Greetings once again and welcome to the maze that I call my train of
thought. I'm in a bit of a typing mood right now, so let's get to it:
- This past winter has been a tough one for me, for different reasons.
Now with a new season comes new hope and also better and warmer weather.
- As with past years, I decided to do the brackets and make my guesses
for this year's NCAA basketball tournament. So far I'm doing better
than in past years. I picked 22 out of a possible 32 teams to advance
to the second round. The one thing that makes it different for me this
year is at this point and time (with two games still to go to determine
the definitive Sweet 16), the picks I made for the Elite 8 are all still
in contention. That has not happened in the past, so it seems my
prognostication skills are starting to improve. Now if I can only get
this to work in other areas...
- Speaking of basketball, this is
the first year I truly believe the Cleveland Cavaliers have a realistic
shot at winning the NBA title. Even with injuries, they seem to have
all the cogs necessary to finally grab the title. When tournament time
rolls around, fear this team.
- After some further
consideration, it looks like the birthday celebration will have to be on
the 2nd weekend of April after all (Saturday the 11th) even though that
is Easter weekend. The first weekend of April looks like there is
already a ton going on with friends and events such as the Final Four
and Wrestlemania (which I plan on watching). It may be a blessing in
disguise because it will give everybody an extra week to bring up ideas
and possible plans for the celebration. Get in touch with me if you
have any ideas (besides the club, of course) on what to do for that
weekend, Again, I am also thinking about something for the 10th (that
Friday night) as well, so definitely let me know what's up.
- Last night at the club was yet another different experience. Even
though there was a decent crowd, at times the dance floor was cleared
out for the most part and others it was packed. It was only Jay and I
representing there, since it looks like everybody is waiting to come out
for the b-day celebration (at least that's what I'm telling myself). I
wasn't as tired and I was in a better mood so my experience there last
night was an improvement over the previous weekend based on that alone.
- I am having some issues with my computer right now, either due to my
power supply (it seems on the fritz) or some glitch in my system that I
haven't found yet. So in the event I'm offline for a while, it may be
due to that.
- I hate weatherization. At least the severity of
the symptoms I've been dealing with are finally starting to let up. On
top of that I finally got some good sleep last night for the first time
in a couple weeks (which might be contributing to the let-up). I just
hope this process passes soon cuz I've got a birthday coming up and good
weather to enjoy, gosh durnit.
- No, that last statement was not misspelled...I meant it exactly as it was written.
- I have finally found family on one of the social networks I frequent
(two cousins on Facebook). It's the first time in my entire internet
experience that I have found any family online in some capacity. I hope
more show up, but at least it's a start.
- Song on repeat:
"Sexy Lady" by Yung Berg (he's the guy that does backup for Ray J on
"Sexy Can I")...a dance song that I wish I heard a bit more often in the
club.
- SLP to the following: Betsy and Scotty (my cousins), Kristin, Holly, Jay, Carlo and Tommy D
That's
all for this week...nothing major and kept to myself for the most part
with one exception. I might have more next time I write...I might
not...it's fun to keep people guessing. Until next time, America (oh
Lord....I'm using Maury Povich lines...somebody hit me with a reality
check!). Take care and God Bless.
