In My Opinion, That Sucked

Ahhh how I love your quotes Jim Mora.



But I'm of course not talking about the Saints, but rather the JETS.

Yesterday afternoon Stevers & I took the Babyman & Bnard to the Jets-Chiefs game as a Christmas gift. After snapping at our car driver (who was new, retarded, and not listening to me) we marched to the top of the stadium to our seats.

The Jets scored early in the first quarter and despite a field goal from each team in the first half, it was a horrendously boring game. The icing on the cake was the ice that pelted us from the sky at a rapid rate (also known as hail)... which turned worse when the melted ice soaked everything during the second half.

Cold, wet, and neither team going no where.... the only saving grace for the game was the company.

And in the last 5 minutes the stupid Chiefs score a TD and TIED the game... The stadiums by that point were empty and neither team seemed to want to win. As Bnard said, Herme Edwards, wasn't it you who said YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME. Apparently this rule doesn't apply to the Chiefs.



Finally after three possessions in overtime, the Jets kick a field goal... they start running off the field, we celebrate, we cheer! Horray! Let's go home... and the official announces HOLDING on the offense, 10 yard penalty... Mike-I-Miss-Point-Afters-Nugent must kick an even harder field goal.

I was convinced we'd become ice statues stuck to the seats... fortunately even Nugent wanted to go home and kicked the game winning field goal.

The Gift of Experiences

As a Christmas gift to our parents, sibling, and each other, Sah and Stevers purchased tickets to the Giants-Patriots game a few months ago. As the promise of a historical game became more and more likely, the Kresses made the 5 hour trip to the Big Apple NYC. We took a limo out to the Jers and arrived an hour and a half early... yet ALL THE BROCHURES WERE GONE! Of course they are now on Ebay... anyway...

Decked out in Patriots gear I was sure that we were going to get endlessly heckled. Despite a few "Brady sucks" calls, there were a ton of other Patriots fans and we were equally praised for our gear.

The game itself was... well it was electric and legendary. It felt like a playoff game, and it was the best and most incredible game to attend. I couldn't imagine a better experience.

With NFL records broken, we witnessed 4 historical moments:

• most points in a regular season (589)
• most td passes in a regular season (50)
• most td receptions in a regular season (23)
• undefeated 16-0 regular season

The Giants played their heart out and I consider them to have won. Maybe not the game, but certainly the love and respect of the nation for going out there when they had nothing to gain. What an experience.

Giants - Patriots (1/32)

Saturday, December 2007

It's week 17 and the Patriots have gone the entire season undefeated!  When Steve and I bought the tickets as a Christmas gift for our families, we had no idea it would be such an important and exciting game!  Unfortunately for the New Yorkers, the Patriots won, but it was not without its excitement!

Records:

• Brady record for most TDs/season 
• Moss record for most TDs / season 
• Patriots end the regular season 16-0 

Highlights:

• Giants score a TD on a kick return  
• [Added later]  We had no idea that what we were watching would turn out to be a preview of the Superbowl matchup 

Trip memories:

• Nothing like the limo driver bumping another car on the way home... 

Setting:

• worst seats possible: Last Row of the 300's on an end zone (meadowlands stadium)
• none the less, it was an intense, exciting game with everyone standing the entire time
• weather was biting and cold but tolerable

Mission: first game of our goal to see all 32 teams! 
Game Award : highest level of play 

Referee Ethics

I recently heard that Joe Gibbs' excuse for the consecutive time-outs in the game against Buffalo: he asked the ref first. This brings to mind a few questions:

1. What does that ref have to say for himself?

2. Did the ref purposefully mislead Joe Gibbs?

3. Should / Are the ref's allowed to tell the coaches the rules? Are they not allowed to tell them the rules? Should the coaches be expected to know the rules as well as the ref's do? Is it an unfair advantage to ask the ref a question and him tell one coach but not another?

I guess ref's should just keep their mouths shut until they are calling a penalty or telling a coach they can't challenge that play. Any thoughts?

It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's... Bill to the rescue

When there's something strange in the locker room, who you gonna call? Bill Parcels! He's starting to remind me of George Clooney's character in the movie Michael Clayton... he's becoming a cleaner... the guy you go to when you need things fixed.

Well Miami definitely needs things fixed.

No task too hard, no mountain too high - Bill Parcels will take care of your problems.

