Packers vs. Steelers.... meh
Posted Monday, January 24, at 4:05 PM Don't care for either team. Don't care who wins. Probably won't watch. But I think the Packers will win. Both games this weekend were yawners until the 4th quarter. So much in fact, I watched movies on Netflix instead. Which is probably what I'll do when the Super? Bowl is on in two weeks...
Packers vs. Bears... who do I hate more? Go NFC North! I feel a bit better about my Vikes getting walloped twice by both the Bears and the Packers, now that they are fighting each other for a berth in the Super Bowl. My only problem is who to root for. They are both division rivals. They have both been a thorn in my side for 40 years or more. I used to hate Green Bay more because Brett Farve was there. Now I hate the Bears because Jay Cutler is there. Ah, such a hard choice...
NFL's 2nd season starts off with a bang Nobody, and I mean nobody outside of the state of Washington, gave the Seattle Seahawks any chance of winning Saturday's game. They finished the season 7-9, this first team in NFL history to make the playoffs with a losing record. They were playing the defending Super Bowl champions, New Orleans Saints. ...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL! Just wanted to take this time to say that I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and the very best in the upcoming New Year.
REALLY tired of politics It seems like a constant spin cycle. Every two years is an election of some sort.... Governor, City council, Senate/House of Reps, President, Sheriff.... it just seems to be a never-ending process anymore. And what glorious fun they all are. Vote for me because this candidate is taking all your money. Vote for me because I can change the way things work in Washington. Vote for me, I'll lower your taxes. Vote for me because..... who even cares these days...
Winter must be close..... Winter must be getting real close because I've already gone into hibernation mode. Every winter, due to the fact that there's not a lot for a person who absolutely detests cold weather to do, I turn into a major couch potato. I curl up on the couch under my comforter and while away the hours watching TV or playing on the computer. Not much else gets done, as I find my mind and body slowing considerably. Maybe I should have been a bear...
It's hard being a Vikings fan I just knew when the Vikings had to send players down to Mississippi to get Brett Favre, that this was going to be tough year. So far, my feelings of dread have been realized. The Vikes go into Sunday's game against Detroit looking like a team that could finish at the bottom of their division. It's quite possible that the Lions, who aren't playing all that bad right now, could beat the Vikes at home, leaving Minnesota at 0-3...
The world is going to heck in a hand basket, and the US is leading the way News stories about a church thinking of burning the Koran. Uproar over where a Mosque can be located in New York. Most of it just makes me shake my head. Why would anyone think that burning another religions holy book is a good idea? I understand that the Koran is the Muslim's holy book, their "Bible". I understand that some people think that Muslims are responsible for the 911 attack in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania...
Reality TV... WTF?? I'm an admitted couch potato. I love watching TV. There are shows that I just HAVE to watch when they're on. And then there are shows that I just don't understand how they made it on TV in the first place, and how they manage to stay on. Let's start with Jersey Shore. ...
Football, racing and other tidbits I'm so happy. Football is starting to crank up. I've already sat and watched 4 preseason games that don't mean a darn thing, and enjoyed each and every one of them. I can't wait for the regular season to start. Brett is back with the Vikings, but I have this dreadful feeling in my gut that they aren't going to be as good as last year. ...
No electricity = OMG moment We had a brutal storm roll through Sunday night. Winds in excess of 70 mph. Thunder lightning, rain.... all the fun stuff storms are made of. The worst part was the wind. At one point my front screen door, which was closed and had a eye-hook lock fastened, was beating against the door jamb so hard I thought it would destroy the door. ...
Politics and politicians Okay, I understand we need our Government. I also understand the idea behind how our government is set up. I also understand that our government is not working the way it was intended all those many years ago. See, back in the early days of our government, the politicians worried more about 'how do we help the country' and now it's more about 'how can I help myself'...
A mish-mash of things Gotta feel for Juan Pablo Montoya. Two years in a row he had the car to beat at the Brickyard 400, and he has little to show for it. Last year, a pit road speeding penalty cost him the win. This year, a bad call on pit road by his crew chief cost him. Someday, Juan will get his first win on an oval track in NASCAR, he's just too good a driver not to...
Ten things that really bug me My last blog was about tiny, yappy dogs that owners fail to keep in check. So this blog, I thought I'd go through a few other things that chap my hide. Number 10: Cell phones. I've never hidden the fact that I hate cellphones. Not that I don't think they can be useful. ...
Tiny, yappy, annoying dogs I'm an animal lover. I love cats. I love dogs. I even have a soft spot for squirrels. I had a girlfriend once that had a ferret, which I also came to love. But there's one thing I hate, and it's tiny dogs. Tiny, yappy, noisy, freaked out about everything, bark at the wind dogs...
It's tough sometimes.... It's tough sometimes to come up with something to say that may be interesting to other people. I find myself wanting to say things, but then I rethink it and decide that no one would probably care about that. Which is why I'm behind a bit on my usual schedule of updating my blog here...
When the mind overrules the body..... Or in this case, when I wish the body would overrule my mind. Went to a friends to play some volleyball, catch up with members of her family I see twice a year, and eat some really good food. Now, I love playing volleyball. The way we all play out at the farm isn't too competitive, it's more for laughs and some exercise. ...
World Cup Soccer and the NBA I tried to watch the World Cup Soccer game between the US and England, I really did. Two things made me change the channel after 10 minutes. The first, and most important, was the constant noise created by the fans with those obnoxiously annoying horns. ...
I don't feel any older.... Well, another birthday has come and gone, the 46th one to be exact, and like a lot of the others before it, I just don't feel any different. I had occasion to tell a friend the other day that according to my timeline when I was 15 years old, I have now officially crested the summit and am on the hopefully long downhill slide. I figure that 90 years of age is good to shoot for, considering at one point I never even thought I'd make it to 40, and now look at me...
Downhill slide? Maybe so.... So, I turn 46 years old on Saturday. I can still remember when I thought 46 was ancient. Now, I'm thinking 115 isn't even ancient. Funny how, as you get older, ages you thought were old, don't seem quite as bad as one thought. Yes, I take longer to do things than I used to...
