I’ve always loved math. I remember studying extra in 6th grade so I could take Algebra in 7th grade (normally “advanced” students take Algebra in 8th grade, with most people taking it in 9th).
My epic plan to out-Doogie Howser my peers was summarily foiled when somehow it was determined that my entire 7th grade [...]

All-request Blog Hour

Remember how the NBA’s Washington Bullets changed their name to the Washington Wizards, back in the day? This was, of course, before they got those horrible gold uniforms that look like second-rate pajamas for the Purdue Boilermakers, but I digress. The point is, the Bullets changed their name as part of a program [...]

Wherein Jeremy Sobers Up Quickly…
January 24th, 2007 · No Comments
Now, I’ve mentioned this many times before, but I rarely talk about “personal” things on my blog. Color me wacky, but I just don’t think the Intarweb is the right place for that sort of thing. Besides, no one is really interested in my personal life. I mean, lurid descriptions of sex, [...]

What does Taco Bell say about me?
January 23rd, 2007 · 1 Comment
Anyone who knows me knows that I love Taco Bell. I see this as a staple of being an elite young American, much like owning an iPod or having an irrational love for some fucking horrendous French poet (neither of which I have, you might note). Loving Taco Bell is akin to loving [...]

2006 NFL Picks, Conference Championship
January 20th, 2007 · No Comments
What a week, eh?
I can’t remember ever being so disappointed at so many “good” games. All the games, in one way or another, were close. And I wouldn’t say that any of them were “good”. Neither the Ravens nor the Colts could get in the endzone. The Patriots won, but played [...]

2006 NFL Picks, Divisional Playoff
January 12th, 2007 · No Comments
We’re back with the second week of the playoffs. The big question on everyone’s mind, of course, is whether or not I can continue my streak of 3-1 weeks. This week’s slate is rough though. Seems like the only gimme is the Bears. But I guess that’s why the play the [...]

Pictures speak louder than words. Especially when the words are about football
January 10th, 2007 · No Comments
See? This isn’t about football. I promise.
I cannot, however, in good conscience, claim it’s any more interesting.
Regardless, here it is: The return of my Photo Gallery! And this time, I’m even going to use it!
No really. I’m going to upload a few more photo sets, and probably even add Gallery2 [...]
2006 NFL Picks, Status Update
January 8th, 2007 · No Comments
Like a pat of butter — or a zit on a fat girl’s stomach — we’re on a roll.
So far the playoffs have been good to both Brian and I, as we went 3-1 picking an indentical slate. We got lucky (the Cowboys covered, but lost) and unlucky (the Eagles won, but failed to [...]

No, really. Have a lovely year.
