    So, I wake up on Sunday at about 8:30, and I realize that my parents decided now to wake me up for church, which is very odd becuase we go almost every Sunday. I then go to turn on my T.V. in my room, and it won't turn on. I look around my room and I notice that my IHome is also not on, so I have just realized that my power is out. So I decide to think positively and tell myself that, "Oh it'll be on in a few hours, no big deal." My mom and I call DTE (our energy provider) and the estimate they give us is that our power will be back on by 11. So I was like, "Oh that's just perfect, I won't miss any football today :hi5:." Well, it comes to be 11 o'clock and no power is on, so I talk my mom into calling again. This time DTE cannot provide an estimate. So this is the point where I started to get a little worried. Now, I live in Michigan, on 40 acres of land, so I decided that I would go outside and play a little basketball, maybe throw around the football a little bit while I waited to get some power back. I come back inside and it's about 1:30, and still no power, so I am getting really impatient so my mom gets a clock radio that has a battery backup and I listen to the Detroit Lions game till about 3:15. So now I call my girl friend (in the avatar :shifty:) and we were talking all day up to this point as well via texting, but I call her and I ask if I can come over to watch the Dolphins game, and she tells me, "Oh no I don't think so becuase I'm going to a spa with my mom for her birthday so I don;t think you can unless you want to watch it with my dad." And i passed on that offer, so I then called my best friend and ask him if he was doing anything and thankfully he just got done eating at Red Robin (which is by my house) and he swung by and picked me up so I could watch the Dolphins game. And thankfully I got to see the whole Dolphins game at his house, and I ended spending the night at his house becuase my power didn't come on until about 6 that evening :pity:

    But it was all worth it to see the Dolphins crowned AFC East Champs! :knucks:

    You missed a good chance at male bonding (and an uncomfortable array of questions) bro.

    Yeah, well he's a pretty cool guy, I mean he's a football fan so whenever we talk it's usually just about football, so it's not too bad.

    That's always been one of my worries on game days. I was sweating on the Sunday morning of the Chiefs game because it was raining/snowing outside and we had no satellite signal. Thankfully it went back on around 11:30, well before kickoff and I didn't miss anything.
