Yep. It's that day.
I don't give a shit about the Super Bowl. I've watched maybe 2 or 3 Super Bowls in my life. I'm one of those people that looks out for commercials.
I'm sick of all the hype over the game. Especially since this year turned into a big trash talk frenzy. I can't wait till this is over with... And by that, I mean over with to the point where the post-game-analyzation is over too. Watching Sportscenter last night was a nightmare. I just wanted to see some basketball highlights. Wasn't easy. There would be 10 minutes of Super Bowl shit, then 2 minutes of basketball, then 10 more minutes of Super Bowl shit, and so on. Just let the teams play and whoever plays better wins! Why over-analyze this shit? It's a damn game!!
I was originally off today, but earlier in the week I added three days to my schedule. Tonight is one of them. So I work 5-10 on Super Blow Sunday. It's probably gonna be a slow night for the most part. I don't expect it to be though, since any time that it logistically
should be a slow night, we generally get our asses kicked.
Biggest disappointments about working tonight? Missing the commericals, including a spot for
Batman Begins that could even have some new footage. Plus, I'll miss the new episode of
The Simpsons, airing right after the
big game.

Anyway, this truck thing is still driving me nuts. I sometimes find myself sitting here, staring at a picture of it, wondering what it will feel like to drive this truck that I've wanted since driving first hit my mind. The wait for the auto loan info is the worst part. It's the only thing that separates me from this truck. I'm really hoping it comes tomorrow so we can go get this truck Tuesday. If not, the usual bullshit will take place and it'll come just as my parents leave for a vacation.
Michael has posted his first audio post. It's a cool idea. I'd like to do a few, but I really don't want to overuse the feature. I think I'll sign up for it for if a situation comes where I'm not home and something happens that I want to post right away. Besides, the trip to get my truck would be nice to audioblog, as well as a post about the basketball games right afterwards would be cool too. Unfortunately, there are only 2 confirmed games left.
Speaking of that, the game on Friday was another close one... Although that isn't evident by the final score,
74-52. We came out a little rough, not taking care of the ball, not hitting shots, and the other team came out making every shot they took, most from the perimeter. We finally got some control in the second quarter after being down by 11, which was the most we've ever been down by. We made a little comeback by halftime and changed our defense in the third quarter to shut down the other team's offense. We then started getting constant fast breaks to build on the lead consistently. By the last 2 minutes of the game, the other team had given up. I put up 9 points, 8 in the second half, to go along with a lot of assists and rebounds. Back to back games later this week, Thursday and Friday.
