Athletes are idiots, sports writers can't write, houses are overpriced and other amusing observations!

Antonio Bryant, a wide receiver for the 49ers was cited for drunk driving and speeding at speeds in excess of 100 mph while driving his Lamboughini. Idiot!

A writer for the Fresno Bee, in an article about the Fresno State Men's Basketball team made the brilliant observation that the team is off to its best start since the 2004-2005 season, wow, a whole one season in between. Good work!

CNN released a list of the top 10 overpriced major metroploitan housing markets in the country. 8 of the 10 markets were in California including the 9th ranked Fresno are where only 7% of people can actually afford the houses they are purchasing. I liked the top 10 affordable list personally, which ranged from between 80% - 90% affordability, houses averaged $80,000 - $140,000. Can you say, "I am ready to move."

I ordered a textbook for my Economics course I am currently taking, paid for overnight shipping. Should have recieved it today. Didn't. I am pissed because I paid $17.00 for overnight shipping and now with the holiday I will not recieve the text until Friday. They better refund my overnight shipping charges.

I find it kind of funny, although I know I would be upset if it happened at my house, however there are reports of people playing the new Nintendo Wii who have thrown their controller by accident and it has broken their television screen.

Matt Hughes got his butt kicked this weekend in UFC action. Finally about time the cocky ass lost. I don't think I have ever seen a fight where so many people cheered when the champion got knocked out.

In a related note Pride Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko will defend his title against Mark Hunt at Pride’s Shockwave show on New Year's Eve.

Madison said, "Hi Da Da" when I got home today. It is the first time she has strung toghether words that were recognizable, she has really been chatting alot lately in her own language, so I hope she begins talking soon. I really think Austin was already talking when he was her age.

Oh well, class is about out. I guess it is time to go and put the children to bed. Everyone have a good Thanksgiving.
