the bears are winning. it's a miracle. acutally, i'm not that surprised because they are playing the packers and the packers pretty much stink. the bears might have a decent season this year. mainly because they get to play everyone in the NFC North twice. but lets now go to the saddest story, the red sox. i've given up on keeping track of the race because at this point, this is no hope anymore. they just lost 2 of 3 against the kansas city royals, one of baseball's worst teams. poor big papi has a heart problem and who knows when he will really be papi again. half the pitchers are on the dl and we just got nixon, varitek and ramierz back in time for the final twenty games of the season. on august 28, only two players from last years playoff team, kevin youlkilis and alex cora were on the current 40 man roster. it's insane! in order to make the playoffs, the sox would have to go something like 15-3 including a four game sweep against the yanks and the yankees would have to go 2-16 (which won't happen) just to force a one game playoff. so to end this, as a cub fan would say there's always next year...

SO THIS IS THE FIRST POST I'VE WRITTEN IN A LONG TIME...I PROMISE I'M NOT LAZY, MY COMPUTER CRASHED, SERIOUSLY. I'M STILL REALLY UPSET ABOUT IT, BECAUSE I LOST ALL OF MY COLLEGE ESSSAY'S AND PAPERS I'VE WRITTEN FOR SCHOOL SO FAR THIS YEAR. I'VE PRETTY MUCH SPENT A GOOD SIX OR SEVEN HOURS TRYING TO RE-TYPE EVERYTHING. THIS MORNING I WENT TO RYAN'S HOUSE TO HELP HIM WITH HIS ESSAY FOR MICHIGAN STATE. IT WASN'T AWFUL, BUT IT DEFINETLY NEED SOME WORK. THEN WE WENT TO BLOCKBUSTER, WHERE WE RENTED "UNITED 93" WHICH WE ARE PLANNING ON WATCHING TONIGHT. IT LOOKS KIND OF DEPRESSING BUT I THINK THAT IT IS PROBABLY A MOVIE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IN RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES ON THAT HORRIBLE DAY. SPEAKING OF THAT HORRIBLE DAY, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE THE HAPPENED. I MEAN, I CAN REMEMBER EXACTLLY WHERE I WAS WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, AND I FEEL AS IF IT WERE JUST A FEW DAY AGO THAT I WAS WATCHING THE FOOTAGE OF PEOPLE SCREAMING AS BUILDINGS COLLAPSED. ANYWAY, WE SHOULD ALL TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO OUT OF OUR LIVES ON MONDAY, AS WE REMEMBER THOSE WHO WE HAVE LOST AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR US OVERSEAS.
