.

Monday: September 03, 2007 - Labor Day My Labor Day was spoiled by not only the Dodgers put a whomping on the Cubs, but by Clemson annihilating FSU. Even though the final score of 24-18 looks like a respectable loss, it wasn't. FSU took it on the chin the whole game and the "new and improved" offense showed the same Where's The Run? of the Jeff Bowden era. Maybe Rick Trickett can't help the offensive line. They were just horrific. Both Antoine Smith and Drew Weatherford looked fine when the offensive line held (maybe 1% of all plays) but the o-line was just...terrible. There's no other way to say it, they were just awful. You get to go to school for free to stand there and push someone away. You don't have to really run or catch and while of course I wouldn't make it 30 seconds as a offensive lineman, I'm also not going to school for free. Anyway, even though I hate Clemson more than Miami (not as much as Florida), they played better and deserved to win. I'm not sure why they tore down the goalposts though--maybe we should do that again UAB...if we win. [Comments: 1]· permalink · · ·

Tuesday: September 04, 2007 - Pavarotti Dead Pavarotti died of pancreatic cancer today. And no, Jamie, he was not one of the three tenors who sang bass.

In other news, I haven't been to a trivia night since C&M left. Oh well, we never won anyway. [Comments: 2]· permalink · · ·

Wednesday: September 05, 2007 - Jobs I Want I was thinking last night of all the jobs I would want. Number one on my list is "back-up rapper". The guy who stands behind 50 Cent and says "yeah" periodically. I bet that guy rakes it in and he only needs to know one word. That's the life. Another job I might like is the guy that keeps track of downs during football games. Since I can count well past four, I am probably overqualified for the job but I would still take it. in addition to a hefty salary, I'm sure you get other perks like pats on the head from Chad Johnson. If I couldn't pull off one of those two, I wouldn't mind being one of the royal guards in a first-world country whose job is purely ceremonial. I'd still have some sort of weapon so no one would mess with me and I would never have to actually be in danger. Score! [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Thursday: September 06, 2007 - Honus Wagner Today it was revealed the rarest baseball card in history was just sold for $2.8 million dollars. Six months ago it was purchased for $2.38 million--quite a nice little ROI there. It blows my mind that something like that could be worth so much. Apparently there were only about 30-40 printed and since it's from the early 1910's (right after the Cubs last won the World Series) and it's the only one that's in near-mint condition. I understand why some artworks are worth so much--you can enjoy their beauty or ponder their meaning but a baseball card? I like baseball more than your average guy but come on, that's a ton of money for something that you can do absolutely nothing with. Maybe in ten years it will sell for $10m and I'll be kicking myself for not taking out a $3m loan and buying it today. [Comments: 2]· permalink · · ·

Weekend: September 09, 2007 - Pick Me Choose Me On Saturday, as is slowly becoming most Saturdays, Tim and Chris came over for some football and beer. The FSU game wasn't on TV and we couldn't get on the radio so we sadly just had to play video games. I think Tim was the big winner overall, taking both WV and UT to the whipping shed as LSU with his slanty attacks. We put in almost a full workday of the game again by the end I was worried Chris might explode all over my living room as his Longhorns took one on the chin in Morgantown.

Since both TAMU and Hawaii held on I was able to sneak out a win in this week's Pick 'Em. Fortunately for me, Auburn killed Jamie leaving me with a slim lead over P-Chris for first place overall. It's a long season but it's definitely easier to hold a lead than it is to have to pick crazy upsets each week in the hopes of making a move.

Monday: September 10, 2007 - Britney's Back Apparently Britney is back after performing at the MTV Music Awards over the weekend. Everyone railed against her out of shape body and poor performance. While I won't comment on performance (I didn't see it, although I'm sure it was a abysmal), she just had two kids. She's not a miracle worker, she can only look so good.

