After the Hurricanes’ debacle in San Fran last night, I had this feeling of impending doom about today’s Jets v Dolphins match-up. The one thing that started to give me hope earlier in the day was the fact that Drew Brees fell 16 yards short of breaking Dan Marino’s single-season passing yards record, despite the fact that Carolina almost GAVE it to him when they booted the kickoff out of bounds with just one second left on the clock. Luckily, Brees choked and threw it short on a wide open pass that would’ve got him one of Dan’s last major NFL records.

While that gave me a lot of hope, the way things were going early on in the Dolphins game had me nervous beyond belief. They were seemingly dominating the Jets, but kept making significant boneheaded mistakes. The Pennington fumble, the Ricky drop on what would’ve been a huge pass play, and the errant pass by Ronnie Brown that could’ve been a potential long TD. Throw in those and all the false starts and offsides and I was beginning to think it just wasn’t meant to be. Luckily, things started to come together. Favre started trying to put his interceptions record out of reach, and we held on to a euphoric 24-17 win.

To be quite frank, I don’t think we have any shot at all at making it to and winning the Super Bowl. We won’t likely make it out of the first round. However, after suffering through a 1-15 season last year, just making the playoffs is a huge victory for me. That said, it’s the playoffs and anything can happen. Maybe we surprise some folks, myself included, and we make a nice little run.

It’s official. Jacory Harris is my least favorite Miami Hurricane in the history of the football program. He’s been so hyped, people have been begging for him to get the start, and he finally got a big shot in tonight’s lame ass bowl game against Cal in San Francisco. He started the game off horribly, then showed some promise in the middle, and then absolutely choked down the stretch to hand the game to the weak ass Pac-10 team.

First, he fumbled inside his own god damn 5 yard line. Take care of the fucking ball you fucking moron! Just take the sack or throw it away, don’t run around with the ball loose like the world’s biggest moron. His idiotic fumble resulted in a Cal TD that gave them a 24-17 lead with 2 1/2 minutes left to play. So, he has a shot to make up for it, right? Well, yeah, except his idiotic play continued.

It began with our retarded offensive coordinator starting off with a straight run play, that netted us nothing and took some time off the clock. Then Jacory, dinked and dunked it 3 times to gain 9 yards and a first down while taking a minute and a half off the clock. Then the brainless wonder takes off running and instead of just stepping out of bounds like he had a clear shot to, he cuts it up field and takes off another 30+ seconds off the clock. He waisted 2 minutes just to gain about 15 yards. Pure genius. I hate him and blame his retarded ass for us losing to Cal.

EDIT: January 15, 2009 — Now that some time has passed, my hate for Jacory has faded. The truth is that it was a fairly meaningless bowl game that the team was expected to lose and, as is the norm with me, I often just get too worked up over any game the Hurricanes lose. I’m back to being a Jacory fan and am now anxiously awaiting for National Signing Day to see if the Canes can land another solid top 10 class!

I’d like to take this opporutnity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope that everyone is having a joyous holiday. I’m stuck home alone with no gifts to speak of, but things are definitely very merry thanks to my Xbox 360 and lots of free time that will allow me to play some Mercenaries 2, Star Wars The Force Unleashed and Fallout 3. I may even put a little Left For Dead in the box, as well. And as a special gift to all of you, I will be posting a new Babe of the Week at some point before this day is through. Once again, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

To be quite honest, I might be late in saying this, but I think Prison Break has finally jumped the shark. I am just sick and tired of the storyline and am driven to the point of vomit when I hear the voices of many of the characters. Part of me wishes I would’ve just bailed on the show during Season 2, but I hadn’t grown to hate it yet and Season 3 seemed to get things back on the right track.

That said, the series has clearly gone on for far too long. The characters just lack the depth that’s needed to sustain them beyond a couple of seasons. The best thing that happened to the series was when Sarah Tancredi died but they fucked that up and it turned out she was still alive. Now every single episode I’m stuck praying that the bitch dies because she’s one of the most annoying female characters on television.