Brett Breaks B'record

The old man beat Marino's career-passing yards. Wow. Congrats. I tip my hat to you sir.

Sah & Stever's Christmas Tree of Football

Recently, Sah & Stevers purchased their charlie-brown christmas tree for their cozy, manhattan studio apartment. Sah is somewhat against chopping down, buying, and destroying real trees for the sake of 'tradition' and one month of (heck one day) of partying so we've struck a deal of alternating years of cut-down and potted trees.

The plan for our tree and future trees (fake and real) is to have all NFL team ornaments... maybe an angel with her hands in the air (signally a TD)... however right now we have none. But it sets us up for some great stocking-stuffer traditions! Yay! Pictures to come.

No Country For Old Men - Or People Who Don't Understand the Title

Well... i'm not really sure what to say about this movie. It was fun, "very violent", and bad-ass-esque... however, I still don't get the title or the point of the movie.

I felt the more prominent theme had to do with 'luck' however the title indicates we should have been looking at the old-man being out-mastered theme. Maybe if I read the book i'd understand better - but who has time to read? :)

Shaun Hill: The Next Tony Romo?

Although it disgusts me that I refer to a player on the Cowboys as a model of impressive football playing, I can't deny Romo's talent.

With that said, the 35,000 of us who had access to the NFL Network's viewing of the Cinncy-49ers game walked away with a new respect for Mr. Hill who sat on the bench for the last 6 years.

Hill completed 21-of-28 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown. But more impressive is what you can't see in stats and numbers - his scrambling skills... his split-decisions... his speed... watch out for this guy!

Grrrr, Ravens Ruin Record!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Not that I have anything against Miami, but I really feel like it'd be awesome if the Patriots went undefeated in the same year the Dolphins went totally defeated. C'mon admit it. There would be something magical about having a league - heck a DIVISION - with a team 19-0 and a team 0-16.

Oh Baltimore... what did you do? I hope this is not prophetic for the Patriots... who play Miami next week! eeek!

Joe Gibbs, You Idiot!

So this was two weeks ago - Buffalo-Washington. The Skins players had just suffered and felt the grevious loss of Sean Taylor. But they had fought through the game, the challenges... and were on the verge of a win.

All they had to do was ice the Buffalo kicker from scoring a field-goal.

I'm sitting on the couch at my Aunt's house watching the game with my entire familyl. Joe Gibss calls the first time. La da dee da... now it's time to leave all the pressure on the kicker's shoulders.

I ask "can you call two-time outs in a row?"

Nick replies, "No, you can't. You need a play in between."

But then what does Joe-I-Am-So-Old-I-Wrote-The-Book-Gibbs do? He calls a time out? What are you thinking?

If someone saw the press conference afterwards, feel free to send it to me and I'll post it. It's time to retire.

Do Jet Fans Even Care?

Last Sunday, I attended the Jets-Browns game at the Meadowlands. As a Christmas gift, I brought my girlfriends who are less-knowledgable about football and had never been to a professional game.

While the game wasn't exactly 'exciting' - at least not as exciting as today's Pats-Jets game - the crowds were even more apathetic, instead:

• making paper airplanes and competing to fly them onto the field


• singing some bizarre cheer that said something about OJ killing his wife


• shouting J-E-T-S jets, jets, jets


• watching the cheerleaders


• had more excitement at the half-time 5-year mini football game


• moving seats to trade-up to better ones

Oh yea... and the Jets sucked so bad. I mean they were practically given touchdowns and they gave them away. It disgusted me. We left when it started hailing. No offense to you jet-fans.

New Classic Referee Quote

Every once in a while the refs say something completely and totally unexpected. A few years back it was the "Flag-Fell-Out of Pants" penalty... and today during the Patriots-Jets game it was:

Delay of Game due to snowballs being thrown on the field

My new favorite type of delay. Snowball fight.

What the Titan's Record Should Be

I know I've neglected to comment on my own favorite team's performance this season... The Titans... However, I am often frustrated by either my inability to watch the games here in NYC.... or to watch the Titans get robbed... or for our receivers to drop Young's passes... okay there's a lot that hurts the heart...

I know "almost" doesn't count, especially in a sport like football, but I have to argue that the Titan's record doesn't even come close to reflecting their true game performances. Let's review!

