10 Things I Love About Everything Cont...

5. Beer-Oh sweet deliciousness, how I love thee. "He was a wise man who invented beer"-Plato If one of the greatest ancient philosophers thought it was a great thing, who am I to disagree? The hoppsy goodness, the wheaty smoothness, the rich barley flavors...beer is a beautiful thing. Favorites include Rolling Rock, Michelob Golden Light, Stiegel, Pilsner Urquell (tastes like bananas!), Molson Canadien and for darker beers Amber Bock and Newcastle. Those that make the shit list include Labatt Blue, Heineken, and Becks Dark.

4. Winning-There is nothing better than coming out on top, #1, ahead of the pack. It's such a great feeling. I, admittedly, carry it a bit too far although I did get very used to losing during my years at Marenisco High School. I guess that's what happens when you play varsity basketball in 8th grade. I'm way too competitive, the worst instance being the "cleanest placemat" contest I had with Norb. Whether it's beating Paul in cribbage, tearing it up on the jump course (miss you Harley! =( ), kicking ass in volleyball, or beating Daisy, Sandy's 4 year old daughter, in Go Fish I absolutely love to win.

3. The NFL/Minnesota Vikings-I'm not trying to get all macho here or anything, I hate watching baseball and basketball and I don't really understand hockey that well, although I'm working on that one, but I just fucking LOVE football. I will sit there on Sunday and watch pregame starting at 11 and continue on until the late night game on ESPN. And don't even try to talk to me on Monday nights. I hate the Super Bowl because it signifies the end of the season...February to September is a looooong time! Naturally, my love of football carries over to a deep love of MY team, the Minnesota Vikings. Say what you will, they're my team. And no one could ever call me a bandwagon fan. I'm sure that I'll get some sort of comment like "So, how many Super Bowls did the Vikings win?" (hopefully this will deter that) but I don't care. At least they're not the Packers, who would most definitely make my hate list, probably somewhere near the top. Thinking about the Packers and their INCREDIBLY ANNOYING fans, who for some reason think that they're better than everyone because their team plays outside in the cold (which is really just stupidity, like guys who are proud of being able to crush beer cans on their heads) and because they have Brett Favre (hate to say it guys, but he's getting OLD)makes me want to scream. I'm not kidding. I'm thinking about screaming right now actually. Oh, there I go.

Okay, I don't have the patience to finish this right now, I'll have to get back to it tomorrow. Bear with me here.
