Superbowl Week... lets get drunk baby

You were all warned... I am lazy and procrastinate. Sorry for the delay. What is new with everyone? You have to love the weather here in New York, snow and rain later turned into ice on the floor... GREAAAAAAATTTT!!! Sarcasm is a talent, it is better in person because you can actually tell easier.

As for my life I did start hitting the gym again. It has consumed most of my time, but it feels oh so good. I have missed the soreness and the atmosphere. I hate going by myself but its a sacrifice that I need to make. I feel satisfied and so much healthier. Also my diet is a little better as I have started cooking more. My wallet is happier too, as I do not spend $10 a day on lunch at work everyday lol.

I kind of feel my life is pulling together without as many distractions. I have had a lot of help with my resume, so hopefully I can improve my job status. I'll keep updates and thanks are in order. I have TV in my room now! Simple as it is, you miss it a lot and you don't notice until you get it back. I can chill and watch a movie or watch the game in peace without my roommate masticating in my ear as I end up going crazy lol.

Yesterday I was at Johnny Utah's in the city, FUN! People were real cool and we got drunk watching people fall off of the mechanical bull, a couple more drinks and I was gonna be next on it. Tonight I am going out with my best friend since like the 6th grade, my boy Wilz! The Skinny is what its called, I'll let you know how it ends up.

Streak of Bad Luck:

OK I went to the Bronx (last Saturday was it?) visited my uncle and my cousins it was cool. Then I ended up out and about in a bar midtown, had some drinks talked a lot and had some fun. Moral of the story, I lose my scarf, hat and more importantly my house keys. There were times this week after the gym I come home and no one is here or around and I had to go back to wherever someone was to borrow the keys. Boy does it suck not being able to go inside the confines of your own house at will. I finally made a copy of my keys today!

Weekly Bet:

First off I'd like to explain at request of a reader who didn't quite get how the spread works. Lets use the example of the Superbowl. Las Vegas makes up a point spread because if not most people would just bet on the better team (otherwise known as the favorite, they are favored to win) and most of the time they would beat the lesser team (the underdog). This week the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing against the Arizona Cardinals. The Steelers are the favorites, naturally so the Cardinals are underdogs. Vegas is giving 7 points on the spread so it reads Pittsburgh (-7), Arizona (+7). So if you bet Pittsburgh they have to win, and do so by more than 7 points, so if the final score is Pittsburgh 24 Arizona 21, Pitt wins but then you add in the spread 24-7=17 so it ends up being 17-21 Arizona covers the spread. Arizona can lose by 6 points or less or flat out win. In the event where the score difference is exactly 7 points in the Steeler's favor it is considered a push. The score can be Pitt 28 Arizona 21, and since it is the exact number no one wins the person you are betting against (usually the bookie) or you.

2 weeks ago I went 1 for 2, as Arizona won but Baltimore failed to cover. Remember I had my bet with the ultimate stamp of approval on the two team teaser, that also hit. So if you took my advice you went 2 wins and 1 loss and you should be ahead.

This super Sunday, I am going to go for Arizona (+7). First off 7 points is pretty big for a Superbowl in my book, considering if the game is out of reach, what I call a gimme touchdown (one that doesn't really matter for the outcome of the game because the other team already won basically, so its almost as if they let them score) is very likely. But I believe the Cardinals can and should win this game flat out. Granted, I do hate the Steelers but their offense is shitty in my book. The big Santonio Holmes play last week was soooo horrible with a under thrown pass and a cornerback slipping and falling while Rothlisberger throwing across the field *gasp* horrific. Arizona's defense is better than Pittsburgh's offense, I think a great Arizona offense will even out with Pitt's great defense.

Talk to you next week hopefully with some new and exciting updates lol