In sadder news, it looks like my mentally-vacating grandmother is headed for an assisted living facility. That sounds really cold but for the past year my dad has dutifully driven over there to attend to her every day and took a sabbatical from work the past six months and she apparently can't even remember that he visits at all. There's been some speculation that since she's lived alone for so long her memory deteriorated into nothing because she never really had to use it; she's at the point now where she can easily ask you the same question six times in ten minutes. It's really sad. I really don't envy the decision my parents have to make at all. [Comments: 8]· permalink · · ·

Tuesday: September 11, 2007 - Corkasaurus Last night I had a dream that Dr. Spencer died. I apparently was still in school and they replaced him for the Latin Sociology class I was taking with an equally charming but younger British guy. The only problem was that he was teaching out of his Buick Century. I had a good seat--the rear driver's side and there were two other students, both middle aged men. They were over-achievers and strikingly handsome. During the class I came up with a great idea--the corkasaurus. It was a single, thick piece of corkboard that could be "excavated" and when you had found all of the "bones" you could built some sort of dinosaur. Even now it seems like a pretty cool idea. Way to go dream. [Comments: 3]· permalink · · ·

Wednesday: September 12, 2007 - Defending Brit: Part II I never, ever, ever thought I would say this but I actually agree with Kanye West on something: that MTV exploited Briney, knowing she was going to suck. MTV got what it wanted--a ton of publicity, blogs and new sites everywhere linked to them and video rebroadcasts of the performance have been everywhere the past three days. When was the last time MTV was in the news for anything at all, let alone for anything related to music? The internet has decimated their key demographic and rightfully so--anything they can offer the internet, specifically social networking sites, offers one-hundred fold. So rather than changing their programming away from crap no one but Jamie and a small sect of tweeners in remote Idaho, they decide to humiliate someone who is already clearly down and out for the sheer publicity of her dreadful performance. I'm biased because I've never watched MTV except when Jamie would have it blaring downstairs but they've proven time and time again that they could care less about their original mission of spreading music and instead fill their programming hours with the chronicles of rich, snobby 16 year olds and teams of sluts and rapists competing for prize packs. I'd have a party when they went off the year but I just don't care that much. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Thursday: September 13, 2007 - Tag Day Since we haven't had one in a really long time, today is going to be a tag entry. I missed the 12 of 12 for no good reason but rather than putting together a fake day based on old photos and Photoshopping Jamie into a houseplant I decided to make up a tag day instead. Now, with that said, here is my tag: A Perfect World.

1) In a perfect world we'd never have to hear another word from Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.

2) In a perfect world Bill Clintonwould be president and Hillary would have never discovered politics.

3) In a perfect world iced venti vanilla lattes would be free.

4) In a perfect world Led Zeppelin would give free concerts every night and Creed would be their roadies.

5) In a perfect world the highest paid job would be teachers and benefits would include being able to send one student to the moon every semester.

6) In a perfect world I'd be able to nap with no guilt or fear.

7) In a perfect world insider trading wouldn't be a crime but everything else would have a much harsher sentence (like death).

8) In a perfect world there wouldn't be war because everyone was too busy well...you know.

9) In a perfect world Oz would air a new episode every night.

10) A perfect world would require abortion protsters to be sent to another planet.

I tag Mark C., Brian, T-Chris, and Ricky. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Friday: September 14, 2007 - Las Vegas Marlins This graphic really makes me sad. This is an actual mid-game photograph from a few days ago in Miami where the Marlins were hosting the Nationals. There were only 400 people in attendance in a stadium that, when hosting football games, is packed with over 75,000. What a stupid thing to make you sad, you say. You might be right--sad is probably not the right word, just disappointed. The Marlins, while profoundly in last place this year, nonetheless have two World Series rings in the past twenty years, which is more than I can say for the Cubs. You would think fans in Miami, wanting to see their winning team, might actually go to the games but instead they...I don't know, drive really fast around town. Ingrates. That goes for you too Braves fans--you don't know how good you have (ok, had) it.

