In college I dated a girl who was cross-eyed. It was okay, but eventually I had to break it off. Turns out she was seeing someone on the side.

I saw a thing on the Book of Face today reminding us all that this is the first playoffs without Tom Brady or Peyton Manning since 1998. Sweet mercy, we have become old.

I won $10,000 in a contest, and I decided to donate a quarter of it to charity. Now I have $9,999.75!

Wait, I though Josh McDaniels was the designated successor to Bill Belichick.... I saw a bit on Facebook asking where Belichick would go next. So I made what I thought was a very helpful suggestion: the University of Alabama.

A couple of funnies from xkcd:

Trick of the light, or just A loss of perspective Flaw in the grand plan Just the way it is Looks good from a distance, but The closer I come it Becomes more daunting but These moments will pass Still Halfway up the hill My fingers may bleed But I've got to get there Still Standing on the hill My spirit's released But I've got to get there Lost in an abstract thought Dazed and distracted Winded yet still I'm caught With a fragment of doubt Slowed by reflection, but These moments will pass Still Halfway up the hill My fingers may bleed But I've got to get there Still Standing on the hill My spirit's released But I've got to get there It's just confusion An illusion Easily overdone Here comes resolution Absolution It's not an illusion Not a fiction Easily overcome Here comes revolution Absolution Trick of the light, or just Too much perspective Looks good from a distance, but The closer I come, it Becomes more daunting, but These moments will pass Still

We're talking about somebody whose headquarters is not just an entire galaxy, but a ring of galaxies? I'm going to go with "Leave him the heck alone."

Well, -30 is definitely under 43.5. What?

BYU's non-conference season was fantastic. They went 12-1, with the only loss on the road to the hated Utes. The Cougars are now 0-2 in Big 12 play, after losses to Cincinnati at home and Baylor on the road. It's like football season all over again.

They've eliminated Snow Days and replaced them with Distance Learning Days. What?

Last night I had a dream that I was rich and famous and I lived in a beautiful mansion. This morning I woke up the same as always. I'm broke, nobody knows who I am, and I live in a rundown single wide trailer. I guess that's what I get for buying a dreamcatcher from the dollar store.
