Mood:  irritated

He is here. HE is here. HE IS HERE! Ben is here, somewhere very close by, and I don’t know exactly where. He could be at the stadium. If he is, he is in Prince George’s county, 10 minutes down the street from where I graduated high school. The thing is I AM NOT THERE WITH HIM!!! This sucks SOOOOOOOOOO much!! According to my mother I should have tried harder with my father, but he was faking from the beginning. He said that he was only going to get one ticket and a parking pass. What am I supposed to do with that? I can’t drive. Tch, whatever, I am not stressing out about it. Even though I got a “Terrible Towel” last year and my “Ben Roethlisberger 7” handbag came by UPS yesterday and I can’t show these things off with my people. I am so sad right now. Sure, he’ll be here again next regular season, but those tickets are even harder to get. Whatever, I don’t care anymore.

On a bright side, Tony Stewart won at Watkins Glen road course last week, winning 3 out of the last 4 races, and has now climbed to the fourth spot in points! WAR TONY STEWART!!! He’s so awesome. Unfortunately, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson’s crew chiefs were suspended for the past 6 races and come back this week. If anything, I need a DNF from Gordon more than Johnson (although, if he wanted to hit a wall again, that is fine with me); just to close the gap some in the points lead. But Jimmie Johnson’s crew chief has been suspended twice in the past two seasons, which means he’s a total cheater. It’s not fair, but what can I do about fair. Hopefully Smoke turns to fire and captures a third Cup Championship, wishful thinking once again on my part. Tony starts practically in the back in the 35^th spot in tomorrow’s race, so he has his work cut out for him, but he likes to get hot at the right time, remember, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish, and Tony is great at finishing high.

I also have another problem. It seems that some people take the Internet WAY too seriously. They act like there is a prize for getting the most "Best Answers" in Yahoo Answers. Do you know how many times I felt robbed because I didn't get a best answer? They need to get over it, it's a fucking website where people give their "opinions", rarely facts, and sometimes the Asker picks a best answer, sometimes they let it go to voting. The thing is this guy e-mailed me, saying I was using “voter influence” because the question was “What was the greatest record in sports?” and my answer was “Ben going 13-0 as a rookie starter.” So he TOOK THE TIME to look up my profile and see that most of my contacts on the site are Steelers’ fans and thinks I must have begged them to vote for me. Not even close to being true. I hate talking on the phone to people I actually know in real life, I’m not going to beg practically total strangers for something as petty as that. I did point out that if it were all about being a Steelers fan, then the Asker would have given me “Best Answer” anyway because he is one and he’s in my contact list. Then I told him that it is just a site on the Internet and he shouldn’t take it so seriously because it is not a life altering thing getting a “Best Answer.” Truth be told, I am cheating at it, I have 3 different accounts, but I’m still not begging other people. I did point out that I only got 3 votes (nobody voted for him, so he must have been jelly*) and I have more than 3 contacts and that if he’s so pressed about it, he could e-mail my contacts and ask if I do that. I have gotten a good portion of my “Best Answers” from going back and voting on them because, most of the time, people always go back and vote for their own answer anyway. And someone else could have gone to their contacts and said “Hey, vote for my answer so I can get 10 points.” You know what? I don’t fault them for that, I told all of my associates about the website and as far as I know, they haven’t signed up for it. If they had, and let me know about it, I would probably do the same thing. Then again, I might have only given them the name of one of my lesser known accounts so I could continue with the main account without having them know it was me. He needs to get a life in the worst way, he sounds like those WOW guys that were jelly of Leeroy Jenkins (so funny). I can't remember who said it, but I remember the quote, "complaining on the Internet has replaced baseball as America's past time." Too true.

I didn’t feel like fooling with the Launchcast today, you can’t repeat like you can with You Tube and since it’s been ages I’ve been on there, it has loads of weird music I haven’t rated yet and it takes too long to weed through. Like with You Tube, I FINALLY found out who sings the other version of All I Want for Christmas Is You, that they played on the soft rock station EVERY year at Christmas, but NEVER said what her name was, some chick named Lisa Lane. Right now I’ve got Fall Out Fever and am treating it by listening to Thks Fr Th Mmrs (Thanks for the Memories) every 3 minutes and 22 seconds. I LOVE this song, the dance remix isn’t half bad, either. This was one of the CDs I was contemplating getting when I ended up buying the My Chemical Romance one. Not complaining though, Welcome to the Black Parade is a solid album.

That’s enough of me enjoying America’s new past time; I have to go sulk until the game starts tonight. GO STEELERS!!! I can’t wait for the regular season to start though, I’m so nervous about it, what if we lose every single game and the Browns have really improved and other stuff that will eat at me until the games are over? I just have to remember to take it one game at a time.

Before I go…