Chris was our first participant in yesterday's tag and I'm glad I was able to draw him out of a three month hiatus from blogging. Hopefully we will see the rest in the next few days. Go State! [Comments: 1]· permalink · · ·

Saturday: September 15, 2007 - I'm in your pocket, disrupting your passes Dear Jeff Bowden,

I'm sorry. On behalf of all FSU fans, I'm sorry we blamed you singularly for FSU's problems. After watching Jimbo Fischer's offense "dismantle" Colorado last night I realized what you must have known for a while--all of the players that should be starting at FSU are sitting as 2nd and 3rd stringers on the University of Florida sideline. I now more fully understand that even Peyton Manning would not be able to win games for the Noles. The offensive line apparently just has some sort of fundamental lack of understand that they're there to block. Whether that's helping pop open holes for the RBs or protecting Weatherford, they just refuse to do it. So Jeff, I'm sorry. It wasn't you--it was your players. [Comments: 3]· permalink · · ·

Sunday: September 16, 2007 - Happy Birthday BU! Happy O'er The Weekend Birthday to Brian!

I wasted my entire worked on my thesis all weekend so other than a little football Sunday was pretty uneventful. Chris came over for a little while and whomped me so hard I wanted to be working on my thesis instead. Alex sent me a really funny IM but I accidentally restarted my computer before I could save it. Rest assured Fancy Feast was mentioned--I'll look for it tonight. The Cubs are now clinging to a two game lead with about a dozen games left in the season. It's too bad they have to play the Reds, who always seem to give them a good pounding.

Pick 'em wasn't disastrous but pretty darn close with all of the people behind me gaining ground after GT lost to BC. Everyone got the UCLA game wrong so that wasn't too painful but apparently I should have had less confidence in the Yellow Jackets. Oh well, it takes skill to net -3. Just ask the FSU rushing game.

Tuesday: September 18, 2007 - UF Gone Wild Some UF student got tasered after talking asking some seemingly normal questions of also-ran John Kerry. I can't believe I voted for him, what a moron. I think I'll be voting for Giuliani come next year. I think he's the best candidate from either party and although I haven't voted for a Republican in as long as I can remember I think being the mayor of New York is as close as a non-president can come to having any experience as a president. I also like Giuliani because he pauses before he speaks, as though he's actually considering the question before him. Hillary (and John Kerry before her) were the absolute worst for firing off stock answers and I really hate that. Obama does the pause and if it weren't for Guiliani I would probably vote for him. with the election well over a year away I still have plenty of time to change my mind but I think America is in dire need of a balding presidents--people who grow old and keep their hair are just too cocky because of it. Rudy! [Comments: 9]· permalink · · ·

Wednesday: September 19, 2007 - The Juice! Whenever I feel like things aren't going well or I'm a little bit down over something I remind myself "well, at least you're not OJ Simpson". What's particularly frightening about The Juice is that he's older than my parents and still getting into all this trouble, although I suppose that's what athletes, murderous one in particular, tend to do. I was surprised to see a story on ESPN defending him calling him "a victim of his past", citing that he is possibly having a "make-up" call against him; his sure-guilt now is making up for the fact he wasn't sent to Death Row last time he found himself entangled with the law. Whatever, as long as he stays out West where he can't kill, maim, steal from, or be near me.

In other news, Chris and Tim, you are going down next time we play football. Over the past couple of days I have developed the fauxption, where I run the QB away from the option so you won't be able to stack against it. Pat White is fast enough it's a good seven yards--perfect for those 3rd and kind-of-long situations. Normally I wouldn't play during the work week but since Chris was winning like 70-3 I figured I had to set aside some time to save myself from any more complete and total embarrassment. Look out!

Thursday: September 20, 2007 - Happy Birthday Grandma Doris! Last night I met up with in-town Amy, Chris, Christen, Jen(n), Danny and...someone to play trivia at Gil's Steakhouse. The questions were just as retarded as I remember although the first round photo challenge were all FSU attendees (including Randy Moss, tricky tricky) so that was fun. I contributed nothing unique and really spent most of my time trying to talk Chris out of correct answers. Amy has lots of funny stories although I don't think I'd be able to retype them out here.

