Election Coverage Boycott

I refuse to watch any election coverage tonight. All night long you'll hear no-nothing talking-head pundits spewing nonsense, because there's really nothing to talk about. They'll speculate about this and that, trying to waste time while sloppy exit pollsters try to figure out who won so-and-so state based on some sampling of voters that may or may not reflect the opinions of actual voters.

Me, I'm just going to wait until everything is tallied up, and see which candidate collected the most electoral votes, then go along my merry way. In the meantime, I'm just going to chill out and have a tasty La Fin du Monde. Yum.

Right now, I'm watching some Tuesday Night Football. Did you know that Miami is playing Buffalo right now? Its Miami Ohio vs Buffalo U, on ESPN2 :-)

Granted, even ESPN is showing election results in their scroller at the bottom of the screen. Can't I just get away from this election? PLEASE?

What's On My Mind Right Now?

What's On My Mind Right Now?

• Oh no. Rex Grossman is back. Fuck it. I'm throwing it downfield!
• Jabar Gaffney has to catch that ball!
• I still love Ditka
• Clynelish is a very tasty single malt scotch. Yum!
• Dojo is the best javascript toolkit
  

That's all for now!

I'm Still Here - I Swear

Hey all - I'm sure you're all wondering why I haven't created any posts in the last few months. The only reason I have is that I haven't really had anything interesting to say. It was a fun summer, and so far its been a fun autumn. Now that its getting colder outside, I'm sure I'm going to have many more lonely nights at home, which will hopefully drive me to spout out some more random thoughts and jibber jabba.

So, to enlighten all of you trusty readers, I'll reach into my inbox and answer all of those amazing questions you've been sending me. Let's take a look at my inbox:
Oh, geez. Well, I guess I'm not answering any of your fan mail tonight. So, ya know what I'll do -- I'll just have a little Q&A with myself! Let's begin.

Q: Dude, what have you been up to the past few months?

A: Well, I watched my beloved Chicago Cubs finish atop the National League, and they promptly CHOKE in the playoffs. I watched my second favorite team, the Red Sox, stumble into the playoffs and lose to the upstart Tampa Bay Rays. (I DID watch game 5, and thoroughly enjoyed the entire series -- it was a great battle. I'm disappointed the Sox didn't win, but I'm not distraught.)

I watched Tom Brady go down 10 minutes into the Patriots season. On the other hand, I've watched none other than Kyle Neckbeard Orton lead the Bears offense like a super star. Is this some kind of bizarro world?

I found my inner nerd and attended the Ajax Experience conference over in South Boston. Yes, I'm a javascript geek - and yes it was totally friggin awesome. And, in case you're wondering, my javascript library of choice is Dojo.

Besides all that, I've had plenty of beer, played plenty of kickball games, had plenty more beer, and a lot of fun.

Q: Dude, that's boring shit. What about you love life? Where are all the ladies?

A: Really? Is that all you care about? You just wanna know whether I've scored?

Q: Yes

A: Well, that's not a question.

Q: I don't care. This isn't Jeopardy. Answer the damn question.

A: Fine. I went on a handful of first dates, but never felt any sort of connection. I did, however, go out with an awesome girl for a few weeks - and had a great time. Again, though, it didn't pan out. I guess I just didn't feel that certain spark, even though it was awesome.

Q: What do you mean you didn't feel that "spark"?

A: Dude, I don't know. I guess my heart just wasn't in it. Ya know what I mean?

Q: No, I don't.

A: Well, there's just that certain feeling, that certain je ne sais quoi that I'm looking for.

Q: Je ne sais quoi? WTF does that mean?

A: It means you're a shithead. In French.

Q: You're calling me a shithead?

A: Yes.

Q: Dude, you're calling yourself a shithead.

A: That's not a question.

Q: You're the one who's making up these stupid questions!

A: All right, this is getting stupid. I'm having a fake argument with myself in a fake Q&A post.

Q: Fine. One last question: Phillies or Rays?

A: I'm rooting for the Phillies, however I really have no idea who's going to win this series. The Rays are a great team, and it wouldn't surprise me if they won the whole thing.

Well, I've run out of material for this post. However, I think I like the idea of answering random questions. I think I'll start a new "Ask a Bachelor" gimmick. I'm sure, everyone out there is just dying to find out the opinion of a single 30-something bachelor.

So, got any questions? Ask a bachelor. I'll give you the honest bachelor answer.

Almost Warm Enough

Its 60 degrees outside right now. If it was about 10 degrees warmer, I think I'd be deck-blogging tonight. Its something that I've always wanted to do - but just haven't done so yet.

One of these days I really want to take my laptop onto my deck, kick back, grab a beer, and do a little blogging from the deck. I don't know what I'll talk about - but that's not important. Sitting on my deck and wirelessly typing gibberish is the name of the game.