Official Record: 6 wins, 5 losses

5 Losses Include:

• 20-22 to Indy
• 10-13 to Tampa
• 13-28 to Jacksonville
• 20-34 to Denver
• 35-6 to Cinncy

But really, the Titans outplayed the Colts in Week 2 and should have won that game. The Tampa game was also close and I really don't consider that a true loss. We were not outplayed.

I will concede the division game to jacksonville was lost the second time around (but that's just what statistically is going to happen with you play the same team so frequently) and Denver and obviously tonight the Bengals.

But that should really put us at....

8 Wins, 3 Losses

I know I'm living in dream world, but don't worry, it's only Vince's second year and we're still pulling things together. Imagine if we had Pacman this year! Our defense would be unstoppable. Next time save the dollar bills for tipping the pizza delivery guy.

Reason #5367 Why I'm Not a Jets Fan

Aside for the butt-conquering, back-riding from the Cowboys Thursday... this is virtually the same atmosphere and impression of Jets Fan I had 15 years back when I first attended a Jets Game...

I'm not sure why its taken the NYTimes this long to catch on, but . Read it and puke. I did.

At Jets Game, a Halftime Ritual of Harassment

Packers Gobble Up Detroit


While most Americans spent last Thursday in a gluttonous state of food stupor, d'em Meat Packers captured the Lions like they were trapped Turkeys. Although the final score was 37-26, it was a slaughter for all intensive purposes.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Giants Conquored By Vikings

Unfortunately I'm not talking about a chapter out of a history book or fairy tale. Eli is far from the Prince or Valiant Knight who could lead the troops to victory... instead, this disaster is tonight's Sunday reminds us this young, overshadowed Manning boy is more like the Ashley Simpsons of the world... oh dear that was way harsh. I don't mean it Eli. You're not that bad, but good lord son, today's performance is just as embarassing to watch as Ashley's 'singing' on SNL.

And Adrian Peterson didn't even play.

4 interceptions, three for TDs. Sigh.

Turnovers, punt returns, kick off returns, safetys... As wise Santa Belichick said in last week's press conference.. these are like "bonus points". Statistically as a coach you can't count on them, however every time bonus points are on the board, it puts you that much further behind...

Snap out of it Gmen! Get rocking! You're still number one spot for the wild card, but don't let that slip away!

Too Close for Comfort

Whoa Patriots... Hott darn AJ Feeley... 23 point spread? Not so much.

Mister Hester Snuffs Mr. Sauerbrun

With 11 return receptions in 27 games. Utterly Unbelievable. That's all he does and he does it incredibly. Touches the ball, what? Ten times a game at best? And two out of every five game he does, he puts 6 more points on the board? Talk about clutch.

Last year, six return tds in one season shattered the NFL record, yet already this year he's had five... with five more weeks to go... At this rate, a mathematical person would propose that he'll return two more!

But that's assuming the next five teams the Bears play use Mr. Sauerbrun's mentally... What was the quote? Oh yes:

“We’re not going to kick away from him,” Sauerbrun told The Denver Post. “We
respect him and he’s the best, but we have guys on our coverage teams that are
paid to make big tackles.”

While I respect Sauerbrun's attempt to keep football a more true sport than baseball (cough intentional walks cough cough), there is something to be said for strategy in this human game of chess.

Well after 1 punt return AND 1 kick-off return, Sauerbrun had to eat his words... and the ball... almost literally. The one time he tries to punt it away from Hester it gets blocked and returned for a TD... be damned if you do, be damned if you don't.

Either way Sauerburn looks ridiculous. Sawwy.

If it wasn't for Hester today, I don't think the Bears would have been able to go to OT in order to get that W. Anyway, someone should put a compilation of all of Hester's returns and put it on YouTube. I don't have time.

In the meantime, check out the NFL.com highlights.

PS. NFL.com, let me embed your videos! wahh!

Perfect Stranger, Perfectly Horrible

Hallie Berry... how did you ever win an Academy Award? Overacting her role... Bruce Willis' execution of such a bland character, 'Harrison Hill', failed to save or add to this film. While most of the time I was occupied with trying to figure out what other movies Giovanni Ribisi was in (I decided Boiler Room was the most memorable one)... the producers/director/movie makers were busy trying to make various characters "suspicious".

