New in the .journal: .org.3 part 2: Things are gonna change so fast. I finally get a chance to talk about the big x-factor in my life the past year, and tell you all why I may actually be looking to stay in Toledo for a couple of more years here.

I’m in the middle of writing the next .journal, but I’ve got a confession to make here: I’ve had a real hard time getting homework done these past thirty hours because I’ve been so busy reading up on what all the pundits have been saying about the Bengals. You have to remember, I only became a Bengals fan after their last playoff appearance, so I’ve been dealing with over a decade of frustration here with no memories of happier times. Now all of a sudden…
New on Backwash: “Plain Fiction”. More of my musings on life after UT, and whether or not going on to get my MFA is the right choice for me.
Ladies and gentlemen, your first-place Cincinnati Bengals!!! Holy crap, the Browns game was on Fox so I got to see it too … wow. I’m actualy considering heading to campus this evening just so I can watch SportsCentre and how they react to it. Like I’ve always said, being a true sports fan is sticking with your team through good times and bad, and after so many bad times the past twelve years, the Bengals are finally back, baby.
Okay, so at this point who hasn’t predicted that the Bengals will upset the Chiefs on Sunday? If the Bengals win now, can it really be considered an upset? (By the way, all this attention is pretty much a guarantee that they won’t win, so don’t look for me to be paying too much attention to the game.)
