Oh that Dave...
I was laying in bed last night with Late SHow with David Letterman playing in the background when I heard three words that made me ears "stand up". Those three words were Paris Hilton and chihuahua. Then Dave said his joke that made me nearly fall out of bed. "Paris Hiltons dog was missing, but everything turned out to be fine. They found her dog with the Taco Bell dog making a sex tape". I'm sure it loses a little something having to read the punchline, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Ok so I'm 1-6 in Madden. For the most part I don't get killed, but I do one or two boneheaded things to let the game slip away. Last night I'm playing a guy as the Giants, he's the Vikings. The score is 10-7 in my favor with about a minute left. I get the ball back and make a couple of quick completions and then pick up a big 15 yard gain with Tiki Barber. I'm at the Vikings 20 with about 10 seconds to go. I throw to Shockey on a 5 yard out pattern, he makes the catch, breaks a tackle. I see the safety and a cornerback coming towards me as I streak down the sideline. I do a spin move to avoid the tackles and end up spinning out of bounds at the 2. With only a few ticks left, I was forced to kick a field goal. So I'm up 13-7 at the half. Missing that TD would turn out to be huge. Now with about 30 seconds left my opponent scores by sending a deep pass to Randy Moss. So he goes up 27-20. He ends up kicking the kickoff out of bounds, so I start out with great field position. I make it to the Vikings 40 and Eli Manning fires a bomb to Ike Hilliard, but Ike can't keep his feet in, so the pass is incomplete! I get down to the 10 yard line of the Vikings with about 10 seconds left, no time outs left. I quickly pick a play, rush to the line and fire a bullet to Shockey. He gets tackled at the 2 yard line as time expires. Ohhhh!!!! What heart breaker.
My photography has really taken a back seat lately to some of my other hobbies. Mostly, XBOX football, painting the bathroom and Flight Simulator 2004. Plus working such long hours, I don't feel like getting my gear together and heading out to shoot much. But my online buddy Gayle has inspired me to do a photo essay of "my town". I thought of doing something similar back in Queens, taking pictures of places I remember fondly as a kid. But I never got around to it. So I'm going to try to do this in around my neighborhood in Virginia. Rachel works late tomorrow night, so I think I may bring my gear with me to work and do some shooting. Hopefully I can find some images that are visually interesting.
Lastly, I am so hooked on the Olympics. Im not a big fan of the gymnastics, but the diving, swimming, track n field, and rowing have got me hooked. Then you throw in some 6 foot Norwegian babe playing beach volleyball, and I'm so there!!! One funny thing about the beach volleyball competition is that the Norwegian women got in trouble for wearing their birth control patches on their backs. Apparantly the birth control patch company is a big sponsor of theirs and encouraged them to wear them someplace visable. The Olympic commitee asked them to place them in a more discrete location. What impressed me is that the patches never came off. These women were in the hot Athens sun, sweating, diving on the sand and the patches stayed put. Nice!!!
