I come home tonight and some crap called "Here comes Honey Boo Boo" is on the TV downstairs. What in the name of all that's holy is this drivel? Seriously... that is the worse crap I have ever seen on TV...

During the Super Bowl we were talking about issues with the college players etc. One of the issues i always have is the way fans fawn over and virtually idolize Clemson (or USC or insert any bigtime program) players... As long as they are playing. The moment these guys end their eligibility (and havent been drafted and become succesful at the next level) its like crickets... Who are you? ...tossed aside... Like this dude.... I just dont like the way they are idolized and yet if you say pay them for all the jerseys etc we are like "nooooo... Cant pay them... No no no...". And dont give me the free tuition and food crap argument. And as soon as the 99 % are finished with their eligibilty they are forgottten... We are idolizing the next Watson or Kelly... Or Beasley. We jump and down in glee over Beasleys decision to return to school because? It benefits Clemson. And if he gets hurt and is never able to get to the NFL? Oh well... Beasley who? Yeah Clemson football players who run up the score on SCState. That is, until they throw a couple of interceptions or run out of years to play....  
Doesnt seem quite right... Give everything all day to us. We get all the profit. If you are super good or lucky you might get paid 4 years from now... Else take that free track suit and deal with it...

Its one thing to lose the championship game... its another to get beat down. It sucks both ways.. but its gotta hurt worse when you play your worst game of the year in the final game...

Actually.. I thought a bit funny.... But the comments are somewhat predictable in all aspects...

Check this out.... Hmmmmm

Well... today I had a doctor appt. I was certainly impressed with my new doctor. Very thorough and seemed to cover everything. To the point I came away feeling very mortal. I need to focus in more on my diet and well being... stat. She had me get a TDAP shot. And it took a bit but then caused perhaps the biggest headache I have ever had. Considering I can only remember lesson than 5 my entire life it is something. That... and the ache of my arm and stuff... I bolted work early to come home and rest...

But I came away from my Dr visit encouraged that I have someone I can trust to help me during my visits. I just have to be responsible and accountable the rest of the time...

So today was a "snow day"... i must admit that despite that fact that it really only snowed about 1 to 2 inches here (much more downstate - rare that is), it was extremely hazardous driving home last night.... Somuch so that for the first time that I can ever remember, i almost lost control driving. The All Wheel Drive was not liking the solid sheet of ice until i switched into the M/S mode and lowered the gearing... then it was pretty much smooth sailing from then on. Kids had a low-key time playing in the snow...
i think the newness of "snow" has pretty much played out. Now it is more about getting out of school and sitting around playing video games all day.... They also have tomorrow off and well... i don't. Back to work for me.

What? You have just GOT to be kidding me?

1365 students were given the geography test at i-man's school and 29 were chosen to compete in the Geography Bee. Five rounds eliminated the contestants down to 10. Nine more rounds whittled it down to the final 3 students. I-Man was the last 6th grader left standing against the two 8th graders. He survived 3 rounds before being eliminated and finishing 3rd. He did quite well in that atmosphere and it bodes well for his ability to handle pressure situations in the future...

Movember is over...

Wow... So sad because that little boy is doomed....
