Help, I'm Stranded!

After another brief hiatus, time for another addition to the wonderful world of...me! Since it has been a bit, I'll give you a rapid succession of updates on a bevy of things. Early present from me to you. Never can say I never gave you anything. :)

1. Watching pro football is one of my most favorite things to do. Period. Especially the electric and exciting Falcons...as inconsistent and make-you-lose-your-voice-yelling-at-the-screen prone they are. Michael Vick is awesome. I really wag the finger at the ATL fans sometimes. This guy, who has no O Line to speak of which is consistently one of the worst in football, hot and cold receivers, and a coaching staff that does not even belong heading high school teams [resisted "birds for brains" analogy here], lays everything he has on the field every single game and he gets torn down most every single game. Sure, he has his issues (being able to flip a perfect bird but is unable to flip consistent passes), but he is here to stay and is improving. With that said, fire the coaches now...please? Is it possible to fire an entire Defense? Just wondering...

2. First final down, two to go. Combined two day total of sleep...about 5 hours. Mood? Flat but vaguely optimistic. This overwhelming feeling, sleepiness? No...Hunger.

3. When do I leave here again? This shaken, and oh-so-stirred environment I call college...Ah yes, the 20th...maybe, just maybe, the 21st. Depends.

4. I have two major decisions to make over Christmas break. Exciting things are on the horizon.

5. Ug, I hate how insanely stupid some people act.

6. Jealously is an interesting thing - especially when it is directed towards someone you care(d) for. I am glad I don't have that issue.

7. Again, I love watching football. But if I see ONE MORE Jessica Simpson commercial advertising whatever it is she is advertising, I will go insane. I am so serious.

8. Who is this 'Road to Escondido' guy I always see who is referencing Marley in his commercial? I am sick of that one too.

9. Will Obama run or won't he? I say he won't this year. But if he does...I am voting for the guy. Period. Wait, I will be the FIRST to vote for this guy.

10. I really want to go back to Red Lobster now. Screw it, I'm just hungry.

I'm out to go solve my hunger pangs. What I wouldn't do for some home-cooked food right now. With Cube Steak, White rice with brown gravy, green beans....

I seriously need to go. Until we meet again.

10 Things I Think I Think

I saw this idea for a topic on a popular sports website by a writer and decided I would do my own little version of it. So, here we go....

1) I think the next two weeks of my life are going to be the craziest ever. As Iverson would say, "Stress?" "We talking about stress?"

2) I think that I am not surprised by what Kramer said concerning his racist remarks. People fail to realize the Civil Rights movement wasn't even a full generation ago...

3) I think that Red Lobster is my favorite restaurant ever. I also think their Virgin Pina Coladas are awesome.

4) I think that working with some people you don't like (or have had prior attachments to) can either be one of the worst or one of the most interesting experiences in life.

5) I think that I am ready for the 20th, the date of my last final and the day I will be going home for Winter Break.

6) I think it needs to snow like 3 or more inches (in one day) in Atlanta this year. I'm tired of it being cold as hell without snow. I liked snowball fights...

7) I think the Falcons will not finish above 8-8 for the year. I also think Jim Mora and Ed Donatell need to be fired at the end of the season.

8) I think the Hawks will play .500 plus basketball once Marvin Williams gets healthy and inserted into the starting lineup. So, Joe Johnson, Zaza Pachulia, Speedy Claxton/Tyron Lue, Marvin Williams, and Josh Smith/Shelden Williams will be quite a formidable starting lineup.

9) I think that the Iraq war is a disgrace...

10) I think I am tired of thinking.
