Is God punishing Illinois for not getting any snow last year?

This is the way it has been the past month.

Snow.
Rain.
Snow melts.
Cold weather turns rain on the ground into ice.
Repeat.

What the hell is going on?

Damn, I'm running out of TV shows to watch. Hehe, as if I needed to watch MORE television.

A current rundown of the shows I watch:

Prison Break: Season finale was underwhelming BUT I wouldn't blame that on the producers but the goddamn writer's strike. Despite my love for this show, it doesn't need another 22 episode season. There were only 9 episodes left in the season if there was a finale so early.

Heroes: Season 3 now premiering on September 2008. Hopefully, it's better than season 2.

Psych: The finale was great on this incredibly funny show. Among the better shows on television and the one of the most consistent.

House: One of the most consistent shows bringing quality writing and acting. The show ended with a Christmas episode that premiered in frickin' February. Rumored to have more episodes in April.

30 Rock: Rumored to have more episodes in April.

South Park: 12th season already premiering in mid-March.

Lost: While the premiere wasn't as great as past seasons, this season has been the most consistent since season 1. Instead of flashbacks with each episode, most are flashforwards.

Dexter: Season 2 was the best season of all the shows this past year.

Monk: After one of its worst seasons with only a few gems, Monk began its two-part season finale on a high note last Friday with the re-introduction of the Trudy storyline. Part two is on Friday and I can't wait.

Entourage: New season premiering in late August-early September.

Breaking Bad: The only show aside from Lost that I'm watching right now. So far, it's been going great.

American Dad/Family Guy: I don't know what happened but while AD is better than FG nowadays, they both have been pretty piss poor seasons.

Burn Notice: Hopefully, there's a new season coming in June.

Aside from these, I've been watching old TV shows like Freaks and Geeks and Arrested Development. I love Freaks and Geeks and if it wasn't cancelled I'd be watching it right now. Arrested Development is funny but not laugh out loud funny. Some are incredibly funny while some just made me grin.

And oh yeah, watch this Pineapple Express trailer, it make you laugh

God, I hate the fucking snow.

If only snow melted on anything except grass instead of fucking accumulating so much that it feels like you're shoveling a fucking slurpee. A heavy 20-lb slurpee.

They were the team with all the records.
All the victories.
All the points.
All the best players.
The best offense of the league.
One of the best defenses of the league.

And they came up short.

For a team to go undefeated, to lose in a championship game is simply un-fucking-acceptable.

But yet, the New England Patriots did it. They lost the Super Bowl and after thinking about it after a couple of hours, they deserve the loss. They simply did not have the hunger as they did in the regular season where they were destroying teams by 30 or 40 points.

The New York Giants had that hunger and it was apparent when Eli "Wency Hates Him" Manning got off a sack and threw a hail mary at David Tyree, an unknown player until today. Manning wouldn't let anyone bring him down unlike NFL MVP Tom Brady who kept on getting sacked so much that he was a fucking human grass stain. Brady got sacked so much that at some points of the game, he thought he was getting sacked in the pocket when he wasn't and began rushing.

The Patriots thought that luck would save them at the end (as with all the Bowls they participated in) when Brady began throwing bombs towards Randy Moss.

I gotta give props to the Giants. At least Eli can no longer be blamed for being a pussy. Michael Strahan finally got his Super Bowl ring. They played their hearts out and it showed.

If the Pats played their hearts out, the game would have been a blowout of probably 60-17. But did they play their hearts out? I doubt it. I could already see in the final seconds that Tom Brady was no longer invincible, he was completely human. He was finally average. During the regular season, his eyes showed remarkable intensity and focus, like a predator hunting his prey. But in Super Bowl 42, the intensity and focus were completely gone. Replacing his frozen, focus-induced stare were two red eyes looking tired and bloodshot.

If there was one thing to blame for the Pats' Super Bowl loss, it would be the frickin' Pats' offensive line. They did not protect Brady at all. Something that worked every game in the season completely was torn apart by the Giants' pass-rushers. It was just so sad seeing the best NFL team in years, probably decades, being reduced to shit.

The Pats won all their Super Bowls by 3 points. This time, the margin was still 3 points but it's on the side without the fucking trophy.

In a sports world where perfect seasons are extremely rare, after losing the last one 18-0 don't mean shit.
