Remember that Subway commercial where Reggie Bush tells the kid to stay hungry and eat the sandwich? Well, I ate the sandwich and I am no longer hungry. I am that dog that has lived through one too many thunderstorms and has decided to lie down save for trips to the bathroom and to get water. I was just doing some research for my team(s) and I thought to myself, “Who are these guys?” Seriously. Who in the underworld are these people? Who is Jeremy MacLin? Who is Miles Austin Collie? Who is Hakeem Nicks? Is he related to that singer chick from the 80’s. I don’t know. I don’t know and I don’t care. Fantasy football can go fly a kite! It is a young man’s game and I am no longer a young man.

So, go on with all your hopes and dreams of fantasy football glory. Just show me that same excitement when your team loses in the finals for four straight years and you could have purchased a new car with all the winnings you barely missed out on because it was windy in Chicago and it snowed in Cleveland.

In other news, I love, love, LOVE the remake of this song and everything about this video. In particular, the backup singer at around five and a half minutes has to be an angel. You must watch this.

This is not the end here at this grave
This is just a hole that someone made
Every hole was made to fill
And every heart can feel it still–
Our nature hates a vacuum

This is not the hardest part of all
This is just the seed that has to fall
All our lives we till the ground
Until we lay our sorrows down
And watch the sky for rain

There is more
More than all this pain
More than all the falling down
And the getting up again
There is more
More than we can see
From our tiny vantage point
In this vast eternity

Ringing all the bells inside of you
Like a golden sky on a summer eve
Your heart is tugging at your sleeve
And you cannot say why
There must be more

“I am seriously hurting over a recent breakup… I feel empty. I feel sad, and angry. I’m not feeling happy whatsoever. My life is at a very positive point right now. Things are going well for me. But I don’t want to continue to succeed alone. I can’t even think of my interests at this point to even keep me busy, I feel somewhat desperate… any advice?” – Brighteyes Yahoo! Answers post

There is more
More than we can stand
Standing in the glory
Of a love that never ends
There is more
More than we can guess
More and more, forever more
And not a second less

There is more than what the naked eye can see
Clothing all our days with mystery
Watching over everything
Wilder than our wildest dreams
Could ever dream to be
There is more…
