1 Ah, a disappointing Super Bowl. I knew Pittsburgh was going to win so confidently that I wrote this sentence in the wee hours of the morning BEFORE the game.
2 I really hoped that the Cardinals would win with the outstanding play demonstrated late in the season by both Kurt Warner and Fitz, but I also knew that they wouldn’t be enough to win.
3 The other day some journalist mused, “Pittsburgh 39. Arizona 6. Am I the only guy who thinks Arizona stinks?”
4 I just wish they could have made it happen. Well, it turns out that they almost did, and it was one heckuva game.
5 Speaking of “Am I the only one who…” (see above.) Am I the only one who thinks that Justin Timberlake is looking more and more like Eddie Haskell every day?
Will the real Eddie Haskell start giving us the business?6 Moving on: Can’t. It’s too uncanny.
7 I got my second report card the other day.
8 I still have straight A+’s. = )
9 That’s not really a brag. It’s a statement of survival. I’ve been able to push every hour of my frabjous life into this college class. I’ve also been working full-time, helping up at the school at every turn, AND grading papers without coming up for air.
10 So really, I’m just waiting until the moment that I DON’T have the time to get that one paper in. It’s nerve-wracking, literally. Last night I had my first collegiate failure. I missed a huge deadline, despite staying on the task for three straight days. So the A+ might fall pretty drastically here.
11 I even shook inside because as hard as I tried, I couldn’t complete the assignment on time. It’s a little bit funny because I probably worked harder on this one project than I’ve worked on anything in the last ten years. Sometimes that just happens, no matter what you do.
12 Ah, no point trippin’, right?
13 It is what it is. Even in disappointment we learn and get stronger I suppose. So it is what it is.
14 That’s the best saying these days. It’s one of those sayings that everybody says, but that still makes sense.
15 It is what it is.
16 So Zen.
17 But then I think Larry of the Three Stooges is sort of Zen. Have a look.
18 I laughed when that picture popped up on Google.
19 Immeasurable, really.
20 I tried. Probably too hard, because I avoided all the REAL sources: Wikipedia, etc. I wanted pure research, which is like sneezing into soapflakes.
21 Vonnegut’s son Mark once likened madness to sneezing into soapflakes.
22 Right now it makes perfect sense.
23 So begins another week.
24 Go in full force.
25 The Past is Prologue.
26 Go kick some butt today.
27 I fully intend to!
28 Have a g’day.
29 Peace.
~H~
