I think the hardest part about starting one of these blogs is figuring out what exactly I want to do with it. Do I make it political, and if so, should it be just local Philly politics or national? Do I dare tackle the present administration or the war and risk not being able to get on another airplane ever again? How personal should I be? I've heard that potential employers Google your name when they do the background check. What if they Google me and find out that I think the Vice President is really the Sith Lord Darth Sidious? Will that keep me from the cubicle of my dreams? Of course, if they did Google me, they'd probably come up with this fellow. Helluva player, so I've heard.
Anyway, I've decided that this will be more or less a weekly recap of everything that's passed by me during the week (condensed, of course). I'll be giving my view on everything from politics to sports to my current on-going job search, just to give whoever reads this (and if there are readers, God bless) a different perspective. Not promising the second coming of Dailykos or anything, but hey, it's a start.
So, to recap:
Flyers 2, Bruins 1 - No doubt, this was ugly. Thank goodness Bergeron is fine and moving. It's unfortunate that people seem to just focus on incidents like this and not on the fact that this team is really good, but that's the media for you.
This is just fantastic. It was only a matter of time before the war in Iraq spilled over the borders. The worst part is that apparently, Kurdish Iraq was doing well. Or, at least that's what we've been told. It'd be interesting to see how exactly this incursion is spun in the MSM, if it even gets mentioned over here.
Link of the week belongs to my friend Anthony McMahon and his baby. Definitely liked the pictures with the birthday cake. The Mets uniform, not so much. At least he's too young to remember this season, poor guy.
That's it for now. As I said, this will get better. I hope...

Bears 19, Eagles...oh boy...
Still having trouble over this one.
I give Andy Reid a lot of credit for trying to get through what has got to be one of the most difficult thing any parent can face. And, to be fair, he wasn't the one who let Mushin Muhammed get behind the defense and catch the winning score from Brian F*$%#* Griese. But I do believe that he needs to step aside for awhile and get things in order. We'll understand, hell anyone would given the situation. It'd be nice if the players would step up and say "Hey, let's take some of the heat off Andy and go beat teams we're better than instead of going three and and out and letting Brian F*&&^$* Griese drive 97 yards with less than 2:00 left and NO TIMEOUTS REMAINING." Be nice, wouldn't it? Unbelievable, first Kaz Matsui kills my Phillies and now this. Normally I'd pin my hopes on the Flyers at this point, but I'm not jinxing this yet.

And away we go...
Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a bit late to the whole blog thing. Never really saw the need for one, I suppose. But I figured since I spend most of my time reading other people's opinions, it was time to get mine out. So here goes...
I'm Jay. My full name is Jason, but that sounds too formal, like something my parents or professors would use. So, just Jay. I'm living outside of Philly for the moment. Used to live in Maryland while going to school there, but circumstances forced me back into the old country (more on that later). It's a bit weird being back here, I don't mind telling you. It's hard to put into words, but after living away from home for so long, I don't really feel like this is me anymore. It was great growing up as a kid out here, but those days are done. And there's no sense in trying to redo them or relive them.
This blog will basically be your window into one of the most complicated, convoluted, and cynical minds of the 21st century. Given that the century is only eight years old, that's not saying much. However, I do feel that there's not enough young, black, certifiably insane voices out here on the Interwebs, so I figured I'd add mine to the mix. Let's just get some basics out of the way...
Sports - Anything Philly, plus the Maryland Terrapins, Arsenal FC
Politics - Independent and proud of it, son...
Occupation - None at the moment. You'd think it would be easy for a history major to find meaningful work. I mean, everyone loves history, right? Right??? Do you want the tall latte or the grande?
Anyway, that's the bare bones of it. This will get better, I promise. And if it doesn't, well, go read someone else's blog, why doncha?