Today is my grandma's 80th birthday and the last one she celebrates as a "free woman" since she and my parents have apparently found a retirement community they agree on. I think it's called "assisted living" but that's too depressing to say. Anyway, happy birthday.

Steve made it on TV for the second time last night at a Cubs but this time...he was hit by a foul ball off the bat of Adam Dunn. Apparently it whacked him in the ankle and after taking the blow the ball was stolen by some dude from a corporate party. He's where the arrow is pointing in the picture as the ball is coming down. Awesome.

The ol' blog has been getting solid traffic lately--between 150/200 hits a day. Not too shabby since just four years ago I would get excited if it broke 30. Looks like the new seo-friendly design of the last update worked some magic.

As a parting though, where is Ian? I've tried calling him once a week since I got back from DC and his phone just rings forever. Does anyone know if he's alive? IAN! [Comments: 4]· permalink · · ·

Friday: September 21, 2007 - New Day, New Storm Looks like the newest tropical storm might actually hit Tallahassee. It has been really, really nice here the past few days and even though temperatures have been in the high 80s the humidity is so low you actually want to be outside. With no FSU game this weekend I'll probably get a lot done on my thesis. And if that's not possible I'll probably get a lot of football in. Life's rough sometimes.

I've been listening to a lot of Chili Peppers recently. I'm amazed they haven't turned out any really bad albums yet. I've been trying really hard recently to not listen to the couple thousand songs on my playlist that I know and love in favor of new ones I've downloaded with the hopes of expanding the music I listen to. I haven't really branched out into new groups except for Coldplay but have really been more focused on finding new songs by groups I already kind of liked.

The blog is quickly coming up on its fourth birthday. That means the Time Machine feature (on the right sidebar) will get a new entry in two more months. I've found I use that feature a lot to see what I was doing a certain time which is why I've been recently trying to include at least a paragraph of general life. Anyway, time for a contest: This blog was started in November 2003--how many entries have I written in that amount of time? The closest without going over will win...something good. Maybe a gift certificate to Amazon (since I steal everything else from Brian). Today's entry does indeed count in the total.

How many entries?

Saturday: September 22, 2007 - Here's Your Ass It seems like everyone handed me my ass on Saturday. I quickly fell out of first-place in Pick 'Em and finished 15/18 on the week. I figured it was a week full of upsets--and it was. Too bad I picked all the wrong ones. Jamie had a great week finishing second and moving into second overall behind picks-against-PSU Chris. I can't really say anything since the past years I've done will picking FSU to lose. Alas. If nothing else I learned you can make up/lose up to 20 points a week, which will be handy in calculating my upsets for future weeks.

T-Chris and Tim took turns handing me my ass in Playstation football. Chris was thoroughly dominant throughout the whole night and his offense is absolutely killer. Tim was able to upset him in the penultimate game of the night with a last minute interception and then went on to whomp me in the final game. The turnovers were especially devastating and I coughed up the ball seven times in the last game, although I did manage to recover three of the six fumbles. Go Mountaineers!

Sunday: September 23, 2007 - Ahmadinejad at Columbia There's been a flurry of media activity over Ahmadinejad's speaking at Columbia University. The school has taken a lot of heat over having someone who denied the existence of the holocaust (amongst a long list of other unsavory ideas) and Columbia has replied that if Hitler were available they'd have him too. The press conveniently leaves out the second half of the sentence: We'd invite Hitler to speak if he were prepared to go up against the Columbia University students and faculty. I think Columbia is doing a great thing--I don't think most Americans know how terrible a person Ahmadinejad is and having him get absolutely torn apart by some of America's best and brightest (like Meg) would certainly churn up some good quotes of him looking foolish and bring some larger public awareness to Iran and their lunatic despot.

