And a good time was had by all...

Well...bout time I post on the trip to Minneapolis.

Had a great time with my friends Jill and Tanya. (that pic was late in the night as you can see. Touch humid.)

Whole day was great with us running around Viking country with our Charger gear on. We were the people to look at, that's for sure. We were proud! Sometimes LOUD! But didn't talk smack to any Viking fans.

But of course after the game the Viking fans didn't feel the same way. There were many assholes who just couldn't get over the fact that they beat our 3rd string. (Our first was in for one series...And L.T. and Gates didn't play at all) Even worse...They only beat us by 3. Their first string was in there for quite a while and they could only beat us by 3? Yeah...That's a win to be proud of.

But back to the fun stuff.

Little bar hopping, got to meet some pretty decent people. Mostly the Charger fans that would either come up to us or us up to them. We acknowledged each other every time we would see one. Was really great.

Made a quick trip to the Mall Of America. Had never been there before. But boy...When you had a "good time" the night before, that place is a little too "busy" to stomach. But we all wanted to goto Hooters and that's the only place where we knew one was. I ate...But boy was it hard. (food was good tho) I need to get back to that Mall and actually look around for a while. Since I am one of the only people in the area who had not actually been there before.

The moral of the story is..."Go out, Have fun with friends. But if there are Viking fans around...Be ready to pop them in the mouth if they get out of line".

Football season? Almost!

Tonight I think I will finally feel like the football season has started.

In about an hour I will be hopping in a car with a couple of friends for a 4 hour drive to Minneapolis to see my SAN DIEGO CHARGERS play those lowly Vikings. This will be fun! (Mostly the watching of Viking fans hearts breaking right and left will be fun)

The thing is, ever since the season started...YOU CAN'T REALLY WATCH THE GAMES YOU WANT!!!

The NFL network is covering most of the games...And how can you watch 8 games on one network? You can't! So I can't really watch the players I want to see to figure out what guys I want on my fantasy teams. Let alone trying to figure out which teams to pick in the first week of the season for my pickem leagues.

But back to the good news...Heading out soon and this will be a fun night. No matter what happens...Its going to be a party!

GO BOLTZ! (Oh...And you Padres...Get your butts above .500 please. Love that your in first place but...)

Cindy Sheehan=Looney Toons

Ok, I know she is hurting but I seriously think that losing her son has made Cincy Sheehan crazy.

The woman is just not thinking straight! Saying she won't pay her taxes, saying the war in Iraq is illegal, saying that President Bush is a murderer and the worst part...Saying her son did not die honorably!

Personally I think that her son would be ashamed of his mother right now.

Casey Sheehan made a choice to join the military. He made a choice to protect this country. To say that a man who made these choices to protect me, my loved ones and the country I love is not a hero should be slapped. EVERY person who is out there, who was out there, and made the trip but did not make it back have my respect, admiration and support.

It doesn't help that the liberal press, Michael Moore and the hippie crowd has championed this poor woman in her time of grief. Obviously this is making her slip away even more from reality.

I really wish she would move on and get some help from the families that have lost loved ones in the war. Most are proud of their sons, agree with what they did, and are TOTALLY willing to help Mrs. Sheehan with her grief.

Any woman that had already met with the President and said she was happy with her meeting with him last year and changes her story this year 360 degrees is a sure sign of a problem. Her own husband who was at the same meeting with the President doesn't agree with her new radical views and has not changed his story has now filed for divorce. I am sure he has tried to help her...But it looks like he has given up.

Simply put...How can taking down a dictator that has murdered hundreds of thousands to millions of his own people be not honorable? Ask a soldier who has come back...He will tell you.

(I could go on but...I am trying to be respectful of a mother who has lost a son and a hero)

Fight on boys! We will have the beer cold and waiting for ya when you come home!

What does this say about me?

Isn't it good to know that a guy with HIV gets more tail than you?

Also, I am betting that every woman that was a "victim" of this is white. Just a guess...

We must fix this...

There has to be a better way to go to work without me getting out of my bed.

Can't I just think about working and get paid for it?
