Black Friday

Its that time of year again. Black Friday. That time when people wake up well prior to the butt ass crack of dawn to fight the crowds to get some good discounts on stuff we don't really need. And yes, I was at the mall around 5:15. We decided to forego Best Buy until later this morning, as the sales this year were rather pedestrian. I have made some good purchases so the lack of sleep wasn't a total waste.

Remember tis the season to forearm your way through the crowd.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am just sitting here at Intercontinental Airport in Houston about to board a flight down to Fort Lauderdale to spend Turkey Day with the family. I, of course, will be spending the day tomorrow snacking on whatever my dad cooks and sitting/laying on the couch watching football (actually have a few fantasy players going tomorrow (go Team Kitna). Unfortunately, through circumstances out of my control, I will also be working. Fret not dear readers as I will be with the people I care about most in the world and also my brother. So, however you are spending turkey day tomorrow, have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

There is a chance I may be live blogging my Black Friday shopping experiences starting with Best Buy around 3-4am.

Wednesday Afternoon Pre-Thanksgiving Video

This is a hilarious video interviewing "Sam McGuffie" otherwise known as the Cy-Fair High School runningback in Houston who made a name for himself with his hurdling of opponents. He is also a pretty stout runningback who will be playing bigtime D-1A college football next year.

Here is one of his highlight videos courtesy of youtube:

DY-NA-MO, DYNAMO!!

Yesterday, the Houston Dynamo defeated the New England Revolution to win their second straight MLS Cup (in their first two years playing in Houston) by a score of 2-1. The Dynamo looked sluggish in the first half surrendering a goal by some guy that makes Lance Bass look straight. Piss poor play by the right back lead to most of the Revolution's chances throughout the game, but he did cause the Revolution's forward to headbutt him and get him a yellow card (should've been red and it was right in front of the referee). Luckily, the defense stepped it up in the second half and the Dynamo moved the ball better leading to two goals and the victory, despite the absence of Brian Ching. Congrats Dynamo for being a team in Houston that actually looks like it wants to win a championship.
