Random Shiite

So the life of n8 has been a hectic one as of late. Last weekend my former roommate Todd got married. Since I am great friends with him and his wife they asked me if I could housesit for them while they are on their honeymoon in Cancun. I told them that they should just send me to Cancun that way they wouldn't need a house-sitter. They didn't buy it. So I've been staying at their place which is kinda cool since I used to live here. I've had some time to chat with the neighbors who are the same ones since I've moved out.
Anyways, the reason they needed somebody to housesit was because of their cat and their two dogs. They have two pitbulls who are the sweetest dogs in the world. Well as long as they know you. As sweet as these two may be the don't really listen to me that well. It has been a very hectic week trying to control two dogs and their meals and bathroom breaks. There were a couple of accidents but nothing uncle n8 couldn't fix.
Until Wednesday. I got sick Wednesday. And I have no idea what the hell it is. It is now Saturday and somewhat lingering around but I am over the worst part of it. I have had the worst abdominal pain and a fever. And no I did not eat any bad spinach. So I didn't go to work on Thursday and instead spent the day in and out of conciousness while trying to control two dogs that were super excited because I was home. Better times have not been had (that was sarcasm Gus).
Also my buddy TJ (from the CCWA champion Suckerpunch Pirates) came back into town for big Sully's wedding. Since I've been house-sitting I haven't seen him much. It's looking like I will be making a trip to Sin City here in the near future to visit him and my sister.
And since I was camping on Labor Day, I didn't change the lineup for my fantasy baseball team. And it just so happened to be week one of the playoffs. With two of my pitchers on the DL (shit!) I was pretty much screwed. So I lost my playoff game and am now playing for the 5th spot in the league (out of 6 teams). My opponent is Crackerass-Cracker, which just so happens to be Erik's team. So us here at NOSE are gonna finish in the last two spots of the league. Awesome!
Well I need to sign off of here. I've got tons of chores to do today, including changing my oil, washing my car (inside & out; it's fucking filthy), going to the bank and making my car payment and all kinds of other good stuff. So I've got that going for me...

Branch in Seattle

Sorry, no posts for 4 days, cause as you can see in the prior post, its work, work, work for all of us. Todd has disappeared thanks to his new job, and Nate and I are throwing down 9-10 hour days every day, with not much time for relaxing or blogging.

But something that has to be mentioned, is the return of the Seahawks to the Super Bowl. Can I get a HELL YEAH!? (except for you Emily, your Steelers got their ring and now they are done...or are they?) Deion Branch is coming to Seattle and even though our offensive line is missing Hutch, I still think we are poised to get back into the playoffs, and dare I say it, even the superbowl. And there is no fucking way we could get screwed by the refs twice in a row, so we should have a legitimate chance. The reason? Quality players like Hasslebeck, Alexander, Strong, Jackson, Trufant (GO COUGS) and now Branch.

(from the daily news article): This is a man who, on the morning of Super Bowl XXXIX, got on the phone and called all his former coaches, from youth teams through college, to thank them for helping him reach this point. Then he went out and won the game's MVP award."I never forget the people who were there before I became the Deion Branch you see now," he said Tuesday, attired in a sharp suit and wearing a $39 million smile.

I can't wait for him to get set in our offense. We are gonna beat the shit out of Arizona this week.
