Football and Stuff

Here is my Fall Football Blog. Ready? Go.

I am annoyed that the Bengals still have Marvin Lewis as a coach when he's terrible, we're terrible, and we loose constantly. Also, Ocho my main man is now gone. I mean good for him that he doesn't have to play with hoodlums and convicts, but I'll sure miss him. On the Ocho note people are being WAY to hard on the guy. He said he was "in awe" after playing with a team that 1. knows how to play football 2. wins and 3. no one gets carted off the field and put in prison. I'd be in AWE too. All the ex-Patriot players were talking smack because THEY have never played on the Bungals and have no idea what it feels like to work/play/be a fan of them. It's tiring.

This year I'm rooting for the Bengals to loose and clean house starting with Lewis. Can't wait til he's the winningest coach in Bengals history with a loosing record. Perfect. I watched them Sunday and wanted them to play well but at the same time didn't. We lost. Go figure.

On to college. Love. My Bearcats got beat by TN but that wasn't much of a surprise. I got some new digs to show my support here in the Lowcountry and a car decal. I don't really understand having homecoming at the Bengals' stadium...isn't it called homecoming for a reason? Okay on to Pitt and Syracuse changing conferences. I think it's bad news bears for teams to leave the Big East for the ACC for a couple of reasons. I understand that football is the money maker at most school, but what about all the other sports? Basketball, Tennis, Swimming, Track and Field...what happens to these sports if in 5 years there are only 4 mega conferences? Will kids still get the opportunity to play, get scholarships, and compete at a college level? This def makes me nervous and it messes with my conference so I don't like it.

I'm glad it's football season and everyone is amped about it. Sat we were at the Roost and everyone was supporting their team (Clemson and Gamecocks fans galore), drinking, and having a great time. The weather has actually cooled off so it feels like proper football time. So glad I can sit in my own casa and watch football instead of going to a bar for every game! Bring it on Bearcats!

It's about time

I've been MIA for a hot minute but I'm back. I had fallen into the daily grind of work, sleep, hating work, talking about work, sleep, and more work. Stop. No more of that madness. It's so easy to get sucked into that world and hard to readjust when you get out. Being stressed for a year takes it's toll on your body, mind and dancers.

Last night Patrick literally scares the shit out of Pelota. Pup and I decided to go for a walk and Pat was MarioWiiplaying on the couch. I stopped near the mailbox to let pup sniff around when Patrick ran around the bushes and made some crazy noise. Pelota took off and ripped the leash right out of my hand, growling the entire time he was running away. Perfect guard dog we have. He came back when he realized he was far enough away to be out of harms way and it was only dumb Pat. I looked down and saw something all over the puppy and yes you know the rest. I had to clean him off and wash my hands before we could go on our evening walk. Way to go Puppydaddy.

I have decided that this world needs another book like it needs a hole in the ozone, but hell with it...someone might read it. Where to start is the hard part. What will it be about? Do I have this woman character searching for herself in Europe surrounded by booze, art, languages, boys, and tapas? Will she be funny like me? Does she need to have the experiences that I have had but with a twist to make them even more amazing or is it a book about people? My character could hate people and go through her life retelling the reasons people let her down. Will my other characters have your names or will I change them...just a little? I think the starting is the hard part. I think I'll just start in the middle and go back to the start and the ending...well it's not happened yet I guess.

Lets start. Go.
