Reality

I hate it when people call The Ohio State Buckeye's overrated.  

Granted, we suck ass.  We suck so much, that we might not even win the Big Ten.  

We started the game real well.  Switching QBs seemed to work.  Then whenever Pryor had the ball, he just ran it.  USC figured that one out, as did the rest of the world.  

The media has hyped us up so much, it sickens me.  I admit, I loved it at first.  I loved that everyone hated us, because we were good.  I loved that everyone would rather be where we are, back to back appearances in the national championship game, albeit we lost both, we still got there.  I thought, we can't get any worse.  We have a ton of returning starters from last seasons team.  We must be good.  We have to be good. 

But no.  Not this year.  
Once again, we have choked.  I don't even know if the game is over.  I stopped watching after we punted it for the umpteenth time.  

Deep down, I knew we were going to lose this game.  The cards were not in our favor.  Beanie went down in week one, and I knew, this season was going to suck.  

Maybe that raise Ohio State gave to Coach Tressel was a mistake?  Don't get me wrong.  I love Jim Tressel, but we never seem to have a good game plan against quality opponents.  

I could purely be speaking out of frustration.  I don't know.  I don't know anything anymore.

I know that the media dicked us over, and we just got our asses kicked by USC.  

Beanie or no Beanie, we still would have lost this game.

At least I'm a better man...

What the heck?

So it's a Friday night, and I'm sitting at home watching TV.  
Life's been like this for the past 2 weeks.  

There have been quite a few hurricanes these days.  I guess it's hurricane season?

So like I said, I am watching TV, and earlier I was watching E!.  They had this "wildest commercials" special thing-a-ma-jig.  With comedic commentary much like, VH1's Fabulous Life of, except not funny.  

So they were setting up the next commercial, and it's clearly an asian commercial.  The narrator says something along the lines of, "check out this commercial with a Korean family."  The point is, "Korean family" was said, it doesn't really matter what was said before that.

I take their word for it.  Why?  Because it's E!.  I expect that they know what they are talking about, mainly because they have to make sure they don't say anything that isn't true on television.  

I was mistaken.  They air the commercial, and it's an asian family, playing some kind of board game on a roof.  There are two reasons why I know this family isn't Korean.  

1) Everything on the board game is in Chinese characters.  
2) They are speaking Chinese.  

Now that we cleared that up, the actual commercial was ridiculous.  I'm not even sure what the commercial is selling.  Yeah, there's a board game the family plays, but something tells me they aren't selling the board game.  Why?  Let me explain.

There are the parents and a son and daughter.  The son goes first, and he spins this arrow and it lands on some random character, and everyone starts laughing and then the dad takes the boy and spins him around a couple times, then he throws him off the building!

Then they keep playing, and the mom spins and seems a little disappointed, and the father and daughter are joyfully laughing, and the next thing you know, the daughter is lighting the mom's clothes on fire, and then the mom jumps off the roof...

Then the dad goes, and he has a similar reaction to the mother, and then you see the dad standing on the edge of the roof, and then get this, the daughter sticks a firecracker up the dad's ass and lights it.  It blows up and he flies off the roof.  The daughter wins??

Ridiculous.  

This post was pointless.
