Officially starting this blog...

Okay, I'm just going to jump into this blog right now. I need a new outlet and LJ isn't cutting it. I'm at work right now and Thanksgiving is tomorrow and Friday...well Friday... is the most wonderful day of the year. BLACK FRIDAY! I will be camping out in front of walmart to get a $97.00 GPS from GARMIN. I know a lot of people don't understand this shopping insanity but it is actually calculated into my DNA. Plus, I have the worst sense of direction (unfortunately not calculated into my DNA) and so actually knowing where to go every time I get into the car will be nothing short of amazing. Once, I drove around Cincinnati for hours trying to find my way home and really Cincinnati is not that big... I'm just that... directionally challenged.

The second HUGE thing that happens this weekend is the UC/Syracuse game where WHEN we win the game, we will clench the BIG EAST TITLE AND AND AND ...an automatic bid into a BCS bowl for the first time in history. It's like having a tiny little orgasm to even think about it. Orange or Sugar? I don't know, I don't know but either is beautiful. Fucking Beautiful.

Let me explain to you what being there on Saturday was like. It was one of the best moments ever. I will look back on the game for the rest of my life and remember what it felt like to beat Pitt for the first time ever. I will remember how it felt to rush the field to 'Another one bites the dust' while seeing the players hoisting up the River City Rivalry Trophy in front of me. The stadium alive with people jumping up and down and crying and screaming. Best. Day. Ever.

I'm trying to push past the really sad part of me that notices basketball coming into play to remind me that football season is ending. Okay, I can get excited about basketball especially with UC's 4-0 start to the season, but can I just say that when football season ends - it's like a grieving period every year. It's sad and it doesn't seem like there's anything to look forward to for months. April is kind of exciting when we purchase our season tickets and we have that spring scrimmage game. But then we really wait until August. And this year we're losing 11 seniors on Defense. It's a dark unknown out there right now- I'm just trying to have faith.

I have the funniest guys in my section too at the games. Chris, Brian, Amish/who I lovingly refer to as AJ. They have made games this year really fun. I say UC fans are the best. Lauren and Chris are going with us Saturday and it's going to be fantastic. Two of my favorite things in one place: Lauren and Football. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Okay some I'm done lamenting about the season ending and I'll focus on the good things in life and how much turkey I can eat tomorrow.
