Grace and I just got back from our week-long beach extravaganza. We were down in the Outer Banks in North Carolina for five days and then went up to Ocean City for another two. It was relaxation in it's finest form: beach in the morning, beach in the afternoon, eat some grill cooked food for dinner, and then relax in the hot tub. For a guy who likes to do nothing, I couldn't have asked for more. Only one day of rain, so we lucked out there, and all-in-all it was one of the best vacations I've ever been on. I'll put some pictures up sometime soon on that little slideshow thingy that flashes photos. I know you just can't wait!
Coming back from vacation means it's time...FOR MADDENOLIDAY! For a third consecutive year Grace has bought me Madden. I have yet to play it, but I'm excited. I live for sports games, and this is the best of the best. I'm hoping for some more cool mini-games, smoother online play, and a game play setting that is in between 'All-Pro' and 'All-Madden' (I'm too good for Pro, not good enough on Madden). There is also a downloadable new cover for the game with Brett Favre in a Jets' jersey that you can print out, but not one for the Wii yet. Perhaps they are redesigning it so that Adrian Peterson is on the front, as he was the most deserving cover boy. Then Kevin would draft him and he'd be cursed and we'd all have a good laugh.
Oh yeah, coming back from vacation means two more things: the start of school and the start of school. Yup, the kids come back in a week, but I have to report tomorrow to prepare. And when the kids start school in a week, so will I. My three grad classes begin, and my life as a couch sitter-onner and TV watcher will be done. Christmas break cannot come soon enough. I have no idea how I'm going to manage myself with all my school shit along with Grace and football. Some things will have to be neglected...and I have a feeling it will be this blog (haha, you thought it was going to be you, right Grace? Only on Sundays baby, only on Sundays). Expect the posts to be few and far between. Sigh.
Hopefully I'll get a post in on fantasy football before I get too busy. I do have some thoughts, believe it or not. We'll see. The draft is coming up!!! Woooooo!
Random thoughts:
-Fuck you Tigers.
-Team USA looks good in basketball.
-Mr. Bolt from Jamaica sets a world record in the 100...while celebrating during the last 15 meters!?!? Holy shit.
-Congrats Michael Phelps. Not only was winning 8 cool, but the way you won them was even better. Dramatic relays, dominating blowouts, and split-second finishes...a little bit of everything.
-I could never live in a rural area. By rural I mean rebel-flag toting rural. The kind of rural if you walked into a bar, NASCAR would be on every TV kind of rural.
-Sand crabs are scary.
-Jellyfish are equally scary.
-Grace dislikes tunnels, I dislike bridges. So driving over the Chesapeake Bay bridge with it's 3 bridge segments and two tunnels was quite an experience.
-Salt water tastes like salt. Huh.
-I'm going on a diet. I ate way too much this past week.
-The more I think about it, the Lions have a fantastic chance at ending up with the number 1 pick next year. There is nothing (besides two injury prone receivers) to really like about this team.
-I will still root for the Lions, even as the ship snaps in half and sinks to the bottom of the NFL-ocean, filled with Lions' fans with paper bag heads.
-We could have had Adrian Peterson. Ugh.
-I'm hungry, so I'm going to go eat.

Let me know if Madden 09 is worth the buy, or if I should just stick with 08.
Bolt was fucking amazing. I was speechless watching that race.
Jellyfish are way scarier than sand crabs. Nobody ever died from a sand crab pinch.
I think Grace would agree with you. She ran out of the ocean every time she saw a tiny jelly. I don't think she was scared of the sand crabs. I guess that was just me, haha.
I'll let you know about Madden. So far, stick with 08'. Nothing is impressing me too much yet.
let's see...
1. i ran out of the ocean because i would really like to do my part in preventing a jelly fish sting.
2. you never even saw a sand crab.. you saw sideways crabs. And the aren't scary, especially when they run the opposite direction when you walk towards them.
3. i would end this relationship of you wanted to live in a rural area.
4. i'm the best gf ever.
and..
5. i loved our vacation!
Let me reiterate my jealousy that you visited the Outer Banks.
Don't get too big of a man crush on Adrian Peterson. Or are you just tricking us into thinking that is who you're taking at #2?
I LOVE driving through tunnels but hate being stuck in one. I am indifferent to bridges, but Stacey hates them.
Grace, you're right that jelly fish are scary. I remember there were always so many in that area.
