I'm guessing that "grosse" in the Hicktionary is "gross" in everybody else's dictionary.Like Francisco Liriano's curveball is just gross.Yep, that's me. Filthy like backwash.hahahahaha

I hate that you're right.I also hate that any non-committal or lighthearted answer like "we'll see" means there's no way it'll happen this time.What I hate most about it though is that I grit my teeth really hard when I'm quitting. My jaw is clenched in a death grip all day when I try to quit. I look like a cross between Shaq shooting a free throw and Mike Shanahan trying to poop. And I'm homocidally psychotic if I have to sit in traffic.Although I've never tried anything along the lines of gum/patches. I probably oughta take a whack at that.I've never made it past 3 days.

Dictionary.com doesn't know what grosse is... so I'll ask.What's grosse?

Hehe.That remains to be seen.Money's getting a little tight so I'm making a rule about no-more-workweeknight-drinking through the New Year.I drink too frequently more than I drink too much (although, as is well documented, I've been known to do that too). But the whole "go somewhere, chill, buy 3 or 4 beers and tip 20-25%" is pretty dumb and not very discretionary.There will be an exemption for my 22nd birthday on Monday December 11th.I'm really serious about working out though. Several of my closest friends are going into their 2nd months of quitting smoking, too.The plan for now is establi

MARTA is the super-crappy rail system we have in Atlanta.It stands for Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.Or... as some not-very-enlightened Atlantans say...Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta.

What's up everybody!Today I'm wearing a black suit with a very light blue shirt and dark blue patterned tie. The blue brings my eyes out, I'm told.The whole jacket-and-tie thing is because The Boss [Dad] thinks I'm unmotivated and suck at working. I don't have 30 years of sales under my belt and I can't just immediately say the salesman-thing that melts everybody and anybody to bend them to my will. There's been friction over this on the home front too... they really suck at perspective sometimes [all the time].So we went with the suit today, worked out at 5:30 this morning (for the first t

I demand access to pictures of you and your boobs, clothed or otherwise, at this point.

HATE HATE HATE.I suck at poker.Satellite style, 1-6 gets paid the same. I'm average stacked. 6 limpers on my big blind. Turn gives me a gutshot.I check, UTG bets 1k, pot is 9k. 3 callers, means I'm getting odds to chase my 10.5:1 shot on a safe call closing the action.And it hits! I'm so happy I insta-push!!!...Right into the backdoor flush.out in 8th.

I'm now in a tournament for points. I love free poker.Fold the first round... play two hands.. and i'm the chip leader all of a sudden.

Well it was only 5 bucks, haha.We're playing waaaaaaay below white-chip online these days, if at all.We are now 3-tabling $10 max.

The guy I just beat heads up told me I suck at poker too, but I think he's bitter, haha.

So after the Georgia game I suddenly get really tired.Then I remembered that I got hammered last night and slept for 4 hours before the Georgia game.So I went home at 8:30 on a SATURDAY NIGHT and went to bed.And now I'm up... WTF.Hey Ivan, how's things?

Drew Weatherford really sucks, haha.Ryan Smith is really awesome, also. He picked Stafford off too.

Thanks. Knew it was something like that, and I'm entirely too lazy to go look it up myself, haha.

That would be a fun scenario. Oklahoma/Ohio State National Title!!!If Boise State runs out then I'm pretty sure they're in a BCS game. Because the best ACC team is somewhere around 15 in the BCS standings that means that if Boise State finishes top 12 then they're in.

I'm basically rooting for as much controversy as possible to overthrow the BCS and institute a playoff.So that means I guess I want ND to win convincingly and play for a national title. Even though Michigan stomped them in South Bend.

Part of it is a deliberate exaggeration, but yes, I freely admit my SEC bias.Honestly, it's just backlash to anchors like the Holtz/May/Davis and Fowler/Herbstreit/Corso combinations. They just cater to the 8 trillion bandwagon fans of ND, USC, Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, and others, so as a defense mechanism I make outlandish statements about the SEC.

Of course I remember that game, and Auburn as well... those are the exceptions. LSU destroyed Miami, Florida beat somebody in the Big 10...I have an idea!Proposition gamble... for a whole 5 dollars...Out of the bowls that the following 6 teams will play, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Auburn, and LSU, I'm going to put 5 dollars on 4 or more of those 6 teams winning.Without even knowing their opponents yet.

I didn't see the hit, just the fallout.Was it bad?

Yeah, you're probably right.Kirk "Buckeye" Herbstreit says that the SEC hasn't had a national title contender for quite a while. He thinks this questions the legitimacy of the SEC being automatically assumed as the toughest conference.To that I say... I can't wait for bowl season. I can't wait for Boise State to get a BCS birth and get blown out by 50 points like they did against Georgia last year... and I can't wait until the SEC mutilates everybody on the ground game and with defense like we do every year.Playoffs would make entirely too much sense, of course.

Hahaha... no sh!t.I'm mad because I have to root for Florida because they're the only SEC team with national title chances. I had hoped Arkansas woulda beaten LSU... then I could have rooted for the Hogs to beat Florida in the SEC championship, but it's lookin to me like the winner of USC/ND tonight will get Ohio State (if it's not Michigan).

It's pretty cool... things are really falling into place. I'm working on my real estate broker's course now and it's going... slowly but going.Just found out I'm in the top third of ERA agents in the state of Georgia on the year. Not too shabby... but got lots of improving to do still!

Hey Dave! How the hell's life treating you?Be sure to let me know if you have a layover in Atlanta any time soon... bunch of good restaurants over on Peachtree!

What's new?We have a small scrimmage with that technical institute in Atlanta today... ought to be entertaining.

What's up y'all.The dog and I are just chillin, watching 4 football games, and doing laundry.Somebody tell me an entertaining story!
