The fantasy football championship is MINE!
HOLLA! i won! I won! a major award! well i didn’t win anything except bragging rights i guess, but i’ll take it. those late night fantasy football tuesdays paid off i guess. much love to my awesome roster: qb- aaron rodgers; rbs- jamaal charles, rashard mendenhall, pierre thomas, jerome harrison; wrs- andre johnson, sidney rice, mike sims-walker, chris chambers; tes- jermichael...
two wins in a row. maybe there are some bleak playoff hopes after all. very doubtful, but you never know… the defense played a lot better this week not amazing, but at least they got some stops. time for the potw honors. i’ll only be doing this one more week (probably). bummer. i thought ike taylor had a great game. so did ziggy hood. heh ziggy. crazy name. there are the potw....
Christmas break.
from work that is. i’m off until monday. time to kick back and enjoy the holiday season. the best part? i have everything done. taking it easy for the next few days? i can definitely do that. i’ve been listening to anberlin like crazy recently. i wish they would release some vinyl. they need to do that. they put out solid albums. i received my enema of the state vinyl yesterday. yes! i...
Big in '10: Four Year Strong →
now on to a band i’m not late on. i found out about this band, four year strong, at warped a few years ago. i heard they were making quite a ruckus on it. that’s right, ruckus. so i downloaded their debut rise or die trying. pretty solid music that actually has some punk in their pop-punk music. thankfully and finally! saviors of a genre? maybe. at least something real and about the...
Phoenix →
believe the hype. i saw this band in gq and said to myself, “i need to check this band out.” i put it off until last thursday. i was going through the top artists of ‘09 on lastfm and saw them at #16. i quit procrastinating that night and downloaded wolfgang amadeus phoenix. the critics and listens were correct. this band put out a great album. it’s pretty catchy, and if...
Finally!
it’s about time the steelers get a win. they pulled out one similar to the super bowl. although this one had far less significance. potw is actually a complicated decision this week. they offense put on a show while the defense didn’t play all that well. so for potw i gotta go with three guys: roethlisberger had a career day, mendenhall proved he can make a catch out of the backfield,...
Artist Throwback: The Juliana Theory →
this is my first blog of this type. i can’t be honest and say how many i’ll do cause i don’t know. i have a feeling more will come down the road. time will tell i guess. it’s no secret that my personal favorite music period occurred around 2000-‘05. i’m a big pop-punk/post-hardcore fan. that time period was just flourishing time for the pop-punk genre. a...
Watchit’s not because this is a great music video by any means. i just like this song a whole lot. blessthefall put out an amazing album this time around. “what’s left of me.”
dexter’s final episode of the season was a total shocker. i definitely didn’t expect it to end the way it did. killing off a main character like that was something i didn’t expect. right at the last minute too. it’s was a good episode though. i can’t wait to see what next year brings. in other news, i made the fantasy football playoffs. *big smile* thank god andre...
R.I.P. & Rap
hmph? new changes to tumblr i see. i’ll have to check those out sometime. now is not the time. well, it’s official, the steelers are done this season. when your offense can’t score more than three points against the browns you know you’re in trouble. what the heck, man. hopefully they turn things around next year. three more games left this year. i can barely find a player...
in short: potw, bowl games, best new artist, and...
well i have a lot to talk about, but i’m gonna try to keep it short. first, man the steelers lost their fourth game in a row today… to the raiders of all teams. the playoff window is closing. we can’t seem to hold onto a lead this year. for once, we’re not coming back at the end of games. i’d say they have to win four in a row to make it, but even that may not secure...
Welcome back A.I.! It's good to see him back in... →
That's What's Up ('09)
so it may be a little early for this, but it’ll be hard to find time to fit this in with the coming holiday season. why not write it now since i have the time? a look back on 2009. not just any look back, my look back. what was hot about ‘09? hands down the best movie was i love you, man. i went to see it twice in theaters but would have gladly went for a third and quite possibly more....
ugh, why do i like the maine so much? they’re so generic sounding. that being said, it’s hard for me to stop listening.
