More of them ... kinda ..!

RANDOM THOUGHTS


Wow ... I love PJ Harvey. I would say right after Jill Scott, she is my favorite female singer.

I remember watching this performance when I was with Mookie. I happened to be awoke (much like I happen to be awoke now), and caught this performance. For some reason, I didn't even know she was still making music. I went out the next day to get this CD.

There are a bunch of songs on there that I like. No reason to skip over any song, they are all very good. She puts a lot of feeling in her songs, which attracts me. The content is real, not some confection created for the purpose of mass marketing. You have got to want to have her CD's on, and you have got to know she is going to run her nails down your back or slap your face for what ever it is you are doing or have done.

Good stuff!

YEAH, I KNOW ...

State lost ... still a sweet sixteen team. The getting past that to the final four is going to be hard. The NCAA is pretty deep with good teams, and you don't know which of the lesser known schools will get hot this year.

One of the questions I have, is what exactly is a 'mid major' or 'small school'? It isn't like they are any less expensive, is it? Any one who can give away a scholarship, isn't 'small' to me. I understand that other universities and colleges place more emphasis on sports ... why don't they let them go compete in their own 'open class' division? Pay the cats that they bring in from their impoverished rural areas and infested urban decay?

I used to have a whole spiel about that ... now, not so much. Think that there is definitely something shyster about the entire process. The basketball tournament is as foul as the football system. Seven, eight teams from one conference, with a record of 19 -11, while another school is 25-6, and they stay home. Doesn't seem right, does it?

IDES OF MARCH

I used to think of that phrase the same way I would think of 'PSK, what does that mean?'! A catchall kind of phrase that I would throw in, just to disrupt the conversation. Maybe something was going over my head, or I just felt like trying to change the topic. Sort of like Norm MacDonald's '... or so the Germans would have you believe', line he used on his run doing 'Weekend Update' on SNL.

For me, I use it when someone is talking about something and it is either something questionable or an attempt at manipulation. What ever it is, I have my doubts about what was said.

There was a little blurb on the AOL main page that had a link to the '13 Women to Avoid'. Of course they also had a link for the 'Men to Avoid' as well. Wasn't groundbreaking, but I thought they did alright.

EARLY SPRING?

That would be something, wouldn't it? But I hope it would mean that it got all the way up into the 70's in late May. That would be pretty neat, if a nice spring blended into a warm summer.

I have always thought that when the temperature is just a smidge warmer ... in the mid 50's, that is the best time to go running. As it is, I am stretching out my work on the road, bumping up my distance. Not necessarily to lose extra weight, though that is a part of it. I want to be able to run a marathon, which is why I am going to get a schedule of how I should up my mileage.

Right now, I can get a half marathon no problem. It is wrapping my mind around going thru that wall that has me 'stuck'.

Hutch lives in 48170 ... I have ran from there to my Dad's place before. but it is going beyond that, which is where my mind shuts down. I could take it all the way Downtown ... and that is my goal, to do it at least once before fall.

Okay ... eyelids are drooping! Night y'all!
