NFL, IU, and everything in between....

Ok, maybe not everything in between, but a lot. First, the NFL... What is going on with the Colts?!?!?! I understand that practice for them must be something out of a scene from "Grey's Anatomy" of "E.R.", injuries left and right, people almost getting hurt on a daily basis. But I thought deep in my heart, and I still do, that this team has a chance to repeat the 2006 feat and ride mannings arm, waynes hands, addais legs, and sanders tackles to the super bowl. But now, I mean Manning is still kind of on the mend, Wayne has been great but he still needs Harrison to regain his All-Pro form, we can't run the ball worth a damn, and our defense could tackle a pee wee team. All very disheartening, but it is still early. We still have a chance to turn things around, and the bye week should help a LOT.

Now, on to IU. Michigan is alright, the people drive like their cars are on fire, I'm still getting used to the smell of the lakes, and there are an ass load of bugs up here, but for the most part it's cool. BEAUTIFUL weather, scenery is awesome and the people are pleasant, as long as they are not in their cars. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss indiana, more specially IU, and even more specific than that Bloomington. I know it's a college town and when I'm 60 or 70 I would probably regret the decision, but I LOVE that town. The hills, the trees, the lake, the culture, it just all really appeals to me. I feel the same way about Indy and Chicago (the two cities I will more than likely end up living in), but Bloomington has that nostalgic feel to it. And of course, I'm a proud Indiana University graduate, so I've aquried a lot of memories in that place, both good and bad. I love it there, and I will always love. Whether or not I live there...

On another note, I'm trying to steer away from the political commentary for now. I get a little to worked up about everything that's going on, so it's probably for the best that I try and remain as level headed as possible. I'll save all of my thoughts and outburts until after the debates, lol. Speaking of which, I am pumped for the first one this friday. It's going to be a titantic battle, especially because it's in an area where Obama doesn't have great experience, foreign policy, but also an area where McCain hasn't shown great leadership or experience, so we'll not only wants it more, but who actually has some idea of what needs to be done.
