Company
Yes, yes I’ve become melodramatic doomsday girl.
But seriously, three weeks after I get suckered into a $200 cleaning job on my car (which I picked up during a major snowstorm, so it was all for naught anyway) a metal spike in the road explodes, not one, BUT TWO tires on my car! And THEN my laptop explodes three days later.
Cereal, if you don’t think 2010 is out to get me, you’re not paying attention.
I still don’t have a computer yet, though the Operating System has been replaced. I physically still feel like that stuff that crap becomes after it’s been scraped off a shoe and tossed aside, but I power through because I am made of sterner stuff.
Or stern stuff.
Or because I have bills to pay.
Something.
I know it’s bad because I find myself wondering which is worse: the misery itself or pretending I’m not miserable so my mother can take me off her suicide watch and children on the train can stop asking their parents why the lady is crying.
I’m kidding.
No I’m not.
Anyhoo, I ran across this article which actually made me smile yesterday. And yes, it violated my “Bill Simmons is dead to me” pledge, after he not only predicted the mediocre 10-6 Patriots season, but also foretold our loss to the Ravens. Fucking asshole. (His dad’s words, not mine. But I co-sign.)
Ok, but then today THIS ARTICLE just made me actually laugh out loud! For A WHILE! Oh, the pain. THE PAIN.
I especially thought of F-train and Vinnay.
Enjoy, sports fans. Tae…um…would you like some red wine?
Aw man, the seltzer water I JUST opened is flat. ARRRGHHH.

Oh man, Kotite!! Decline the penalty and punt! hahahahahaaha Wonder what CK smashed during that game…

I really don’t need to be reminded of the Rich Kotite era.
But thanks.
You’re the best.

No prob! It’s the LEAST I could do after you so thoughtfully gave me the update on how MSU is doing since I became a fan.

Aw, it’s ok. Sometimes I have to cry it out too.
February 4th, 2010 at 11:55 pm
Yeah, what Brady Zac said.

The Leafs really deserve better than 7th spot. We’re at least #4 for futility and heartbreak!

Here’s an article for you. It’s not sports related, but it should make you feel much better about your life. Or like you need to take a shower. It’s kind of an inane comment.

Astin – Futility maybe, but it’s more about heart-wrenching losses. The leafs haven’t been good enough for a long time for any heart-wrenching losses to occur. Kinda hard for that to happen when your at the bottom all season long.

Tae,
Um. Gross. I think you’ve ruined Vegas for me. And clicking links.

Dang dirty cheating Dallas Stars!

But you must admit, it’s inane. Where’s Angela?

VinNay, yah, it’s been 16 years since we had anything gut-wrenching. Scared me to realize it’s been that long since we really had hope.
But now we’ve got… Phaneuf! and Giguere! And… that other guy. Yah, we’ll get a shot to be crushed in a few years I’m sure.

Astin – Giguere is over-rated. Phaneuf is good, but having an off year and not worth a 6.5 Mil cap hit. Sorry, you traded away your best forwards to become a cap-ridden mess like tampa bay.
