Mile Stone

Hey, kids! So it's time to celebrate. No, I don't have a job yet. Or a girlfriend (that sounds more pathetic than it should but it stays!).

This blog, my blog, has just reached 15,000 views (or reads, for those who aren't just lookers)!

It's a pretty big thing considering it's just a MySpace blog that I haven't whored out. I haven't gone to strangers and said, "Read my blog..." and I haven't put up flyers or sent out e-vites or e-mails or done e-crack or e-blown anybody. I'm proud of that.

So hooray for me! Hooray for us ('cause you're reading this)! Hooray for internets! Hooray for Tom (maybe)! Hooray for America! Whoohoo... Ah... Okay... I'm done, I think.

But you should totally have a drink for me and my blog. Or fuck. Yes! Fuck on my behalf! Because someone should... That really sounds sadder than I am. I'm okay, romantically speaking. Worry not. But you should totally fuck. Everybody's doing it. Hehe...

I have to thank my subscribers. Butch, Chrissy, Danny, Dustin, Liz, Joanna, Amanda B., Jamaal, Chris, Caleb, Davinchi (whomever you are), and that crazy-bitch I dated around Christmas of '05. Thank you all. You're a big part of this. But you're not alone. Some folks who read but choose not to suscribe ('cause they're gangstas..?) are: Amanda M., Cecelia, Jasmin, Sean, Gerry, and Isaiah. Thanks youse. Anyone I'm leaving out should clearly present themselves more openly. Thank you all the same.

Hopefully, I can continue to kick ass and take names blog-wise. Hopefully, I will continue to be inspired to write stuff on here (and more consistently). Yes, I'm aware that that last statement practically asks for more terrible commercials and people to come to my attention. But fuck it. You gotta take the sour with the sweet. You've gotta eat shit every once in a while to truly enjoy a good steak (figuratively). But I'm not a big steak-guy, but I'm weird.

Anyway, thanks again, kids. Here's to ya. :-P Pbbbbbbbbbth!!!

SuperBall

Hey, kids! So how about that SuperBowl, huh? Wow. I didn't think that Eli Manning really had it in 'em. But I was rooting for him. Well, not so much for him as much as I was rooting against Tom Brady.

Seriously, fuck that guy.

He's got everything in the world going for him. He's a pro football quarterback, a really good one, every chick loves him, he knocked up an actress though he's dating a supermodel (and ALL women have given him a pass on this), he was voted "Best Dressed Man in the World", have I mentioned every chick loves him, he's won 3 SuperBowls, and will invariably be running the entire world by age 40. I bet he even does charity work on the side.

Seriously, fuck that guy. If I don't hate him, no one will.

That all being said, I was talking to the teller at the bank today (yay, I'm not sick!), and she said that this was the best SuperBowl she'd ever seen. I declined to comment because I knew I had an answer that was going to take serious thought to produce. Plus, it was 7-3 until the 4th Quarter. Really? Best Ever?!

So I've thought, and the best SuperBowl I've seen thus far was SuperBowl XXXII (that's 32 for the non-Romans) between Denver and Green Bay in San Diego. You all might remember it as John Elway's first win. That was a great game start to finish. Brett Favre and the Packers had won the previous year and were looking to repeat. They were also favored by 11 points (thanks, Wikipedia!). John Elway had failed to win a championship in 3 attempts and his career was winding down. The scoring went back and forth all game. Favre marches, then Elway marches. Field goals for field goals. Defensive turnovers back and forth, but not in a sloppy way. You've got Terrell Davis rushing well, but leaving due to migraines. Then returning and rushing well (earning MVP honors). And you've got "the helicopter."

Needing a score, Elway, by shear force of will (and no open receivers), makes a run for it and is met by two Packer defenders. He dives head-first and is spun around like a helicopter (see how that works), while also getting the first-down. You could just see how much he wanted it. They score 2 plays later and the Broncos eventually win 31-24.

Aside from the fact that I called the outcome the year before, it was a GREAT game. Back and forth. And scoring. Yes, scoring. So was this last SuperBowl the best? Pfffft. I mock thee.

Also, I really missed Prince's halftime show from last year. They should just have him on repeat. Like, remember how Billy Crystal always used to host the Oscars? That's what they should do. I love Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, but it just wasn't enough. Not for the SuperBowl. Though I will say that lead guitarist Mike Campbell has never looked more alive. Way to go, Mike!

There's something else I want to finish with here. Under Armor. They make shoes and cleats. What exactly do shoes and cleats go under? Or gloves for that matter? And if you wear an Under Armor shirt as a shirt, doesn't it then also fail to be Under Armor?! Plus, the Under Armor guy seems like a total douchebagel (trademark, bitches).

Goodnight, kids. :-P Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbth!!!
