"If you tired, be quiet, and go to sleep!"

I really wish I could sleep right now but for some reason, about once a week, I go into about a 36 hour funk where no matter what it is that I do to try and fall asleep I fail. I know that is the problem(the fact that I am trying to go to sleep)but I get into that deadly cycle and there is no escaping it. I have gotten better over the past few years about staying in a routine, which, I will tell you, is the most important factor in getting good rest. I do always come up with great random ideas when I am up at this hour, like how I am going to start working out again, or how am I am going to stop eating so terribly, but just like the insomnia subsides, so do these "great" ideas unfortunately.

Okay, enough about me let's talk about the Ryder Cup.

I do have to say that I am super impressed with the American Team this 2010 go-round. I know that they got beat but let's be honest about one thing. Golf is probably the biggest global sport in terms of foreigners participation, and America competes head to head with 20 some odd countries from Europe every other year. I mean honestly the USA should get stomped if you really look at the players and the odds. Unfortunately the USA has gotten stomped the previous two Ryder Cups, and by an annoying European captain in Colin Montgomery. He is annoying and sort of a twit but I do have to admit that he was a good golfer and has proven to be a winning captain for the Europeans lately. His counterpart this year, Cory Pavin, did an amazing job I think. I believe that this was the best Ryder Cup team that USA has had in the recent past(excluding the greatest golf comeback of all time in 1997). Okay so the picture that the European camera man got of Tiger Woods "shanking" his chip shot is pretty awesome. There is just something about Tiger that just attracts greatness and great moments.  And this is a great moment for sure. I mean look at all the faces of the people in the crowd. My favorite is the Indian dude smoking a cigar with his brown turban on, he honestly looks like a cartoon character.

Alright it is time to get me some "Mike and Mike" in and get ready for work...
