I think I'd like to express an opinion along with most of the sports loving world... Fuck you ESPN Insider. Everyday, more and more of ESPN's website becomes an exclusive to the three people out there who just might subscribe to it. Some of us just swing by ESPN to get that little bit news without the 6 popups, getting the magazine and having to subscribe to something. Ah well, cnnsi.com is close at hand too.

Right then. So anyone reading this really has no idea who I am. But according to the title, my name is Nick.
So yeah, that should be all you need to know, if life was based entirely upon nametags and those asinine greatings of "how are you doing?" when you know full well that any response would just screw up someone immensely. Has anyone else ever though about doing that? When someone, in just passing, says "how are you doing?" do you want to follow them around for the next 30 minutes and explain exactly, with personal and disturbing information, just to freak them out? No matter what happens, at the end, you can go, "and how are you doing?"
Given, at that point, the person will most likely never talk to you again, and in fact will probably stare at the floor and whistle as they walk by. Which leads us to our next point... putting something right at eye level for people to walk in to.
I need more free time, or I need to win the lotto. I could use a hundred million dollars. You know, just to make ends meet. And to bid on the number 867-5309. Then hire a Tommy-Two-Tone cover band to regal me with the song everytime I make a phone call. That and enough computers to build my own fort. Cause everyone needs a good fort at sometime in their life. I used to make them out of couch cushions and pillows. Then eventually, my mom got sick of me doing that and got me a GI Joe tent made of plastic poles and nylon sides. It was fun, but ripped to easily.
On that note...
