The 2008 Padres Prediction Post
While the 2007 Padres Prediction Post was remarkably accurate in it’s final result (predicted number of wins 90, actual number of wins 89) I have decided to attempt a different strategy in calculating the Padres regular season record for 2008.
Last year my strategy was to compare the 2007 Padres to the 2006 Padres are see where the improvements and regressions might be.

And then it came… “Yes, we can, the opportunity and prosperity.”
um ok? Don’t we have that? Don’t we have limitless opportunities and prosperity that is the envy of billions of others?

Inspiration can only get you so far. Give me substance. Read the rest of this entry »

What I learned from the CNN debates and my CC poetry class
In my entry, I consider myself reasonably intelligent, I stated that I simply don’t understand Haiku. Well after you read this post you’ll agree; and you’ll probably think I don’t understand politics either.
Enjoy…
