For some reason, this just feels right as my background.

I figured this would be
I figured this would be a simple post. I’d just write somethin’ quick then get back to my homework. Not so. Lots of unimportant things going on:
(1) For one thing, this is my 50th post. Oh yeah, that’s sad and exciting. I didn’t realize that I’ve been going this long. Still strong, but I’m starting to feel it in my knees.
(2) I burned myself tonight. It was a rather frustrating evening. I looked in the fridge, stared, stared some more, then crickets started chirping, and then I still couldn’t decide between the turkey sandwich or bowl of not so good Safeway cereal. So, I was going to go cereal style for dinner, but then found one of my many 10-cent Top Ramens. I opted for the beef flavor of wannabe soup broth, and cooked it up. After cooking it in the pot, I went to pour it out and dumped a significant amount of Top Ramen on my left hand. The worst part was that this was spicy beef flavor. So, the intense heat + spicy flavoring = the worst burn I’ve had this year. But I’ve had worse. I’ve lit myself on fire for heavens sake. I should be able to tough this one out. It’s a good reminder of why I’ll never eat anything but cold cereal again.
(3) On the topic of senior citizens and cereal (see last post), I was wondering why they don’t use more ‘people of age’ on the front of cereal boxes. All I get is cracked out squirrels and this crazy bird that goes nuts every time he sees chocolate cereal. And then I realized this would happen:
The concept freaked me out. So, I’m now perfectly fine with that ridiculous squirrel and stupid bird on the front of my cereal.
One Shining Moment
I believe I’ve gone insane. I just spent all of the time since I left school until now staring at computer screen, TV, and/or microwave. I’ve been doing homework, coding HTML, finding the standard deviation of 90 numbers, and now, I’m writing a blog listening to “One Shining Moment”. A song about success, about those hard days on the basketball court, but now, you are living your dream: playing NCAA basketball for a college scholarship, so that you can get drafted in the third round, get traded six times, and then play in the Asian league because your only skill is being tall.
Regardless, something about the song inspired me. I was in some “can’t focus because this graph looks like the position vs. time of my bank account” funk (if your wondering, it is an exponential graph, moving rapidly towards zero). Yes, I was feeling down. But when the faux orchestra, piano keys, and MIDI trumpet horns of that song kicked in, I was feeling 10 feet tall. It all made sense…I am somebody. They should market this as the new high – “It’s completely safe! Pure Euphoria for the Ears! Inspire Self-Confidence!” Start feeling good now:
And yes, you are somebody special. And if it doesn’t work, that is because you need Real Player.
