Paranoia can Destroy ya.....

This is my first blog for 2012, and I admit it's been hard to get back to the point of blogging. I decided at best, I can blog every now and then maybe twitter like length entries. The entire full length (whatever that means" blog is just not for me (well at least right now). So what will I write about? Something profound? Nope, just Football. Yes, here it is again, I find myself freaking out because the Patriots are in the playoffs. If they weren't in the playoffs I'd be sad, angry, frustrated. Now that they're in the playoffs I'm sad (oh my god what if they lose), frustrated (oh my god what if they lose to Baltimore.Ray Lewis the murderer can't get back to the Super Bowl), and angry (GDit, everyone is picking Baltimore to win!). I can't get happy and just enjoy the ride because I care too much. Why do I care? I don't know these guys personally, I've never even been to a live football game (though I have toured Gillette a number of times taking Football 101 for three years in a row). Well I guess I just have to say it's a feeling that these are my boys. I know I share them with all of New England and other fans throughout the country and abroad, but for whatever reason, this particular team, just like the Sox of '03 (I know they lost AHHHHHH) feel like mine. From "turf toe Law firm" Benjarvis Green Ellis to Rob "why the hell is he wearing Vrabel's #, and what the hell does he look like?" Ninkovich these players mean something to me. Mickey Mouse hands Gronk "GRONK LIKE Football", Chad "I've only five catches for the entire season" Ochocinco, Wes "crazy eyed" Welker and of course Tom "They will miss me when I'm gone cause I'm so awesome" Brady, they're my boys. I want to make chocolate chip cookies for all of them. I hope they do well, and if they don't I am going to be bitter and sad, and maybe even cry. I admit tears were shed in the '07 team lost in the Super Bowl (I still cannot watch any clip or view any photo of that damn helmet catch). Ahh... So while normal people go about their business this weekend, on Sunday, if you're not doing anything say a wee prayer for the Pats and for me to make it through the game in good spirits and on the winning side!!!

Football Follies..I mean Follicles

Okay many things to write about but what will I focus on, Hair in football. This season Tom Brady's flowing locks have been the talk of the town (well not really, but kinda) As of yesterday, I thought Tom was indeed the King of Football hair. However, during yesterday's Miami game Julian Edelman gave him a run for the money. I would have mentioned Jules before but since the dude has only been returning kicks this year mostly I hadn't seen him with his helmet off. Good Lord, boy did he grow his hair out. Well there you go, I thought, good run Jules but Tom Terrific is still #1. Then wait, what is this? During the snooze fest that was the Seahawks and Rams battle for the NFC West last night low and behold Clipboard Jesus was revealed. Yup, Charlie Whitehurst, quarterback back up for what 3.5-4 years comes on the scene. Tommy boy I love you but Hello Charlie. Good lord, what a head of hair. Right length, great deep dark color and significant scruff to match. Wow, who knew but the Seahawks not only won a playoff spot with an under .500 record, but they slipped in at the end of the season to win the Football Follicles 2010 award. Photos provided in order of mention.

Waffle King is back...ahhhhhhhhhhh

I was going to continue writing about songs and how they define moments and relationships in one's life, but at 11:23pm I can honestly say I don't have much life left in my brain for tonight, and what's left of it has been thrown for a loop because as I sit here watching the NFL channel yup....wait for it...Brett Favre is dominating the news (and he hasn't even reported to training camp nor played one f'in pre-season game.) For the love of God, Brett Favre is the Anti-Christ, shave his head closer than usual, check his butt cheek under his Wrangler jeans and you will find 666 stamped both places. This man has ruined so many football season for me, and I'm not even talking about his play, I mean the media coverage that follows this man who outside of being the anti-Christ defines "Waffler" the best. MAKE UP YOUR FREAKIN' MIND you ass....I don't CARE I JUST DON"T AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..it drives me crazy.

I could be more coherent about my reasons why I dislike him so much (Screw the loss by the Pats to Green Bay I blame that one on Parcells for throwing his team under the bus!!) but I really can't. I mean I think I'm a rational person, but when it comes to Brett Favre I lose it. This guy is heralded by some as the best QB ever...WHAT???!?!? Well if you consider the # of interceptions as defining the best. Clutch player, clutch interception thrower..ahhh and for those records he's broken, well if you played fball for as long as "Methuselah" Favre has, you'd break some too. Considering this is a team sport why oh why does Favre get a pass for hanging at this point-what-three teams out to dry? And if I were a Green Bay fan I would spit at Favre if I ever saw him. Hell I'm not a Green Bay fan but I'll spit at him for y'all! Retire already..oh my god, they're showing him landing in Minnesota,and getting into a red Bronco, where the hell is OJ when you need him!!! Ahhhhh.....I can't take this, I'm going in my room to watch my dvr'd SNL with Muse.....sometime soon I promise I'll get back to my dissertation on songs etc. but for now really I just need to go find a happy place

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................

I'm giddy....really nothing else, just giddy. Oh and screw the long hair haters.
