SEARCHING...

Honestly, what is the point to life? Why are we here?

Please post your thoughts, ideas, motivations, etc. Looking forward to reading what you may have to say. I think I am mostly looking for the motivational reasoning, the type of thinking that puts a different spin on life. Sometimes it can seem a bit boring or monotonous (this coming from someone who is out of school and into the work force).

So again, encouragement is requested, and humor is welcomed, but keep in mind this is a serious question.

3 REASONS CAROLINA WILL DEFEAT CHICAGO THIS WEEKEND

1. Chicago may have a strong defense, but it is no match for Carolina's offense.

Newsflash genious (note the spelling there...ohhh the irony) -  Chicago is in the same division and has played twice against the following teams:

a. Detroit Lions

b. Green Bay Packers

c. Minnesota Vikings

Let me ask you a question: (Judging from this past regular season) Do any of the three above-listed teams have any skill at the quarterback position? If so, statistically speaking, name a QB that tested Chicago's defense...

Delhomme will torch this team. Look for him to have 250+ yards passing and 2 TDs this weekend, as he and Steve Smith show the nation that Chicago's D is overrated.

2. Team standings do not fully reflect team skill.

Each of Carolina's regular season losses have been by 10 points or less. With this in mind, their record of 11-5 may be a little misleading. Now, winning 11 N.F.L. games is surely impressive, but Carolina could actually be 14-2 or 15-1 had it not been for some tiny (but incredibly important) mistake or failed must needed offensive conversion or defensive stand in a game or two. I mean, who's to say that a game-ending interception here or a missed field goal there by the Panthers could have been the difference between 11 wins or 12 wins (or 13 or 14 or 15 or 16) in 2005?

3. 45/45 vs. 41/28

45 is not only the number of sacks that the Carolina defense was credited with in 2005, but also the number of TDs their offense scored.

Chicago's D had an excellent season as well, recording 41 sacks. While it is noted that a game is not won by sacking the opposing team's quarterback more times than your opponent sacks your quarterback, it should also be noted that putting constant pressure on the other team's QB will, more often than not, throw off any teams rhythm...thus creating more opportunities for failure. The 27 next to the 41 is the number of scores the Bears have totaled in '05. Ummm, isn't that just a hair more than half of 45???

Annette - call me.

Sara - Work things out with the roomies.

You hoes have been served.

Thank you, come again...

Como estan, beetches! Okay, so I have been tagged by Annette so here are 5 "weird" habits of myself:

1. I have an enormous complex about eating food in front of other people. I can't do it no matter how hard I try. Now, it doesn't bother me if I am surounded by others who are eating too (like out in public at McD's or at a family dinner); I am only freaked out if I am the only person eating. No, this is not brought upon by an eating disorder, but by the obesity of P's mother...

2. I tend to bite the the skin near my fingernails until it bleeds - don't ask...just a stupid habit of mine. I have scar tissue on each and every finger...

3. It typically takes me 3-7 days to finish my laundry (approx. 2-3 loads). This is mainly for two reasons:

a. I am lazy

b. I am pretty busy when I am not lazy, so I use the excuse that "I don't have time" when in fact the actual true reason can be found in part 3.a.

4. Sometimes I stick my finger in my ear to check for any massive build-up of earwax because I can get pretty focused on hygiene. No one wants to be the-guy-with-the-over-abundance-of-earwax. It's quite gross..."that guy" doesn't have any friends, sits at home playing video games and grumbling about the bad chicken sandwich he eat for lunch the day before. Don't be "that guy."

5. 99.99% of the time I sleep on my belly with the covers up to my head at night because I can only fall asleep if I am hot, meaning that most or all of my body must be covered if I want to be able to catch some ZZZZZZ. There is NO other way.

Ok, so now who to tag:

1. The Fos   2. Sara   3. Dubbs (aka "The Man, The Myth, The Mystical Mackdaddy")   4. Master P   5. Step-Off
