party time!Happy Birthday 25th Ben! Enjoy Disney World! He’s down there for ESPN the Weekend. I was looking for him on Cold Pizza this morning, but he was not there.
However, his fellow Steelers’ teammate and SBXL MVP Hines Ward was. He was there with Carolina Panthers’ WR Steve Smith. They looked so tired. I know Hines has a son about 4 or 5 years old and Steve has like 3 or 4 kids, I bet they’ve been getting dragged around by them at Disney World since sunup.I can only wish Ben has a safe time, listen to the rides’ operators, and stay out of trouble. Then again, that’s my wish for his entire off-season.
Now some non-Ben related highlights:
• I was in my first car accident on Tuesday. We were on the way to my step-dad’s doctor, and we were waiting at a light and got rear-ended. That was quite an experience for me, and while I would be lying if I said that I would stop doing this, it was so embarrassing to be sitting in the car and having other cars pass us staring. On a flip note, I almost called Elliot in the Morning, but chickened out when it actually started ringing.
• Still very addicted to You Tube and Yahoo! Answers. I'm up to over ninety answers, and my latest best answer was to question "Why people hate on Roethlisberger?" I'll post it at a later date; it was really good, and long-winded. I never expect them to start out so long, but I really want to get my point across. If I had just said "jealousy", that's not enough. I'll try and post it next time.
• Lost (bestshowever) was a bit underwhelming this past Wednesday. It was a Hurley back-story, and I was quite disappointed because his are usually jolly interesting. Next week’s looks so awesome, and a little birdie told me that it is a Sayid back-story. His are usually pretty good. I think the let down from the past episode was that there was no action. All they did was restore a VW-type van. Next week Kate, Locke, Sayid, and Danielle (French Chick) are supposed to go looking for Jack, so there’s still hope.
• My new favorite show is Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? The great thing is that I know a lot of the answers, but the adults on there don’t. It’s so funny to see them struggle with easy questions. The bad thing is that I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s fixed. I’ll be so disappointed if that were the case. Some people are complaining that they never learned any of the stuff by the time they were in fifth grade, but that’s actually the catch, what today’s fifth-graders are learning is what the last generation didn’t learn until late middle school, if not high school. I should know, typing my mother’s entire kindergarten lesson plans. They are learning about money and geometry. I can actually remember learning about money in the second grade, I probably knew a bit about it anyway, but I remember my teacher, Mrs. Vaughan, had these big paper cutouts of the different coins. Why that sticks out in my mind, I have no idea. As for geometry, I’m not talking about identifying just circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. They have to know spheres, cubes, and RECTANGULAR PRISMS. WTF? I can assure you I NEVER had to know what a rectangular prism was; or at least not anywhere close to kindergarten age.
• Ashley came home yesterday, I think. I have not heard from her yet, but I have decided, that if she wants to try to get something together, I am taking no responsibility whatsoever. I’m not suggesting what we could do, where we could go, when to do it, or anything like that. I’ll let them get in touch and we’ll see what happens. A part of me said that if I go, I should show up like half-hour to an hour late. I probably couldn’t do that, but I might try.
• There’s no race on Sunday.
But there’s a Busch race in Mexico, tomorrow I think. I can’t believe that the Cup Series races for two weeks and then they decide they need a week off. Whatever. I might not get totally into it, but if I need my fix, it will be there for me. It’s just that Sundays suck so much with out racing or football.And now for a photo of the birthday boy:
What, you didn’t think I wouldn’t find it, did you? Goddamn. 
That picture is so inappropriately hot. {sarcasm} I especially love the fact that he went swimming with his Super Bowl ring. Nice. {/sarcasm}
Happy Birthday Ben!
I’m phasing.
