Extremely lame title, I know, but good ones are hard to come by. It is so boring without the Steelers playing, but that's the one weekend I can enjoy the NFL, because I don't have to worry about them losing. We play Denver (2-3) on Sunday night, so I'll be able to see them. I have mixed emotions about it. Baltimore (4-2) and Cleveland (3-3) won this past week, so that makes this next game really important, just so we can keep a lead in the division. The Bungles lost again to the Chiefs, dropping their record to 1-4! It makes me laugh, because they were so hyped this past off-season, and now they're falling apart at the seams.

I really loathe New England. They look so... good, and that pisses me off to highest level of pisstivity. And according to ESPN, we should just cancel the rest of the football season and give them the Lombardi. UGH.

Jeff Gordon won, AGAIN. Come on, Smoke! I hope he didn't peak too early. It was a night race on Saturday, but I had completely forgotten about it. College football was just so awesome on Saturday (and has been all season, so far), upsets galore this season! At one point when I had turned the race on, I noticed there were a lot of empty seats. I hate to tell NASCAR how to run its business, because it was successful long before I started watching, but they might have to shorten their season. That's why they invented the Chase, because they knew that viewership and attendance drop dramatically when football season rolls around. Oh, and I think Jr. had another engine failure, but I can't be sure.

I found out that I didn't miss my mother. She became a total hag again. I did all that cleaning and making sure they had something to eat when they got home, and she couldn't have cared less. I just don't care anymore, though. I'm just going to do the school stuff for her, but that's about it. The less time I spend with her the better. I'm sorry, I'm getting sick and tired of her being angry at EVERYONE else, but taking it out on me and my step-dad, who do EVERYTHING for her. The thing is my brother is jealous, but he lives in Alabama, so he doesn't know the real deal. I've always noticed that she's had split-personalities. It's totally a Jekyll and Hyde thing.

The only good thing that has happened since they got back is that I've uploaded just about all my music to my phone. It's so great! I don't have to carry all that stuff with me like my CD player and extra CDs, it's all on my phone, and I rarely leave home without my phone. Technology is too much. The only thing is that there are lots of songs I like, but I don't have, and I don't really have the means to buy the CDs or the songs off of Napster or anything (and I'm not downloading a music-sharing program because of all the spyware). However, there is a place where you can legally download songs for free, it's ad-supported, but it's a bit of a hassle. Like you can't burn the songs to a CD, it's not compatible with an iPod (it did say it was okay with other mp3 players and phones that support music), but the thing that kind of turned me off the most was that you have to renew your account with it every 30 days. If you don't, all the songs you downloaded will disappear, even the ones you've uploaded to your mp3 player! God help you if you're out of town and don't have access to the Internet. I think every 30 days is too much, maybe like every 90 days would be better. I am tempted to try it, and if I like it, I'll keep up with the renewal, if not then I'll have to find some other way to get songs, because I'm loving all my music on my phone, and I know that it could get better. Especially if I could find all the songs from my YouTube lists, then I could listen to them without coming on the computer. Not that I don't enjoy it, but I do wish I could listen to them when I'm elsewhere.

I still really fancy Tony Reali. The wait for 5:00 on Monday was unbearable! *Sigh* I guess I'll just have to ride it out, but I do enjoy it so. Like I said, he has the exposure advantage over Ben, because I see him at least 5 days a week. Although, with Pittsburgh being in prime-time this week, if Ben has a decent game, and looks sexy like he is so wont to do, than my theory goes up in the air. Even though if Ben has a good game, they'll talk about it on Around the Horn, and I will be very happy all around. No downside, unless Ben has a bad game and the Steelers lose, because that makes it so hard to watch ESPN the following week.

OMG!!! I hate ESPN with the fire of a 1000 suns! They didn't show Around the Horn at all today (Thursday)! Something about Joe Torre quitting the managerial position of the Yankees. Who the hell cares about that?! Okay, I know they probably would have discussed this on ATH, but I'll never know because they didn't show the episode. The worst part is that they cut in at 5:00 on ESPN to talk about it, while they were also talking about it on ESPNEWS, AND they were going to bring it up during Sports Center! Of course, instead of showing ATH on ESPN2, they showed a re-run of a NASCAR countdown show. I know I like racing, but that was a repeat, ATH would have been a new episode. I am so goddamn angry. I mean, I plan dinner around this show. After a day of cleaning, and lesson plans, and other miscellaneous things, I like to sit down, eat, and watch the cute host preside over bickering sports writers. Is that too much to ask for? Jesus Christ, Goddammit! The only Tony fix I got today was that they played "Over/Under" on PTI today. And they ran that show only once. Tch!

I guess that will be it for me this time around. I forgot to mention that Ben's college Miami University (of Ohio) retired his jersey this past weekend, so you know where this is going...
