Hey y'all, The party at Josh's house went well, we couldn't play airsoft because it was raining the whole time, but we played football instead, so that was fun. My team would have won, but we decided that since we were going to go in after the other team had their 4th down and we wanted to play longer, we would let them get a touchdown to tie, and prolong the game. Of course nobody believes us, why would they? They think that Josh scored a 40 yard touchdown of his own accord, but if they want to think that, who am I to stop 'em? ;-) But seriously, I had a lot of fun during the football game, afterward enjoying root beer and clam chowder, and playing as Japan in Axis & Allies. Happy Birthday Josh! (even though it was 32 days ago ;-D )

Hey y'all, The Giants have won! And I must say, Super bowl XLII was one of the best football games I have ever seen in my LIFE! It all came down to a touchdown pass from Eli Manning with 2 minutes left in the game, VERY exciting, VERY fun to watch! If you missed it, you missed one of the greatest games in NFL history. Actually, I thought that history would be made only if the patriots won, true, if they had they would have been the first team in history to win 19 games in a season (some people think they would be the first to have a perfect season, but in 1972, the Miami Dolphins won the super bowl for a perfect 17 win season, but that was back when there was only 17 games per season including the playoffs) but, The Giants made history by being the second wild-card team to win the super bowl, and the 5th-back team to win the SB. Not quite as impressive, but still it's cool. Dad and I rooted for New York from the beginning (It’s true! I know I was leaning toward the Patriots, but my dad convinced me otherwise). The MVP was, (surprise!) Eli Manning, But he definitely deserved it, he only got sacked 4 times, compared to Tom Brady's 10! Its true NE got some great plays but NY just hung in there, and it paid off. Final score: Giants 14, Patriots 10. Like I said, if you missed that game, you totally missed out.

Hey y'all, I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the Super Bowl! I just got back from making a day-before-the-game snack run; we went out and bought some chips and salsa, that sort of thing. The thing that bugs me about the Super Bowl, is that it's always on a Sunday. If they put it on a Saturday, #1 more people would watch it (see reason #2) and #2 it wouldn't interfere with Church. But seriously, I have a major problem, I don't know which team to root for, if you want to see all my pros and cons of rooting for each team, see Highlight #19.

I found this cartoon in a weekly Christian newspaper I get called Top Story, published by God's world news here it is:

Well, Mom has a list of stuff for me to do, so I guess I should get going, I'll talk to ya' tomorrow! (Super bowl Sunday!)

Hey y'all, I hope you've taken a look at all my new JavaScript and HTML code stuff, I found all of the fancifications (if that's a word) on Dynamic Drive.com and JavaScript Kit.com. they're great sites if you want to add flair and pizazz to you blog or site, I love 'em both.

I don't know if you watched the football game today (NY Giants vs. GB packers), I heard that NY won it in overtime but now they have to play the NE Patriots two weeks from now in the super bowl, Now if the SB is going to be anything like the Giants-Patriots game at the end of the regular season, the Giants are going to get CREAMED! the Patriots have a very good team and they're patient. They're OK with waiting till their opponent gets tired out, then they turn on the "charm" and slaughter the other team. If I was to bet on this game, I would put an awful lot on New England. I can't wait for the big game, I really don't have favorite team between the two opponents; It would be cool to see a team break a major record by being the first team to win an entire 16 game season and win the super bowl, but At the same time I want to see the Giants take revenge on the Patriots for their defeat a few weeks back. So I guess I'll root for whoever wins the game (heh heh...).
Well, I guess I should stop talking your head off, I love talking about Football. See (um...see?) you later!

P.S. Josh came to church today, he says he has somewhat constant pain, but the antibiotics he's on take care of most of it. He'll be back to his normal self in a couple weeks but until then he has to take it easy. I hope he gets better soon.

Hey ya'll, just finished watching the Seahawks game, Hawks: 35 Redskins: 14. the hawks owned the 1st quarter and pushed the score up to 13-0 but in the 2nd and 3rd quarter, the skins got two touchdowns for 13-14. then in the 4th quarter, Seattle scored a touchdown/conversion for a score of 21-14. they then scored two more touchdowns, one on an interception, for the final score of 35-14. very good game, fun to watch, the 12th man was definitely annoying the redskins. Oh yeah, got an email from Sam, there's an airsoft battle scheduled for next Saturday the 12th at the Young's, probably the same group as last time, I can't wait!
