When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro

Well, Thanksgiving for the Lewis clan is always unique, and this year my nephew was present for his first ever feast. West Palm will always hold a unique place in my heart, as long as I have family down there anyway, It's more sprawled out than Tallahassee, but there is even less to do there. While there I participated in the annual madness that is black friday. I purchased a few movies and a game for my new macbook. not the hugest purchases ever, but sufficient enough. 

It seems that once baseball season ended Professional sports got a lot less interesting for me. The NFL is in a down year. Boring. The NBA will never achieve the status it once had in the 80's and mid 90's. Players are no longer athletes but brands. The NHL is all but forgotten to the majority of americans, hockey itself is held just above soccer in regards to most people. College Football seems to be the last bastion of entertainment this winter. The cluster fuck that is the BCS has placed Oklahoma above Texas, Texas also beat Oklahoma earlier this year. go figure. Our president-elect has also called for a college football playoff, will it happen? sure, keep some of the games as bowls but have them count as playoff games, and keep the BCS title game as is. Problem solved. So what if USC plays in both the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl? Those historical events are only kept around to generate sponsorship revenue for the NCAA anyway.

Gonzo: the life and work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is a great documentary, film, and biography of one of the greatest men who ever lived. I cannot put into words how much of a complete piece of work it is. I've seen buy the Ticket Take the Ride, and as good as that one is, this one is just that much better.

My second tattoo is looking like a good piece for the sleeve that I'm building, I figure even if I just do one tattoo a year for each year I'm in college it'll look good by graduation.

ma-halo.
