So basically it was the 1 year anniversary of my dad dying... I remember last year, I get up early on Saturday, get a phone call.  My dad is in the hospital, and he is on his way out.  He was 54 years old, had cancer.  Didn't go to the doctor when the warning signs started and earlier in the year was diagnosed as terminal.  As I said, I got a call and had a decision to make.  So I made the decision to fly up to Ohio.  I got another call when I was in the airport, he was fading fast.  They put the phone up to his ear and I told him I was on my way, if he could hold on for a couple of hours, I would be there.  Well, he died about 15 minutes after I talked to him on the phone.  He was really drugged up, so I got no response when I was talking, but he knew it was me.  So he let go and I was on my way to pay my respects.  Later that night, I got all geared up to watch Ohio State play USC.  I didn't know what to expect, but I felt maybe it would be my night, since I had to deal with the tragedy of losing a parent.  Not so much.  Got the double kick in the crotch.  tOSU get's blown out, and I got wasted drunk.  The next few days I didn't have time to really dwell on what happened, had to go to his house and deal with going through stuff.  It didn't really hit me till a couple of weeks later, that's when I came home from work and completely fell to pieces.  It was good, therapeutic.. I needed it. 

So fast forward to 2 weeks ago... I had another falling apart deal while watching the shittiest movie ever done by Steven Spielberg.. A.I.... yeah, I know, WTF... it was at the end where the robot boy lays down and goes to sleep as his "mother" lays down to go to sleep and die... yup... I lost it... such is life... I guess I needed that... So now, fast forward to yesterday... I went to play golf with my drummer.. the weather was shitty... I imploded on 3 holes and had triple bogeys which completely ruined my game, I would've shot under 50 if not for those bogeys... I did hit the flag on the 9th hole, par 5... I had a great drive, then set up with my hybrid 3... hit a really nice shot except it was a little right, and cut through a tree and went into the water... if not for the tree I would've cleared the pond... so I take a drop and completely fuck up with my pitching wedge... it didn't go in the water, but it stuck in the mud in the bank... so I dig it out, set up to chip and then I hit the flag... it rolled about 15 feet to the left... I 2 putted for an 8... it was raining, so we took a rain check... I'll be back there on Saturday morning, hopefully the weather holds up this weekend...

So I get home, eat, start watching CFB... the scUM, Notre Lame game is on, amongst others... I watch and get tired and fall asleep, wake up in time to catch the end of the scUM, Notre Lame game... I did hear Lou Uber Homer Holtz talk his noise about NL at the half... I was not rooting for scUM, but I was happy to see Lou Holtz have to eat his words... It was a great game though... hands down, any time a CFB game comes down to the wire and a young QB leads his team to victory, it's cool to see... well, it's cool as long as it's not against your favorite team...

So it's getting closer to game time... I tried calling The Greek about 10 times.. said the call couldn't go through.... I'm nervous, excited.. all of that pre-game jitters and shit... then the game starts... INT for a TD... I said "Here we go again."  But then Pryor leads them down field for a TD... I said "Alright, maybe it will be different."  It was... It wasn't a blow out, but it was another heartbreaking loss... although this year, I was not as upset and depressed as in past years... I think I have been taking the loss rather well... tOSU played a way better game, but at the same time they made a lot of poor decisions when it came to short yardage and clock management... Pryor is not god... he is not Vince Young... he is a sophomore QB that has a long way to go... maybe he will be better by the end of the season... we'll see... One thing I am happy about, is that tOSU beat the spread... There were so many people on here that predicted a 2 score victory, that it wouldn't even be close, that tOSU was gonna get blown outta the water after that close game to Navy.. well, everyone had to eat their words so to speak... yes the Trojans won, but it was not as impressive as it was advertised by so many...  HA HA HA!

Now today, I get ready for NFL... hoping that maybe, just maybe the Browns will buck the trend and win a home opener... I know it's a long shot playing against Adrian Peterson & the Vikings... especially with Brett Favre there and all... but I had hope... then it was gone when I saw the score was 34 to 13... so fuck!  what can I do?   My teams just can't win when I need them to pick up my spirits...  They are however just games... I do realize that... yes, I know some might be shocked to see me not loose my mind and get all pissed off and curse the universe... wish for a comet to slam into the earths surface and kill us all...well, slam into Ann Arbor... but still... there is nothing I can do... I have a lot of stuff going on this week for work, so I don't have time to be all pissy and depressed over football...

So aside from all of that... congrats to scUM & Teddy... nice to see your team back up... we'll see at the end of the season.. after that win against the Lame... I am a little worried about "The Game"  at the end of the year...

Hope everyone has a good week... My band is now officially looking for a lead singer... If you live in the central Florida area and know of anyone who can sing to heavy/melodic music with a good vocal range & and a nice growl.. hit me up and let me know.. we have some great music... just need the right vocalist to fill it in...

Anyway, I have a big meeting on Wednesday at the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando... then after the meeting we get to go to Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure for the rest of the day.. I may play golf at the par 3 course on tuesday or thursday evening... then Saturday, Golf in the Morning and CFB the rest of the day... doesn't get any better than that!

Have a good week everyone!

And as always... FUCK michigan...
