  • No Prediction

    I just looked back over the last few months of blogging.  No prediction of the Jets winning the Superbowl this year.  This was the closest I got.  Staggering.  Look at last years prediction.  And the year before!   And another (last sentence, but mostly a funny story)! Seriously, look at that.  God NEVER told me the…

  • Jets Playoff Hopes – by Dan Lipka

    This is an spell checked prognosis from Dan Lipka. (It needed alot of corrections!) Ok, assuming that the Jets win out (they play Miami and Oakland), there this is what the situation is: There are four team with the same 8-6 record (Jets, Cincy, Jacksonville and Denver). The Jets don't have a tie-breaker against any…

  • Heart Breaker

    The Jets beat the Chicago bears, but lost the game.  They outplayed Chicago.  Two critical interceptions in the red zone took away the victory.  My heart sank.  I felt queasy. Stress.  Stress is all around us.  We are disappointed all the time.  It is important not to let this dominate our lives?  So what if…

  • Make or Break

    In many ways, I feel the theme.  Make or Break.  I am reading in my book on Lyndon Johnson how he stole the 1948 Senate election. (Stole, bought, whatever).  I feel professionally that theme in my head.  And of course, the Jets are about to meet their destiny in a stadium in New Jersey, Sunday…

  • Prognosticating

    Quicken just launched their new site.  I had nothing to do with it.  Sapient did pretty much all the work.  As an optimist, I wanted them to succeed, but looking at the site, I have trouble getting over some significant issues.  Task completion was definetely not a major part of the thought process.  The amount…

  • Electric Car!

  • Best Fight Scenes

    Best Fight Ever scenes from the movies: Leroy Green vs. ShoNuff (The Last Dragon) “Rowdy” Roddy Piper vs. The other guy (They Live) Patricia Arquette vs. Tony Soprano (True Romance) Rocky Balboa vs. Apollo Creed (Rocky – the one he lost) What’s on your list?

  • Jets Break My Heart

    The Jets played the dreaded New England Patriots (Hiss! Boo! Rubbish! Filth!) and, of course, lost.  But they didn’t just lose.  They first went down by a lot and then made a nice comeback near the end of the game.  Some great plays, but in the end, they fell short.  It seems that the Jets…

  • I am an idiot

    Cases in point: 1. I dropped Ethan off at school and lost Jared.  I started to panic and get frantic.  I went to the school office and they put out the APB.  He is quickly found.  Jared, where did you go?  He said, "I had to go poop!"  ugh. The other parents thought I was…

  • Lipka Luck

    Of course, the minute I say Storm Large is cool, she gets the old heave ho.  She got kicked off the island!  Her website is unavailable now.  Apparently, it got slammed after her dismissal. Oh well, she still had a few great songs.  Next week is the last show.  Who will win?  I think Toby…

  • Rockstar: Storm Large

    I have a guilty pleasure.  It is RockStar SuperNova.  I have to admit, I like it alot.  I didn’t want to like it.  Dave Navaro is retarded and the SuperNova guys (Gilby Clarke, Tommy Lee and Jason Newstead) but damn it, I really am hooked.  I liked Lukas at first, and then I liked Ryan…

  • Shaved Head

    I am thinking I should go Andre Agassi and shave my head.  Or maybe I should just use the buzzer with one spacer and have it super short.  Please vote.  Shaved head or not.
