Doug Jones Wins In Alabama As The Crimson Tide Earns My Support In The Playoffs
@alabamafootball_

Yep, I'm mixing sports and politics again, which is the golden sin. But something incredible happened on December the 12th that I must write about.

Doug Jones defeated Roy Moore to be the first Democrat elected in Alabama in over a quarter-century. Millions of people chose country over party. They said no to a man who has never understand the meaning of no...if you get what I mean.

Alabama football has been the perennial power in college football in today's era. Their dominance has been incredible. People, including myself, find themselves sick of winning. Their fanbase has been seen as arrogant by many people who root for teams other than Alabama. That is other people's view, not mine, so don't shoot the messenger. I would be arrogant too if my team won like that.

Alabama fans see their coach, Nick Saban, as a god, and this is in the Bible-belt. What is not being talked about is that Alabama fans are the ones who put Roy Moore, the Alabama Democrat, in office over Republican Roy Moore. Jones even got 60% of the vote in Tuscaloosa County, where the University of Alabama is located.

After weeks of thinking I'd pull for Clemson to win one in the College Football Playoff Semifinal for the ACC by beating Bama, the state of Alabama did the right thing by putting Moore in office and I believe the Crimson Tide has also earned my support.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
