Today I really don't have anything to write about other than a bunch of things that have crossed my mind in the past five hours. Now I know what you are thinking... "Greg was actually up before 11am?" The answer is yes people. Sometimes I do wake up early enough that my body actually WANTS bacon and eggs. But anyways... enjoy these nuggets of joy!

I swear God just does things to me to have a good laugh... especially when I am driving. Here are a couple things that happen to me literally daily that make me soooooo mad when I m driving.

1. Every time I go around a sharp bend, there will ALWAYS be someone coming on the other side. 

2. Every time I am in a hurry, it is a scientific fact I will hit every single red light possible.

3. Every time I am NOT in a hurry I hit every single green light.

4. Every time it snows I will always get stuck behind a blockade of cars in both lanes.

5. The driver in front of me will not use his turn signal 85% of the time, every time.

Having absolutely nothing to do with any of what I just said, I have developed quite the pet peeve. You see, I listen to a lot of sports talk radio during my day. When I hear a caller talking about absolute nonsense I cringe as I have to be dealt with the shame that people in my area actually talk like that. Witness exhibit A...

Embarrassing. Not only that, why do all Pittsburgh people refer to the Pittsburgh teams as "we" when they are talking about them. They will say something like this... "Yeah, yinz guys think dat bum Isaac Redman should play dis week? "We" don't need any dem stinkin' turnowvers n'at." This is what I would say to him if I were on the radio. You know, if my degree actually mattered and I had a job in what I was trained for... "Thanks for the call sir, but I didn't realize you played for the Steelers. What position do you play? What number do you wear? Usually the word "we" is used for things that you are involved in. Say, for example, if I asked you where you and your buddies were right now. You would most likely respond... My buddies and I? WE are at the bar drowning our sorrows in our awful vocabulary." Oh Pittsburgh... How I love you yet how I loathe you. Actually, I can't lie. I think I used to do the same thing. If you know me, you know I love the Chicago Bulls. When the team was terrible back in the early 2000's, I used to wonder why every single year they would draft another guard. I would say, while watching the draft, "why the hell did "we" just pick Ben Gordon?" Well, just to back up why I did that, here is the 2005 Chicago Bulls roster.

At forward, number 5... GREG JACKSON! See I had an excuse.
