It’s been a while since I’ve actually posted anything. There are reasons for that.

First off, the weekly football picks have been off for the last two weeks. Originally, it was because of the vacation we took - Internet access in the Poconos was rare, and as it turns out, quite costly.

The second week, I haven’t really had any excuse, except for the fact that I didn’t feel like doing them. Understand that I’ve been trying to do the picks in a more exact fashion by taking spreads from Vegas on Sunday morning then making my picks. I also try to throw in comments to make you understand why I’m picking these teams; I guess I want to prove that I’m not completely picking them out of my ass. The process takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour (depending on where my attention span is), and I usually don’t have that kind of time at home to sit down and work like that. That’s why my attempt at NaNoWriteMo is failing so miserably. If I took all the content I’ve written for one reason or another in November and counted the words, it might add up to 50k by the time November is over, but I don’t think that’s what NaNoWriteMo’s all about.

Anyway, this coming weekend (for me, weekends are Sunday-Monday now) is pretty big, for reasons I’m not letting onto right now. There are reasons for this - I’m not being vague just for the sake of mystery. Let’s just say that if all goes well, I’m going to be a lot happier and have more time on my hands to do what I want.

I’ll have picks (without the commentary) either today or tomorrow. I want to see if I can keep up my record (these past two weeks have been good for me to stay away from).
