Quote of the day...

"Stones are
primordial matter.
Sand is matter
ground by the infinity
of time. It makes one
mindful of eternity.
Sand is matter,
which has been
transformed and has
almost become
liquid and spiritual."

Side Note: I went 9-16 on my picks for the games last weekend, I will see if I can do better this week.

Football and other stuff

First of all let me warn you right now. DO NOT see The Wickerman. It is terrible. It never takes a plot twist you don't see coming. The end just falls flat. There is no residual "creepy feeling' that you associate with a good scary movie, and Nick Cage, who I normally love, seems a little over the top and outshines the rest of the cast. Just don't eve bother. If you want to waste the 8 bucks, go buy four Power Ball tickets, you might get something out of them.

Next...

I have decided to start making football predictions at the beginning of every week. Its a experiment to see if I can guess as well as the "professionals." Wish me luck.

Miami at Pittsburgh- Mia, I think the Fins can take a Big Ben-less Steelers

Baltimore at Tampa Bay- TB, Going with the Bucs, its going to be a close one though good luck Simms

Atlanta at Carolina- Car, Got to go with the Panthers, don't think Vick can do it when they force him to stay in the pocket

Denver at St. Louis- Den, I will never go against my Broncos

Buffalo at New England- NE, never underestimate Tom Brady

Philadelphia at Houston- Philly, I will take McNabb over Carr any day, sorry Kubiack

New Orleans at Cleveland- NO, go Bush! Plus its the Browns...

Seattle at Detroit- Sea, Watch out Alexander, you can avoid the Madden curse

NY Jets at Tennesse- Ten, they have a solid D and I can never go with a team who doesn't even have the state they actually play in mentioned.

Cincinnati at Kansas City- Cin, besides the fact I want KC to lose, Carson Palmer has something to prove, that he can recover.

Chicago at Green Bay- Chi, Sorry Farve, I want you to win but your team just doesn't have it

Dallas at Jacksonville- Dallas, TO won't make Dallas implode until at least game 6

San Francisco at Arizona- Ari, I like how the looked in the off season and I like Kurt Warner

Indy at NY Giants- Indy, I got to give the Manning Bowl (Peyton vs Eli) to Peyton.

Minnesota at Washington- Wash. Sorry Vikings but I don't think you have it this year, and the Skins are stacked

San Diego at Oakland- SD, since it isn't possible for both to lose I will give it to the team least likely to implode

Now I will say I will get half of these wrong. Wish me luck ;).

Finally, House is Back on Fox. I love this show, and Hugh Laurie is amazing. If you haven't seen it, tune into your local Fox station at 8/7C (new time) and give it a chance. And don't be worried if you hear something this week about alien DNA, it won't go all SciFi on you, I promise.
