Same Old, Same Old
Mood:  a-ok
We finally got on a winning streak! Sure it’s only 2 games, but we finally broke out of the win one, lose three, win one, lose three thing. I have no idea what that was about. We beat the Saints in high scoring action, but we were in danger of losing the week after, to the BROWNS! That would have been no es bueno. But Ben came up large in that game. He brought us back, and when I saw that shovel pass he threw to Willie Parker with 32 seconds left, and the fact that he made it look so easy, I was floored. The man is so awesome! I’m trying to relish in this win, because next week we play the Ravens and they are it this year. They’re 8-2 and sitting pretty with a 3 game lead over the Bengals, while we just had a knock-down, drag-out to not be the basement dwellers at 4-6 over the Browns.

I was wrong about what I said about if a certain driver wins the cup this year, and then the Super Bowl will be the two worst teams ever. Actually, that driver is more the Colts of the NASCAR circuit if anything. And that bastard won the Cup. Ugh. But if the Colts make it to the Super Bowl, I refuse to cheer for them. Last year, I probably would have, this year, not so much.

I can’t believe Thursday is Thanksgiving. Wow, this year is just over. And I’ve accomplished absolutely nothing, but I’m not feeling that low just yet to be depressed over it. Besides, I have another predicament to get out of. Okay, yesterday, November 20, was Lisa’s birthday. I sent a card last Thursday. But then she called me on Friday, and I missed the call (not on purpose, I may have been in the shower). Then she sent me an e-mail saying that my answering service didn’t work (not true, but my phone is starting to suck, two more months I can get a new one), and that she wanted to invite me to go out with her, Rem, some chick I’ve never met named Luna, and probably Lisa’s annoying ass boyfriend Mike. I can’t remember; I’d have to look again. But anyway, somewhere in the e-mail she said that she felt that I was shutting myself away from the world or something. That’s slightly laughable, but true at the same time. It’s not the world I’m shutting out; it’s just people I know. From a normal person, that might not make sense, but looking at previous entries a person could see where I’m coming from. She also tried to use the lure of “if you don’t’ have any money, we’ll pay.” No, still not going to work, especially not for your birthday. It’s slightly flattering that she wants me to go so bad that she’d pay, but that looks so horrible if you only go because they’re paying, on their birthday. If it was just some outing like in the summer or at some time that isn’t anyone’s birthday, there is a slight maybe, but I probably still wouldn’t do it. But like I said, I just don’t want to do it anymore. I’m just tired of trying.

Also Marcus called today. He left a message and I may call him back in a bit. I want to get all my bedding that I washed back on, so I’m not doing it on the phone, huffing and puffing in his ear. I don’t know, we’ll see.

I guess that’ll be it for me this time around. Maybe the Steelers can stun the Ravens (and the NFL) with a win, but, well, the tape will be running, so I’m going to enjoy this win we had. Oh, and to that old, senile analyst that said Ben Roethlisberger was overrated and Eli Manning wasn’t, he can smell my face. That goes to show what joke that profession is.

This song is still so beautiful.

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
But they're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

The one I think of when I hear those lyrics…

He's so adorable in that photo. Like a little boy who just won his first Little League game. Too cute.

I'm phasing.
