A Weekend Ruined

...By sickness.

I never missed school growing up because I never seemed to get sick. I never missed any college classes due to sickness. Well, if you takeaway hangovers, that is - I definitely missed class a couple of times because I had way too much fun the night before. And I definitely missed a few classes simply because I didn't want to go. But I'm getting off topic.

As a sports fan, this weekend was supposed to be epic. With the BCS bowl games and the NFL playoff games as well as some Creighton basketball games on FS1, I was prepared to be in the sports zone all weekend.

Instead, I wasted away in bed, praying to God to let me live for just another 24 hours and re-evaluate my situation from there.

So what does this mean in terms of collecting and this blog?

It means that contrary to what I told a few people interested in working out a trade, I wasn't able to pull any cards or sort any of my newly acquired Heritage cards and sort out my needs for those sets. I updated my 2013 Bowman Chrome and 2013 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects needs this morning, however; I sorted through all of those Friday afternoon before my near death experience.

I'm working as hard as I can to get caught up, but it may take me a few days. I am really am sorry to those who I spoke with about trades last week, and I'm doing my best to get to a point where I'm ready to roll.

So I offer this video as tribute. You will most likely find it stupid, but I find it hilarious. This video (and a few more like it) were precursors to Adult Swim's "China, IL".
