I gotta rant. I know I just mentioned that this blog sucks, but I’m angst-filled at the moment.
1) June Jones- head coach at Hawaii, disappointing an entire state, including the Gov, has decided to try to tempt fate twice and resurrect the SMU program. Now while it’s true that Hawaii did prove that the WAC is in fact a crappy league, June did well there and got the entire state excited about Warriors football. Of course his recruiting was interesting. Felons and all. June, the eyes are alot closer on the mainland. My prediction. SMU gets another Death Sentence in the next few years. The fact that A) June prayed for it and G-d told him “take the money” and B) He’s being paid by 10 “boosters” who have committed 100 grand each for 10 years… Well maybe they haven’t learned anything in Dallas. This is football AND that is Texas.
2) Ohio State in the National Championship? Last years’ double digit ass whooping from FLA was NO fluke, Big 10 doen’t belong on the same field with real conferences, (Pac 10, SEC, Big 12)
3) TV’s We need a new one. Mrs’s wants it to fit in the existing furniture. Pardon me for not getting exctied about our new 25″ TV. Can I say something sucks as I’m getting it of the box? More to come on this “talk”.
4) Mrs S is going back to Arizona tomorrow. Packing up the house which was sold over Christmas. She gets to play “keep it, sell it or give it to charity”. No one wants to play that with there mother. BTW- Mom is going to be surprised that Salvation does NOT take everything.. somethings they don’t want.
5) Speaking of Sals Place. Stillwater Minnesota Salvation Army Store. As of yesterday you could get a “Butterscotch the Pony” still in the box. Some rich yuppie kid get two of those things by mistake? Or was it a WalMart markdown gone to salvage HMMMM gonna look good in the ‘hood.
That’s all I got to say. Should hae saved it for tomorrow.

A good rant now and then will help you not get planted before your time.
Living in Ohio, it’s always an interesting trip when a team goes to some sort of playoff…counting chickens before they’re hatched is a way of life here. (I’m from Pittsburgh, so I notice.)
I got a good laugh about the Franklin Planner. I organize myself using index cards. Good to carry in my pocket, don’t you know.
One day I was having a beer with a kid from the college where I graduated whose a Phi Theta Kappa. He couldn’t understand why I don’t use a PDA. I pulled out a blank index card…and said this is all I need to do to call up a new screen.
Just published my first post of ‘08. Wanted to make it interesting so I went with A Blog Village Edition of Surfer’s Paradise.
Check it out, you’re included.
