Oh, World, I am sick of it.

World, I am stuck here studying for finals and all I can think about are the following:
1. The Michigan Coach Search--What a distraction. I keep refreshing every sports page or Michigan blog out there in the hopes of finding a new nugget of information about what is going on. This is a completely useless endeavor because as soon as any "news" breaks, another story follows within minutes refuting the prior story. Miles is coming. Miles isn't coming. Yes he is! NO HE'S NOT! YES HE IS!! SERIOUSLY, HE IS NOT. Okay but I heard Mike Ditka has agreed to terms. I know that nothing is fact until it someone has signed their name on the dotted line but I have to know what is going on. I know there are things happening behind closed doors so just tell me. I promise I will not leak the information to anyone, especially not to OSU alum on national sports programs.

2. Christmas--It is everywhere; on TV, the radio, online, in my living room and all I can think about is if Santa will finally bring me my official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock. To update that to modern terms I want the following modest gifts:
a. A computer
b. a cool remote controlled car
c. a playhouse for the kids
d . my favorite baseball card ever
e. a fun board game
f. a gift card for something cool
g. a cool trip
h. a new tv
i. summer toys
j. a cool get away spot

3. Food--Let's face it, I always think about food.
4. The writer's strike--Okay we get it. Writers want more money and the executives don't want to give it to them. All I know is that as soon as Kiefer gets out of jail, the new season of 24 had better be on the air and run non stop. Lost also has to be on or there will be hell to pay. Hell I say. HELL!

Well I have to hit the books again. Happy Birthday Jim.
