Time takes time you know...

Random thoughts after a busy, work filled first weekend back:
  • I think I could simply just watch people all day. I love just watching how people act in different situations, like Christmas shppoing time. I think I love people too much to be a misanthrope.
  • I always knew I enjoyed the soundtrack to the movie Friday Night Lights, but now that I know the band that did it I am living in bliss. Explosions in the Sky has been a welcome addition to the Ipod and their songs like Your Hand in Mine are rapidly climbing up the Top 25 Most Played Playlist.
  • There's no way I am not going to see Rocky Balboa this Wednesday night. The hounds of hellcouldnt keep me away from saying goodbye to the Italian Stallion the right way. And mark my words, I want to have this down before it comes out: I predict Rocky Balboa to be a HUGe hit. Number one at the box office and maybe close to 100 Mil.
  • Its been two days away and I already miss my ACU bubble.
  • Good win for the Cowboys yesterday, it was nice to see us stiffen up when the Falcons caqme out with everything they have. Props to TO too, although the spitting incident is ridiculous I found out today that the past few weeks he has been playing with a torn tendon in his finger, an injury that normally would require season ending surgery. Just thought that should be thrown in along with the constant negative press.
  • I was pretty impressed with the creativity of U2's new music video for the song they stuck on their newest greatest hits album.#2 Tv Show you should be watching: South Park
Ill be the first to admit... I was ridiculously late jumping on the South PArk train, I always saw people going crazy for it and I decided I would try to be cool and be a contrarian who just didn't watch it. Boy was I an idiot. This semester South Park entered the pantheon for me... just a fantastic show I never tire of. I think my favorite part of South Park has to be that its a show that often actually has something important to say. It takes guts to take a stand the way this show does sometimes, as its easier to just make toliet humor with nothing behind it. And don't get me wrong, South Park has plenty of that. But the priceless moments are when SP digs a little deeper and gives us some arresting social commentary. And nothing is off limits, whether it be gay marriage, Wal-Mart, or even Mormons. So set the Tivo and start catching up on reruns. Right now.