The movie was so bad, I actually thought that there was the possibility that these clearly "suspicious" characters would probably be the actual killers. Everything else was being overkilled, that's for sure.

In the last 5 minutes, the movie redeemed itself slightly with a decent twist ending... Something that in a well-acted movie you might have guessed, but the rate everything else was going made you assume the ending would be equally obvious.

C+ rating at best.

Simulating a Snap!

Injuries + Peyton "Prettyboy" Manning + imperfect conditions = Colts loss.

The colts are a talented, strong team. But the San Diego defense wrecked Peyton tonight. Wow, if you didn't watch the game, I recommend you check out highlights on EPSN or NFL.com. Even so, i don't think anything can re-create the nail-biting excitement of this game.

Peyton's numbers were horrendous with five picks... ok, make that six (just happened in a hail mary but that's not really count)... and Vinatieri missed two field goal - including the game-winning field goal (only 25 yarder ish). Most clutch kicker of all time my-ass... no matter how indisputed by NFL analysts

Just when I thought the Colts had made their come-back, everything goes wrong for Indy.

Including a 'first down' being called back for a 'better placement' (i think that was a poor call personally) and a "simulating a snap" call. I actually looked up the rule for simulating a snap and it's really a 5-yard penalty if more than one player moves at the same time before the snap.

Home field advantage definitely helped San Diego, while Phillip Rivers did not. And I was underimpressed by LTD's performance. What happened dude?

Well that's the SNF update... WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS!

'Til MNF....

J-Lo Prego? No Ways!

I think she's making it up. She's totally lying to cover-up her weight gain.




What? You don't agree?

Priceless "Prep Talk" Peyton Campaign

One of the great intersections of my life is the football marketing programs. It brings my work and pleasure together. Of course I love what I do so the equation has pretty obvious results.

This week's commercial featuring a "pep talk" from Peyton drove consumers to priceless.com/preptalk.

Failures:
With no disrespect intended for the online marketers at Mastercard, if you're going to spend the money on the commercial, you could at least spend a little bit of budget for some search engine keywords on Google.

First I tried typing in the url and I got "page not found". So maybe it was priceless.com/peptalkS (plural) or maybe i just totally remembered the url incorrectly. Either way, I considered typing in a direct url my user-error.

So I moved onto the omniscient Google. I typed in "priceless prep talk" and what I was looking for did not come up. In fact, no advertising even came up for those keywords. I tried three more sets of keywords and still nada.

I had to resort to a generic "priceless mastercard" search and got priceless.com homepage.

Successes:
Well at least on the homepage I found exactly what I was looking for. From there my experience was great.

This customized (i got to type in my name to hear Peyton cover his mouth and say "Sarah") experience had cute clips of the charming QB giving me advice. Very well and smoothly done. No quirks. I sent to a friend easily. I had a great time. And if my name wasn't there, there were some awesome options like "Mr. Man" or "Babe".

Definitely recommend everyone attempt to find the campaign. But I won't make it easy for you. You should experience the mistakes of MasterCard yourself.

Can Someone Remind Miami & Buffalo That This is Football? Not Baseball.

3-2. That's the score that scrolled on the bottom of my screen on CBS. Three to two. I thought... why are they reporting baseball scores? Then after squinting, I realized it was the Miami-Buffalo score.

Although I've yet to see "highlights" from the game, I can't imagine it was very pretty.

Rams Go Marching In

What they say might actually be true... it could be harder to go 0-16 than 16-0... On one hand, who'd though the St. Louis Rams would go this far without winning... but I was really starting to think it was possible... But finally the streak is broken.

This early afternoon, the Rams beat the Saints.

Awww, how pathetic for the Saints to lose to a team like the Rams.

However, thank GOODNESS my mom did not listen to Stevers and I and pick the Saints over the Rams. She was right to consider the fact that St. Louis is coming off their rested bye week and the truth about Drew Brees.

How awesome would this season be if the two extreme records were broken. I'd love to see the Pat's go undefeated... and heck, who cares if the Dolphins go unchampioned. It's already an embarassing season and maybe we'd get some great coach rants Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?

Sorry all you fins fans. I mean no offense.

American Gangster ... They ARE who we Thought They Were

Last night stevers and I went to a late night rainy showing of American Gangster featuring Denzel and Mr. Crowe. We had debated for a while whether to see the Lions/Lambs Tom Cruise movie or the American Gangster. Ultimately our decision was made based on the times available for each and we saw the latter.