In lighter news, my adopted team, the Packers, are 3-0 while my former team, led by UF Superstar (hah!) Rex Grossman took it on the chin from the Cowboys. The Green Bay game wasn't on and I watched about ten minutes of the Bears game and with the exception of one drive the Bears looked really bad in every way. I look forward to rooting for them again once they get rid of Grossman...my fear though is that replace him with new-draftee Chris Leak. Come on, put Orton back in there and get me back as a fan!

I will announce the winner of How Many Entries Contest tomorrow so if you haven't submitted your guess do it now, it takes like 2 seconds (see Friday's entry). [Comments: 4]· permalink · · ·

Monday: September 24, 2007 - So Many Entries Congratulations to Jamie, the winner of Guess The Number of Entries Contest. There was a very wide spectrum of answers but at the end of the day there really were only three close answers: Jamie (1088), Elena (1200), and Steve (1318). At the time of the quiz, there were 1,114 entries. I started the blog in November of 2003 so there's been roughly 1350 days in between now and then. I think tossing up a post for 81% over a span of nearly four years is pretty darn good--more than five a week throughout the life of the blog.

I've already started working on the annual set of changes for the site. I spend so much time working on other sites this one gets painfully neglected. Over the weekend I wrote a new script that resizes the Photo of the Moment section so the pages should all load faster as the server workload decreases to take a smaller picture. I don't have all the bugs worked out yet--instead of resizing it's just cropping out anything that's bigger than the size I want right now. Also on the blog to-do list is rewriting the entries div's so that I can put a picture of any size in without it overflowing it's little area. I'm also working on a little daily sidebar game but that won't be ready for another couple weeks. [Comments: 4]· permalink · · ·

Tuesday: September 25, 2007 - Polarized Last night ESPN held a town-hall style meeting in Atlanta over Michael Vick, who was coincidentally brought up on state charges earlier in the day. Both the panel and the audience were about 50/50 black:white. I will say first that the panel, both races, were excellent. The audience on the other hand made me want to vomit. At one point there was a poll-by-applause whether dog-fighting should be considered a crime and the response what 50/50. Disgusting. The same 50% that were cheering for it not to be a crime were in the same group that were cheering wildly when it was brought up that Michael Vick is now apparently a born-again Christian. These were the same people that thought Bill Belichick deserved an as-hash penalty for taking videos of the defensive signs. Are you people that uneducated? Michael Vick COMMITTED A FELONY. Bill Belichick cheated and while that is heinous, he DID NOT BREAK THE LAW. Should he have been suspended? Yes, I think so. Do I think he and Michael Vick deserve the same punishment as you idiots called for? Hell no.

At another point in the debate one of the leaders from the NCAAP chimed in that Vick was being persecuted primarily because he's black and started asking all these rhetorical questions about if dog-fighting was such a big deal, blah, blah, blah spouting his bullshit about how this is a perfect example of racism and dog-fighting is just a cover. In an ironic twist of events, a leader of the Humane Society was sitting behind him and absolutely took him to school. TO SCHOOL.

I'm boycotting everything Atlanta now that I have better feel for the type of uneducated, Christian-claiming trash that live there. How dare some of you chant "Free Michael Vick" at the end. God, I hope there's an extra layer of hell especially designated for hypocritical, irresponsible, and ignorant people like you. [Comments: 5]· permalink · · ·

Wednesday: September 26, 2007 - Good News on the Homefront Yesterday I found out my thesis was officially ready to be passed on to my committee. Awesome. I celebrated by playing two games of football with Chris. In our "experimental" first game (calling all plays we'd never called) I won but in our second "real" game, he pulled out a last-second win with 0:06 left despite having that time left with 80 yards between him and the end zone. Chris has the Playstation pass figured out--the magic touch that can have the QB throw it with the right "touch". I still do not have that despite playing for almost a month on the weekends now. I can whip 'em in there but that can (and does) end up as an interception. One day I'll get you Chris.

