11-4

wow. it is monday morning and i have a sports headache this big. you might think that it is only attributable to the steelers pitiful performance yesterday in tennessee. and that was certainly part of it, but i need to give credit where credit is due. so, in no particular order:

-thanks to dwayne bowe for scoring me all of 2.8 points, and to both ronny brown and leon washington for crapping on my team as well. oh, and let's not leave out phillip rivers the quarterback for the team i was playing. after my quarterback, peyton manning threw up 32.66 points for me, i thought i was golden. but that was until rivers decided to go ahead and go off with 35.18 points. thanks, phil. that was the championship game. and unless greg jennings scores 40 points in tonight's game, i'm done. a buffalo bills-type loss. thanks, guys.

-thanks to the steelers defense, who looked tired and lazy and out-willed by the titans, and who ruined my sunday afternoon. thanks, guys.

-hey wait, there's some good news, too. i wasn't only in the superbowl in my one fantasy league, but i was in the superbowl in both of my fantasy leagues.

-which leads me to my next round of thank you's. a huge thanks goes to kurt warner (1 freaking fantasy point!) and the tampa bay defense (NEGATIVE THREE POINTS!) for your big time contributions to my double decker embarassment of a fantasy football equivalent of marv levy and the bills.

-so, just to be clear, i was in the superbowl in both of my fantasy leagues, which is pretty cool in and of itself. but i lost both of those games. congratulatory cigars all around, boys.

-finally, i want to thank keith bullock and lendale white from the titans, who went ahead and did this:



as a huge steelers fan, i want to thank you guys for your class in stomping all over the flag of steeler nation. that was beautiful. not only did you look like poor winners, but in that one act caught on national tv, you signed a deathwish come playoff time. better start praying now that you don't get a rematch. next time the steelers defense won't be so willing. and the ghost of myron cope can't be too happy about this eithier. double yoi!

oh, and one more thing....stay classy, guys.

now the steelers have just one more meaningless regular season game to go and then the playoffs. hopefully reality is better than fantasy. and hopefully i can get rid of this headache soon (and greg jennings catches 6 touchdown passes tonight).

gotta go get some advil now.

just as he was about to do the unimaginable to the terrible towell...i flipped the channel as quickly as possible because I couldn't stand to even see such disrespect. they better have to pay for that because if that makes ME angry...watch out for the painted faced, beer guzzling, tobacco spitting, steel working, myron worshipping, steeler fans....so basically watch out for you greg :) hehe.

hope your headache is gone. now quit whining. at least you're in the playoffs. how big do you think my headache is after another season as a loyal brownie fan? oh well. i've been saying there's always next season since the third week. peace, julid

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day. 

affirmed

i cannot express today the feeling i have. this picture that i found sort of expresses it but not really. for the last ten years i have poured myself into this vocation, daring to believe that God, the very God of all creation, has called me, even me, to this work. along the way many have affirmed me in this journey, but i have continued to work for the ultimate affirmation, ordination as an elder in the united methodist church. and now i have it. after two grueling (and i mean grueling in every possible sense, really) days i recieved the call today that the board voted to recommend me to the annual conference for ordination as an elder. and as i have already said, i cannot even begin to express the emotion i feel with words like relief, joy and satisfaction. there will be plenty of time for me to reflect on this and i will have more to say about it as i do that reflecting, but today is really a day for celebrating for me, and for thanking those who have journeyed with me and s...
