Watching and Waiting

Huh? We've never had one like this before. Well, I'll tell you what I mean. In actuality, I'm watching tv and typing, so you'll have to excuse the typos. LMAO! I don't really need to see the keyboard anyway. I'm not a hunt and peck kinda girl. Bill's at the Chiefs' pre-game game tonight. It's on Fox right now, if you wanna see. It's front row a little to the right of one side of one of the goal posts. It's really the left, but if we see him, he'll be on our right on the tv. So, here I am watching a game with teams I don't care for. UGH! Well, that's only partially true. I like to give him shit about the Cheifs being a really bad team. My good cartoons aren't on until later anyway. Not that I expect the game to be over by 11. It's a 4 hour trip home for them too. Silly men, I told him to see about staying overnite at his cousin's so as not to be driving at 2 am. No sign of the guys in the stands yet. Not that I necessarily expect it. He's wearing a red shirt with a tiny embroidered cheifs logo in the center top, and a White chiefs hat, if anyone cares. Of course that probably describes about half the fans there. LOL!
There won't be any good cartoons on until Inuyasha tonight. They've been changing the time on me. It could be 10:30 or 11:30 or so. Samurai Champloo has been re-runs. No big deal. I still watch if I have nothing better to do. There was a new, I haven't seen anyway, W.I.T.C.H. on this morning, I really liked it. They won! From the ending, I'd say there's gonna be a season 2. Adult Swim has been showing a couple of interesting Saturday night cartoon previews. I can't wait for Wolf's Rain and Witchhunter Robin to come back on. They were awesome. I saw a new Shaman King this morning, it was awesome too. I miss it half the time it's on, so I don't really know what's going on in the show. I still like it.
LMAO! 'Unsportsmanlike Conduct, Taunting' MORON! Baby mistakes will not make the team. Oh well, that's what happens in pre-season games anyway. No idea which team it was for though. The other night, another team was playing and the announcers were saying there's discussions about having only 2 pre-season games. That would really suck, we have to wait a very long time for football to come back. That would be another 2 weeks! NOOOOOO Say it ain't soooo! ;) I need my football games damnit! Anyway, I heard Troy Aikman (sp?) say something like: you know I've always been a proponent for 2 games not for. Okay, this is where I have a problem, if you are under-educated please do not prove it to me. There is life after football, and kids need to know that. Advocate is the proper word. I've often wondered how some of these pro players managed to get through 4 years of college. I mean, come on, at the very least they should know words. Maybe I'll look up proponent to make sure, but I'm fairly sure it means 'a part of' rather than 'a person for/in favor of'. I've always been very good at spelling and knowing what most words mean. I read a lot and get the gist of words without a dictionary so I could be wrong but I doubt it. And...I'm not college educated. This is a problem. I mean, very few pro-players manage to get announcing and/or coaching jobs after being voluntarily/forcibly retired. As much money as they pay a lot of those guys, you'd think they'd make sure they know how to survive after pro-football. Careers are often short, and a college education is supposed to prepare you for life. I wonder whose shame is the worst for that. The pro-side, the colleges, or the players themselves. hmm. I mean they take them right out of college. Someone should be ashamed. A college education is supposed to mean something. You have to have basic english, science and math in order to take advanced classes in college. You have to pass a test to bypass those. That's just sad. After they entertain us, how many do we hear of? Very few. That's sad.
See ya'll later.
