5:30 am and my Conference Championship thoughts

I'm tired as shit.

It's currently 5:31 am and I'm sitting in my cubical at work. I'm cold and half asleep. It's truly bull shit that I'm here right now. On my old shift, I'd still be asleep for ANOTHER THREE HOURS. However, due to school complications I had to switch up the script and get on a schedule that would make over night janitors sad. How I talked myself into the merits of working a shift that begins roughly around the time I used to go to bed is beyond me. I guess I'm just a really good salesman.

Look, I neve said I was a smart man.

Instead of doing something constructive, like my job, I felt the need to come scribe some words out on this ol' bloggy poo.

Yes, bloggy poo.

No matter how you cut it, writing a blog is more fun than my job. I know I don't talk about my job alot on here other then to say I hate it with my heart and soul, but trust me it is. For those of you who don't know (and there shouldn't be anyone since all 7 of my readers know me on a personal level) I do credit card bill collection for a large bank (I'll keep the name out to keep my employment), and I don't think I'm going too far out on the limb when I say: bill collection blows. True it puts food on my table and cash in my pocket but at what point is that worth selling your soul and mortgaging your happiness.

-admitadly it's not THAT bad, but remember it is 5:30 in the morning.

I just don't like getting told to "go fuck myself" at 5 in the morning. Ok, I don't like that at anytime, but it's especially true while the rest of the world is still balls deep in dream world. I wish I could record some of these calls and put them on the internet, they would become a sensation. You wouldn't believe the kind of things that get said to me daily. I believe, in my heart of hearts, I spend my day speaking to the most retarded people this planet has to offer.

Today is going to be worse, because it's a Sunday. The people who don't like getting phone calls from my line of work, REALLY hate it on Sundays. Here is how the majority of my calls are going to go:


"Is (insert name of douche bag I'm looking for) there?"
" Don't call here mothafucka', it's the sabith and we at church."
"You're picking up your phone and swearing at church?"
"...fuck you." The end. Rinse and Repeat for success.

Now I could write a book about my customers and the evil things they say (and I might) but I'm going to stop right there for the time being. My objective wasn't to talk about that, rather just to support the fact that I would rather be in my warm bed laying next to my fiance. Not tripping off rockstar, with my back pinching up, listening to douchebags inform me about the economy being bad like they're the only person getting shit on. It's really not even comparable, but thats my reality right now.

Thank God for Football this afternoon, which is what I'll be doing before and after nap time when I get off work today. Watching Football (suck on that seemless transition).


And since we're on the subject I'll go ahead and throw out my predictions for the two Conference Championship games (hoping to do better then I did for the National Championship):

Green Bay @ Chicago- Green Bay is giving 3 1/2 to Chicago, on the road. Yuck. Without spending time disecting this game, we can boil it down to this: I think Gren Bay is better then Chicago. Aaron Rodgers has fire shooting out of his ass ( 22 touchdowns and only 2 picks in last 9 games, including last weeks 31 for 36- 366 yard 3 touchdown ass whooping he administered to Atlanta) and Jay Cutler doesn't have a chin.

Green Bay and Chicago played twice this year, home team winning both games. However, Chicago's win was a little questionable due to Green Bay committing a team record 18 penalties. Though the Packers are returning to the scene of the crime, I can't fathom another 18 penalty shit sandwhich

All that taken in account, and with the fear that Aaron Rodgers suffers from "Too Many Writers Riding My Jock" syndrom I say Green Bay wins, but Chicago Covers 17-14.

New York @ Pittsburg- Pitt is giving 4 at home. Pittsburg has a depleted offensive line, against a team that features the exotic blitz pacakges of Rex Ryan (who would probably blitz the water boy if he thought he could sneak him past the quarterback). Couple that with the fact that Troy Polamalu is out ( and Pitt is 6-7 with out the future Hall of Famer). Looking at that, I'd say we are looking at a Jets victory. But I'm not quite ready to say that.

Here are a couple fun things to keep in mind during the game. The AFC over the last 7 years (and 8 of the last 9) has been represented by a team being quarterbacked by either Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Ben Rothlisburger. The Jets have beat Peyton Manning and Tom Brady to get to this game to face- Ben Rothlisburger.

Logic points to the Jets. But if Green Bay and the Jets win, we have two 6 seeds in the Superbowl. Only one 6 seed has made the big game before ( Steelers in 2005). Plus, Ben Rothlisburger winning another Superbowl less then a year after his 2nd sexual assault charge has got to be terror inducing for Roger Goodell, and since he is pushing for an 18 game schedule (despite the health concerns from the Players Union and the rest of the Planet) you gotta think karma might play a roll in this.

Final verdict, New York wins 23-17 due to some shaddy calls in favor of the Jets (Get ready Pittsburg fans, you deserve it).
