Sole Possession of First

Well I just finished watching the Bears beat the Lions in overtime. I’ll talk more about this on Tuesday morning, but I just wanted to say one quick thing. I was pretty mad about that backward lateral/forward pass controversy. When you watch the replay, it was one of those plays where if the ruling on …

Go Sox Go

Congratulations White Sox. Despite never having the media backing you the entire season, you still pulled it out. You have really been the best team in baseball since week one, and no one gave you the recognition. Everyone was waiting for the collapse. People were still saying “watch out for the Twins.” And when the …

Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Seven)

Well, a couple things you can rely on, a couple things you can’t predict, and week seven has come and gone. First of all, my fantasy season continues to plummet (this was my first week where I didn’t even break 100), even though my gutsy move of picking up and starting Brandon Jones (rookie WR …

Digitized Pictures

I digitized some pictures that I had. Here’s some of my favorites: The coolest picture ever. Well, it’s at least the closest I can get. This is me at the cliffs on the Aran Islands. This is me as Archangel, and Karl as an Ent (?) from a makeup class we were in. B-b-b-b-b-baaaaad, b-b-b-b-b-b-baaaad.

HBP

First off, it must be strange that a die-hard Cubs fan like myself was jumping up and down and yelling when Paul Konerko hit a grand slam last night. However, I don’t get the whole Cubs fans must hate the Sox and vice versa crap. I’m totally cheering for the Sox here, and I’m really …

Why Best Buy Represents Everything I Hate…

I worked at Best Buy for a little over a year, and it was the worst little over a year in my life. Now that’s not to say that nothing good came out of being there, and I certainly wouldn’t appreciate where I am now had I not gone through the shadow of death. I …
