Lil' Wayne & THE SAINTS !

Today is Monday February Eighth Two Thousand Ten, the day Lil' Wayne goes to the pokey for a year. They say he will serve between eight and ten months in the clink and I bet he is out within six months. There are some interesting things going on with this story the biggest is that LW seems to be excited to be imprisoned. Like it is a right of passage or something for thugs and I think thats a pretty sad thing. Here is a guy who not only is worth millions but he is actually a good artist. He never stops working and puts everything he has into his music. He appears to have gotten over his addiction to cough syrup and is releasing more and more material with each passing month. His label doesn't want the well to dry up so they tried to tell him not to release so much at once but he did it anyway. The second interesting thing is that he is going to jail at all. Granted they bagged him with a loaded ten millimeter in NYC but I am surprised that will all his cash and connections that he couldn't get out of it somehow. Perhaps he has priors but he has been making "cash money" since he was twelve and after all he coined the term "bling-bling". That has to count for something to someone.

So the New Orleans Saints are not the aints no more. They had an impressive victory over the Colts and it was the most enjoyable non patriot game in recent history. They began the second half with an onside kick which they recovered and then intercepted Manning late in the fourth. That pretty much sealed the game and it was awesome to see the "mad-peyton" face that pats fans know and love so much. The Colts have such talent but they just don't seem to be able to make the big plays when they count. I am glad that people can stop talking about the Brady/Manning comparison because the Tomster has three championships to Peyton's one. Thats all there should be for discussion because in pro sports winning is everything when comparing careers. I hate to be an asshole but I am getting really tired hearing about how much New Orleans has struggled in the past five years since the hurricane. Seems to me that NOLA has struggled for most of modern history and Katrina was just an extra kick in the nuts. Not a popular opinion I am sure and it really sucks what happened but it is time to move forward and not dwell on the past.

Had a good time hanging out with Court. It amazes me that we only went to college together for one year and we will be life long friends. Its like there is a reality check when we talk and it was like we had just seen each other yesterday. We do keep in touch over email and talk once and awhile but it was great to actually hang out. He has made a cool life for himself and I am very happy for him. Sure taking pics of weddings and in the col can totally suck sometimes but then he gets to go all over the world and up in various forms of aircraft as well. It was good to tell him my deal and how my recovery was going because he was the only friend left I hadn't had that discussion with yet. He took it well because he is a friend and was supportive of my recovery.

In other news I found out the xx chromo I have a crush on is single and plans to be so for awhile. I am not expecting to be her man but its nice to know that its at least possible even if its in some small way. Now I just have to make sure not to act like a jackass around her and I will be ok. I am not chomping at the bit to have a relationship and I need to remember to take it slow. Who knows what will happen in the end and right now I am just babbling to babble.

Woo, woo SAINTS !
