unFALCONbelievable!

Its amazing that with all the funny things that run through my head on a daily basis, I can’t stop by here and share them with the world as often as I should. There should be a way to keep this open ALL the damn time, so I can let the world in my head. Then I could teach the world to sing. Or at least buy them a Coke and take them to a mountain top. Where they could all be shot for being so damn gay.

What a weekend for the alma mater! Not only a nationally televised game, not only ESPN Gameday, but they stuck it in NIU early and often and pretty much sent them screaming to the store for more KY Jelly. And it was beautiful.

I keep telling myself that I should do one of those trendy, witty, “what I was thinking every minute of that game” diaries on here, but I’ve got the attention span of a … a… sorry, I was watching Simpsons. But anyway, looking back, I’d think this weekend’s “diary” would have to look something like this:

Saturday:
10:32am – Gameday from BG is starting up, feelings of amazement, pride, joy, elation and such are being replaced with thoughts of “why am I not there getting rained on and hammered?” and “Its 10:30am and I have 15 hours of work ahead of me. Why am I not there getting rained on and hammered?”

Noon – Gameday is over. That was fun. Aw crap, now I have to watch OSU-Indiana. It *is* for work, but why am I not rained on and hammered in BG?

3:20pm – The OSU-IU game was just as boring as advertised, at least I’ve got some highlights to work with. At least the Michigan game starts in 10 minutes and is a nice holdover until BG kicks off.

3:58pm – Touchdown MEEEE-chigan! Okay, 7-0, time to turn to the BG game.

4:05pm (or so) – 3 minutes down, 14-0 BG. Strangely nervous, but you’re not getting this grin off my face. GO BG!

…and so on.

Sunday would have been different. (Times are assuming I hadn’t taped the Browns game to spend quality time with the family and girlfriend.) :

1:05pm – Okay, we know the Browns have struggled, but lets see if they can play lights out on the road…AGAIN.

1:20pm – Browns go down 3-0.

1:45pm – Missed FG, good thing its only 3-0

2:15pm – THANK GOD its only 3-0.

Now I don’t remember when the Browns got their FG, but it shouldn’t come down to that. The offense looks much less lethargic with Kelly Holcomb in the game, but I really don’t know if he’s the sort of QB you can count on. I mean, for goodness sake, he’s no Jake Delhomme!

So maybe I’ll come up with that one of these days. Then again, I may actually turn this into a real site some day. If I do that, I have to promise myself to come around to it more often.

The problem with wanting to do a real site isn’t just the “more dedication” thing, though. I’d use it for both personal and professional interests, though I don’t know if I want potential employers to hear about strippers and bachelor parties. Which begs the question, why don’t I have more strippers and bachelor parties in my life?