This morning i sit here with the voice of Denny Green running through my head 'THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE'... and the Coors Light Commercial isn't even on. But that's pretty much what I felt about the movie. I expected it to be a good movie (it was) and I expected the actors to play their roles as they did. The plot was to be expected and overall it was a good movie. I never cried, I never gaspes. I did grimmace a few times from the violence but ... I don't think you need to crown'em.

The Scoop on Scoop...

Okay, cheesey title. But Stevers and I just finished watching the Woody Allen movie featuring Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johassan.

Our conclusion? It was cute.

Although not normally a huge Woody Allen fan, I thought the script was fantastic. Some great lines and enjoyable dialogue. Definitely quotable.

Scarlett? Less than stunning red. I just couldn't buy it. As Stevers would say "I'm not buying what you're selling, Liang". Minus the Liang.

Predictable but worth adding to your netflix.

PS. Stevers would like to know if anyone else thinks that Scarlett Johassan looks EXACTLY like Christina Applegate. He can't tell them apart. What do you think?

Done, Done and... DONE!



...with my Digital Media Marketing Certificate. Final class is done. Final exam is handed in. Final Final is Finally done. Now once I "pass" the class officially, I have to harass NYU to send me my certificate. I fear they will tell me that for some technicality reason I haven't earned it. I will be furious. ROAR ANGRY HIPPO!!!!!!!!!!



They better hope they don't encounter the angry hippo sah. So hopefully I am truly done.

New NFL Website

I may not be a Forrester Research Analyst who is paid thousands of dollars to evaluate and rate websites, however, I am in the industry as well as a user/football fan and let me just say...

FANTASTIC WEBSITE.

I love it. Although nothing shocking or revolutionary, every best practice and great content with video clip highlights... Definitely a must visit. I love it.

Thought provoking, intense, great. Rent it from Netflix or check it out on IMDB for more info.

Chicago: Recipe for Disaster

Somewhere in my ingredients I went wrong...

• 3 hours of flight delays
• 1.5 hour cab ride (instead of 30 minutes)
• Dropped off in a dark alley (i was "assured" the hotel was down the block)
• Hotel Receiptionist at dinner when I arrived

After cooking overnight, switch ovens to the Hilton:

• Exotic dinner place + Picky eater + L'Oreal Coworker Pressure = YIKES
• High Air conditioning + lack of sleep = getting sick

Bake and send home. Good Golly, i'm even bored by my own posting.

Bills Give Cowboys Run For Their Money

hahaha, get it? Bills? Money?

Anyway, if you didn't see the game tonight you have missed one of the best games in the past year. Who didn't think the Cowboys would destroy the Bills? No one. Don't even try to pretend you thought Buffalo had a chance. I don't believe you.

The fact that Buffalo outplayed Dallas the entire game was shocking to begin with... and wtf Romo? WTF? 6 turn-overs? I mean, that's worse than the Jets.

So with less than 2 minutes left in the game Bills were up 24-16.... and after a few more turn-overs... the Cowboys some how ended up in the end-zone with a TD pass to Patrick Crayton... Now they need the 2 point conversion to tie it up (obvi)

Romo to TO... and the ball is STRIPPED from TO's hands in the end zone. Incredible defensive play... I thought heads were going to roll....

Now the cowboys have that unlikely shot to recover an on-side kick... and holy shizzle... THEY DO!

Romo to TO... it's called a catch.... Romo spikes... 1 second left on the clock.

BUT WAIT! hold the phone, they need to review the previous play (TO"s catch)... which is over-turned!

So attempt 2... 13 seconds on the clock... complete 2 short passes.... 2 seconds left on the clock.

LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN

TWO SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK.



53-yard field goal attempt... the kick is up... it's gooooood!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRT

No it's not. Bills called a time out before the kick.

What kicker can make that kick twice? hahaha, like no one... so can Nick Folk (who???) make the 52-yard attempt AGAIN?

Well whadd'ya know... that mo'fo makes that kick again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible and exciting game.

Phew, i'm emotionally exhausted.

And I still hate the cowboys. But thanks for the entertaining game.

PS. "Matriculate the coverage" makes absolutely no sense...

