One of my favorite sports writers cause when it all comes down, he’s as much of a fan as anyone and he gets it more then anyone.

I happen to like Peyton Manning more then he does cause I think he exudes class, but there is fact to what he says, and even though I want the Steelers to win this week cause of Big Ben, I have nothing but respect for the Patriots.

Except Corey Dillon. I don’t care if he’s happy, live it for the 8 years here when it’s tough before I show you ANY love.

… and that’s worst case scenario.

It will be 8 PM Saturday. I will be at the store, watching a bunch of very gifted gamers try and win some bank playing Halo 2. The bracket will count down ’til there’s no one left, and I’ll know what’s happening kinda.

Then Danielle will walk through the door and Halo will never have mattered so little! (Except I have to remain somewhat professional … darn!)

Yeah, she’s meeting me at the game store this weekend since I have to work the whole day doing a Halo 2 Tournament, which, so that Matt doesn’t panic, IS some of the most fun that we have at the store no doubt! So if you want to meet the love of my life, you know where to be and when to be there .. look for the sappy grin you can see a mile away!

But really, we talk every night now, and one of us will give a wake up call to the other every morning now. How cool is that! Even if we’re 100 miles apart, she’s the last voice I hear every night, and the first voice I hear every morning. No, she’s not here, I could only wish for that, but it has to be the sweetest thing there could be. All this and technically, our love is but a little over a month old (if you count phone calls). I’m glad that has the prefix technically, cause love isn’t technical, it defies logic, and breaks every law of physics. When it hits, it’s a stronger principle then any of those things.

And now, it’s only 46 hours 45 minutes. Say a prayer that it doesn’t snow much until she’s here for me, k?

* Still no props to Mother Nature. 4 more inches of snow? C’mon, have I mentioned the importance of nice clean interstates though the middle of Ohio recently? This is important stuff, and accumulations that cover the road simply aren’t good!

* Props to the Bengals (is that twice? Yes, be scared). I heard their new defensive coordinator talking tonight and he seems like he’s majorly got his head on his shoulders, and he’s coordinated a Super Bowl team. I’m definitely looking forward to attending some games next year, and how cool would another Monday Night game be!

* Props to text messaging in general. Nothing is better then seeing a text message from Danielle halfway through a stressful day. Suddenly, it doesn’t matter.

* Props to my Camry. I have a co-worker with a car with 25,000 miles on it (a Ford Focus) which breaks down about every time it’s due for an oil change. My only problems are other-driver induced.

* Props to newsgroups … they are the only part of the internet that can make my not worry about losing 4 gigs of music cause I can get it all back. Heck, I even re-found the Tales Of Symphonia OST!

And finally …. props to it being Thursday. Read up, there’s more on that.
