Wow, another WUMF out on time… watch out, we got a badass over here.
Obligatory YouTube Update
Winding down the first season of Mongo Smashes Minecraft is hard. The series is sort of driven by the achievement board and I’m having issues getting a few as well as just having time to play. With my kid back in school, it will be easier, but I’ve just been too tired to be “on” when I go to record. Over the summer I started a new series, “Skyblock” which was a survival challenge. The last few episodes are sort of down in energy as I’m just going through the motions to finish it. A highlight has been taking on Sims 3 from a more observant view. Two episodes in and I think it’s some of my better work which makes up for the dreaded SimCity debacle. Still, I am not doing enough, but that’s another story.
Summer?
So, the commercial end of summer is upon us. For those of us in the SWPA it doesn’t seem like we had a summer, really. There were days I would get out to the car at 5:50AM and I could see my breath. That’s nothing compared to mention of the rain we had. Looks like we’ll probably have 80 degrees temperatures around Thanksgiving.
Pttsburgh Sports
The Pirates are five games away from breaking the curse of Barry Bonds. FIVE GAMES to beat .500. Now, for some that is a landmark achievement. For basically every other team out there, that’s average. I cannot fathom why we are content with mediocrity. Some will say, “Don’t rush it. It’s a start.” No, that start began three years ago and each year they sniffed .500 until somewhere in the middle of the season they choked. Also, that slow rebuilding phase should have began ten years ago and it didn’t. Sorry, but I have refused to get on the bandwagon, and it probably was for the best as this year they are set to finally have a winning season. Once again, though, I ask, “How can a team that had a four game lead on The St. Louis Cardinals be happy with .500?” This should be a pennant race season.
The Steelers on the other hand had a lot of promise. And half their players are now on IR, DL, PUP, or other teams’ roster lists. They just closed out preseason with 0-4 and after last year’s 8-8 I don’t give them much chance of making it to the AFC Championship. At least their schedule is a little better, this year. When I saw most of the division games in the last part of the year I was worried. I was right to be worried.
Speaking of 20 years
At the end of next month, my high school’s 20 year reunion is taking place. I haven’t been to one yet, so why not keep the streak alive. It’s funny but when you get caught up in all the nostalgia and current drama with your classmates from way back when, you find yourself stuck back in that world, all over again. While I had a blast in 1993, these days it’s no so fun to relive what it was like for me then. You never really do leave high school. You just keep getting sucked back into the same old shit you were subjected to then.
