So, I will. And it is NOT about how much of a Moron Roger Clemens is or how much of a Moron he must think we all are. I mean, COME ON...do you honestly believe that we are going to think that you think that taking steroids gives you a 3rd ear on your forehead???? WHAT??? And you called a guy and taped the conversation after he asked to call his son WHO IS DYING!! I just don't know what to think about this guy. Anyway....I digress a little.
I am not going to rant on how boring the BCS bowls were and how much better we would all be off if they would just grow up and have a playoff system. Nope, I will not rant about how ridiculous and ubsurd this is. I mean every other sport has a playoff and because of some tradition the fan never gets to watch competitive Championships. Nope, we never get to an actual champion. Man that makes me want to rant...but I digress.
I am not going to rant about how sick of the Presidential Elections I am. I will not complain about we have spent the last 1 year getting to know each of the "candidates" that I don't really care who wins as long someone does and their name does not end with Clinton. And how come we still use the word candidate. Isn't the root word Candid, which means, "outspoken; open and sincere." Are these people really candid with us? I wish I could rant on this...but I digress.
I really want to Rant about what took place today as I prepare to start my second semester of graduate school. Today I went and bought my books for school. I remember back in the day when I was young and naïve undergrad at the only University in the state of Utah, I would go and buy my books and think, "I cannot believe that I just spent $300 on 12 books" or "How did I just leave that book store with $400 less?" Boy, was I innocent. Today I went to the Health Affairs Library and left thinking, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" I bought 6 books for $755! That my friends is $126 per book! 6 BOOKS FOR $755! Why does this bother me so much that I feel the need to rant and rant and rant??? Cause I probably won't even read them.

Wow. That's a lot for books. I feel for you.
When the guys on SportsCenter argue for 15 minutes about whether or not LSU is the "best" team in the country or the real champion (and these are the BCS supporters, no less) then there is a real problem. I don't ever recall this type of disagreement after the NFL, MLB or NBA playoffs. I wonder why...
I am meloncoly for baseball.
Don't let Dad know you aren't going to read the books!
I haven't bought my books yet, but now I'm not going to be able to sleep at night! Thanks a lot Sam
Excellent point on candidate. Probably should call them something like decitifiers.
Decitifiers! That is the word I was looking for! Thank you President Bush!
