Becoming a Seahawks Fan

It's that time of the year, Super Bowl time! I must admit that I have no idea about this Super Bowl, I didn't follow either team all year. Being a fantasy football fanatic, I could have took Shawn Alexander with my 3rd overall pick, but instead I took Peyton Manning. Following Manning and the Colts, as many people did, I was sorely disappointed with their lose to some team named the Steelers. If I had taken the Seahawks RB, Shawn Alexander, I would have followed them more, watching my running back score TD after TD. The problem I see now is this, a 6th seed being favored in the Super Bowl over the #1 seed NFC Seahawks?! How can this be, because the Steelers beat up on everyone to get to the Super Bowl? Carson Palmer doesn't go out of the game and the Steelers still beat the Bengals? The Colts decide to actually block someone and the Steelers still beat the Colts? This brings us to the Broncos, who I cant stand. I grew up a Chiefs fan and find the Steelers win over the Bronc

Resting with the baby requires Resting

My boy is very cute and loves to giggle. He tends to sleep about a hour at a time and then wake to play for two. Yesterday was a good day, slept for about 3.5 hours. Way longer than normal and good for me. I was trying to get as much done as possible, but when you don't know when he is going to wake up, it's hard to plan what to do and what not to start. My wife comes home about 4 o'clock and I was sleeping on the couch with the boy. I was so tired and preceded to sleep for another 3 hours. What had I really done all day, I'll tell you what. Resting with my son. Which goes to show you, taking care of a baby tires you out more than you could ever imagine. Resting with my son requires resting yourself afterwards.

Super Bowl Set and Koby turns 81

Steelers keep on bringing on the good luck, the power to win and the dream of a Super Bowl Ring! Panthers left their playing abilities back... well... I'm not sure where they left their skills. They simply forgot to show up. So that leaves us with the Seahawks and Steelers in the Super Bowl. You find anyone to tell you they picked these two teams to be in the Super Bowl, listen well to anything else they may tell you about sports. Sticking to sports, Koby scores 81 points. 81! Second only to W. Chamberlin's 100 points back in 1962. What can you say about sports, it's never what you think it will be and almost always more than you can imagine. Gotta love Sports. Till next time, Don't Eat the Yellow Snow.

Decision Time

I have thought long and hard about who to take this week in the NFL Championship games and I am now ready to make my predictions. SEAHAWKS 3 1/2 over the Panthers. I like the Panthers. BRONCOS 3 over the Steelers. I like the Steelers. I'm going with the underdogs this time for the first 5th and 6th seed teams to meet in the Super Bowl since 1997. Only time will tell how correct I am, but let it be known, the Seahawks could win by 1 and the Broncos win by 2 and I'm still right. =)

The Weekend and this Weekend

I want to start by saying, I had no idea it would take me this long to post again. Our weekend went well and we were able to see everyone that we wanted to see. My uncle David met my wife and my son for the first time. He lives in California and was in town and able to meet us at my grandparents for a quick visit. My mother and aunt are doing great and enjoyed the time they got to spend with my son. I cooked for them Sunday night and I still feel sorry for the amount of time it took to cook. I cooked for them, stuffed chicken. I took a chicken, stuffed it with lemons, oranges and garlic. Under the chicken were potatoes and carrots and I must say, it turned out rather well. I asked my mom though, how long it took to cook a chicken. She said one and a half hours, but my mom also thought I was talking about a small chicken, perhaps even just the breast. I knew the entire time I was talking about a roasted chicken, the one we bought was 6.77 pounds. It ended up taking about 3 hours to cook

NFL Saturday Games

I'm still in shock, complete shock. The Patriots, defending champs, laid an egg. What were they thinking? What were they doing? Five turnovers? 13 total points? Missing a FG? Shocked I tell you... Shocked.

"I curious to see"

It has been pointed out to me (figures) that my grammar is above par in my first post. As anyone can see, what I meant to say was " I'm curious to see...". I appreciate the response (and you shall be left nameless) and I hope other than my grammar, you found my blog "worth while."

Waking to Find It's Friday

I've never had a normal job, I work nights and always Friday's & Saturday's. Though today was different, you see, I'm on vacation. I have the entire month of January off and I have been staying home and connecting with my three and half month old son. My wife is a school teacher and unlike me, has to work the month of January. Monday is a holiday for most people and we are taking the holiday time to go see my parents. So I wake up today with this odd feeling, I knew something was different about today, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Then it hit me (Wham! {minus George Michael}) it's Friday! I have the entire weekend off and I'm not even working! My wife and I will share baby duties this weekend, but so will the grandparents. I mean, talk about your vacation, take your son to the grandparents, hand him off, sit back and watch the Colts destroy the Steelers. I think this could be the first time in years when I actually was excited it was Friday. I

Good Morning & Good Day

I finally found a place to post random thoughts about absolutely nothing. Thanks again in part to Google for helping me to find Blogger.com I have been a member of Blogger.com and today I found the desire to see what this site is all about. I curious to see who among the faithful, will be first to post a reply. I have my money on a brother or uncle. Time will only tell and if your not looking, not even that well.
