Ugh!

How is it possible to fail so miserably, I mean, insanely horrendously miserably, on the design of a car with a cool name and a turbo?

Clicky

That time again

Why is it so hard to get started with something you need to accomplish something you really want? These last weeks are gonna be hell on earth - nay - hell in hell. But I can see some sort of light at the end of the tunnel. December is upon us, we are so close to the carrot.

Continuance

Every day I wake up and find myself not in a holding cell or hospital bed is considered a victory.

Must have slipped my mind

I had a very short thing to present to you today, but it slipped my mind on my way home. Nuvel. Always Sunny tonight!

Thursday night, giggles and shits

Sublime is my mood-changer of the day. Why is it so god-damned hard to focus when the end is so near I can smell the sweet of the victory-champagne, the fresh leaves of the crown and the smoke of my 4am scotch? I finally managed to do laundry today, only 2 days late, and I'm actually making some progress on my paper. Now just need someone to revise my expansionist thesis and I'm back in business. Let's see if I can keep it up throughout the night, I'm expecting nothing earlier than a 2am tonight either.

But I'm happy for all of you :)

What you all came for, expert advice:

Chicago
@ Miami (Thursday night (who gets NFL Network anyways?))
Pick: Chicago +1.0
Just because Miami is QB-less, Cry-Baby Jay is playing marginally better and Chicago D is not as awful. Also Devin Hester Kinda rocks.

Warrior round-up

After looking back at the season, here are some things that will be remembered, in list form, in no particular order:

-Drawing a holding penalty on my first defensive play of the year
-Stopped a 2pt-conversion
-Tackles for loss in two different games
-Defensive captain against Southwestern
-Calling the alone for 2 games, and calling plays in the huddle
-Having a blitz called dabble
-Making the umpire laugh pre-snap
-Waiting for the play clock to wind down to call a timeout while standing next to the referee, just like the pros do
-Actually getting a sideline chant going at a halftime
-Getting a W in the worst game I've ever played, but probably the best game called as D coordinator
-Pass-blocking beastly as a tight end

And basically, everything that I'm forgetting, the friendships made, the jokes shared, the respect from teammates and the feeling of being an important part of a rag-tag team, despite horribly unimpressive stats for a linebacker.

Kevin, Jason, James, Brandon, Bryan, Kyle, Nick, Nate, Mike, Juan, Javi, Kevin, Brian, Kadim, Dave, Ken, Josh, Pat, Marc, Mike, Marco, Mike, Jason: I had a great time broing out with you guys.

Warrior Pride!
