I have captured yet again another fantasy football victory. I will be 9-3 by tonight and everyone in my league probably hates me for it. I am in first place and am third in points, although I will move into second in points by tonight. I must say that fantasy football is one of the funnest hobbies out there. When you do your live draft in late August on Yahoo, the adrenaline gets pumpin and you feel what every stock broker feels on Monday morning, what every gambler feels when they place their bets, and what every sky-diver feels seconds before they jump. OK, maybe the sky-diver bit is an exaggeration. But you get the point. There is so much uncertainty about what will take place because you are at the mercy of the players and their conditions, but there is so much curiosity as to how things will work out. And it is all extracurriclar. You pay nothing to play and you get no money to win, which is quite liberating. It’s all about the props for playing your cards right. There are no bluffs and you can do all the reseach in the world and still get shelled. Everyone has their own strategy and everyone wants props. Hmmm hmmm. If you hate sports then it’s hard to understand why fantasy football is like the most popular thing since the invention of the television. Even my girl will get into with me and look up stats and tell who’s doing what. It’s a blast…especially when you’re winning.

However, fantasy football can waste a lot of time. I’ve done very little school this semester because of work, and fantasy stuff doesn’t help. I’m getting into the last two weeks of the semester and I need to strap down and get some work done. I’m missing Kalila and she’s getting crunched as the end of her semester too. I’m really thirsty for the Lord too. Gosh I need to pray more and seek him more. It’s all about perspective.
