and they deserve it

i'm glad the tim tebow commercial controversy did not mar the superbowl (or maybe i just missed it, but i only saw a toned down version in pre-game shows hours before the game) as it was doing in the pre-superbowl news media hype because it seemed so selfish for a college player to use his fame to preach his religion and raise controversy that has nothing to do with sports or the the superbowl taking advantage of the game that is going to pay him well and of the audience of many millions around the world... so much for a team player... so typical of arrogant selfishness... no wonder much of the enlightened world laughs at us so often...

meanwhile, the game was the great entertainment it was supposed to be... the saints deserved the game because they did what they needed to do, let drew brees throuw the ball... i feel bad for reggie bush, i didn't realize they use him so sparingly, but he gets a superbowl ring too... and the saint's coach got his act together in the second half (maybe conservative in the first half was his play cuz if you take the lead on indy too early, manning revs up and once he revs up, he's nearly unstoppable... manning got cold after more than an hour of sitting and he did what farve did, through a late interception (to the same saint defender) that turned the game around...

i like and admiring manning and the colts, but the saints and new orleans (and brees) so needed and deserve this that i have to cheer them and was rooting for them more (though i would have been happy with either team winning as i have not taken rooting for a team personally for years)... now if the country would only care about rebuilding new orleans as much as drew brees does, i'd have more respect for the u.s.a people... it's so easy for us to just look away and enjoy our comforts...

nevermind the social conscience for the moment, yay saints, hug to the colts, and now, back to some serious packing and cleaning... what are you up to? :)

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
