It usually takes me a while to organize my thoughts and write something down that is worth posting. Lately, I've been pretty exhausted with life and my brain hasn't had the energy to put anything together. As a result, I've decided to just post a bunch of thoughts without going into a whole lot of detail about any specific one.
In no particular order...
- Allowing the MLB Playoffs to be shown on TBS, which doesn't broadcast in HD, was an absolutely horrible idea. Bud, how did you let this happen?
- I received a speeding ticket a few months ago. The officer told me that he locked me in at 82 mph, but when he handed me the ticket it said 72 mph... nice guy right? Well, I found out last week that he wrote me the ticket for 92 mph and not 72 mph. Apparently I can't read numbers. Sadly, I don't think that is a valid argument to fight a ticket on...
- Haven't spilled any coffee on myself in over a week. It's the little victories in life that keep me going...
- I attended the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra's season opener at the Pantages Theater last weekend. The evenings theme was A Night in Old Russia and featured music from Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff, and Tchaikovsky. This was probably my fifth time attending the symphony in the last two years and I'm finding that I actually enjoy it. Still, I doubt that I will be adding Mozart or Tchaikovsky to my ipod any time soon.
- Two weeks ago I was rooting for either a Red Sox vs. Dodgers or Rays vs. Phillies World Series matchup. In retrospect, I should have rooted harder for the Red Sox/Dodgers.
- Jamie Moyer's performance in game 3 of the World Series was nothing short of epic. I hope the Phillies win the World Series just so my inner Seattle Fan can live vicariously through him for an evening.
- I strained my left pectoral muscle last week. I've been trying to lift around it but that isn't working out so well. Today, I found out that it is a little worse than I thought/hoped and I can't even do pushups. It's looking like I'll have to give it 3-4 weeks of rest for it to heal properly. I'm pretty bummed about this.
- For those that are interested, Stompin' Steakhouse Chili is currently on sale at Safeway.
- The stock market was up 899 points today. I thought that was at least worth mentioning.
Note: Anything below a 500 point swing in the DJIA doesn't even make me blink anymore. I don't know if that is good or a bad thing.
- My new favorite song to work out to is Let it Rock by Kevin Rudolf (ft. Lil' Wayne). I've been listening to it on repeat for the last two weeks and I'm still not tired of it. Only 10 more weeks until it surpasses the Numb/Encore remix by Jay-Z & Linkin Park as my all-time favorite. Have I mentioned that I routinely listen to playlists that don't exceed 3 songs while working out? Is that weird?
- My new pet peeve is seeing police officers talking on their cell phones while driving in a marked vehicle. Seriously now...
- I realized last night that I have an odd habit of curling my wrists and putting pressure on them while I sleep. After Googling it I found out that this is a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome. This probably isn't a good thing.
That's about it for now. Hopefully my brain will start functioning again and I'll be able to write something with some substance in the in the next few days. Until then... err nevermind. I've got nothin'.

Get directv, there is a TBS HD.
Ya that is some bullshit. I just can't ever imagine a situation in which said cop in marked car would ever need to receive or give newly updated/time sensitive information on any activity pertaining to his job.
