football
(the following doesn't always apply to me... but it does happen. And it's a shame that it does.)
Is it worth it when I sit there for a job waiting to get hired at a job, only to find out, I'm not qualified, because of the color of my skin, the god I believe, my sexuality... because I'm me?
How worth it is it for a child to beg on the streets for food for her/him and their family... only to be denied by the cold hearts of thousands of people, and eventually bumping into someone that's willing to give him/her some food.
... Our problems are small in comparison and should be brushed away when we bump into another that is less fortunate than us. Admit it... not many people take a damn good look around them to appreciate what the fuck they have.
What the fuck happened to religion...? Don't they all have the same basis? Don't steal, don't rape, molest, murder, commit hate crimes... what happened... where did we stray? This reminds me of Boondock Saints:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conner: Decent men with loving families... they go home after work and the turn on the tv, you know what they see?... rapists, murderers, child molesters... all gettin out of prison.
Murphy: Mafiosos *gun clicks* Get caught with 20 kilos... gettin out on bail, Same fuckin day.
Conner: And everywhere everyone thinks the same thing... Someone should just go kill those mother fuckers
Murphy: Kill em all, admit it, even you've thought about it.
Conner: Now you will receive us
Murphy: We do not ask for your poor or hungry
Conner: We do not want your tired and sick
Murphy: It is your corrupt we claim
Conner: It is your evil that will be sought by us
Murphy: With every breath we shall hunt them down
Conner: Each day, we will spill their blood, till it rains down from the skies
Murphy: Do not kill, Do not rape, Do not steal, These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace
Conner: These are not polite suggestions, these are cause of behavior, and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost
Murphy: There are varying degree's of evil, we urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain.
And sheperds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, For thee
Power hath descended forth from thy hand
That our feet may swiftly carry out thy commands
So we shall flow a river for to thee
and teeming with souls shall it ever be
In Nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti

While I may believe the corrupted should die, and the hateful and deceitful should perish. There is no reason for me to become one of them.
I resent the fact that people are too stupid... nay, naive to believe that the world we live in is fine. Even though they may accept the world sucks, they go on with their life as if nothing bad ever happened... ignorance, the devils best friend.
While I believe myself Christian. I refuse to call myself so. Because typically that I have seen, Christians, ask and pray for themselves and their loved ones...
How can one call one's self Christian and a believer of the Lord and Savior, when they are too centered around what they know, to pray for the faceless... the dying and hurt. Most of all, pray for unknown, the strangers that you may see, pray for the ease of suffering in all people... pray for the enemies that you have created, or that have turned society against them.
In my mind... I will help all those that want to be helped. All those that need help, will be offered, I will not force my presence nor my thoughts and beliefs upon them, I will not shun them because of who they are, how they look, or what they believe.
I will merely speak what I believe and let them choose what they want to hear... because face it, that's all they'll ever hear.
"For they are the sheep and I am one and the same, we are but innocents, searching for one another to bring back into the herd. It is only when they become humans that they are dangerous, for the become prey to the corruption that lays within the land."
The Broncos are on a bye week.
New England beat the Cowboys 38-21.
I don't usually like the Cowboys but, I like the Patriots even less so I rooted for the Cowboys.
The major one that seemed to take FOREVER was the Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints. The Saints won 28-17. It was horrid for the Seahawks but the Saints won their first game this season and it's week 6. xD
Laura came over for a couple of hours. We watched Devil Wears Prada....total chick-flick but I loved it!
We watched V for Vendetta......it was all right. Natalie Portman was pretty good in it. Although, if she was trying to imitate an Irish accent, she SUCKED at it.
Mom and I are still going through our crap. I can't help but feel still that we are going to end up in Idaho before the Football season's over. Speaking of Idaho, Denver needs to get rid of Cutler. I foresee a worse game than San Diego......gah!
Got a new Plummer jersey! It's orange and navy blue! I LOVE it!
Denver has GOT to pull out Cutler and bring back Jake or they will lose worse than last season! GRRR! DAMN YOU BOWLEN!
~BRING BACK JAKE PLUMMER!!!!~ *~316~*
call me perverse but i love living in a world where everyone is preparing for a specific day- sometimes stressing no end out those preparations - while i kindly watch the mishegoss and think "how nice that this is just an ordinary suday for me." it means that stores are emptier and airports less crowded and at 2 pm the cars are off the streets.
what's really interesting is how much we jews are forced to learn about the christian world while there is little that compels them to learn about our year. like lunar months, rosh chodesh, the meaning of the sabbath, why I don't go to the theatre on friday nights. that chanukah isn't really a big deal at all, and so many of their symbols were taken from jewish useage, and while of course we accept the historical jesus we stop at that line. that seders are not somber somber events where we eat dry crackers and horseradish and talk about death. and we are more likely to buy new clothing for rosh hashanah than pesach. and spring cleaning has it's root in kashrut. baptism in the mikveh, or mardi gras in purim. but enough. i like chocolate bunnies as much as the nice guy. just don't start eating them by chomping off their heads. talk about venial sins. oh man.

This is SOOOOO not me!
- Based on the first five weeks, my best guess for the Super Bowl would be Chicago and San Diego. Coming into the season, the big question mark for both teams was quarterback. No one was ready to put any faith in Grossman or Rivers, but their play so far this season has meshed perfectly with their teams. I'm not saying either is the best in the game, not even close, but they are both playing mistake-free football. The Bears especially look like the old Ravens, when all Trent Dilfer had to do was not give the game away.
- I think this will finally be the week the Saints show their true colors. They have obviously gotten off to a fast start, but their defense and offensive line are going to start to drag the team down. That being said, if they beat Philly this week, Carolina might not even win the division everyone, myself included, had handed them before the season started.
- How influential is a "Culture of Losing"? This is a phrase that has described teams such as the Clippers of the NBA and the Royals of the MLB. In the NFL, the Cardinals seem to embody it better than any other team. That Culture is a key issue in the debate over who will do better, Vince Young or Matt Leinart. Right now, Leinart clearly has the better team, but even with a different coach than years past, better players than years past, and even a new stadium, the Cardinals still cannot do anything right. The Titans, on the other hand, have a terrible team and still almost beat the Colts. Unless Leinart leaves the desert, I think I'm going to have to take Young by default. (And don't even mention Cutler until he plays in a game that matters, which he didn't even do in college--apologies to Vanderbilt, but they were terrible.)
- It was reassuring to see the young Niners bounce back after getting shut out in Kansas City. I realize it was against the Raiders, but it can be very easy for a team to lose its self-confidence after getting blown out 41-0...especially considering they haven't had a winning season since 2002 when most of its current players weren't even in the league. The only players on the 2002 team that year that are still with the Niners are Eric Heitmann, Brian Jennings, Eric Johnson, Brandon Moore, Tony Parrish, Derek Smith, Jeff Ulbrich, and, of course, Bryant Young.
As for the game-by-game predictions I made before the season started, my record is 47-27.
Interesting stats courtesy of ESPN.com: Any thoughts on who will rise and who will fall among the actives?

As for my MLB playoff predictions, it's pretty easy to see that I have no idea what I am talking about with the AL, but I might know a thing or two about the NL.
