Strange title, interesting post. Today I'm making pizza for my folks and Cody and Dena. Then we'll be exchanging gifts. I've got some great gifts for everybody. I think they might have a clue, but that's ok. I hope everything fits and nothing stinks...common ailments of internet buying. I think they have a present for me. I'm not sure what it is. Although I think they found it in a store.


I'm stuck inside because of my health. I wonder if I would have more energy if I drank less coffee. Probably would have more energy. It doesn't help looking at expensive Mtg cards, although I'm keeping in a positive mindset. I'm looking forward to dinner and presents. I sort of realized that Wizards isn't going to print Vintage Masters and I'm not going to have the money to buy the Power 9. But that's ok because I can make highly competitive vintage decks without them or simply print proxies to play with. I'll be dedicating the entire sideboard of most of my creature decks to anticounterspell. It's really hard to stay competitive when you're expecting counterspells 1 minute and creature attack the next. I think I'll just operate as though a "Leyline of the Lifeforce" had been cast at the beginning of every game. That will give me the freedom to build vintage creature decks. Although many combos and support spells won't work, the basic creature builds will still be in force. They (Wizards) should really consider printing a functionally identical card with different name as "Leyline of the Lifeforce." With just 4 more copies in every sideboard it could drastically cut down the number of blue decks and increase the combos and creature interaction. Just a thought though.


And if you think Magic the Gathering is a bunch of hooey then let me tell you 1 thing. It's not as bad as it seems. It's deep strategy and colorful art make it a delight to play and collect. Don't you know, I would trade my whole card collection for my health any day. Too bad it doesn't work like that. I can see it now...TAKE THIS MAGIC CARD MY SON...NOW BURN IT...YOU ARE HEALED. hahahhahahahhahahahahahhahalololololololololohahahhahahhahahhahhahahahlolololololololololol
hahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahah


I already took a 5 minute nap, but I think I'll take another. I'm no good when I'm half asleep and sleazy and achy. I really wish I could help with things around the house. But I don't know what is being done. And frankly, I'm too sick and tired to care. I do have to clean my toilet and do a load of laundry. Maybe I can get those 2 things done, and make dinner, and wrap presents. But that's asking a lot.


We will have a nice dinner and presents though.
