I'm getting a little lazy about this

Okay so 10 days since the last post.

Work's getting busy as election season comes around.  More snow and snow and snow.  Mom had a birthday, so did my best friend.  I've learned to maybe find some interest in watching hockey thanks to the olympics.  Haven't watched a damn movie in forever though that may change tonight with Law Abiding Citizen.

Watched the boring ass health care debate yesterday and came across thinking none of the dems wanted to listen to the reps and obama had this shit eating grin almost all the time where you could just tell he wanted to keep reminding them he won and he can do what they want.  We'll see about that.

Sports is pretty boring.  Steelers keep Hampton which I'm okay with but they franchise Jeff Reed?  Are you fuckintg kidding me?  He's a kicker.  You can find other ones, espescially ones who won't go beat the fuck out of a Dennys bathroom or take pics of their dick.  Nice choice there.  Let's pretend there's a salary cap so we don't get anyone good...but then lets give the kicker 2M.  Wow.

Locally they're closing one of the 2 buildings my wife teaches at because they can't afford to keep both open.  Simple economics.  The problem is their school is partially funded by the churches..who are getting less money thanks to people not giving as much because they're pissed off about our dumb ass bishop who wants to build a new cathedral mausoleum that NOBODY wants, NOBODY will donate to and NOBODY supports.  Apparently it's God's will to piss off a town which was about 60% catholic and get most of them to think you're an untrustworthy douchebag.  Nice. 

So because he's too chickenshit to face the music and his people and take the heat he throws everyone else under the bus and passes the buck.  A+ leadership on that one.  And people wonder why folks leave the active faith.  Its not about not liking Jesus, it's about not wanting to put up with incompetence and personal legacies from people who ought to known better.

Well its been awhile.

In that time we've had another foot or so of snow, the Saints won the Super Bowl, my sciatic nerve turned against me and I rediscovered my love of NES games.

First, the wife and I caught Pandorum finally. 

It was okay.  Plotline was one of those you REALLY have to pay attention to and the ending was so so.  Dennis Quaid played a pretty good character but there was just something about the movie that left me feeling like it lacked something.  It won't go in the DVD collection and I don't even know if I'd watch it again on HBO or something.

** out of *****


So we finally have the feel good story of the year with the Saints winning.  Why do I feel good?  Because I won $100 when Peyton Manning choked like usual.  He's a great QB, he's going to end up with a ton of records.  But he's not clutch and he's not the best of all time.

 

My back is feeling better and I'm still fighting off this ankle and its swelling.  But overall I can't complain too much...which is rare.   It's just one of those moments that I get where I realize that things ain't so bad.  I have the love of my life, a loving dog, a place to live, a shit-ton of entertainment options, great friends, great job, great coworkers and soon to be by summer maybe a nice house of our own.

Next up most likely is the Final Destination....finally.

Snow Snow Snow

We're in the midst of a small blizzard here.  8-16 inches predicted.  I think we'll get 9 tops but who the hell knows.   No real entry tonight.  Hope to watch Pandorum soon and take some pics of the snow.   Stay toasty.
