as my title suggests, yes, i am totally random. but hopefully in the quagmire of all the thoughts that pour in one ear and out the other, i hope to learn more about me, and grow as a person and as an artist.

The quest for perfection

the Greatest
Normally, I would be ecstatic that an underdog won the superbowl. But, I'm finding it hard to believe that I'm sad that the Patriots lost. My favorite team in the world is the San Francisco 49ers! I've been a fan since 1982 when Joe Montana called Sprint Roll Right and instead of finding Freddie Soloman open, he threw a ball 9 ft into the air only to come down in the fingers of Dwight Clark. Right there began my relationship with my favorite sports team of all time. Through the Good and the current Bad, I'm a fan. Watching the Patriots play kinda reminds me of how the 49ers of old play. I guess in my warped sense of a parallel universe, the likeness of that 49ers manifests itself in the dominant Patriot team of this 2007 season. Perfect west coast offense. Amazing use of every player on the offense. Dink the ball here. Dink the ball there. And methodically move the ball down field to win the American Football World Championship, which they did with 2:24 left to play in the game. What I didn't count on was for the Giants to do exactly the same thing.

What even surprised me was that I wanted a blow out! 42-14 was my predicted score. Not even close. But if they did win by that margin, it would have validated that a team still had that killer instinct to prepare for the ultimate game to the point that no matter what team was in front of them, they would have played to Perfection. That's what I miss with the 49ers - much the same way they won the Superbowls against the Broncos and the Chargers. Total domination. *sigh*

Oh well... this is a blog entry out of left field, but something that rattled around that needed to get out.
