This morning, while getting ready for Six Flags (I’m going with a bunch of friends today), I got my e-mail and found out that a lot of people have visited the rivalries site in the past two days. So I looked at the site logs, and found out that it’s a featured college football link on BellSouth’s site!. Look at the bottom, under “On Net This Week”, where it talks about college football. It may be gone soon, but that’s still pretty cool in my book.
With your favorite guitar riff in the background:
Well, I’ve got 15 pounds that I could stand to lose,
Well, I’ve got 15 pounds that I could stand to lose,
I’ve got the 23-years-old-and-already-developing-a-middle-age-spread blues.
Okay, I’ve wondered this for at least four years now, since the movie Masterminds came out.
Who sings that song “Baby I’m Ready To Go”? Can anyone help me out with this one?
I have re-learned that naps are A Good Thing ® I have mentioned before that I have not been sleeping well at night; however, this doesn’t seem to translate into the day. This is also A Good Thing.
Today, I got an e-mail from a reporter from the Dallas Morning News. They’re doing an article on a new fight song for Southern Methodist University that is debuting this year. I guess that someone found my fight song lyrics site, because tonight I found an e-mail message asking for an interview concerning fight songs and their histories.
So I’m going to be giving Dallas a call soon. Kinda cool, I think…
I have not been sleeping well the past few nights. I was originally thinking that it had something to do with the fact that my grandparents keep the temperature hotter at night than I’m used to; I have a tendency to wake up at night if it’s too hot. But I’m starting to think that it’s got more to do with some oncoming stress.
I’m not used to not being in school at the start of a fall at all. I looked up Alabama’s academic calendar and found that I would be starting classes tomorrow were I still there. I’m starting to wonder if I made the right decision to take a year or two away from school before I made the decision about a doctorate.
I’m definitely not used to not having something to do for an extended period at all. The last time that I can remember not having school or a job to think about was the summer before my junior year in high school. And even then I had football practice by this time.
Yesterday, I took an application to UAB for employment. The lady at the counter took my application and told me that they’d be in touch with me. Then I walked outside and got into my car. I wasn’t ready to come back home yet. So I drove around Birmingham for a little while.
Driving has always been something of a relaxation mechanism for me. The thing is, what do I have to be relaxed from? If anything, I should be more relaxed now than I’ve been in eight years. I don’t have one thing that I have to do tomorrow. But that’s the problem.
This day, even driving failed me. I think that I would have enjoyed it more if I was looking around at neighboorhoods to live in or for new ways to get around town or something. This day, it seemed contrived, as if the only reason that I was doing it was to do something, anything. Which it basically was.
I turned left onto I-459 and headed for home.
Christians aren’t perfect, just forgiven – I think. We’re not really sure. Oh well. Couldn’t have said it any better.
Look for it under “New Findings”.
I’ve made some changes to a couple of things internally. Everything should look normal, but if it doesn’t, please let me know.
Also, I received my first rejection notice today. Stanford calls them “ding letters”. So I’ve been dinged. 🙁
Just so you know…
In other words, I’m clean-cut no more. Well, at least until my first job interview. 🙂
