All posts for the day October 7th, 2008

I feel as if I have lost the urge to blog. I dunno, maybe I just don’t have anything important to say these days. Although, let’s be honest, when did I ever. Check the archives, there really isn’t anything groundbreaking there. I really should get back to posting more. I’m not sure what to say.

I pretty much hate watching the Eagles anymore. Watching yet another year of crap and horrible offense piled on top of shockingly mediocre defense is really getting to me. Watching big Andy Reid talk about how “we have to improve” and how he has to call better plays year after year is driving me nuts. The Eagles offense never changes, it never evolves, it just continues to suck when it is needed most. They are terrible in the clutch.

The Bills went 4-0 before exploding to the Cardinals. 4 and freaking 0. The Buffalo Freaking Bills. They are basically at the top of the AFC and still the Eagles fart along at the end of the pack. Oh well.

The Flyers are just getting their season underway and really, I can’t honestly say I am hopeful. The head office has made some changes, but nothing super dramatically different happened from last year. No big signings, no major changes. I can’t see the team getting that extra push it needs with signing cheap has-beens or even cheaper never-were players.

Penn State is 6-0 and ranked #6 in the country. So far, they haven’t (in my opinion) played any teams that have really tested them. That’s coming up though, I promise you.

The Soul won the Arena Bowl. Holy freaking crap. Although that still doesn’t make Philly a championship city. I think I am one of the few people I know that even cares about the Arena League.

The Phils have made it to the post-season this year. They look to be playing pretty strong, but I’m sure it is only a matter of time before they too rip my heart out and stomp on it. Give it time, it’s there.

Lastly, work kinda sucks. The whole “lets buy Macs” thing is really starting to burn me. They just don’t work the way we need them to. They aren’t lasting and/or taking the abuse that high school kids and teachers (more teachers it seems) dish out. But that’s what happens when truly uninformed people make truly uninformed decisions. I can hardly wait until their warranties expire, because that alone may drive our budget into the hole. So far out of about 450 MacBooks, we have had to replace 6 hard drives, 3 motherboards, 3 wireless cards, and over 120 batteries. I only say over 120 because at this point we have totally lost count. Add all that up and I would have to say that I am not impressed. Don’t even get me started on the supposed super friendly and even more super helpful Apple tech support. In a nutshell, it doesn’t exist.

Done!
