Beer + Football + Ignorance = Great Sportsmanship..NOT!

Don't get me wrong. I love a good cuss word at a ref from time to time but is it really necessary to call the team pussies when no one else is yelling anything? Maybe I have become a prude with age. Sure, I could out vulgar anyone if I really tried but I think my circle of friends know when and where to be "ourselves". The reason for this rant is last night Jerry and I went to the preseason game for the Jaguars. I was expecting a hot and humid night of preseason 2nd stringers but it was a comfortable 86°F with a wonderful breeze.

The team looked great. Ok sure they need work on some of their catching, pattern running and defense but HELLO it's preseason. Hopefully it will all get worked out in the new few weeks once the roster is a little more concrete.

The fans however were lacking in social graces. Maybe I am an elitest. Maybe I think I'm better than them. Maybe I wondered how much of their stereo equipment did they have to sell to get tickets. Although the rude people behind us said several times to each other that they would just sit there until they were told to move. So obviously they were "Their" seats. The guy...who kept saying this, kept telling his buddy "You're number one in my book" while flipping him "the bird". Class...

    Well, then I'm an elitist right there with ya. With each year that passes, I have less and less patience for such stupidity.

    I'm definitely elitist because most people I meet during the day I wonder how they managed to get out of bed, dress themselves, and find their way to me.

    The guys behind us at the stadium on Saturday night were disadvantaged by genetics to begin with and adding alcohol and adrenaline to it only made it worse.

BSG Comes to an end?!

Image
I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
