March Madness!

It's finally here. March madness. And that is exactly what it is. Who could have predicted Ohio knocking off #3 Georgetown? Villanova barely surviving in overtime against 15 ranked Robert Morris. Or, Danero Thomas of 13th seeded Murray State hitting a 15 footeer as the buzzer went off to shock #4 Vanderbilt. And who will forget Baylor winning it's first NCAA tourney game in 60 years! It's insane! No wonder it's called March Madness!
I have found an awesome website that I have embedded that you may check out to keep updated. Use the toolbar at the top to navigate and even print out your own bracket. It has all of the seeded teams in the conferences and scores and updates. It really is an immaculate page. I highly recommend that you check it out.
If enough people become followers and generate interest in this, we might just have to have a contest for the playoffs. Some kind of prize (NOT money, as that would be illegal) would be awarded. Please tell friends to check this out, become followers of this page, and leave comments if interested in this idea. if not, oh well. We can still have fun following the insanity!!!

Time of my Life

(FEEDBACK NEEDED!!!) I want to write a book. My life has been filled with enough tragedies to be funny. Not for me, but for anyone who reads it. Physical, mental and emotional abuse as a child; rape; being diagnosed as bipolar. Who can pass up reading a story about me and a friend "accidentally" buying alcohol for minors on our 21st birthdays and then being so paranoid about it that we dropped the "product" in some bushes at a McDonald's for them to pick up, and then drove to a vacent lot only to switch out our license plate with a pocket knife because we were afraid of the cops? Or maybe the Halloween my friend and I dressed like hookers on a dare and actually got propositioned and then the cops tried to bust us because they thought we were pros? And you know two failed maraiges is pure gold for a book. I could write and entire one on my second divorce alone; postpartum psychosis, nuthouses, assault, custody battles, eviction.....I could go on and on, and that's exactly what I want to do. I want to write it all down. In a book. I am mostly reserved about the goings on of my life, the intimate details, but I want to learn how to be more open. It's hard to talk about, so maybe writing would be the best way to get it all out. The hard part would be editing it. There is so much I want to tell. I would appreciate some feedback on this one as I am seriously considering this book writing venture. Comments on whether you think this is a good or bad idea, or maybe if you have tried this kind of thing before and have some tips.

Seasonal Affective Disorder- Life after the SuperBowl

It all started Monday, Feb. 08, 2010; this time. It happens every year, but while most people suffer from this disorder when the winter months set in, my agonizing pain begins when the Lombardi trophy is handed off and the confetti rain ceases to fall. It used to be that I had a glimmer of happiness left, one one last proud stand of the season in the Pro Bowl; but alas, this was wrenched away from me this year as the game was played BEFORE the Super Bowl in MIAMI! (insert stroke) Now, halfway through March, the withdraws have a tight grasp on me. I am like a junkie who needs a fix and can't score until preseason (no pun intended). All I can do is sit in a dark, quiet room watching the bottom line of ESPN for any glimpse of NFL news, wait for the draft (April 22-24; 40 days to go!!!), and make my projections (Nebraska's Suh #1 all the way baby!!).
It's gonna be a long summer.....
