Like that annoying friend that just doesn't get it I'm back! Superbowl Sunday is just around the corner and I am somewhat confused by my feelings. For the sake of witnessing history, I really want the Patriots to win. I wish it were some other team, though. I become borderline ill rooting for Bill Belichek (is that spelled right?) and typically root for the underdog/sentimental fave when my Broncos aren't in it, but this is an event that I never thought possible. Perhaps what I look forward to the most is seeing what that idiot Mercury Morris from the undefeated '72 Dolphins will say after running his mouth all season long. Now time for my expert prognosis: Eli Manning gets picked off twice by Harrison, and Brady lights up the G-Men's defense by running for a TD and throwing for three more. Pats win 30-17. How ya like them apples?
Well on to something closer to home: How about the Jazz, baby?!? Owners of a nine-game win streak, and jumping from the nine spot to the division-leading 4 spot after locking down that stinky Frenchman and the Spurs. Not enough can be said of AK's incredible offense the last few games, and we robbed the Sixers blind with the Korver trade! He hasn't been incredible from beyond the arc, but he hits them when they count, and I love the fact that he can run the "Harpring Curl". As for the sub-par play of the backup point guards, I just hope Ronnie takes advantage of Jason Hart being hurt and stakes claim to those minutes. Anything to spare me from seeing that terrible jump shot. I see the Jazz holding on the top spot in the division. Portland doesn't really scare me (for now) and the Jazz will outplay the Nuggets over the rest of the season. Boo-Ya!

What did I do?
You know you are a boring, married person when you read your last entry and think: Hey, that's what i did this week, too. We are now 3-0, and the race for the title trudges along. I think I had 12 points this week which is my season high. I would also like to point out that I have outscored Simon Stonebraker (the downs-syndrome guy on my team) every game so far. This might sound wacky, but he outscored me thrice last season so I deem it noteworthy. (Just for the record I didn't shoot much in those games ;).)
So I just watched the latest episode of Prison Break and can't wait for the next episode. It is two weeks away and I have noticed that after really good episodes, they like to make me wait longer til the next one. I don't follow many other action tv shows like Lost or 24 to know if they are all like that.
To follow up on my Fave Food Forum, I did have Bajio last week, and today I went to IHOP. They are running their All-You-Can-Eat Pancakes and I had eight along with scrambled eggs, four sausagi (that is plural for sausage), one biscuit with gravy and some hash browns. The server (P.C.) said the record was 11. This was after I had finished or I would have gone for it. And promplty ralphed.
I said last week that I would discuss music, but strangely enough, I did listen much to my newest additions. I can at least mention two great new songs: Superstar by Lupe Fiasco, and Silverchair's Straight Lines. Both are great in their own respects, and are way too catchy to listen to right before you go to bed. Superstar has a great chorus/intro sung by Matthew Santos, and Lupes' flow is creative and fluid. Straight Lines is very much a departure from Silverchairs' first couple of grunge albums, but has an earnest, driving melody that brings a natural intensity instead of letting the distortion pedals do the hard work. Check 'em both out.

Here I am/Random Thoughts
Okay I am now a blogger (should that be capitalized?). Thanks to a new class i am taking, I have to write every week. I figure that my blog will be mostly random thoughts considering my lack of passion towards most subjects in life. Rarely do I get fired up over politics or stupid things other people do, but I might surprise both of us once in a while. I will cover sports, and blog about a few of my favorite things--food, music, girls (just kidding, dear).
Well, maybe I will start here: Bre and I have been married two and a half years. I am still working for Big Red Paving driving a dump truck and whatever else I do. Bre is now the Manager at the Walmart America First Credit Union. She still won't give me any money, however. Apart from that we are boring married people. No kids as of now, but we are hoping. Ward Basketball just started, and that always gets me excited! We have had two games so far and are still undefeated!!! Yeah, 2-0 and hoping to repeat as region champs.
Here is my Fave Food Forum: top three meals in my book go as follows: Bajio's chicken green chile quesadilla. This thing is like a dream come true. It has a sweet chutney sauce and sauteed onions that give a perfect combination of spice and sweetness...my mouth is watering just thinking about it! It goes for about eight bucks, but that doesn't stop me. Numero Dos on the list is the Lumberjack breakfast at IHOP. It comes with eggs, sausage, hash browns, 3 pancakes, and your choice of Biscuits and gravy or chicken fried steak. I recommend the biscuits. It also runs about eight dollars, but you get a ton of food--almost enough for two. Third is Salt Lake City's best kept secret--Charlie Chows. It is located across from the library on 4th south, and has the best chinese food for the price. Family style dishes go for about 10 bucks, and that can easily feed two. The Sesame Chicken is the best I have had, and I doubt there is better in utah. Wisely, they cook the chicken then put the seeds on so they don't get burnt and crunchy. They also have an awesome all-you-can-eat grill where you can create you own meals for around $11. Eat any of these meals and you will be very much pleased.
Looks like next time I will have to cover music, and discuss some of my latest purchases as well as some classics.
