...its official.

I closed my eyes, started clicking, and now my website is coming around. http://www.haveyoumettony.com

really, its gonna be fun.

...She's got leg, she knows how to use it.

so paul mccartney and his (almost my age) wife had a kid. its his 3rd, her first. I guess he's got a leg up on her in the parenting department! *rimshot* it was funny at work at least.

saw a squirrel pee today. not something I waited for, or even really planned on seeing. was just watching a squirrel rummage around on the car port and it just let fly. I'm jealous of the freedom.

time to go back to work.

...unFALCONbelievable!

Its amazing that with all the funny things that run through my head on a daily basis, I can't stop by here and share them with the world as often as I should. There should be a way to keep this open ALL the damn time, so I can let the world in my head. Then I could teach the world to sing. Or at least buy them a Coke and take them to a mountain top. Where they could all be shot for being so damn gay.

What a weekend for the alma mater! Not only a nationally televised game, not only ESPN Gameday, but they stuck it in NIU early and often and pretty much sent them screaming to the store for more KY Jelly. And it was beautiful.

I keep telling myself that I should do one of those trendy, witty, "what I was thinking every minute of that game" diaries on here, but I've got the attention span of a ... a... sorry, I was watching Simpsons. But anyway, looking back, I'd think this weekend's "diary" would have to look something like this:

Saturday:
10:32am - Gameday from BG is starting up, feelings of amazement, pride, joy, elation and such are being replaced with thoughts of "why am I not there getting rained on and hammered?" and "Its 10:30am and I have 15 hours of work ahead of me. Why am I not there getting rained on and hammered?"

Noon - Gameday is over. That was fun. Aw crap, now I have to watch OSU-Indiana. It *is* for work, but why am I not rained on and hammered in BG?

3:20pm - The OSU-IU game was just as boring as advertised, at least I've got some highlights to work with. At least the Michigan game starts in 10 minutes and is a nice holdover until BG kicks off.

3:58pm - Touchdown MEEEE-chigan! Okay, 7-0, time to turn to the BG game.

4:05pm (or so) - 3 minutes down, 14-0 BG. Strangely nervous, but you're not getting this grin off my face. GO BG!

...and so on.

Sunday would have been different. (Times are assuming I hadn't taped the Browns game to spend quality time with the family and girlfriend.) :

1:05pm - Okay, we know the Browns have struggled, but lets see if they can play lights out on the road...AGAIN.

1:20pm - Browns go down 3-0.

1:45pm - Missed FG, good thing its only 3-0

2:15pm - THANK GOD its only 3-0.

Now I don't remember when the Browns got their FG, but it shouldn't come down to that. The offense looks much less lethargic with Kelly Holcomb in the game, but I really don't know if he's the sort of QB you can count on. I mean, for goodness sake, he's no Jake Delhomme!

So maybe I'll come up with that one of these days. Then again, I may actually turn this into a real site some day. If I do that, I have to promise myself to come around to it more often.

The problem with wanting to do a real site isn't just the "more dedication" thing, though. I'd use it for both personal and professional interests, though I don't know if I want potential employers to hear about strippers and bachelor parties. Which begs the question, why don't I have more strippers and bachelor parties in my life?

...Curses!!!

I'm done listening about curses in baseball. The Cubs choked (which I'm having incredible-like mixed feelings about). As much of a tool as the fan involved in that Game 6 debacle looked, that's part of the game. Deal. And the Red Sox had a go-ahead rally continue with an easy grounder off of the bag at first. If that goes AGAINST the Red Sox, we never hear the end of how Babe Ruth must have reached down to push that into right field. But now there's Game 7's all around (well, until the end of this inning in the NLCS), and FOX couldn't be happier. Actually, I think ML baseball needs it more than FOX ever will.

...Badgers? We don't need no stinking Badgers!

FINALLY, Ohio State's knack of staying tough/lucking out/selling their souls for another win has ended. And I couldn't be happier. Not just for the loss, but because that combined with the now-infamous choke-job by Robert Reynolds, the Buckeye faithful are starting to show their spots. One one hand, I give them credit, the kid should be suspended at least a coupla games, if not more. Who knows how long he would have choked that QB if he wasn't pushed off the pile? Possibly the biggest bush league move I've seen since... well, earlier that day when Don Zimmer tried to bumrush Pedro. Okay, that was just dumb. Now OSU fans have started to talk about firing coaches and such. Sure its not working, but what happened to "we've got some rough spots, but winning is winning"? Adversity is a whore, isn't it?

Back to baseball. I'm still pulling for the NL side of things, and though I liked the Cubs for a time at a few different stretches in my life, I still have this sick feeling that if/when they make it to the World Series, and if/when they win it, their fans are going to be no better than Yankee fans. Big cities suck. There's apparently something inherent with living in a city of 2+ million people that makes people idiots. City pride is one thing, being a jerk-off is another. Though if the Blue Jackets ever with a Stanley Cup.... *laugh* And enough about "we deserve to win because we've been cursed so long. Bullshit. If Bill Buckner just fields that grounder in '86, gets the out and wins the game, the world is spared 17 more years about hearing how unlucky and cursed the Red Sox are. They're not cursed, they just can't finish. Consider that in the '86 ALCS, Dave Henderson hits a game winning HR. Weeks later, Donnie Moore, the pitcher that gave up the homer, swallows the wrong end of a gun. Who's cursed?

Next week, why Yankee fans can still rot in hell.

Speaking of rotting in hell, just when I thought I was back in the driver's seat for the trip to Hades by organizing my office's "Pope Death Pool", I find the link to possibly the funniest, most inherently wrong website ever. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I give you tardblog.com! Apparently its more well known than I thought, but it doesn't make it any less outstanding. (Oh, and I believe I get a double word score for using variations on the word "inherent" twice in the same post.)

So, if you're reading this (and I have no reason to believe that anyone is), and haven't noticed my sweeping design changes, you're not alone. I haven't made any. But I AM back to seriously considering going live with haveyoumettony.com. If I could only justify the cost involved, and knew that I'd keep at it more than I do now, and work to make it better and learn a thing, I'd do it. not that 20 bucks a month for hosting is gonna kill me, because that parts fine, its just getting out and doing something with it. Though it *would* make for a great place to show off pictures that geocities otherwise can't handle. We shall see. But seriously, drop a note in the comments if you stop by, even if you think I'm a dickhead, I'm really wondering if anyone is out there.

...Damn, Homey!

so many things have gone through my head in the past week, everytime, I think, "man, I should share my funnyness with the world" Then I either drift off somewhere else, or I'm at work where posting such thoughts would likely be viewed as "inappropriate", and none of us want that, right?

just a few of the things I've thought of:
-does John Stamos have a deal with his wife that lets him spend ONE night alone with the Olsen twins the night after their 18th birthday? (Bob Saget already sold his soul to the devil to get the night OF their 18th, I'm sure. And besides, John Stamos used his deal with Satan to land his wife in the first place, not to mention let his career linger long enough to be next in line behind ALF and CarrotTop to get his own long distance phone commercial series)

okay, I swear there were more. I'll think of them, then I'll show you. yes, you. the one person that stumbles on this and dares to make something of it.

i'm also thinking about tweaking the design of this site, but the aforementioned absentmindedness and the quasi-retard web skills I have anymore lead me to believe that might not happen. but stay tuned.
