Game Day in the 'burgh...

Well Stevie baby, it's here, again, the big game in the 'burgh....not that it really tweaks MY twiddle, but everybody ELSE around here is already freaking out.  In fact, they are already planning a "welcome home winners"parade for Monday.  A bit presumptuous, but they don't seem to have any concept of "what if the Steelers LOSE..." so I can't really go around SAYING anything like that without fear for my life.

I guess if Pittsburgh didn't have sports, the whole city would suck with nothing else to do.  I mean, sure they've got the Warhol Museum, which was pretty cool...hey, wanna see the video I took of Pete, standing in the Warhol Museum's silver balloon room...?  I don't really know what the big thrill was for Warhol to have a bunch of mylar balloons floating all about, but okay, whatever "floats" your boat I guess.  But, here it is....

Anyway, so if I didn't have to be stuck in this city, I certainly wouldn't be.  I mean, I wasn't exactly thrilled with living in DC either, it's a very stressful place to live.  The cost of living is outrageous, and people are just rude and obnoxious. Traffic sucks too.  Hmmm, from what I've been told, DC is much like LA!!  (I thought LA was disappointing actually, especially Hollywood). I liked San Francisco better.

I think maybe the biggest difference between the two places, however, is probably the ratio of conservatives vs. liberals.  I've always said I was born in the wrong decade, and I also believe I live in the wrong part of the world.  I have also said I'm a "proactive person" in a "reactive world."  I'm one of those peace loving liberals, a bleeding heart, empathic, compassionate....to a fault.  But I live in a place where that is unheard of.  The number of hate groups is ridiculous over here on the east coast, but isn't that ironic due to the fact that the Pilgrims landed here to start a new world?  They even learned a lot from the Native Americans who were here before them.  They got along just fine.  So....what the hell happened??

No matter how much I study World History or the Holocaust, or even linguistics of our country, the more I don't understand. I've always been one of those annoying kids who had to KNOW the answers to everything.  I believed then that everything HAD an answer.  I know now that there are some things that can never be answered.  I used to think I would come up with all kinds of different answers and solve some of the world's problems.  Talk about being presumptuous!

Well, I'm off to get some wings and football food ready for the game...

STEELERS WILL WIN you know. Hope you got the memo!!

Love, Rebecca
