Allow Me to Vent

It’s this simple–after paying for a television that, quite frankly, is the most important thing in my life that doesn’t have a heartbeat, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO TO A BAR TO WATCH TEXAS/OKLAHOMA.  AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO SO BECAUSE THE LOCAL AFFILIATE WILL BE SHOWING THE FLORIDA STATE-NC STATE GRUDGE MATCH.

I’m madder than James Brown was when that dude got down with his woman.  That ain’t right.

Catching up…

Business…here’s my list of reasons why Stephen Jackson is a great choice as a team captain.

So, I figure since I haven’t been blogging as much recently, I should update you on a few major goings on at Bomaniland.

Got a date?  Nope.  Moving on…

What do you think about the college football season?  As entertaining as any I can remember.

What’s the best movie you saw recently?  Watched “The Last King of Scotland” on DVD with my fiancee.  Great movie, and an incredible performance from Forest Whitaker.

How deep into “The Wire” withdrawal?  Oh goodness.

I’ve been intermittently watching episodes from Season 4 (yeah, I got that there).  Not even in order.  Just going to scenes I wanted to see and watching them, then somehow going through three episodes.

I’ve tried to engage almost anyone I could in speculation on what’ll happen in Season 5 (which I believe will hit the air in January).  Hit me on e-mail if you’ve got theories.  I won’t spoil any plot stuff on the site until my fiancee sees Season 4.

I’ve downloaded the songs in the season ending montages of Seasons 2-4 (each of which sounds great in 5.1).

I’ve been helping a friend watch the episodes, just so I’d have someone new to discuss this stuff with.

I’ve realized what a great character Bodie Broadus is.

I’ve realized that I’d be in good shape if I grew up to be like Lester Freamon (perhaps because my fiancee always takes the time to mention that he’s a “nice looking man”).

I’m listening to Solomon Burke’s “Fast Train” as we speak.

I’m thinking, as we speak, of how I can write about the season when it comes around (and I think I know how to do it).

I might be looking forward to “The Wire” premiere moreso than I’m anticipating Christmas.
