A Football type of post

I must have been bored yesterday, or maybe just lethargic...but I did something I've never done before...I watched the NFL Draft...but I couldn't handle the whole thing. I made it about as far as the Rams pick at #13 (on the odd chance that after Miami passed on BQ that we might get him, or even get him to trade, but I'm glad we didn't, instead a solid DE for that Hazlett defence). It was pretty standard pedestrian fare until the 9th pick when Brady Quinn looked like he was about to get up out of his seat only to have to sit his ass back down...oh snap.
Kudos to Commissioner Roger Goodell, who had the decency to let the boy escape the media scrutiny when he was on the verge of tears or at least some sort of tirade.
Not that exciting, and then the coverage turned to why he wasn't taken, what his weaknesses were, funny how right up until that #9 pick they were falling all over themselves about his awesomeness...sure shows how 2-faced sports announcers can be, trying to get off a bandwagon.
In draft related news, congrats Mr. Johns, I'm sure you're not too upset about landing Adrian Peterson...
Its been a great offseason for the Rams, with additions such as: Drew Bennett, Randy McMichael, Dante Hall, wow. Yes I know we lost Kevin Curtis and Shaun MacDonald, both good WRs, but small fast guys, and I think we did need some bigger tougher receivers, and in Hall, the return man who we've always been needing for years.
I also like some additions on the D and the NFL West should be renamed the Wild West...I could see anyone other than Arizona winning the division.
So thats it, just a quick update on the football related world.
Steve, I'd be interested to hear your take on the Vikes offseason moves...

Facebook...the new Crack?

I just had to get this out of my system...in the last 3-4 months, I'd say virtually 3/4 of the people I know have been like "Dude, you HAVE to join facebook, its soo cool. You can see and reconnect with people from high school and other stuff" Well first of all, the only people from High School that I want to be still connected to, I am, by a marvelous technological invention called the telephone. There's another amazing one called "Electronic Mail" or "email" for short. And if that isn't enough, then there's this amazing invention called Instant Messaging, or IM, which can be done on a program such as MSN Messenger.
Wow. So explain to me why I should get onto something, yet another "new rage" for keeping touch with people, especially when I barely hear from the people on my MSN, who are either always online and "away" or "busy"? I remember ICQ, that came and went, no big loss, MSN, not all the rage it once was...but still, the people I really want to be in contact with, I do this weird thing called "phoning them" or god forbid, "Visit or socialize with them in person". I'm sorry but I am on the computer all day for work as it is, the last thing I want to do is go home again and check up on the computer again. Yes I may have a blog but those of you who read it realise I'm obviously not on here that much or i'd write so much more...
There's far more out there than the internet people, are we controlling our lives, or are we controlled by the technological things in our lives?
I may sound like a dinosaur on this one, but tough shit.
So thats why you won't be seeing me on facebook anytime soon...and if you do, its because I had a full frontal lobotomy. Or some chick said it would be cool.
