Another Week Almost Done . . .

SONG OF THE MOMENT: "(At Your Best) You Are Love" - by The Isley Brothers or Aaliyah, your choice :-)

So I know I haven't posted anything since last week. To update as quick as a I can (although I feel this might be a pretty long entry) I haven't cried since last Tuesday. Its funny to think that a night of music and around deprecating friends can really help (but that's why I depend on music so much, but we'll get into that later . . ) It also helps that the sun was out bright and shining, so no gloom overhead means better spirits for me! Its also funny for me to think, in an earlier post, I compared what I was feeling to drowning without hopes of being rescued. When I would go do my workouts, the place that I felt most comfortable, the most clear-headed, and the most centered, was in the pool. I could probably do lap upon lap and it releases everything that I've jumbled in my head and uses it to my advantage in the water. So maybe drowning really wasn't the best analogy . . .

And I do have to agree with my roommate (and one of my favorite films, Love Actually) that its the holidays, I'm suppose to be happy and celebrate the good times. Fer crissakes, sunshines and rainbows should be shooting out of my ass!!!! So I have been in a definite better mood lately. Speaking of the holidays, I've nothing done and now its approaching in less than 5 days! God, am I screwed . . .

I really feel I have so much to hit upon but in my usually ADHD manner, I'll probably forget something and have to post again. Anyway, First on the list, The hire of Rich Rodriguez at Michigan. Here is my opinion on the matter, as terse as I can make it. I can understand the need to move up in the ranks of your occupation. It's human nature. But I really think Rich is a greedy, no good, traitorous, coward, to put it nicely. He pull the same blackmail crap last year and said he would be at WVU a long, long time. I guess a long, long time to him is 8 months . . . If he uses the excuse that it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up, because of the legendary status of the program (which is rightful so. I mean the Michigan - OSU rivalry is considered my MOST, the biggest rivalry in North American Sports) Why leave a school and a state, that one, look at you as a god, and two, build your own legend instead of attaching yourself to an established legendary program. So Rich wants to join the ranks of coaches like Woody Hayes, Felding Yost, Bo Schembechler, but now he's really going to have to work that much harder to get himself distinguished without having to add the name of a school like Michigan to solidify his name in the hall of fame books. He thought the wrath he felt after WVU lost to Pitt was bad. Wait until he deals with OSU and especially Michigan fans. If he can't produce wins ESPECIALLY against his new college rival, he's going to be canned so fast, where can he go? He's definitely not welcome back to his home state. Why welcome back someone who says he loves his home, and then be so secretive to get out? Lots of people in the state feel betrayed and alot of people on the outside don't get it. West Virginia is not a big state. There are very few people that they can look at to instill pride in where they are from. Rich took that away in one fell swoop. BTW, for those of you not in the know, I am a HUGE Ohio State fan (I'm even a part of the Chicago Alumni chapter and I didn't graduate from there!!!) You think I hate Michigan. you're wrong, I DESPISE them even more! Good Luck Rich. It'll bite you in the ass in the end. And one more note on this . .. O-H-I-O!!!!

I am excited to know that two of my best friends are back in town for the holidays (even though I leave saturday!) And the "Double Dates +1" are back for another lovely evening of dinner and discussion. Everything from Michelle's Feminist debates to my Anti-Gay Marriage stance (yeah, yeah, I know. Its very difficult to understand but if we had the time you'd at least get my point of view, even though Michelle doesn't! LOL!) Above is a picture when the Larcheys and I visiting Jack and Michelle in Kansas. And I'm excited because its Tango Sur - damn, I love me some good steak!

I promise I'll post my ideology of music soon. It could be pretty damn lengthy so I may have to do it in parts. For now, find the song of the moment and take a listen. I always consider it one of the most underrated love song. Why? All relationships aren't perfect There are problems, arguments, etc. But what is a best way to compliment the one you love? By telling them they are the phyiscal epitome of what your heart feels deep down in side. Life isn't perfect and it shouldn't be. You learn a lesson that will also help you understand that at our best, we will always be "love."

Until Next Time . . .
