Just a simple blog for a lazy Sunday. Actually, I'm going to look at some houses today with the realtor. It should be nice to see what I can get for what the banks were saying they could offer me. That's what is kind of frustrating, though. I know I can afford more than they are offering, but it stinks that they won't give it to me. But my sister Katheryn was saying something to me once. She suggested that I wait to get a larger house until I actually find someone to get that house with, for instance, a wife. But we'll have to see about that, right....
Anywho, just wanting to type, and I think that emailing in this state may be a bad idea. Like I said in a bored-email to Michelle, it's like drunk dialing, with out the drinking or the phone. But the similarities are that it tends not to make sense. So, better do it on a blog that no one may look at.
But, if you do read this, I'd be interested to know. So, leave a comment, even if just to say, "I've read this."
Peace out, yo!

Frustrations with Football
Ok, I got the chance to go see the Vikings play the Colts. I was excited. Both teams had the week one losses, so it should have made for a good game. And it did. The Vikings had six distinct scoring opportunities and scored on five. The problem is that they were all field goals. Ok, that's fine when your defense is dominating the Colts. Sooner or later, though, Peyton Manning is going to get hot. And he did. As anyone can see, the Colts won by a field goal at the end of the game.
Now to my big issue. In any other sport, and also in football but with other positions, if someone is having a bad game, they get subbed out. Even if Kobe Bryant is not as successful as he normally is, he will see fewer minutes on the floor. So, can anyone tell me why this isn't the same with a quarterback in football. Tarvaris Jackson proved that he COULD NOT put the ball in the end zone! He had SIX chances to do that! And I know, some of it may have to do with play calling, but some of the blame must fall on the guy taking the snaps. Brad Childress, you have two other QBs and one of them threw for the Vikes before and did a decent job. Try looking at some of the other players that can throw the ball. Maybe you'll be surprised. Bench Tarvaris for at least the first half of the next game and just see how your other QBs can do.

Burnt, White, and Blue
So, I started listening to Dan Wilson's Burnt, White and Blue again. Man, I enjoy this music. I must issue a thank you to my friend Dominic for introducing me to Trip Shakespeare, Semisonic, and all that came to follow from those groups.
But what to write about today. Not much weighing on the mind today. I'll get back soon. Just wanted to share about the music. Go out and listen to it. Good stuff.

Get outta my head!
Ok, so I would say I have this issue with thinking too much. In fact, I think everyone has that issue at one time or another. I tend to dwell on things and not let them go in my head. Now, sometimes that can be a problem. Dwelling on things isn't always the best use of one's time. It can cut into sleep, cut into concentration, and help you not be as "with it" as you can be because you're distracted all of the time. I hate it, but I also don't.
I hate it because I'm no good when I'm dwelling on my thoughts. Like I said before, things just don't go like they are supposed to when I'm in my head too much.
I don't hate it because I like thinking about those things that get stuck up in there sometimes. It helps to provide me an escape from reality. Now, I should still be aware of my surroundings and whatnot, but it's nice to get away sometimes.
Overall, I think that we need to just relax and chill. You can't help the way things go sometimes and just have to deal with it like that. I wish that I could get it out of my head sometimes, but that would require somethings that just haven't happened yet, or won't happen, or will happen, but just not now. Confusing enough for you? Good.
Anyway, I think I just need to delve into a video game to get my mind off of whatever I'm dwelling on today.
