I'm Back, Did Ya Miss Me?
Alright, the rumors of this blog's demise have been greatly exaggerated... if there have been any rumors? C'mon, I want rumors!
Anyway, it has nothing to do with the writers' strike. This writer doesn't go on strike... because I'm not part of that union. No, I am a grad student, and as such, my writing has all been academic lately. While I've written about certain themes that have come up here in this blog, things like politics and TV, that has taken up all of my energy.
So I look around me now, a few months later and I shake my head over the fact that very little has changed. People around here are still actively rooting for the failure of Destiny USA, conservatives and liberals continue to actively hate each other and make us moderates shake our heads, reality TV still sucks, Greg Robinson still has a job, and a Spears got pregnant... only it was the underage one. So there's really not much that's new under our non-existent Syracuse sun.
Well, okay, I discovered I really like "Scrubs". Yeah, I know I'm really late to the party on this one, like 7th and final season late.
There have been some great stories out there. The West Genesee football team won the state championship. No, I'm not making that up... the FOOTBALL team won the state championship. After going 3-6 last season, after the last two decades saw a grand total of 3 winning seasons, zero postseason wins, and a lot of ridicule, the Wildcats turned things around with an exciting offense and a ballhawking defense. They finished the regular season two missed tackles shy of being undefeated, then they ran the table in the playoffs and states. With no players being chased by D-1 powers (although maybe some of them should have been), they won it all and made everyone around here that much prouder to be from Camillus.
There's a lot more to talk about, but I'll give it a proper entry of its own. Namely I know there's a long-awaited State of the Tube Address I need to give, and as the year comes to a close, I have the traditional year-end list to run down. I'll just leave you with these simple words:
Merry Christmas to all! And I'm not going anywhere...
