For all of you who follow How I Met Your Mother, this is Barney's christmas list.
The reason I am moving from livejournal to blogger is because its easier to keep up with my friends in school and im keeping my other blog to post every now and then, and to keep up with camp folk. here was my last post, which was posted about 30 minutes ago.
So ole man winter came in on Sunday morning. We went from 68 degree high to a high of only 35. Wow, got to love Global Warming. Last night the Bears/Packers game was 7 degrees and a wind chill in the negatives (what a great game though, wow). Christmas this year has really creepped up on me this year. I blame it on the unseasonably warm weather. Christmas is in TWO days, holy crap. I kind of want to fly out to CO and see AP just so I can see some snow (and see Anna of course). Naturally, my flight would get canceled and I wouldn't be able to see any. I do like the cold weather, its the wind that I do not like. F the wind. I think me dad and I really like this time of year for a few reasons, and one of them being that James Bond comes on tv nonstop for almost 5 days and its GREAT. As I write this, Live and Let Die is on, such a classic Bond film.
What you are about to read about you might want to skip over unless you know how the guys I hang out with function. The girls blog, and the guys play fantasy sports, however a few do both. I started out with baseball my freshman year then went on to football, college football pick'em and this year we added basketball. Fantasy Baseball is the reason why I watch/keep up with baseball now, 2 years ago I really could of cared less about baseball. My teams have always fallen short, this past year in baseball, I went in as the 2 seed in the playoffs and ended up in 6th place overall. With fantasy sports, especially football its bragging rights that you picked the best team of pro athletes and the rest of the guys can suck it.
This story here is about a Cinderella Story that Cinderella herself would tell and be amazed. So my team earned the name "Strugglesville" because I started out the season with 7 losses in the first 8 weeks. I was kind of upset because I thought my team was pretty good, just not as good as the other players I was going against. Then the next 5 weeks, something amazing happened, with a few dominate free agent picks-ups, I wont the next 5 games and the last game of the season my less than one point to clinch the 7th seed in the playoffs (8 teams make it out of 12). I was in last place 4 weeks ago then to be in the playoffs was awesome. I figured I would be in and out of the playoffs, but win after win I made it to the finals. With some help with TJ and Frank Gore not playing at all this week, I won by 8 points. I know its only fantasy football, it doesnt really matter, but some of these guys spend a lot of time making changes, moving people around. This season I made a total of 9 changes (which was 4th least in my league and second least among guys who made the playoffs).
