How to cure your offseason football ailments

It is the eve of the 2009 NBA finals. I hope it is a seven game thriller. To be honest, I'd rather see Melo and Bron Bron go at it. You know, start a true east-west rivalry like Bird and Magic in the '80s. Instead, Kobe and D.Howard had to wreck my hopes and dreams. Either way, basketball, my second favorite sport is being played. After the finals are over, what do I have to do? Of course, I have football to look forward too, but what do I do from mid-June until late August?

I don't own a PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii to play Madden or NCAA football on. I can't stand watching baseball. Track meets come on tv once in every blue moon. What can I do that will entertain me?

Buy a high priced gaming system and play video games that will quickly bore me? Get a girlfriend for the summer time and ditch her once football season starts? Na, that will have serious repercussions and I don't anyone interfering with my football time with the " you sorry piece of manure" line that most women like to tell men after they've been dealt a harsh reality that we don't want them anymore. I can cut one dreadlock off my head one day at a time until they are all gone by August. I can learn Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, etc. I can download the Wale and B.O.B. mixtapes and hear those young cats out. I can watch NFL network until I can't stand Rich Eisen's voice any longer. I can watch NFL live and College Football Live everyday on ESPN.

I honestly don't know what I am going to do. I am faced with this traumatic experience every single year and I make it through. How? I can't remember. Maybe that's how, I drink myself into a two and a half month coma. I could sell my tv and give up the internet so I am totally oblivious to all things until late August and force myself to play catch up on what little news I did miss.

I have no clue what hell I am going to do. So if you all have any suggestions on things I can do for the next two and a half months while I have no meaningful sports to watch please let me know.


Thanks,
