So 2 nights ago, I lose my internet connection. No big deal, it happens from time to time. Cox Communications is shitty. And of course their customer service consists of 'OK take that thing with the flashing green lights on front, we call it the 'mo-dem'.  Now there's a black cord that plugs into the 'power outlet' in what we like to call your 'wall'.  Remove, or 'unplug' that cord. Wait 15 seconds. Now replace the 'plug' in the 'wall'.  Voila, internet! Wait, it's still not working? Let me transfer you.'

So I hear about these news choppers that crashed here in Phoenix.  After the required trip outside to see if any smoke could be seen from the parking lot (it can't), I decided to go online and see what's happening. I go to MSN, oh wow they have a video, let me check that out.  It was at that moment that I was reminded that I am a colossal dumbass. What was I thinking, actually being able to view a breaking news video.  How fucking worthless is that website. I mean seriously, I was getting 1 frame per 6 seconds.  If they can't support the traffic then why even put up a video?

So I've been playing All-Pro football, and I think it's alright. Maybe the reason I'm not so stoked up about it is because I never played 2K5.  Another reason for my ambivalence is the fact that, hey I realize I'm a shitty football video game player.  But when I have Johnny Unitas throwing to Jerry Rice, you would think somewhere in the course of an entire game, Rice could reel in a ball! Somewhere...a tip, a hail mary, something! But no, even by chance, a shitty player such as myself cannot make this combination work.
