NFL Season

We are closing in on the start of another NFL season and I have never been less excited.  My team is chocked full of unproven rookies, some of which are hurt.  Several veterans are suspended, and to top it all off the team got sold in the preseason. 

I'm no psychic but I don't think my Browns are going to amount to much this year.  Frankly I'm not sure how much I'm even going to bother watching, and I'm losing hope that things will ever get better.  This plan of rebooting the whole franchise every 3 years only to get nowhere is very tiresome.

Call me when they're good again. (not waiting by the phone)


Never Too Early

With Halloween just around the corner you may be starting to think about designing your costume.  Or if you are more like my wife and I you will be digging through your closet frantically at the last minute or  maybe looking for cheap scrubs online so you can be a nurse for the 10th year in a row.

I always say I'm going to do something cool but never get around to actually doing it.  Perhaps this year will be different and I'll come up with a really good idea that I can implement cheaply.  At this point though I'm not even sure what would interest me.

Little Known Olympic Events

Olympic Synchronized Flatulence

Dock, Dock, GOOSE!

When I think of dock ramps I think of funny videos in which some guy has backed his boat, trailer and truck all into the water.

Of course in that case I'm referring to boat docks but there are also shipping docks that handle semi truck deliveries.  There are also docks for your ipod and laptop.  Clearly none of these involve trucks or water but I imagine there are still some funny videos to be found about them.

It's funny what comes to mind when you hear certain words.  Why do some things pop up first and others take some time to dig out?  Is it experience only or is there more to it?  I've never backed a boat into the water, but then I've never had a laptop dock either.

Olympics

I really love watching the Olympics.  The sports are ones that you don't normally watch and the work that these athletes put in to get to this point is staggering.  I really enjoy seeing them perform.

As usual, though, it's a challenge to watch things without knowing the outcome ahead of time due to the tape delay, but by avoiding a few specific web sites it can be done.  Clearly big things will be talked about so they may be harder to avoid such as Gabby Douglas' win in the all around yesterday.  I doubt that there were too many people who watched it last night without already knowing the outcome unless they went to great lengths to make that happen.

Life Insurance

Getting life insurance is something that no one wants to do but everyone should do.  It's an unpleasant task to be sure but your family will thank you for it should it ever be needed.  There are plenty of places online to get a quote like brand equote and zander insurance

Take the time to do the right thing for your family and get this done.  It won't take that long and isn't very expensive and the peace of mind you will have for knowing that your family is taken care of is worth it.

Mike's Music

It seems pretty obvious to me that Michael Phelps is pushing head phones now.  In nearly every prerace shot he is wearing head phones.  No idea which ones they are headphones maybe?, but he is clearly pushing a product line because they are a different color every single day.

I understand how things work but I get tired of being sold.  It bothers me when it is this obvious for some reason.  It is what it is however and we all might as well get used to it because it's not going away.
