Sick and Tired

Ever hear the saying "sick and tired of being sick and tired"? I have used it and lived it more than once, that's for sure. Winter blues? End of football season? Post holidays letdown? Staring down the barrel of a 2 zillion game baseball season? (I dig baseball, but damn that's a long season!)I can't speak for the rest of y'all, but I've always gotten down during the winter. "Seasonal Affective Disorder" or SAD they call it. If I lived in Seattle, this blog would be posthumous. Couldn't stand it.

The Super Bowl was a very entertaining end to the the football season. The first half was a bit wonky, but the second half was great. (Don't ask me to comment on The Boss' halftime show cause I never "got" Springsteen anyway. I figure I'm not the demographic for his stuff.) I think the refs were a little too involved in the game overall and certainly a factor in the final play. I think the Cards last play was an incomplete pass and they should have gotten one more play. Please believe that I had no rooting interest (see my last post) except for a good game, and it was that. Thanks to Ree & John for their hospitality before and during the game! Sorry about the onions in the Artichoke Dip, Ree...

Would you pass the bong to a guy with the lung capacity of an Olympic swimmer? I think not. But on a serious note, dude was arrested for dui a few years ago. Get your head on straight, youngster. The whole world is looking when you make a mistake.

I found it profoundly strange to hear the POTUS saying something I thought myself: corporate executives giving themselves huge bonuses - particularly the ones whose companies have failed - is shameful. I would have taken it a step further and had them rounded up for public humiliation, but that's just me. I can't think of a time I both a) listened to what the President had to say and b) completely agreed. Maybe it happened during the Clinton years, but I can't think of one off hand. It was surreal to think that my beliefs were being represented by the highest office in the country. Talk about a history of feeling disenfranchised. That word does not only apply to the poor and uneducated folks. Believe me.
