You Just Don't Get It, You Keep It Copacetic...

Ever go to a job interview and the person interviewing you is at least five years younger than you, not to mention a graduate of the same college you went to? Yeah. That happened today. What made it even worse was the fact that this guy was a supervisor and I was interviewing for a part-time position that more than likely paid less than half of his annual salary. Go me!

Normally this kind of thing would put me in a foul mood, but my Patriots stomped the Jets yesterday 37-16 in the first round of the playoffs, so all is copacetic. Next up for the greatest quarterback of all-time, Tom Brady and the rest of the Pats, is a trip out west to play the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers finished with the best record in the NFL this year at 14-2, and haven't lost a game since October. They also have the NFL's Most Valuable Player, LaDanian Tomlinson, who runs over defenders like Rosie O' Donnel trying to get to the all-you-can-eat buffet table. Yikes. It's going to be a brutal war of a game out there, but the Pats still have Tom and Coach Bill, so hopefully they can take advantage of the playoff inexperience of the Chargers and pull out a win.

I know a couple of guys who live out in San Diego now, so it's really tempting to do something completely nuts like break out one of the credit cards and fly out there to attend the game. It's not like it would be that hard to find a ticket. San Diegans (sic?) don't really give a shit about their football team and the only reason that stadium has been full this year is due to casual bandwagon-jumpers buying seats because of the team's winning record. They aren't like Eagles fans who would sell their first-born children for an empty Chunky Soup bowl that may or may not have been eaten by Donavan McNabb. The visiting team fans have also bought a lot of tickets out there, so I expect a strong New England contingency there to root on the Patriots.

If the Patriots win, they would then have to play either Baltimore or their old pals the Indianapolis Colts, to get to their fourth Super Bowl in six years. Yes, there are more important things to think about right now, but fuck it, it's January and what the hell else is there to do? You can't go sledding because it's 60 degrees and raining everyday, and the mountains have shit for snow right now so skiing and snowboarding is out as well (not that I've ever done either one...I'm just sayin', you know?). Hell, you can't even go to the movies in January (a.k.a 'dump month') because every film is a steaming turd that was either dumped from a previous release date back in summer, or it's simply a terrible movie that studio uses to fill the gaps in its' schedule.

All right, I'm officially in rambling territory here. Time to wrap this up. I'll do so by saying you should watch this video because it's ridiculously funny. (Yes, I know it's ancient history by now, but it's new to me so piss off.)
