Journal Journal: 4-1 is better than 1-5 1

But props to the Rams and thier fans.
I was at the game in St. Louis yesterday and had a blast tailgating and at the game (at least till the second quarter)
Possibly the loudest crowd I've ever been in.

Journal Journal: Vasectomy 3

Not funny.
I believe they are punishment for daring to have 4 kids.
this all falls under TMI but...
At least I've followed all the advice from the doctor so I haven't had any swelling or infection.
The punishment part is not the pain which just feels like a pulled groin, but in the boredom.
No lifting, no yardwork, no nothing but sitting on my ass for the past 3 days. That and they shave you before the proceedure so you have to deal with hair growing back in sensitive areas.
it sucks.
waaa!

Gangly, vacant-looking young actor who has proven himself a skilled screen performer in a surprising variety of roles, from Marlon James in the 1990 docu-drama I Love You to Death, to the enigmatic Ortiz the Dog Boy in the 1993 classic Freaked!

Openly Gay, Reeves never recovered professionally after the 1993 death of life partner River Phoenix

Journal Journal: Go Raiders!!! 3

Football season is finally underway.
Big win for the Silver & Black against former division rivals. Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch the game because It wasn't being broadcast here in Illinois. I don't have Sunday Ticket because it would be a waste of money since I work nights and need to sleep during the day. I suppose I could tape it, but I hate watching taped games unless they are old classics.
Anyway Here's hoping all your favorite teams did well Unless they are in the AFC west or the RAMS. I had a tough time with the Denver/StLouis game. I hate the Bronco's, thier fans and all who look like them. The same goes for the Rams and their front running wannabe selves.
Fortunately I was able to watch what may have been the last Sampras/Agassi match. It could have been a little better but everyone has a bad day. Pete was on top of his game today, Agassi was a little slow. It will be a while before Men's tennis gets anyone worth watching like those two.