The heat is on in the National League with only 4/5 games left. The Cubs have the "safest" lead of 2 games on the Brewers. The Mets have collapsed and the Phillies have been hot. In the NL West I'm pulling for the Rockies because they seem to be the short-term version of the Cubs (but with a tiny payroll and fans that don't care). It should be an interesting couple of days since they Cubs have already lost two in a row to the hated Marlins. A couple more losses and they'll be watching the playoffs...again.

Thursday: September 27, 2007 - Grey's Anatomy Premiere Last night was the Grey's Anatomy premiere. I didn't watch it but apparently just about everyone else on Earth did. Back when C&M and C&E were in town we used to watch it as part of a block with Desperate Housewives (another show I haven't watched in ages) on Sunday nights. I used to go play video games once DH was over while the rest of them watched Grey's. The show was just too unbelievable to watch--a problem I have with practically every show. It's ok to make a show that's unbelievable but at least stick with how things are unbelievable, like LOST (when does Lost start again?). You can make a compelling argument that every TV is unbelievable but the really good ones (Six Feet Under, et al) never, and I mean never make you say out loud, "oh come on".

Kathy has informed me reporting on Playstation 2 NCAA Football makes for a boring update and I should find a new hobby. With my thesis in a good place and the conclusion of my last freelance website about to end (hopefully tonight) I'm definitely in the market for a new hobby and am open to suggestions. Lay them on me. [Comments: 8]· permalink · · ·

Friday: September 28, 2007 - Cubs Win! [Comments: 1]· permalink · · ·

Saturday: September 29, 2007 - Clusterf*ck Saturday Wow. Now that was some college football. They were calling Upset Saturday but that doesn't really do justice to the clusterf*ck that happened. Florida, West Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma and Rutgers, all top ten teams all were beaten. Penn State, Hated Clemson, Oregon, and of course Alabama, were ranked between 11-25 and were all beaten.

FSU whomped Alabama and I don't think the score really reflects how good FSU looked in the second half. Kind of like when they played Colorado, once they defense knew the game was won, they decided they'd phone it in a little bit and Alabama made the game look more respectable than it really was. Until now I'd always advocated keeping Weatherford but I have to admit that Lee looked really good. When he's not making bad decisions it turns out he's a pretty darn good quarterback. Having a runner behind center helps a lot in opening up the pass too.

I suspect FSU will sneak back into the Top 25 this week. With so many teams losing, and they fact they'd only been really crushed for 1.5 quarters all season, I think they could get in at either #24 or #25. I don't think they would be (or should be) ranked any higher than that but it'll be nice to see them up there again. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·

Sunday: September 30, 2007 - Clusterf*ck Saturday Aftermath Tim made an enormous jump in the rankings to pull even with P-Chris in 3rd behind Chompy and Abs me and Jamie. I know this might upset the Pick 'Em Gods, but I officially declare our pool to be down to 12 people. I think the people behind T-Chris are officially out of it. You can make up 30 points but if it's Week 5 and you're already 70 points out? I'm not so sure. Not that he reads my blog, or even that I know who is, but kudos to Robby who, despite it being Clusterf*ck Saturday, made some excellent picks and made a huge leap in the standings. The only upset that I originally had was Illinois over Penn State but I switched them since I had SO many upsets already I wanted to hedge my bets. If only I had known there were going to be twice as many as I picked...including FSU. I picked Alabama over FSU but I will happily give those points up for an FSU victory.

Why is FSU not ranked? They beat the team that beat the #4 team in the country. They had a bad 22 minutes against the team that was, until Saturday, ranked #13. Have some pity--Nebraska should be out. I think be Kentucky (correctly) being #8, hell has officially frozen over and the Cubs will win the World Series this year. Hopefully they'll beat the Red Sox since I hate them the most of all the playoff teams. [Comments: 0]· permalink · · ·
