Cheerleader On A Bike

Hey, Now

Random Tired Head Thoughts

  • Back in the hotel. Managed to get home in time to watch the end of the Texas - Ohio State game in hotel bar. Good times.
  • In said establishment we're a bunch of 50+ year old Cowboy fans actually wearing Cowboy jerseys. But they seemed well spoken, albeit loudly well spoken, and well groomed. The leader of the bunch had a Bob Lilly jersey on and wouldn't shut up about the virtues of Bob Lilly. I thought about killing him.
  • Walked down to the Jacksonville Station to get some food only to find out that all the food court places were closed. However, a dance club, a popular one, was in full gear so I got to watch a bunch of folks walk towards it dressed to kill. Triple good times.
  • The Riverwalk here on the St. John's is spectacular. But it may be the break up capital of the world. Along the way I saw the following people on a cell phone: (1) One 50 year old guy saying, "I think you should go to sleep and we'll talk about it in the morning," and (2) a pretty hip black guy saying, "Baby, people just grow apart."
  • I thought there was an excellent chance that the Cowboys would be staying here. It's close to the stadium and pretty nice. So far, I haven't seen Bill Parcells' belly in the elevator.

Ugly

It's aleady 20-0 and it's gonna get worse. But this place ia all they said it would be. Except for the part where the drunk gal demanded to share a seat with me. She looked 30 but that is a HARD 30.

Uh oh

This lady's large heart might blow. She is really sweating.

Random thoughts as I wait for the game to begin

- I'm rather high up - you couldn't find a ticket from.a scalper (I got mine earlier through stubhub.com) - I should have invested in short denim skirts because every girl.has one on - I've got 'hollaback girl' blaring in my ear - this part of florida is beautiful - on the way here I saw a 'Men Of God Car Sales' business - And don't think I'm not po'd about UT and Ohio State playing while I'm here - typing on a phone is hard (even with a little keypad)

End Zone Seating

Almost

Uh Oh

Do dark clouds and lightening mean rain? Not-a-good.

[Edit: Amazingly, the storm just passed by without a drop. I'm finding out this is very typical of the weather around here.]

The chances ...

... Of underage drinking is significant. This place is a pre-game Scene.

swamps

They actually have swamps on campus.

Beautiful place

Made it!

Very nice campus. Tons of tailgating going on. Hot. Maybe some hot girls - hadn't noticed.

Where's a man get a chicken sandwich in this place?

I'm Off

(Above pics with a better camera.) Well, I'm off to Gainesville, FL which is suppossed to be about an hour and half down the road. I hate what is coming next the most: Finding the stadium and parking in a foreign land. But I'll get there with a few hours to spare so I can roam around the campus and area. The game, which will probably be a blow out, features the Florida Gators and the Univ. of Central Florida.

Steve Holy

Some guy named Steve Holy was the opening act at Jacksonville Landing last night. Typical "new" country and western. But it was funny when he opened the show with, "I'm from Texas but by looking around I can tell you that all the best looking women are from Florida!" Of course, it was just "play to the crowd" schitck but the crowd loved it. You girls back home, remember that.

One More

There is some outdoor country concert tonight and, from the looks of it, the redneck factor should be raised to 'elevated'.

Not Bad At All

This place.is vibrant and beautiful, even though there is a boat to my left displaying a very large Confederate flag. Where am I again?
