Are you ready for some?

Football?! I am- I've been waiting for a long time. And our season opener against long-time rival Browns was everything we could have hoped for. Maybe not everything, but it showed a promising start. It was good to see the boys pull it together under Coach Tomlin, though I will miss seeing the Quivering Chin of Cowher- and the spittle that flies out of his mouth when he yells!!
It was also fun just to see the Browns lose. Living in an area that contains a proliferation of Browns and Steelers fans, we like to squash their team pride as early as possible. Not very challenging as they know how bad their team has been. But it is sweet that they're loyal fans; any true Steeler fan can tell you how bleak things can and have looked. That's why we're so obnoxious when all goes well!!

People

Lately, I have been very sick of people. I would like to say that only certain people have been irritating, and that's true to a degree, but unfortunately, it seems that the majority of my interaction has been w/those people.
Everyone wants something. For free. And they don't want to exert themselves at all to get it. And they all expect me to deliver.
And since when, if you want something from someone, are you a rude jackass while in pursuit of what you want? Oh- and since when is it that we "need" everything; people can no longer distinguish between things that are required for living and things that are desired.
Martyrs. You know who you are. You are the people who, when doing the job you're paid to do, you act as though you're going out of your way and being put upon by all. I have no use for martyrs in any sense of the meaning. And I will not feel for you.
I could worry about offending my adoring public with my obvious derision and scorn toward the majority of humankind...but it doesn't take a genius to know that the one (few) person who might be reading this is already quite aware of how I feel about people- and knows exactly who falls into what category.
Rock on.
