Super Bowl 2018
Super Bowl 2018, or also called Super Bowl LII in roman numerals (52 for those of you calling it "Super Bowl Lee") will be played on February 4th, 2018.
The game will be played in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the U.S. Bank Stadium. Kind of a weird name for a stadium, but hey, it will bring in bank, I'm sure.
This game will be a match up between the AFC Champion New England Patriots, perennial favorites, and the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Patriots By Six

Valentines Day Already?
Just before Christmas, someone said to me "Watch, day after Christmas the Valentines day sh*t will be puked all over the insides of the stores, just watch". While /I didn't disagree, I thought there would be a few day lag between two monstrous commercial events, but they were right. By the 26th, Cupid had vomited copious volumes of Valentines day stuff. Everywhere.

Happy New Year
Now that Christmas has passed, or the 1st half of the holidays (Holy Days?), the phrase "Happy New Year" will be on all our tongues. No more Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, or for you Seinfeld fans out there, Joyous Festivus. It will just be day to day life once again, what, with the dearth of cheery, and obnoxious carols, ditties, written to evoke a feeling of a season, as well as guilting folks into a false celebration of the birth a couple thousand years ago, which in all likelihood did not occur in December. Before the hate mail starts, I believe the birth occurred, but not on the date we celebrate. This, in a way, erases much of the authenticity of the event celebrated, in my opinion. Or does it? for me, the uttering of Happy New Year sort of puts the "season" behind us, what with all it's false (and some genuine) "good will for all man kind" nonsense.
New year's eve and day are more honest holidays, plain and simple, which I'll get to is just a moment, but in the mean time, Happy New Year!
What do we celebrate?

California Dreaming
The phrase "California Dreaming" can mean a whole lot of things. Here we'll we'll point out some of them, as well as point out that California really isn't much of a dream any longer. It's more of a nightmare, a horror show of Hollywood proportions.
California Dreaming's Genesis
Per Wikipedia, the phrase starts in 1849, and is similar in a way to the phrase "The American dream," except with the American Dream you work hard, but a home, preferably with some acreage, prosper and die, and leave it all behind for your heirs.
Wikipedia:
"California Dream is the psychological motivation to gain fast wealth or fame in a new land. As a result of the California Gold Rush after 1849, California's name became indelibly connected with the Gold Rush, and fast success in a new world became known as the "California Dream.""
So, it short, California was a novel Get Rich Quick scheme, or the idea of that anyway. Many did, and many others did not. So, what you're dreaming of is quick money in your coin purse. However, California had much more to offer than just material wealth.
