I've Got Nothing

I have nothing interesting to write about. I'm gonna do my Nicholas Fehn impression and just give you my skewed view of things.

I'm glad American Idol's ratings weren't that good. It's amazing how long America's fascination with singing competitions has lasted. Is this the beginning of the end? It has to be, right?

I saw the year end ratings top ten recently, and it was something like this:

1. American Idol
2. American Idol Results Show
3. Dancing With the Stars
4. Dancing With the Stars Results Show
5. America's Got Talent

That is a sad, sad list. I never would've imagined that America would be this interested in watching mediocrity. It's also interesting to note that this has coincided with the decline of the music industry as a whole and the rise of Lana Del Rey appearances on SNL. Nothing makes sense!

I watched the debate tonight. I'm hoping for a Newt march to victory. He proposed to his second wife while still married to his first, he proposed to his third wife while still married to his second. He broke up with the first wife after she got cancer, and broke up with the second after she found out she had multiple sclerosis. And this is the best the Republicans have to offer! Fascinating.

My question is: what does the job of governing Texas entail? It can't be much. I'm sure that's been said before but it can't be emphasized enough how dumb Rick Perry is.

The 49ers somehow are in the NFC Championship game this weekend, and I'm conflicted. I love them, I want them to win, but I don't really understand how this has happened. Also, I feel the same way about Alex Smith that I feel about Tim Tebow. He's not an NFL quarterback. So this winning season is great, but I fear it will mean 5 more wasted years with Alex Smith.

It's so odd how winning makes all the weaknesses disappear. The media can't fathom that a team wins despite someone sucking. And that's what the niners have done. They have the 29th ranked passing offense in the league, and they are the league's worst in the red zone. And yet, you know, because of how far they've reached, they're gonna go with the same crap ass QB next year. That's hard for me to stomach.

I've been back working on season 4. Hard to believe we're on the 4th season. This is now officially the most episodes of one show I've ever worked on. It's gone by in a blur of nut shots and puke.

I'm really enjoying "Revenge". I don't know if it's good TV, it's probably rather stupid, but it keeps me entertained. They're finally realizing the fact that the guy who plays Conrad Grayson is only good at playing a bad guy. He has no range except for "evil". He has to be a dick in real life.

Why is NBC doing that thing in the "Smash" promos where they go "and introducing Katharine McPhee". Yeah, um, she was on the biggest TV show in the world. Smash is going to get a quarter of those ratings. You're not introducing her, you're ruining her career.

Okay, have to go to sleep now...

The 49ers played a near perfect game and barely won. The Saints played a horrific game and were 9 seconds from winning.

So, going forward, Alex Smith is going to have to play out of his mind to beat the best teams in the NFL. An average game from him and it's over.

Revenge is entertaining. Madeleine Stowe is one HOT 53 year old woman. Emily VanCamp (Emily Thorne) gets sexier with each show. Good characters, good acting, decent plot ... one of my favorites of this season’s new series.

Newt has both his, and someone else’s, share of audacity. Perry might be a bigger idiot than GWB, thank God he’s out of the race. I hope that Ron Paul runs as an Independent ... I’d consider voting for him over Romney or Obama.

Alex Smith is a second-tier qb, just like Flacco and Romo. Vernon Davis would be all world if he had Peyton, Brees or Brady throwing to him.

Texas entrusts significant responsibility on the shoulders of the Lieutenant Governor. Being the top guy is actually pretty easy.

a.smith is a game manager (for 16 weeks, because he has one of the NFL's best running games) who has made huge throws late big in games two weeks in a row.

7 offensive coordinators in 7 years. NEVER an offensive minded head coach... until now. get over your montana and young spoiled years.

Think objectively, like you normally do, and realize you guys have a good QB.


4th qt shoot out with Eli... game on. 9er's roll.
