Ready in More Ways than You Know

The NFL season starts in a half hour and I found a new icon for the occasion!  Even though my Colts aren't playing, it still makes me happy.

Tonight's game is the  Pittsburgh Steelers versus the Tennessee Titans.  Iiiiii'mmmm going with the Steelers on this one.  It's tradition to cheer for the Steelers (and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Arizona made it to the Super Bowl last year.  Just as much as I'm still trying to understand the Seachickens in 2006.  I'm beginning to think that the Steelers' calling in life is to tell these cupcakes to sit down).

Besides, I've never been a huge fan of the Titans.  They played the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV (in 2000 for those who are stumped by Roman numerals) and the Rams beat them, so that ended that.  You have to know how I pick who to cheer for, I guess.  Once I'm a fan, I'm a fan for life (on the flip side, if I ever dislike you, forget it.  Doesn't matter how good you are.  I take loyalty to sports teams very seriously - potential mates, take notes).

Another reason I am eagerly anticipating this season?  I missed last season.  Ironically, for the last year and a half, I actually lived in a city that is home to an NFL team and I've never been more out of the loop on football (granted, I had a legitimate excuse - besides, the Jaguars aren't that great anyway.  I'd probably cheer for them if my only other option was New England or Dallas - whom I NEVER cheer for on principle).

Well, that's it for me.  Enjoy the game, everyone.  Go Steelers.

ETA: The Steelers won in a very defense-heavy game.  Came down to the wire, which, those games are always fun.  Now, I've been happy with NBC's coverage of the NFL, but I don't know if I can stand a whole year of Cris "Chicken-neck" Collinsworth commentating.  The Steelers are marching to the endzone and all he can carp about is how stupid it was that the Steelers went to no-huddle and let the Titans' defense put in fresh bodies.  Just his voice grates on me...

Well, it could be worse.  Keith Olbermann could be doing commentary (oy - I just threw up in my mouth).

Madden - we'll miss ya.  And I'm not just saying that.

A Note to All Member- and Full-Time Missionaries

This godless freaktard is NOT the type that you are wanting to convert.  Read D&C 29:7 if you don't believe me.

Take heart, friends.  We know something he doesn't.  In the next life, we get to sit these ilk down with Peter, Paul, Joseph and Brigham (maybe Porter will come too), pat them on the hand and say "Look, honey... this is how it REALLY is."  Granted, that's not a guarantee they'll see the light, but it helps me stomach this sort of ill-informed retardation.

The older I get, the less I like the rest of the world.  I was a fan of deviantArt (and a fan of the guy that posted this bile), but it's gotten past the point of ridiculous.  My new philosophy: why troll the Internet watching other people live their dreams when you have dreams of your own to live?  I'm deleting my dA account.  Not that I ever really used it.  It wastes too much of my time anyway.

As my former high school English teacher says: "Jesus just has to come.  I can't deal with these people."
