I refuse to make this a place for politics. There are enough places out there for that. However, I feel compelled to say something about what has happened with the economy the last few days;
Are you freaking kidding me?!?!?!?!?
The stock market looks like a train wreck, banks are failing, people are losing their houses, and McCain says with a straight face that "the fundamentals of the economy are strong"? Then, when caught completely depantsed by both the news and the media, he tries to peddle it as "I was referring to the workers as the fundamentals of the economy".
Yeah, right.
Anyone else feel like a "fundamental"? Because I sure as hell don't.
Feel more like a prostitute. Willing to do what it takes to make a buck and stay alive for another day.
OK, that's it. Back to the fun things in life. Be good.

A nice start
Have to admit, but Sundays this fall are going to be weird for me.
I am a diehard Ravens fan. I am also a realist at heart. I am not one of those drooling fans who think they are going to win every game and win the Super Bowl each year (see Redskins fans for that). I just want them to play well and hopefully win a few more games this year. I also work late Saturday night and Sunday night, so sometimes a 1 o'clock game may be tough for me.
That being said, I watched the game yesterday from start to finish. It was a nice first game. Not great, but good. They still have things to improve on and hopefully they will. The kid Flacco looked comfortable running the offense and made good decisions for the most part. I still like Troy Smith, but the guy looked like he knew what he was doing back there. I think the pickup of Lorenzo Neal is going to be the thing that could turn this offense around. A few years ago, they picked up Sam Adams for the defense and he turned out to be a cornerstone of a record breaking defense. Now, I'm not saying that the offense will break records, but Neal brings an attitude that has been sorely missing on that side of the ball for some time. The defense looked like the nasty unit we have become accustomed to seeing in this town. Smartest thing management did was keep Rex Ryan the coordinator. The defense loves playing for him and it shows.
It's just one game, and there are a lot of season to go, but all in all, a nice start.

Anyone else?
Anyone out there having a weird week too?
Man I am so out of sorts it's not funny. Work and other things are so out of whack at the moment I feel like I'm standing in the eye of a hurricane. Take one wrong step and you get hit with a flying cow.
OK, back to sleep for a bit. You guys be good and look out for yourselves. I'll be back, I promise.
