18 September 2007 - The one where San Fran is in first place

As opposed to ending with, I'm going to start this entry with my Vernon Davis fun fact.
Vernon Davis has such an imposing presence that he can only score 2 fantasy points in two weeks and still lead his team to back to back victories.


That's right everybody. The Niners are 2-0. People said that it would be a cold day in hell before this would happen. Well, it looks like serial killers and unwed mothers are enjoying some fun winter weather down there.
Even more impressive is how horrible Alex Smith and crew have looked...YET THEY STILL WIN. The 49ers are the NFL's version of that kid in high school who studied at the last minute and pulled off B's without ever working that hard. And what would that kid always say? "Imagine if I actually put a little effort into my work. I'd be getting straight A's!"
Well, that's the strategy that Mike Nolan is adopting this season: Get by doing the least possible amount of work. But as all procrastinators know, there's going to come a point where your mom gives you the talk about starting your papers early and insisting that if you don't put in a little effort than your life is going to be pointless, meaningless and spent living in an apartment above a bowling alley and below another with an LSD-addicted room mate who claims to be John Stamos' long lost brother.
Come on, I can't be the only one who had that talk, right?
Anyhoo, I have a feeling that Week 3 is when the Niners get this talk from their team mom (maybe there's a Chunky Soup commercial in this) and show up in the first half. Go Niners. Go America.

It was labor day weekend, I was 17. I bought a coke and some gasoline.

It's currently day three of my blogging adventure, and David Delgado has still not accepted my challenge to get off of his lazy ass and start writing. This is why a hunger strike may be necessary. If Mr. Delgado does not cave in and post a new entry by the end of this week, then on November 14th, I, Max Davison, will officially pull a Ghandi and abstain from eating for as long as it takes. Homer Simpson also utilized this tactic when the Springfield Isotopes were planning on moving to Albuquerque. It worked then, and it will work now if necessary. Onto the blogging... I had a rather pleasant dinner at the Ath tonight. It was a class dinner for Prof. Busch's GOVT20 class. The highlights included conversations about the Ivory Coast, strange roommates, and (most importantly) they had some great cheesecake. So great, in fact, that we raided the empty tables to ensure ourselves some extra slices. Cheesecake. I love it. Occasionally, I'm not sure if I want cake or a dairy

25 October 2007 - I'm not sure what his appeal is, but he deserves better

Superman has kryptonite. Mike Tyson has Buster Douglas. Vince Young has grammar. We all have our weaknesses. But mine is a little bit more embarassing than any of the aforementioned (apart from VY's hatred of the present tense): dumb romantic comedies. Yes, it's not something that I like to admit and it's a vice probably better suited for the Probie or Sean Garrity , but I just like to sit down for an hour and a half, turn my brain off and watch two people fall in love. And apart from the Hanks/Ryan classics (which were ruined for me after Meg ditched Dennis Quaid for Cinderella Man ), there is one thread that links all of my favorites: Hugh Grant. I mean, just look at the guy. When he's not getting arrested for picking up hookers on Sunset (here's a better shot of the man), he's the epitome of the 90 minute romance. He's got "endearingly befuddled" down to an art form, he's also got perfect comedic timing and if you've ever seen hi

To forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race

So, I've decided to take a break from my James Joyce paper to talk about my candidate for President in 2008. He is a man of convictions. A man with a stellar record of military service. A man who knows how to get things done. A man who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty in order to set the world straight. A man who also has a talk show on FoxNews and frequents the Sean Hannity radio program. Col. Oliver North Argue with me if you dare. You'll lose. Do you want a strong leader like Colonel North or Hillary? That's right. I'm glad you see it my way. With that being said, I'll go back to my boy Stephen Dedalus. SERENITY NOW!!!!!