I had to “watch” the game via Gamecast because the Pats were the only game on at 1PM today, but the Dolphins game against the Chiefs drove me crazy nevertheless. Thankfully, I was able to follow it while blowing shit up in Mercenaries 2 or I might’ve gone insane. They managed to pull yet another rabbit out of their hat and are now the first team in history to win 10 games in a season following one which they won 1 or less.

I’m still a bit pessimistic about their chances at beating the Jets, but it’s pretty simple for them — if they win they’re AFC East champs and in the playoffs, if they don’t, they’re most likely left out in the cold. After last year’s 1-15 disaster, I honestly couldn’t have wished for anything better than this. I’m proud of them either way and it’s been a very fun year of watching them play.

I have to take percocet for the pain from my recent surgery and I must say that this stuff is horrible for the whole jerking off thing. I’ve tried rubbing one out about a half dozen times since the surgery and have only managed to finish once. A few times I would just get bored before the big bang and others I would just wear my arm out after tugging at the little guy for 40+ minutes. That’s just way too long to do this sort of thing, even if you’re able to switch hands. I’m now debating if I’d rather just have the pain than this inability to successfully blow my load in a reasonable amount of time.

I’ve been wanting to watch it forever, but because it was released in a very limited production and was fetching insane prices on eBay, I had never been able to watch The Last Days of Disco until late last night. Luckily, Brandon — being the sweet and caring guy he is — decided to bring me over a care package that included Fallout 3, the strat guide for it, chicken soup and the aforementioned movie on DVD.

The truth is that I had no idea whether or not it was even a good movie. I just wanted to see it for the young Kate Beckinsale because that’s all it takes for me sometimes, as seen by my extensive Jessica Alba movie collection. What I found out that it was a fairly entertaining movie and was worth watching for more than just Kate Beckinsale jerk material. It gets a full cock up from me.

Alright, so she isn’t really jailbait. Regardless, Madeline Zima’s character on Californication IS and there’s something scandously sexy about that. Throw in the facts that she has an amazing rack and her character on the show clearly loves the cock, and you have one mighty fine Babe of the Week-worthy piece of ass.

As I’ve mentioned previously, this show is filled with Spank Bank™-worthy fodder and, believe me, I’ve been stiffening quite a few socks and wash cloths thanks its inspirational message. There will inevitably be a plethora of future BotW’s that will come from this Showtime classic. And while on the topic of Showtime, there’s some hot naked Asian girl on TV now in some movie called Swingers Sex Party. Forgive me, while I see what it’s all about.

The super quick surgical procedure was also a Godsend because Brandon was able to pick me up before it got too insane outside with the snowfall. It was coming down hard by the time he got me from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and it was already white all over, but the storm had basically just hit at that time so it wasn’t overly horrendous outside.

They’re saying we will be getting up to 12″ of snow and I honestly don’t mind at all because I’m stuck inside this weekend anyway because of the surgery. Really love watching the snowfall, anyway, because it’s almost as pretty as the snow in APF during night games. It can be quite mesmorizing and, thankfully, I don’t have to drive in it.

I had surgery to remove my gallbladder this morning and things actually went super smooth. Not only did the pre-surgery wait time fly right by, but, since I was completely under, the surgery was also over before I knew it. The hardest part has been dealing with the extreme sleepiness as a result of the anesthesia.

The various holes they needed to put in my belly do hurt a bit, but the percocet is doing a fine job of making that a bit of a non-issue, as well. The only downer is that the pain meds has caused some constipation so it’s hard to poo even though I really have the urge to get some of this crap out of me (in fact, I’m posting this blog entry via the crapper).

Nevertheless, I’m glad to finally have this taken care of because it’s been a pain in my ass — well moreso the stomach and back — for much of the past six months. It’ll be nice not to have to deal with it anymore.
