Day: September 8, 2003

How quickly I get bored. I was very excited about this layout when I first completed it, but it’s already grown tiresome to me. The more I surf various sites, the more I see well put-together designs that make me despise my own. I hope to work on it some tonight before the game. My to-do list goes something like this:

1. Modify color scheme and layout to account for my ever changing taste.
2. Finish style-sheet to account for all elements on the site.
3. Add new link categories and add all appropriate sites.
4. Decide on a (somewhat) permanent name for the site (“indieb0i rantings” was too hackneyed, “indieb0i prattle” didn’t sound good, and the jury is still out on just leaving it “neverhood.net”)
5. Re-write the About me! page and give it a good name.
6. Update my gallery like crazy!

And I think that’s everything.

I hate to use such a clich? as a subject, but my subjects have been lame lately anyway. Tonight is the night I’ve been awaiting for 8 months. The Bucs return to Philly, and the Eagles have the chance to open the new season in a new stadium with a firm statement that they are going to the Super Bowl this year. Of course, there’s also the chance that more questions are raised concerning their personnal changes. I truly believe that (underdogs or not) it is within their power to win this game. But there is a certain sense of trepidation in the air. Since Derrick Burgess went down for the season again, I am truly torn on what this team can do. I find myself waivering between the ideas that either this is their year, or injuries will prevent them from living up to their potential. They looked great the first 2 preseason games, yet played the two at home rather weakly. They recovered from their offseason losses on defense only to have 3 of 5 DE’s go down with injuries. A lot of people are saying the Bucs look like the best candidate for a repeat in a while – 4 wins in a row against them just don’t add up to that one loss. I don’t think I can say anymore about the game until later tonight.
