The Daily News
1 A HUGE congratulations to the CHOIR for kicking some serious booty at the District Choir Festival last night!!! Sometimes magic happens!!! I was pretty-much stuck down here watching over all the practices and all, but you can TELL when a Performing Arts group has kicked some ass, and last night, that's EXACTLY what happened. I could tell as soon as I pulled up to the Theatre (I now DRIVE to the front of the Theatre from my room!). I saw CHOIR kids hugging, singing, and high-fiving, knowing full well that they took it HOME!!!! Celebrate; listen to the CD!!! And on behalf of the rest of YB, I just want to say that you made our whole school PROUD last night!!!
2 Thank your teacher!!!! Pink slip this!!!
3 Excelllent job! I'm WAY looking forward to the Spring Concert!! I just got energized off all you guys last night, and I'm sort of jealous that I didn't get to see you!!
4 Oh, well.
5 I keep forgetting to make my Xanga version of the DN public. What I do is that each night, I go home and write this stuff, just because I do. It's always fun to think of people who are bored, or having coffee, or whatever, reading all this useless nonsense in the morning, or at work, or school, or whenever. I just like to write a few things that might liven up the old day. It's sort of like routine for a lot of folks. They get this stuff in the e-mail, and either delete it immediately, or occasionally give it a glance through just to see if I am still as idiotic as ever.
6 The good ol' Daily News.
7 And I listen for news all day long, stuff everyone is goofing on, and I like to see if I could throw in my two cents, which is about all I have every mid-month
8 Is Barely Bonds going to play? I can't see that story getting any better. My guess: he'll go for it. That's like getting around 200 feet from the top of Everest and stopping with a bum ankle, but the REAL reason you stopped is because the world is getting pretty hip to the fact that a few hundred sherpas carried your carcass up a few thousand feet in the process of reaching your milestone.
9 I got that out of the Big Book of Bad Analogies.
10 All apologies. I want like crazy to make a better one, but I'm too exhausted. Once again, I'm at the school. The Senior Class seems distant right now. It actually feels pretty good. A whole bunch of them went over to the District Choir Festival tonight (last night!), and for the life of me, I wish I could have gotten over. I've just been a mess lately.
11 Things have been so busy and emotional that I'm actually dizzy. Everything seems unreal.
12 Except the Choir!
13 Sometimes, when things get sort of unreal, you need a dose of good news and smiles to give everyone a huge boost.
14 So thanks, guys, for bringing our school some smiles.
15 Okay, since it IS the DN, I have to report the news occasionally. This one is amazing.
16 I have professed that one of the BEST fast food deals in town is the chili they serve at Wendy's on Alma. The stuff is consistently hot, has onions, and is always served with soda crackers, which is one of my weaknesses. But on a cold, rainy day, nothing beats a bowl of Wendy's red. ESPECIALLY the Wendy's on Alma.
17 Yesterday, at that selfsame Wendy's, some lady...okay, stop reading if you are squeamish. A 39-year old woman took a bite out of her chili yesterday, and spit it out, horrified that she had almost eaten the tip of a human finger!! Now this sort of story is usually fake, but evidently, this one is not. The employees claimed it was a vegetable, but when they saw a fingernail on it, they backed off. Officials are trying to find out whose finger it was.
18 Personally, I'd just check it for prints, but then, that's just me.
19 Uh...think I'll leave now.
20 Peace.
