still awake, but vegetative

buzzing a lot cuz the snacks and goodies are still around and this is the final weekend before the healthy fasting weight dropping serious exercising and all that starts again (or so the rumor goes) and the football continues in the background on the tv as ohio state just won the rose bowl (and if they could only bear a southeast conference team, rasputin could die happy... i wonder if he and his brother went to the game since he is living with his brother in arizona these days... i wonder if he is working yet... anyway, i like to see ohio state win cuz he and precious are such big fans)... and now, the florida game...

i expect florida to blow out cinncinati mostly because cincy doesn't have their coach cuz their coach took a job with notre dame and the rules say he has to completely abandon his committment to the players he recruited and coached all year just before the biggest game of the season and quite likely the biggest game of most of their lives... that simply sucks and is the worst example of sportsmanship and leadership the ncaa provides, not to mention a potentially humiliating betrayal for the young kids in college...

the other reason i expect a blow out is cuz cincy does not play anyone close to florida's caliber all year and while i am very turned off by the arrogance and stupid macho immaturity prevailing amongst florida fans (and many media mouths), they are very well recruited, training, coached and prepared for their games in every way except sportsmanship and maturity. so they can win big and win a lot, if not well (so representative of the worst of us arrogance in the world, but that's a whole other grating of the flesh, aye?)...

football is, in many ways, like war... but as ridiculous as it is, there are even rules of conduct in war... never mind, ridiculous it is :}

i''ll probably nod off during this game since it's the last of the day and i've not slept since last year and it'll probably not interest me for a myriad of reasons... the highlights will be on tomorrow... i hope you are enjoying whatever you are doing this first day of the new year :)
