February is one of the most annoying months to say out loud. It is also kind of a freak month (having the fewest days). Here are some things i don't get/like about Febraury as it currently stands.
* Why does it only have 28 (or 29 days)? There are 7 months with 31 days, couldn't 2 of them be downgraded to 30 days? It would make more sense (at least to me).
* i am not a big fan of leap year either. Apparently that occurs because the Earth's revolution takes about 365 days and 6 hours (wikipedia.org). i would rather be "off" by a couple of days that remember that most 4 year periods will have a leap year. The calendar is not exactly infallable anyway.
February is a stupid month name. i propose eliminating the first "R". Most people don't pronounce it anyway. Lets anglicize the month name a little more.

Febraury Snow Storm
So i'm a little late with this post. There was a snowstorm here on Friday and Saturday. The snow storm, happening in February, was given the highly original name "Febraury Snow Storm".
Super Bowl 2012: My Reaction
So the Super Bowl is over (big deal in the US). Two football teams (the US version) played each other in a relatively boring game. So how did i feel about this sloppily played Super Bowl?
* This was Super Bowl XLVI (or 46). After a while using Roman Numerals gets kind of pretentious. i guess this might be the only real use for Roman Numerals anymore.
* New York vs. Boston - i can't think of two cities i dislike more. San Francisco vs Boston would have been better.
* Commericals: too many car commercials (though the best commercial in my opinion was the Ferris Bueller one that leaked before the Super Bowl). For the most part, the commercials sucked.
* Football (american) is one of the games i consider kind of boring. i mean the sheer amount of time they spend killing the clock is insane. You have to love sports when you have a one game championship or playoff (sarcastic)
* The game was played fairly sloppy. It wasn't that exciting of a game (though the game was decided by 4 points concluding in a last second chance to change the outcome).

Losery Post of Loserdom: Videos Watched This Month
i may not be the most loosery guy here (or maybe i am). However, i decided to make a post of wasted time. Maybe i have too much time on my hands - or any other number of strange cliches.

The $2 PowerBall Ticket
This refers to the mutli-state lottery game in the US called PowerBall. i know i have numerous foreign hits - so bear with me...
Starting January 15, 2011, changes to PowerBall's odds and payouts will be enacted. i was wondering if the new matrix would be a better deal. It turns out that the cost increasing from $1 to $2 had a big impact on my results. i decided to compare MegaMillions, PowerBall (now) and PowerBall (January 15, 2011 and after).

My 2012 Resolutions
So, another year has started (after an annoyingly bad 2011). If Hollywood is correct, it could be one of the last years for humanity (i think the movie timeframe for the start of the calamity is between July 28 - August 11th).
No, i do not believe in resolutions as they are mostly a form of self-delusion. However, in that mold i decided to make a couple.
1) Win at least $30 million after taxes in the lottery - spending less than $150 on lottery tickets on the year
- if win lottery a bunch of other "resolutions" become active - like purchase a house
2) Video Games: increasing gamerscore to at least 37,000 (currently at 34K+, if i win lottery increase to 100K)
3) Save at least $555 during the year
4) Sleep away at least 20% of the year
