It was time for a new title for this blog. It’s not like I am really updating anybody on anything and what I usually end up doing is rambling anyways so I figured this would be an appropriate name for it. If anyone else has any suggestions, please tell me.
I’m surprised that I didn’t post a blog during “spring break” and I use that term loosely. I guess that I have been busy as of late so I haven’t really had time for me. When will this viscous cycle ever end? Maybe I just need some time off for me or better yet a vacation. At the very least, a back rub would be nice. It doesn’t help that I have been obsessing on a few things lately. I was in a state of confusing and chaos until today. But enough about my troubles…
I’m getting better in filling out my NCAA bracket. There is still some hope for me this year which usually isn’t the case. Usually, I am done by the second round. At the time of me typing this, 3 of the 4 teams that I picked for the Final Four are still in. In order to get this right, it takes a certain amount of brains, heart, guts, insanity, and luck. After that, you have to hope that there are no “Cinderella’s” or as they are called nowadays “George Mason’s.” That term may be changed to “Davidson’s” if this keeps up…
This is not fair: The NFL is considering creating a hair rule. I know that the NFL wants to crack down on things nowadays and is concerned about player safety, but this is ridiculous. This is about freedom of expression. If the man wants to wear his hair down, let him. Troy Polamalu is aware of the risks of letting his hair down. He was even tackled by his hair. Just leave him be. It’s his trademark anyways. Everyone else is just copying him. And if they do make this new rule, at least name it after him. No wonder they call it the “No Fun League.”

I have officially come to the conclusion that thugs don’t care about the value of human life, whether it is their own or somebody else’s. Yesterday, there was a shooting right across the street from Manchester Elementary School. This took place after school got out but while after school programs were in session. I can understand if you don’t care about your life or the life of another “adult”, but leave the children out of this. I said I wasn’t going to talk about these thugs anymore but this is out of control. It’s one thing to be afraid of walking through your neighborhood at night, but children should not have to be scared in broad daylight on the way to or from school, let alone directly across the street from it. During an interview on Friday, I could tell by the tone of the mayor’s voice that he is pissed. Just watch the news story here. As one resident rightfully said, “The streets don’t belong to them, they belong to us,” and I couldn’t agree with him more. This needs to end right here right now. This nonsense was too far a long time ago.
Ce n’est pas vie.
