Sunday was a busy day...
Warning! Boring Football Talk to follow in the next few paragraphs!
My friends Lanee & Roger had a Vikings VS. Green Bay Packers party at their house in the early afternoon. I didn't watch a single minute of the game while I was there.....I am not proud of the Vikings these days. And not just because of the recent SEX scandal that has gotten them such great publicity in the past few weeks. They just plain SUCK!!! I lost my confidence in them during the 98-99 season when Gary Andersen missed the field goal kick that would've brought them to the Superbowl. It hurt so bad I decided I just couldn't do it anymore with that team!
To me football is really about the socializing with other people while "watching" the game. This is the way it always was for me in High School until my little brother started playing. One time while watching one of his games, I asked my mom why Brian wasn't out there playing. She was like, "well he plays defense. That is the offense out there." I am not kidding...I had no idea that the offense and defense didn't play at the same time! I was a soccer player for goodness sakes and we all played together!! Anyway, Kim and Katie came to the party and it was really nice to see them. Here is a cute pic of me Kim and Lanee:
I ended up leaving the party before the game was over because I had a few errands to run before I went back home. I got home in time to watch the last 1:23 of the game. The Vikings had come back to take the lead and then Green Bay tied it up with just a few seconds to go. Can you believe that the Vikings had a chance to score a Field Goal (for the win) with 2 seconds left, 56 yards away....and the kick was GOOD!!!! That was a team record FG. And I still hate the Vikings!!
Shortly after the game we got ready to head downtown to see one of our favorite heavy bands of all time: SEVENDUST!!!! I have seen these guys probably 10 times and they still kick my ass every time!! The show was last-minute at a small venue and they had this place slammin'. It never fails that the mosh pit opens up right next to where I am standing and I sometimes get lost in the pandemonium. Here are the best pictures I could risk taking:
Latest on my effin laptop.....I think the problem is somewhere in my Network Bridge. Not sure what my next move will be. Today at lunch I went to Target to by an External Harddrive....a place I can put all my pictures and keep them safe! I also bought a jump drive so I can easily take pictures from computer to computer. Thank God I have a pretty sweet PC at home that still has working Internet. I'd die if I couldn't get online again! I will try my hardest to keep up with all the fun blogs I love to read. And maintain this one, of course!
I guess it could be worse...My brother Jeff just told me that the Web hosting company he uses for his personal site and all the ones he creates for business is based in Miami....apparently somewhere near where Wilma hit....because everything is GONE. Or at least down for the time being! That really stinks if you have them as your e-mail provider as well.
I also wanted to give a shout out to my Gramps who turned *80* yesterday!!! Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday to your Grandpa!!! Sounds like you had a great time, love those concert pics!