LL Cool J + Big Pun = Save Big Ass

The one moment during J-Lo's performance out strolls Big Pun... crowd screams... a few minutes later... Big Pun is rolling off the stage and you hear JLo say something about 'it's not ova yeeet" and suddenly the whole stadium is shaking...

LL Cool J has walked on the stage (how anyone identified him in the 2 seconds he appeared in the darkness is beyond me) and the 20,000 women (99% of the audience) are screaming beyond belief.

I have to say, there is something about LL that is just beyond words. Incredible power. Is it just the abs?

CAN J-LO DO IT ALL?

Brillant? quite possibly

Gorgeous? Absolutely.

Naturally talented dancer? No doubt

Singing power? ... well she's done a good job learning and she can hold her own now

Established Actress? sure

Business woman? tots

Generous and charismatic? from what I can tell, definitely

Prego? Without question.

Can she capture 20,000 marc anthony fans? ........... ummmmmmmm........ needs some work.... because that did not happen on October 7th.

It's a tough mission to captivate a stadium full of 20k of your husband's fans who are interested in spanish radio and songs and not necessarily going to scream and jump over songs like "if you had my love" and other pop-sensations like Jenny From the Block...

For her first concert it was well planned with 4 costume changes, fireworks, back-up dancers, moving walk-ways, tv-screens, and more. The best moment though was when JLo actually abandoned her microphone and traded it in for a "janet-jackson" mic and actually DANCED for the whole song.... that was amazing...

Unfortunately that only happened once for 3 minutes.

Regardless of her lackluster performance, I want to be her. Or Shakira. Or both.

What Does Marc Anthony and 20,000 People Have In Common?

I have no idea. I don't speak a lick of spanish. And last night at the at the JLo-Marc Anthony at MSG, I understood "Tuuuuuu eeeeessss" to mean "youuuuuu arrrrrrrre".

Marc opened and from the second someone thought he might be coming, the crowd was insane. The crowd sang every song, stood and danced the entire time, and if you didn't know better you'd think we were in Puerto Rico and that everyone had just won the lotto.

Rose thought he was hot. I still think he's got a bit of the 'mature' (old), 'greasy' (greasy) look to him.... and his songs sound to me generic (monotone) but obviously there must be something there for Jlo to pick him over Ben, Puffy and just about anyone she wants.

Gosh, I don't get it, but to 20,000 fans and one of the most powerful woman in the world - he's the best thing ever.

Will the Mets Blow it? How 'bout 'dem Red Sox?

Three teams in the race and only two will move onto the playoffs. I just listened to some dude on Sports Center and he's confused me more with his 12-billion scenarios. From what I gather... it's close. Someone just let me know who makes it.

The Reds Sox - Yankees race however I understand much better! Yankees are down two games with three to go. Well, either way they'll both make the playoffs so does it really matter who comes on top for the league?

Is it Sunday yet???

Around The World in 30 Days

Ok, it was just 15 days (straight). And it was across the US, not the world. But it was a LOT of presenting.

WEST
Denver was freakin awesome. I want to go back. Like next month. If only Denver was playing the Patriots I think I could convince Stevers. I had such a great time at Mile-High stadium. And the work event was awesome. Go Denver! Who knew?

WEST COAST
LA sucked. I never left the airport hotel. The view out my window was of the planes landing and taking off. The event attendees could care less about me, our video project, or my presentation. Whatever dude.

SOUTH
And in the middle was Atlanta. I think if I had the opportunity to see any of their touristy locations I might be more enthusiastic today about the city. Unfort the whole trip was all bizzle. I'd go back to see the largest aquarium in da WORLD. Beluga Whales? I'll be back.

Next stop? Chicago

Old Love, New Blog

It's time I translated my football newsletters to a blog, don't you think? less clog in your inbox. Not to mention I'm always into broadcasting my every thought and experience to the world...

• it started out with the AOL Profile & webpage
• My story expanded to the Sah-Story newsletters (emailed)
• Of course everyone always knew you could stalk me through my AIM profile & away messages
• Those not as close could find my every move on facebook or through the Holy Cross blog
• And you know you were 'in' when you received the frequent text message updates

With all this blog non-sense and application shizzle flying around, why not continue what I started since none of the above (with the exception of AOL profiles and webpages because, anyone's who's anyone knows AOL sucks) has ended!

If i'm not the most transparent, reachable person you know, I'm afraid to meet your other friend.
