Not much is going on really. Of course, like every other year in my life so far, I have not made it to the Fantasy Football playoffs. It is amusing to watch my friends as they roll with the ups and downs of Michael Vick being their starting QB or neglecting to start TE Eric Johnson. We are hosting a gathering at our place this evening. Anywhere from 12 to 25 people may show up. We purchased an assortment of 96 beers yesterday. I purchased a Polk Audio surround sound home theater speaker package last week. Two front speakers, two rears, a center speaker and a sub woofer. I am still figuring out how the hell to make it sound its best and which one of the 2,000 modes the receiver should be on. The company holiday party was this past Thursday night. I would say the attendance was anywhere between 4,500 and 5,000 people. It is at a nice banquet hall with open bar and free food all night. And some bands, comedy and magicians showing off their stuff. Probably the biggest party I have ever been to in my life. I am glad I did not do anything stupid. That and getting home safely were my only two goals really. Oh, and too eat a lot of food. That goal, unfortunately, I did not accomplish.

I got all 11 games of the ALCS and WS burned onto DVD's. It is cool, but odd watching the games in full. Game 6 was interesting. It really showed how classless and at times clueless NY Yankees fans are. And the A-Rod slap play was great to watch again. That play just shows he is not a winner at all. I saw the Bourne Supremacy the other night. It was alright - not as good as the first. It would have been better if it did not all take place at night. Besides that, it had good action and car chases. If you have not seen the first, you should before you see Supremacy.

It is important to know that this Bush Administration still sucks. During the run up to the election, just about educated individual was aware of that. Do not be distracted by the approaching NFL playoffs, the cold weather, or the low crab craze. Looking back, it is really amazing how our country is so divided and so stupid. I mean, look where the red states are and where the blue states are. Educated people and highly regarded education institutes are just about all located in blue states. Did you ever wonder why the ESPN Dale Earnhardt movie did so well the other week? The United States Election day rolled around and John Kerry lost. Everything then flies under the radar for a bit and we put all that stuff behind us, as we move on and adjust to four more years of lies, deceit and mismanagement. Just remember, Iraq is still a total disaster right now. It isn’t getting any better at all. Elections are coming up and it is only going to get worse.
