unsportsmanlike conduct?

i’m not sure why exactly [url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/football/nfl/12/14/horn.cellphone.ap/]joe horn[/url] is getting so much publicity for what his little cell phone victory. i guess me talking about it only makes the situation worse, but a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct is good enough. i mean, do we really have to worry about victory dances? is it really that big of a deal? i thought it was kind of tacky, but i mean, come on, surely there were more interesting things going on in the world of sports this weekend, right? …right?

average joe finale

i think that i’ve watched most of the average job series. i have to admit that i think that the producers of average joe really lucked out with melana. i say this because she’s a very attractive woman who just happened to be a very good person inside as well. she gave the guys a real chance even though they may not have been the normal lot of guys that she usually chooses from.

in the finale, we see melana choose jason, the part-time water and student who she has on numerous times described as “pretty”. instead of choosing adam, the average joe (who actually isn’t so average, as a 27 year old millionaire), who is very romantic, sweet, and caring. what i think it finally boiled down to was that melana was not physically attracted to adam. physical attraction won.

her choice sort of reaffirms my faith in women that they aren’t all gold diggers. she had the choice between a starving student and a successful millionaire. but this also reaffirms the old adage that “nice guys finish last.”

it wouldn’t have mattered which way she choose, i don’t think that it could have come out well for her. if she choose adam, i would have said that she’s a gold digger who never really dug adam until she saw his money….so she was put into an impossible situation. i think she made the right choice though, she picked the person who she was most attracted to. would you ever want to be in a relationship where you weren’t really attracted to the person?

i really wanted adam to be picked though. the guy is a stud and he’s very cool, modest, and a good person at heart.

i can’t wait to see the new average joe…in the clip of the next season we see a girl who seems really bitchy!

see’s candy

i have so much see’s candy at home. my sister gave me a bunch of see’s candy chocolate bars. my mom gave me 4 pounds worth of chocolate: a 2 pound box of the nuts and chewy and a 2 pound box of the milk chocolate candies. i have so much chocolate in the apartment right now, i don’t know what to do with it.

how is it that see’s candy became THE candy of choice to give? how come gummy bears didn’t win that market? or kit kat? or crunch bars? what makes see’s candy more common than other chocolates like godiva? is it just the moderate price point? hmmmm…

why are mondays the hardest to take?

in an on-going effort to learn how to use the canon s400, i decided to bring it up with me to the slopes over the weekend. the weather was pretty good over the weekend and i must admit that we were pretty lucky. it was supposed to snow and be quite windy, but instead we saw a little bit of fog and just the tiniest little bits of snow.

it took me a long time to get my feet under me. i don’t know why it was so hard, but man, it’s been a while since i’ve boarded. i sort of wonder if snowboarding is really for me anymore. it was fun and all, but it was more of the same. i don’t know if i’m into it anymore. odd. maybe it was all the snowboarding i did during my early days of unemployment that has just tired me out.

oh well, hopefully these monday blues will be over.

on a tangent, today’s been a particularly productive day at work. i finally was able to work out some big issues that i’ve been ignoring for a while because i wasn’t sure how to deal with it. looks like it’s not so bad anymore.
