I MUST be a masochist.....

Looking over many of the things in my life, I've come to the conclusion that I must be a masochist of some pretty tall order.

I mean, let's look at the facts:

I despise people, but I work in Customer Service (Though I think the latter LEADS to the former)

I hate crowds, but I freelance at Airshows and Auto Shows, where I have to wade through literally hundreds of thousands of people on a weekend.

I'm afraid of heights, but go flying and always visit the tallest skyscrapers whenever in a real city.

I don't care a whit about money, I love content and depth.......and I live in a state based upon materialism and appearances.

The kind of woman I'm attracted to is NEVER good for me.

Stupid people are my Kryptonite. Have you SEEN the world we live in???

I am blunt, honest, and outspoken. And am always surrounded by people that expect me to lie to them and be subtle.

I believe in treating people with courtesy. Again, I live in THIS country.

I possibly romanticize the time I spent in Europe, but I long to be there....and I live in FLORIDA, the opposite of everything those times and that place meant to me.


Then again, maybe I just face my fears head on on purpose. Yeah, yeah, THAT sounds better.
You've got it, I can't sleep, again, so the brain's running. That, and I'm stuck on a story and trying a different track to distract myself.

So what about you guys, what kinds of things like this do you notice about yourself?

Sunday will show all

Ok, You ALL know I'm a lifelong Broncos fan. (Well, thereabouts. I was like 5 when I started rooting for them, so...lol).

You also know I never miss a game on TV (or, if possible, in person) if I can at all help it.

You also all know that I like Tim Tebow as an athlete and as a locker-room presence for the team. (No, I am not and will NEVER get into the religion aspect of the man. Faith/Belief?spirituality/religion are private things not to be aired in public, in my opinion. I don't even joke about that....exe with Fritz...'cause he starts it :P)

So, you know how I feel about him as a QB.

I'm not going to gripe about the media circus, though...well...I've done enough about that.

But, come Sunday versus The New England Patriots (thanks to my family, my second team), we will really see what kind of a TEAM we have in the Denver Broncos.

I've been watching a lot of the Pats the past few weeks. Their pass Defense has more holes than a volleyball net. We should be able to pass on them with impunity.

Oh. Right.

We ALL know Brady likes to chuck it for yardage, and, if he racks up three touchdowns against us in the first 3 quarters, we're gonna be hosed. (Our biggest come from behind win was one Steve and I were in the house for, the 15pt 5min comeback against Miami).

Honestly, no matter WHO we've had behind center, my beloved Broncos have been in TOO MANY close games. Wih the exeption of three (The Orton loss to GB, the Tebow loss to DET and the win over OAK), every game this season has been decided by less than a touchdown.

Yup, we could be 10-2 right now. Or 1-11. And when did we start winning???

EEEHHHHH. Wrong.

When the DEFENSE stepped up. Credit where credit is due, people. Orton OR Tebow, when our defense plays badly, we get killed. (Need I remind everyone, Kyle Orton went 6-0 his first six games for Denver as well)

Scores thus far:

Week 01

Let's face it, with the exception of Green Bay and Detroit, NONE of the teams we've played, and CERTAINLY none we've beat, are playoff contenders this year. And there hasn't been a single game that the Broncos dominated on offense. So, yeah, if/when we hit the playoffs, it will be because we're the luckiest team in the worst division of the AFC this year. Let's be honest about it. If Tebow were as great as everyone is stating, we wouldn't HAVE to claw back from behind in almost every freaking game.

So...we shall see on Sunday.

But I'm not going to make ANY bets with Carie, Selina, Robin, Alyson, Nellie, or Dave because I am not masochistic :P

(And, by some fluke if we WIN...I'll not post messages to any of them, either. I'm a football fan, not a jackass.)

THAT being said, I DO watch the game of pro football a LOT, so I'm positive we will lose, just as I was against GB. (Ask Ryan R if you don't believe me lol)

All that aside...GO BRONCOS.
