Obligatory Post-Oscar Blog Post
Yes, it’s over, the 77th Annual Academy Awards (hosted by the unjustly labeled controversial, Chris Rock) has come to an end, so let me do what about 100,000 other, more prominent bloggers are scrambling to do. It’s time to wrap up what exactly took place at the Oscar’s. The weird part of this is, I just watched it, and I don’t even remember who won what. I won’t bore you, the only awards that matter and the winners are…
Self-Portraits
Well, I was messing around with configurations for my camera and after being prodded by Tina a buddy of mine on IRC, I snapped a couple obligatory self-portraits of myself. Sorry for this crappy post, expect some unique content in the coming weeks.

Wrap-up
Ok, the commercials utterly sucked. They sucked goat and cow titty simultaneously, and with conviction. There isn’t one that really stands out to me, and I blame the conservative FCC and the pressure of influence they put on companies and ad agencies to create family friendly, painfully anti-septic, sepia tone, mother fucking commercials. That’s all.
Now, to the game. The Eagles have lost. As a lifetime Philadelphian, I am used to it, but it still hurts, kind of. See, you have to be a Philadelphian to understand how and why this game hurts. Being only 23 years old, this is my first cognatively aware championship game, for any sport. The last time the Philadelphia Eagles were in this position, was in 1983, and I was only 2 years old. So you see, this game had immense significance to me.
I will not sugarcoat this. The Eagles choked, actually, Donovan McNabb choked. He looked as if he had not prepared for this game at all. Any Philadelphia Eagles fan could tell you exactly what the Eagles needed to do this game to win. Why have the coaches been unable to translate that message to their players, I do not know. #36, Brian Westbrook needed more touches, and not those piss-poor running drives up the middle, but more screen passes and jaunts down the sidelines.
Back to Donovan McNabb, he threw more interceptions in this game than I think he has thrown all season. I exclaim, WHAT THE FUCK!? That’s all I have to say about Donovan, he sucked, nothing more nothingless. A master of the world renoun, CHOKE MOVE.
So, here I go another 24 years to expect a Superbowl run. I hope I have it in me.
Please excuse my hasty posting. I know the game hasn’t been over a whole 5 minutes yet and I’ve already posted my feelings about it. I garauntee I’ll have more to say as my thoughts settle.
