EDIT: If you’re looking for the NFL Week 1 leaderboard, check my last entry in this journal, peace out!

Well folks, what can I say about NFL Week 1, except that I should have picked Indy… why why did I pick the Ravens, aaaugh.

OK, enough crying.

Week is going good… I got my car paid off!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!

In other news, a new newscast debuted here in the Tri-Cities market last night, the FOX 39 News at 10… First on Fox, of course, is their slogan.  It’s just basically regurgitated material from WCYB, including a few of the personnel as well. Only new face was the anchor.  Interesting camera work on the show, however, lots of trucks with the camera, smoothly done at that, gotta give them an E for effort.  But, it’ll get better over time with the reporting.  If you’re going to be different, go all the way, don’t just stop at camera work!

Have been dubbing some old vinyl into mp3 (I know, it’s analog to digital), Greg’s turntable plays 8% too fast, so I’m having to use Cool Edit to slow the suckers down to proper speed. Have been dubbing an original LP of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, and the stuff sounds great for the most part, you have that usual used vinyl noise in there… I probably won’t find a pristine copy anywhere, probably thousands of used ones.  Did get a copy of the soundtrack for “The Neverending Story”, but there are skips on the first selections on each side, grrrrrr….. that just plain sucks.  Even moreso is that the sleeve appears to have a promotional stamp on it too.  Interesting, indeed.

This is one of my longest entries in a while, damn. 🙂

To bed I go, toodles.

 Since LiveJournal dosen’t like to keep my table clean on the “Edit Last Entry” feature (I’m using Semagic)… I’m going to move the board to this post.

And Week 1 is complete!

 As previously noted, here’s the board on all the picks I have seen on my friends list… A lot of us are suffering on upset-city, the NFL is wackier than ever!

EDIT: See previous post for standings board

This post will be edited with the results of tonight’s and tomorrow’s games when those go final…

You know, I just had a thought, I’ve been seeing a lot of people with NFL picks on their blogs, and I would like to query you guys to see if you would mind if I, just for unofficial reasons, kept track of your guys picks to see how all you play against how I do. Just the won-lost record is all I’m after. If you think it’s OK guys, comment and let me know.

Alright, there’s this interests meme, and in case nobody knows how it goes, here’s how it works…

And now, stolen from too many people to name on this blog…

Interests Meme

As I’ve watched the images of the devastation along the gulf unfold over the last few days, I’m left with one lasting impression. These so-called “thugs” misbehaving and causing nothing but problems down there are a discredit and shame to this country. I never understood the criminal mind… check that… the deviant mind, and I don’t think I ever will. All I know is this, we live in a sad society fueled by rap music and the mentality that you have to be “badass” in order to be somebody in this world. And hearing a few minutes ago that engineers trying to repair the flood levy were shot at, only to have fire returned and five of them end up dead is just plain insane. What a world we live in.

Well, we didn’t get much rain, so I guess we’ve been blessed. However, I am just shocked at all the devastation that has occured in the gulf area. Life will never be the same again.

If there is one thing that has annoyed me with this whole thing, it’s Nancy Grace on CNN. She pisses me the fuck off. I think you all will know why and knowing what I cannot fucking stand.

BTW, I can see baugh217 jumping up and down over the Mets winning with autorit-i!!!

Sexual Test… Again

Approx 10:00 PM the rain has begun here from the after effects of Katrina. I don’t think Northeast Tennessee will see too much in the way of rain, but what’s left of her is coming towards Tennessee now. I pray everyone can get back in LA, MS and AL soon.
