A Post About Absolutely Nothing

Ok, so in the title it says that on from time to time there would be an occasional rant about nothing. I haven't faithfully held my end of the bargain on that one. Therefore folks, here you go, a rant about nothing.

Over the weekend at our church, I had the pleasure of playing my acoustic guitar with some very talented musicians, in front of a few thousand people. I tell you what, in my life, this was up there with being one of the more difficult thing I've ever had to do. My attempts at public speaking, while enjoyable would be number one, but after time that becomes less nerve inducing. But doing something that has always been a hobby, in front of a large group of people was enough to put the sweat glands into overload. On more than one occasion it seemed like they had turned up the heat, then I realized, oh, its just me.

I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to share the talent that I have been blessed with. I was feeling pretty good about my guitar playing skills, until I came across the following video, shown below. I know now that I still have a long way to go. Hope you enjoyed the rant, now enjoy a truly talented musician.

Regards.

NFL Playoff Football

Its the start of another playoff season in the NFL and much to my disappointment the Detroit Lions have someone once again found themselves on the outside looking in.

As a long time fan of the inept Liedowns, I found myself drinking the Kool Aid this season. At 6 and 2 I was in the Club at Ford Field screaming playoffs just like everyone else. I mean even if the Lions went .500 the rest of the way they were going to make the playoffs, but 1 and 7? Are you kidding me? However, in my heart I knew this was coming. I mean it isn't as if the Lions have ever given me reason to think they would do anything but rip the hearts out of long time Lions fans everywhere.

It has gotten so bad that we have this flawed logic, that according to Murphy (Law that is) we can't pass on our season tix, because someone else might buy them and that's the year the Lions will make the playoffs. How sick is that logic.

But we may just be a symptom of the no fun league as with profit sharing and the such, it really doesn't matter if we don't show up, or renew our tickets, as the team still makes money. That's right folks in the NFL it doesn't matter if you put a good product on the field, you gets paid 4 sho.

I'm not exactly sure where I am going with this rant except I think by putting in words on 2007's version of paper, I am getting self therapy. So of course I will renew my tix, wait for the draft and be extremely excited for the hope of playoffs when we draft another receiver.
