So those hilarious New Yorkers at Gawker have started a poll, Does Boston Actually Suck More Than D.C.? Those kidders.

Ignoring the article’s obnoxiousness, they do make some valid points – last call is ridiculously early, the T SUCKS harder than a trannie hooker and fanaticism with the Red Sox does get annoying, especially for a Patriots fan like me yearning for more Pats coverage (although things have shifted slightly since 2003).

The Boston accent is mentioned. For the record, I agree that a hardcore Boston accent is like “nails on a chalkboard” but a New Yawk accent is like two hands full of nails on a chalkboard. Oh yea, I said it.

I also find it slightly ironic that they ignore the Knicks consistent suckitude and use the Celtics to sum up Boston’s all over suckiness.

I can take the article with a grain of salt. I’m not one of the uppity white Ivy League grads that the article’s commenters seem to think the city is filled with. But the one thing that did get me was a comment by a Philly native claiming Boston sucks worse than any city in the world. Philadelphia, the city that constantly stinks of rotten cow flesh and is on its, what, 250th homicide this year? Hi, Pot!

Bryan over at One Man’s Goal is hosting a competition. Called, “The Blogger Challenge,” the point is for each participant to better their blogs. Well, ya can’t get much worse than mine. It’s all uphill from here!

Most importantly, the prize is bragging rights.

Former San Francisco 49ers coach Bill Walsh passed away today at the age of 75.

He left an indelible mark on the game of football and will be sorely missed.

Everyone loves web stats, myself included, and I especially get a kick out of what people type into a search engine to find my site. Here are some of my favorite of the last month, along with some of my answers. I hope they found what they were looking for!

a nickname for the name angela – Well that one is easy. Some of my nicknames include Ang, Angie, Angel… you get the point. Angela is also a good name because it doesn’t rhyme with anything, so it’s grade-school safe.

cost of college is bullshit – You’re preaching to the choir. It’s all great and easy for kids with parents financially able, but for folks like me who have to try and pay for it ourselves, it’s a real son of a bitch.

do i tell my boss i got a dui – I’d say, unless you work as a chauffeur, no.

he thinks i’m a drama queen, how can i fix it? – Here’s a simple solution to your problem, drop him. The end.

i cannot make dunkin donuts coffee taste the same – I have perfected this one. It’s simple. First, completely ignore the directions on the package of coffee. Simply add 8 ounces of water for every ONE tablespoon. Presto chango – you have Dunkin Donuts coffee. And it’s better, too, because you know it’s not two hours old.

Today was the kickoff of the Patriots’ training camp. My dad, sister and I headed down there, and whatta ya know… we hit one of the largest traffic jams I have ever encountered in all my years of driving. It took us – get this – THREE HOURS TO GO SIX MILES! Oh, that’s not a typo, you read correctly. Three freakin hours. There were times that we did not move at all, for as long as ten minutes. It was a literal parking lot. And that’s before we hit Rt. 128!

BUT, all the agony, anxiety, and frustration was worth it because of this…

That would be THE Tom Brady, who was a mere four feet away from me. I’m not one of those “like oh my God,” girls, but, like oh my God! There is a reason why this guy dates one of the biggest supermodels in the world. Those ten seconds were the highlight of my year – that’s not saying much about my year, is it?

After practice, two AWESOME guys we met gave us a ride back to our car. We didn’t catch their names, but they rule! Thanks, guys!

The day was capped off with a round of frivolous spending in the pro shop.

In fact, I had such a good time, I didn’t even mind when we hit the horrendous traffic again on the way home (this time, we endured the traffic ALL THE WAY TO BOSTON).

If you really care, which you probably don’t but whatever, here’s a bunch of pictures I took today.
