today is a very special day... not just because it's Friday, but that's nice... not even because it's 1-11 which rarely ever happens... what? oh, it happens every year?... okay... not because of that... but today is special nonetheless... today, Monk and Psych return to air as planned... regardless of the strike... i'm happy...but what's really special about this day is The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything... yeah... Veggietales in the theater again...

ON HUCKABEE, ON THOMPSON, ON MCCAIN, ON CLINTON, ON OBAMA, ETC...

so i was supposed to talk about the debates from last weekend and i blew it... i watched all the Republican segments and enjoyed it a lot... again, prior to this year, i never got much into the whole political scene... and while the charm of these ridiculous amounts of coverage should wear me even thinner than normal, i'm actually intrigued by it all... i was reminded why i don't like politics a few weeks ago witnessing angry arguing and abrupt assumptions, but it wasn't until the other day that i realized that i'm more a fan of debating than i am of politics...

i really enjoy watching these debates... i love the banter and the back and forth civil arguments... it's entertaining and educating... anyway, i'm still backing Huckabee and i'm excited to see how the next few states turn out... one thing i do really enjoy is that Romney is getting put in his place in every debate... the televangelist android has been spending millions on negative attack ads and everyone is calling him on it... they're nailing him for his inconsistencies and then he has the nerve to cry foul...

The funniest things i've seen this week have been Jon Stewart nailing both Mitt and Rudy on Wednesday's "A" Daily Show... anyway... enough politics...

WIN OR GO HOME (PT. 4)

Last on the docket... The NEW YORK Giants head down to Dallas to face the Cowboys... after getting manhandled during the previous two meetings this year, the Giants are looking for revenge... and they're looking to the suddenly strong arm of Eli Manning... this should shape up interestingly as Romo will surely have some jitters and Eli has the confidence of having led his team to victory last week... the problem is that he's still facing the Cowboys, who have dialed him up twice already this year... Terrell Owens promises to be back and this promises to be a really good game... all week, i've been thinking that the Cowboys will win easily, but i'm actually changing my vote and calling this one for the Giants...

NEW YEAR, NEW MUSIC, NEW OUTLOOK

i've spent a lot of time thus far this year getting organized... i'm trying to make this year a great year for writing... i know, i've said that many times before and i still have a long way to go... but i'm happy to be listening to the new Leeland album and have a few other promising prospects coming down the pike...

AND WITH THAT...

everybody's working for the weekend... no, actually, i'm just chilling out all weekend... with some work thrown in, i'm sure... in honor of the Veggietales Pirates movie, you can "peep" my walk TRu of the movie soundtrack... happy weekend everybody... i've got some, emails to write...

peace... love... bdg...
