So today I started throwing some old CDs onto my iPod before I make the move to Az. I was surprised when I found these CDs in my room that several of them weren't already on my iTunes, but thank God they are now. Check some of these names out:
Green Day - Warning
New Found Glory - From the Screen to Your Stereo
The Movielife - This Time Next Year
Jewel - Pieces of You <---yea, I can't believe I put this on my computer...
Freeway - Philidelphia Freeway
Bad Religion - No Control
Korn - Life is Peachy
Boys II Men - The Remix Collection <---one of the first CDs I ever owned, but I can't recall EVER listening to it
Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water
System of a Down - System of a Down
Green Day - Insomniac
Chumbawumba - Tubthumper
In other news, the Red Sox have won 6 straight and are taking a commanding lead in the Wild Card race in the American League. There is still about four weeks left of the baseball season to go. I'm predicting the American League playoff picture to pan out as such:
East: NY Yankees
Central: Minnesota
West: LA Angels
Wild Card: Red Sox
There's nothing profound about my predictions, though most would say that Detroit is running away with the Central as Minnesota is 4.5 games back right now. However, I'm not very impressed with Detriot's pitching staff, and the Twins are able to get it done on offense against any team. I think there's still plenty of time for the Tigers to fall to the Twins in this race as the Twins have a 3-game winning streak going for them right now. The Twins and the Tigers face off seven more times this season! This gives the Twins plenty of chances to take a lead in the AL Central.
Red Sox will face off against the Angels in the ALDS, as usual, and blow through them, as usual! Dice-K pitched a solid 6 scoreless innings against the Angels tonight, and I'm looking forward to seeing him finally get back into the Sox's rotation.
I hope to God the Yankess lose to Minnesota, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Sox face off against them either. Though since the All-Star Break the Yankees have pretty much dominated every team in the AL East, I have full faith that the Sox will be able to get the job done. I'm not afraid of C.C. Sabathia or Mark Teixeira.
The Buffalo Bills were charging down the Patriots' half of the field as the final 10 minutes ticked off of the 4th quarter. Greg Webber, confident that the Bills were running away with the game, challenged everyone to a bet that the Patriots wouldn't string a comeback together. All of my instincts told me to take the bet because I knew that Tom Brady would pull another game-winning drive out of his pocket. Needless to say, I didn't take the bet. What was I thinking?
As the clock winded down to the final 5 minutes of the 4th quarter, the Buffalo Bills had just scored a touchdown to put them up 24-13 against the New England Patriots. Greg still taunted us to take his bet, but I still didn't for some reason.
BOOM! The Patriots charge down the field and score a TD to put them within 5 with 2:06 remaining (failed 2pt conversion).
Kickoff.....McKelvin of the Bills catches it in the end zone...doesn't down it for the guaranteed touchback, but takes it up field! Here comes Merriweather....LATER! Stripped ball and the Patriots take control on the Bills' 31. Quick pass from Brady to Watson AGAIN for the game-winner because Trent Edwards cannot run an offense against the Patriots when they're winning at home with less than a minute remaining.
If only I took that bet from Greg, I would be owed an ice cream cone at Friendly's. Yeah, the bet was for ice cream.
It's about time that I made the switch from Livejournal to something a little more professional (kind of). That being said, I haven't "seriously" used my Livejournal in a few years, but I did enjoy writing in it back in the day. I can't promise myself that I'll even use this, but for some reason I was inspired to start writing in a blog. I hope to someday be Tim Meadows' Blog Master.
So yesterday kicked off the 2009 NFL season. Actually, last Thursday's game between the Steelers and the Titans did, but I hold so much animosity towards the Steelers that last Thursday wasn't put in the category of yesterday's games. I wasn't around for the beginning part of the afternoon, but I caught some of the endings to the 1pm games and then all of the 4pm games.
HILIGHTS FROM SUNDAY
- Brandon Stokley's game-winning 87-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Orton with less than 1 minute remaining in the 4th quarter
- Adrian Peterson runs for 180 yards and 3 touchdowns as Brett Favre passes for 1 touchdown
- Drew Brees "cuts up" the Lions as he passes for 6 touchdown passes and over 350 yards
- Giants defense owns the Redskins. Osi Umenyiora forces a fumble and returns it for a touchdown
- Green Bay wins as Aaron Rodgers throws a deep touchdown pass to Greg Jennings on 3rd and 1 instead of going for the field goal
As for other games, I'm looking forward to Tom Brady's return to the NFL tonight as the Patriots take on the Marshawn Lynch-less Buffalo Bills. It'll be interesting to see how Terrell Owens does on his new team as well. Also tonight is the Oakland Raiders vs. the San Diego Chargers. I can't wait to see Ladanian Tomlinson tear up the spotty Raiders' defense.
