Friday! But not just another ordinary Friday, this is the beginning of Super Bowl weekend! You can go back to my archives and see that I've been rooting for Oakland since week one. Did I say Oakland? I meant the Steelers but once that ship sailed, Oakland seemed like the next logical choice. I like Rich Gannon, if he throws 6 touchdowns on Sunday; I get paid 100 to 1. That's some sweet action! At this point it should be noted that I know less about sports gambling than I do about sports. Still, you have to be in it to win it!

I have an annual tradition at my household.Saturday morning, I get up bright and early, drive down to the old Circuit City and buy a Big Screen TV! My Mom always says -- If you're going to watch the Super Bowl, you need a super screen! Here's the baby I got my eye on this year:

TV for the Super Bowl
As tradition has it, I watch the game on Sunday and return the set on Monday. Circuit City has a great return policy. If you think about it, everybody wins. Oakland all the way! Who will you be rooting for this Sunday? Let me know on my message board.

I need to buy some winter clothes! I froze my butt off walking home last night. My wardrobe never fully recovered from my bleaching accident a few months back. I'll never forget that moment when the bleach hit those colored clothes. Oh the many tragic events that have happened in my life.

I'm going to end it here for today. I'll be back on Monday with stories of betting on sports, lost romance and the heart-breaking story of my yearlong battle with Haagen-Dazs addiction.

God Bless America.
