I got nothing.

There are times when you feel like you should do something that's not really important. You don't want to let down the faithful billions who count on you for next to nothing. Sorry people, I got nothing to post. Just thought I would confirm my continued existence on this earth. It's 10:30 -- I'm too tired to think. Sleep is no longer a crutch. It's a prosthesis.

My twisted gridiron...

Things have been strange in this magical mitten ever since Michigan lost (to Notre Dame of all teams) and the Lions won in the same weekend. That has to be more rare than a blue moon. I, for one, haven't been the same since. But hey, after a couple days off work, some expired Ibuprofin, and an over-the-phone prescription (getting drugs is easier than i thought?), I'm back in the game for now. Unless I have mononucleosis - which is possible. But my spleen feels ok so I'm hoping for the best.

Through all of this, I have learned something. If you are on Jeopardy and you beep in accidentally and you don't know the answer, just guess "Lake Titicaca." Oh, and go for the 64,000- even if you are out of life-lines. But the survey says that only 4 people out of 100 actually watch the gameshow network's re-runs anyway, so some kind of loss is inevitable.

Go Lions.

Freedom.

The day of labor brings a lack thereof. Why is that? We don't burn flags on Flag Day. We don't boycott gratitude on Thanksgiving. We don't cut down trees on Arbor Day. We don't even celebrate our hatred for love on Valentines Day. Ok, so that's not totally true for everyone. Lest you think I am crazy, I am far from complaining. Labor Day is a great holiday. The working man needs a day to sit back and say "Yeah, I'm pretty sweet."

Labor Day is the third indication of summer's end (1 - End of July, 2 - Start of school), even though there is officially 2-3 weeks of summer left. By the time the Autumnal Equinox actually rolls around, nobody even cares anymore because they already feel like summer ended a bunch of times. I don't know. I guess I feel like I never even had a summer. The increase in heat just made work more miserable anyway.

Cooler air and earthtones. No more white shoes, ladies. It's finally arrived.

I find freedom in this much needed 3-day weekend.
