First off, sympathy to the wrestling fans on my friendslist over Eddie Guerrero's death. I've been there; I still vividly remember when Kevin Smith died (no, not that one, the other one). It sucks a lot harder than you'd think it would.

On a lighter note, today I visited peaseblossom03 and twistor to watch the Pats game with them. They both know stuff about football, and I don't, so it was part visit part tutorial. At one point, twistor and I got into a lengthy argument discussion about the validity of the Win statistic as a measure of a pitcher's worth. My position: It's a load of crap. His argument: Is not! Funny, I thought mathematicians were supposed to be smart and stuff. ;)

My favorite part, though, was how I found the updates at the bottom of the screen on the Lions game more exciting than the actual game I was watching. I can't even blame my friends this time, man, I have way more Pats fans than Lions fans on my friendslist. Maybe I lived in Detroit in a past life? Maybe I'm already oversaturated with the Patriots? Or maybe I found it easier to understand the minimal information in the little black score bar than I did the many many things happening on the rest of the screen? That's probably it. I did enjoy the little recap about Joey Harrington playing the hell out of that game, though. Go Lions?

*gasps* I never a) knew Ares name b) knew he died. Also, yeah, I thought it was the other one. Wow, my sympathies...? I don't know what one would say since he's been gone for a while. Though, I'm sure it doesn't feel like all that long.

LOL football confuses the hell out of me too and my girlfriend loves it, LMAO.

Actually, the way I found out, about a week after the fact, was an announcement on the other Kevin's website clarifying the matter. It hit me so hard, dude, I never understood before why people get so upset when celebrities die - not like it's someone you know - but I really grieved. Went through the five stages and everything. It sucked. It has been over three and a half years, so I've accepted it and all, but it was bad when it happened, so I understand how you must feel right now.

Dude! I'm finally alive again! So this LJ makeover...not too thrilled with it to be honest, but you can understand where I'm coming from there. Regardless of fan allegiance, though, I find the white on grey text a bit difficult to read. I must be getting old and developing cataracts. Anyway, a larger font would help, if you can figure out how to manage that.

Hang in there with the Pats. They're struggling this season and need all the support they can get. That was a great come-from-behind win that I am jealous you got to watch. We had the suck-ass Jaguars game down here. Honestly it was so boring I can't even remember who they beat.
