American football is very simple, Lil..
Each team gets 4 tries to run the football into the end zone for a touchdown.
If they don't make it by the 3rd try, they have 3 options:
- try again
- kick the ball to the other team as far downfield as possible (so they are far from their goal)
- try to kick the ball through the goalpost for some points (not as many points as a touchdown though)
If they manage to go 10 yards or more within their 3 tries, they automatically get another 3 tries (automatic 'first down')
When someone runs the ball into the end zone, or catches the ball there its a touchdown worth 7 points.
That's all the basics right there.

See Lil what bothers me is there's no build up or like in soccer (which I am a giant super big fan of)...and they stop for mini breaks after each play yawn boring!
I feel like if I had taken the time to watch it, or if I had someone to watch it with, I might be a soccer (the REAL football, lol) fan. But no one in my house watches soccer, sooo outta luck.
Football (I mean, soccer) is a very interesting game. You will love it if you watch a few games.
Huge fan of Real Madrid (Cristiano Ronaldo is my favorite player) also a fan of Milan, Bayern (Pep is a great coach) I like Man City over man united sorry dude
I like Christiano Ronaldo for his dedication and professionalism. Some say that he also donates a lot to charity but makes no noise about it. He is one guy who is hated and loved, equally.

I'm watching a program (again) about the American Civil war tonight. As a southerner, maybe as an easterner, I've grown up immersed in its history and I've never lost interest. I live near several battlefields and have visited many more - really more interested in the western theater than Lee's war in the east. Shiloh, Chickamauga, Lookout Mt., Nashville, and the trek to Atlanta - Resaca and the others, especially Kennesaw Mountain.
But all this left me wondering. How do folks in the west feel about the war? Does it have much of an impact or is there much interest in it at all? Even the folks from Texas who were part of the American Confederacy - has the war had much impact on you or is your interest in the war been something you've always had? How about Gypsy in Oregon or Catherder in California - does the war hold any wonderment for you?
I'm not sure it actually would touch people in the way it might a southerner. i have found artifact plenty of times - once a whole cannonball and several mini balls, even a union button once. There was still a stone fence built as part of a picket line near a neighborhood I lived in once when little.
To me, there's still a shadow of sorts that haunts this land. There's so many patches that are hallowed ground. There's still a kind of hushed dread in the thousand or so museums littering the south. Even the not so used rail lines form vanishing points that seem to moan still; a lonely look to a highway with historic markers around every bend. It seems every small town has black steel fenced in CSA tombstones on their boneyards with chiseled lettering shallow'd by a century and a half of rain.
Does it play a role in other's lives?

I know I'm not where I WANT to be in life right now. I thought I'd have a steady, part time job, enjoying college life in Minnesota. I was really truly going to make that step. I realized I wasn't ready. Now, I lost my seasonal position (I don't really care anymore, but I will be talking to the manager of the store tomorrow, asking if she knew of it.), I'm not going to college, and I just help run everything music related at my church. They couldn't do it without me. I'm hopefully going to start volunteering at the humane society, and really, I'm starting to feel content with where I am in life. God has me right here, right now for a reason. I'm going to give it everything I've got while I'm here.
