Snowmen 3

Classic Calvin

Snowmen 2

Snowmen

Someone e-mailed me these Calvin and Hobbes comics the other day. I thought they were extremely funny so I decided to post a few.

Maddness

I just glanced at the calendar and realized that we only have 10 days until Christmas. I knew we were getting close when I made a trip to Wal-mart the other day and had to park in the back row of the parking lot, dodge crazy old ladies driving in the snow and had a good 12 minute wait to get checked out. The sad thing is I wasn't even there to do Christmas shopping. I better get on it though before things get really crazy.

Torment

This could be kind of a weird post but I'm hoping if I get something off my chest I will also be able to get it out of my mind. For some reason lately I've been (for lack of a better word) tormented by the memory of an ex-girlfriend and I can't figure out why. We dated off and on for about 8 months clear back in 2000 and I haven't seen or spoken to her for a good 3 1/2 years. As I look back on the relationship I realize how stupid I was for not kicking her to the curb months earlier. Maybe that is why I am haunted by her from time to time, just to remind me how stupid I was and not to be that way ever again. It was a hard lesson to learn and I am sure I will never forget it. That's why it makes me so irritated for even a second of my time to be wasted thinking about her. Hopefully now I can finally feel at peace.

December

It is hard to believe that we are now in December and 2005 is nearly over. Time sure seems to go by fast. It doesn't seem like that long ago I was driving though the fog on my way to Saltaire to celebrate the arrival of 2000.

Thanksgiving was good, I was lucky enough to have Wednesday through Monday off. It was a nice break from work. Overall I like my job but I was getting a bit burned out and the time off was just what I needed.

Well, I guess that is it for now.

Cougar Pride

I must say I was a little suprised that I didn't get any sort of response in defense of the BYU football team. I'm sure once the shock of that OT loss to Utah wears off I'll start to hear from them.

Turkey Bowl

Can I tell you how much I love Thanksgiving. You get to eat a bunch of food, watch some football and of course there is the annual Turkey Bowl. This past Saturday the elder's quorum hosted a Turkey Bowl. I originally hadn't planned on going but when I woke up Saturday I was in the mood to hit some people. It was a fun game. After about 15 minutes of playing touch football it was suggested that we start playing tackle. At first I wasn't sure about playing tackle, I had a really bad experience last December playing tackle football. I still don't remember the game but apparently I was playing with some friends and took a vicious blow to the head which resulted in a concussion and a case of amnesia. It is so weird to know that you've done something but have absolutely no recollection of it. Anyway we played some tackle football and I was able to come out of it with no head injuries, a couple of good tackles and a sack or two. The game really made me miss the good old days of playing high school football.

Stupid Refs

Two weeks in a row the Skins have been screwed out of a win by the Refs. Last week against the Bucs, Alstott was clearly down before the ball crossed the plain of the goal line for the game winning two point conversion. Then this past week against the Raiders, Jordan fumbles the ball as he tries to stretch it across the goal line. The Skins recover which would have prevented the Raiders from making the game winning kick but the refs give the ball back to Oakland saying that the runner was down when the ball came out. What a bunch of crap. I'm begining to wonder if those refs aren't making a little money on the side to influence the outcome of the games. I can't really say to much though, the Redskins have got to play better and then the game wouldn't keep coming down the the wire all the time.

Holy War

Utah - 41
BYU - 34

I rest my case.
