Random notes:
+ First, we learned that David Letterman was having a rendez-vous with his assistant. Then, Jimmy Kimmel comfirmed that he was dating his head writer. Now I hear that Carson Daly was caught with a box of Kleenex and an L.L. Bean catalog... 
+ I'll admit that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for his goals, not for his accomplishments. In his defense, it was a weak year for world peace --a vague statement, but it's true-- and the field was wide open; besides, he's not the worst pick the Nobel committee has ever made (see "Arafat, Yassir"). Nevertheless, I congratulate the president on his award, though I really hope he puts his money where his mouth is.
+ The world is not coming to an end in December 2012, so would everybody just let the topic die already?
+ Boy oh boy, I've been a terrible prognosticator this week. I predicted a Cards-Phillies NLCS and a Bosox-Yankees ALCS, and instead Boston and St. Louis put up terrible first-round performances. On top of that, I picked Jacksonville to humble Seattle in Week 5, not the other way around. On the other hand, my World Series forecast (Philadelphia over New York in 6) is still viable, and it's not like the Jags or She-Hawks are playoff contenders.
+ This Friday I'm driving down to Normal for Illinois State's Homecoming. For the third time in five years, my Redbirds (2-3 for the year) are heading home to face the Indiana State Sycamores, perhaps the worst college football program in the country (32 straight losses and counting dating to 2006). Here's hoping Da Trees make it 33 in a row... though as my previous comment implied, I won't bet the farm on it.
+ I support same-sex marriage, though when you live in a white bread, right-of-center suburb, you have to force yourself to downplay such a bold statement. Last Sunday was National Coming Out Day, and I'd like to dedicate this blog entry to anyone and everyone that has found the courage to be honest about their sexual orientation. In the wake of Prop 8 and growing opposition by the religious right, it'd be foolish to think that legalizing same-sex unions will happen overnight, but the progress made since the Stonewall Riots 40-plus years ago proves that such a possibility is feasible within our lifetimes. Keep searching for that rainbow!

As for your end of the world it will be Dec of 2012 the same as it was Jan 1 2000 LOL
I agree on Obama's goals, but I think it was a very poor choice and a bad precedent to set. I know they have given the award to undeserving people in the past, but it doesn't excuse giving it to someone again. I believe in the individuals choice in general. I don't like to dictate things to people about issues that don't effect everyone else personally. Interesting stuff, thanks Jeffery
I hope this isnt out of line, but i got to wonder how many confused and stupid people are going kill themselves on that date just because of a stupid myth. I am deeply sadden by the fact that the sox got swept and by the angles too. Hopefully they will end the yankees chanses. Have fun at the homecoming, i support same-sex marriage, lesbians are the greatest people in the world that's why
Secondly, I do not fault the president for his Nobel prize. It's the left wing nut jobs in Norway that look like idiots, not Pre. Obama.
Finally, Wish I had the courage to come out Sunday but alas another year in the closet I'm afraid. A marriage and a church hang in the balance so I am forced to play with the coat hangers.
