Dis)Appointment With Destiny

| Up ChucksSo to make a long story short, we got back from Tennessee and I worked all week. I don't have any money to speak of so I haven't been going out.
I ordered a fuel-pump at O'Reilly that turned out not to work, but the brighter side is I got the old one out of the tank and know how to put a new one in. Jenni found one (several at one place) on e-bay and I tried to order it, but the problem with my pay-pal from two years ago was not resolved (but will be in a week or so--another story and not all that captivating, [you mean this one is?]) which is why I have not been getting all those intended "donations" from my web site button. Be patient friends it should work soon. ...Now back to the regularly scheduled drudgery and diatribe, already always in progress... So Jenni ordered the one (of several) and it is shipping out of California today priority three days (for everyone else we'll see how long for me).
Football you say, did I even watch the game? Are you nuts? We played very well, our defense put more pressure on Brady than a super-model line up at the maternity ward, but in the end we also made key mistakes in key moments. That 4th quarter they stepped it up and we got ]k by the dazzle. Sometimes it is better to take the sack than try to duff off the ball without control, I'm just saying. But Pats a team of destiny? No and Maybe yes, considering there is no pre-ordained anything (watch HEROES tonight if you don't believe me) they are making things happen, and that is just good football. Are the ugly prima-donna's, that exhibit the worst sportsmanship of any collection of 45 individuals ever? Are they poor sports even in victory? Whiners? Yes, and they are winners too. But so are the Colts. This was one game. Not the end of an era or a season or any hopes... just one contest taken to the wire by the two best teams in this years version of the NFL. So we regroup. We kick some tail and we talk about what almost was. They have to be very thankful to continue, their real test was the closest game they have played all year, our defense the toughest on the field (not on paper like Washington's) and our mistakes more than their play (which was far from a so-called team of destiny) gave them the victory. Sour Grapes? Not really. I wanted a Colts win I always do and will, and there will be lots more this year. I'm thinking re-match.
