Who do you honestly think will make it to Super Bowl? And who do you think will win? I hate Dallas and Patriots and hope either don't make it to Super Bowl (wishful thinking)... Although they are doing really good I think the Pats had an easy schedule :P At this point, I want Colts and Packers to go to Super Bowl, and I don't mind which one wins, although I am leaning towards Packers just cuz it may be Favre last season....
January 22, 2008 at 9:02amThis is good match up. I like G-Men chances !! although I have to root for Pats since they have most Gators on their roster :-)

Maybe I am too picky and will never be romantically interested in anybody, but did we get short-changed or what?! (Especially us South Asian women. There are many South Asian beauties out there, but come on, how many cuties?) My cousin is facing a similar challenge overseas. I guess I am destined to be a spinster. I don't care. Romance is for fools anyway. {read everything I wrote with a grain of salt--or not}

It was not some kind of conspiracy theory he had but a conclusion drawn from historical lessons and a careful reading of the international scene. Never has a country received so much international attention, and never has L... Read More
