Super Bowl Sunday

Well, it’s finally here. Super Bowl Sunday. The one day a year most of the country goes stupid.

Big screen TV’s are purchased. Beer sales at all-time highs. Chips, pretzels, dips, and varied and sundried other items are consumed en masse.

All because of a little game called ‘football’. This year it appears it’s The Saints vs. The Colts. Confession time. I don’t even know what cities these teams are from. I don’t have bets riding on either side, and actually don’t care which one wins. The outcome of this game will have absolutely NO effect on my life whatsoever, so why should I? “We won!” – what we? Did you play? Did you call the plays? Are you getting WAY too much money to chase a little ball around and get your body banged up?

It’s called ‘entertainment’. That’s all it really is. Keep it in perspective. Enjoy the game for what it really is, a program to fill time between commercials! Usually the ‘best’ commercials of the year and certainly the most expensive. This year is not without controversy either. It should be interesting.

Enjoy the game, have a great day! For those like me, who only watch for the commercials (the rest of you too), enjoy this little clip featuring Greg Benson, Jonathan Coulton and Paul & Storm.

Celebrity Homes

I find it kind of amazing what a few million, or even a billion will get you.  Be sure to look at them all.

Enjoy, and don’t necessarily be jealous.
