Up Next
So I've.... AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH "Love Me Do" popped up on my iTunes. I can't say I like the Beatles, but it's even worse as it is done by the Brady Bunch. Karma is a bitch.
Anyway I'm in a new mode for Winter: cooking and exercising. I need to eat better. Actually, I don't, but I want to, so I'll finally learn to really cook. It's going.... sort of.
I also need to start training for the rugby tournament next June.
Um, there.

Random Babbling With Some Purpose
Those of you who have been (un)fortunate enough to be around me when caffeinated or, even more so, caffeinated and slightly drunk know my propensity to talk a mile a minute and switch from subject to subject. Although and I neither caffeinated nor drunk, I still have that mindset now.
Ye Be Warned.
So the past 3-4 months have been the most anxiety and self-doubt free months I've ever had. Strange really. I can't say anything really phases me anymore, at least not deeply. Such a vacation it has been.
If you want to catch a couple of movies, see District 9 and 500 Days of Summer. The former is a social commentary on racism & immigration. The main alien in it is the most humane CGI character that you'll ever see. Imagine Jar Jar Binks.... this alien redeems that. I didn't get too excited about the last third focusing on the main alien and main human, but that was more a personal preference of mine. It doesn't take away from the film at all in general. The second focuses on a brief romance or fling between two people. It roles through the light and fun of the start of a relationship to the bitter end, then resolve. There's a couple things the guy did that wasn't how I'd handle things, but it gave food for thought.
Ted Kennedy is dead. Next.
I'm working on a playlist called "Pornicopia". Yes, it will have one porn song in it, but mostly it's a collection of new music and some old that I've been listening to recently punctuated by audio of movies and such.
Rugby is going well and last night's practice burned my lungs. We're ultimately preparing for the international tournament in Minnesota next year. No broken rib, concussion, severed foot, or carotid artery will keep me from it.
Shaun moved out and into a new place with his girlfriend. It is strange to both Naida and me that he's not around. Tim has moved in a is a good presence. Unfortunately, his cat, Sophie, is very territorial and my cat is a complete wimp. We're working through the drama using gates and spray bottles.
Um, that's it.

As It Is
It's about time I actually wrote something so when I'm old and gray I can read this and wonder what I was thinking. So...
Rugby is starting up. Not practices, but the board is meeting more often and I'm doing the whole Monkey Bar training so I can hit the ground running when practice starts. We have a few things to work on, mainly recruitment but we have some good ideas. My rugby goal this year is NOT to break a bone.
Work is fine. I'm plenty busy and we're still open despite the beautiful economic crisis. Then again commercial construction has dropped badly yet. That will probably change.
I started up my MBA again. This semester I'm taking Corporate Finance and it's been pretty good. I chose Autodesk from the professor's list mostly because I used AutoCAD at work. I think it'll be good but now have tuition payments again.
Um, not much else is new. I've been nostalgic for the 90's, so I put together a mix. You can find it here. When I have a little more time, I'll make some artwork for it. I have it all put together in my head so it shouldn't take me long.
That's as it is.

Saturday's a Rugby Day
So today was my first Saturday practice, which compared to Thursday practice, has more players there. I'm really happy with my progress, but realize that I have more to go. My passing was much better and I'm starting to catch on to the ins and outs.
After practice we went to our home bar that is thankfully Glass Nickel. Again, I was reminded how cool my teammates are. After lunch, we caught the rest of the women's game and cheered them on.
Then I found out that the WRC is playing in Milwaukee next weekend and they'll have a B team match. They want players from our team for that, so next week, I'll play a little bit.
We'll see how that goes.

Time to get nostalgic about a movie I saw eighteen years ago and was about a time seventeen years earlier. My college roommates can verify...

After the post below and after finding Dave's post, I created my South Park persona after a bike ride. I think it's fitting.
