Wow, not to bad for a sports fan like myself to go from the 25th best sports city in America to the third best. I know Dallas is a good sports town, though the third best is a little high in my opinion based on what I’ve seen out of people here.
But for Morgantown to be in the top 25 because of WVU is awesome. The only other college town that comes above Morgantown was Lawrence, Kansas, which is home to Kansas University.
Pretty cool, pretty cool.
I love the Chicago Cubs but I know when something is true when I see it. This is sad but definitely true…and a bit funny too. I found this on ESPN’s Page 2. It’s a Facebook page for The Billy Goat. You Cubs fans know what I am talking about here.
Sometimes you just can’t make things up. I saw this link on CNN earlier and thought there was no way it was a real story but indeed it is. A new space race. Build an elevator into space.
Wow.
I watched the first 30 minutes or so of last night’s VP debate in St. Louis. For the most part it was all laughable and I have a feeling we will see a cheesy version on Saturday night on NBC’s SNL.
When the two candidates came out on the stage and you hear Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin say to Joe Biden “can I call you Joe?” you knew it was going to be an interesting debate.
Both danced around issues, and in the end I would say Biden probably came out on top looking like a better candidate for VP. Palin kept saying she wanted to “talk to the American people” but I felt she danced around more than Biden. Its pretty funny when the moderator said after the second question of the night that neither answered the question that was asked to them.
You can tell that all the GOP wanted Palin to do was back John McCain and tell his stuff. Biden spent most of the night attacking McCain.
But yeah, my vote went to Biden last night. The man is going to be money on stupid quotes though. Not George Bush money on stupid quotes but enough that will make you laugh and hate the guy at the same time.
Nine months are down, finished, over in 2008. Already three-forths the way through here this year. Man, it is true what they say, the older you get the faster time flies. Summer was here and then there (thankfully the heat went with it) and now we are moving into Fall…well most of the country is at least. Texas Fall starts in like late November and last a couple weeks.
So what’s going on here? The economy stinks as usual, which is causing my daily work to get interesting with clients and the company I work for. Money appears to be getting tight for everyone. It’s a shame really, because I never really know what to think about money and the economy. Some parts do well, while others suffer.
A circle of life I suppose.
I’m honestly not too terribly worried over it all though. I realized at the start of the year that it was going to be an interesting one.
Time will tell as always though.
Okay, so I thought I would blog some from ACL and that never happened. ACL was great though, I’m exhausted but it was totally worth going. I saw more bands that I probably would never get to see in a single weekend ever again.
Bands I enjoyed:
Others that were alright:
I will try to put up any photos that I got from the weekend when I can.
I am coming to you all tonight from the road! Gotta love being able to blog anywhere these days, even without a computer! Yup, I’m on my phone blogging!
Anyways, Becca and I are on our way to Austin for ACL. I may try to blog more on my phone while I am there.
Enjoy! More on the way eventually!
I cannot even begin to say how excited I have been for this week. Monday saw the return of all of CBS’s great comedies and tonight NBC gets to take it’s turn on the series premiers. My Name Is Earl and The Office start back up tonight!
I am a bit more excited for The Office to begin it’s fifth season. After last year’s writer’s strike, which left most TV shows in limbo for a while, I wondered how well this show would respond. They came back in April after the strike and did not disappoint. I see that happening again tonight with their series premier.
Next week we get some more season debuts as ABC kicks off Wednesday with Private Practice and Pushing Daisies.
So nice to have solid TV back on again, the summer was rather dull because of it. If I can I will talk a bit more later on about The Office and why I love it so much.
Yeah, during the week I’m a Mac. And for the time being on the weekends (and in the mornings before work), I’m a PC.
I will probably get a Mac down the road once they release their new line up laptops.
Microsoft decided to release this ad to debunk the I’m A PC stereotype, if you want to call it a stereotype.
I still like the Mac commercials better though…
