Is This Even Worth Giving a Title?

Current Tunes: Down – Bury Me in Smoke

I’m so indescribably happy that August is here. That only means that fall & winter are both just right around the corner, and I can get back to feeling more at home in the climate. Get to pull the hoodie out of the closet and go back to that. Mmmmm, can’t wait.

Did anyone else’s mind immediately go to “The Matrix” when Obama compared the current health care system and his plan to a red and blue pill? I know “The Colbert Report” noticed and made a good gag about it, but I obviously thought of it first. Obviously. Didn’t make the deadline, again. Way to go Congress.

Had a revelation this week into myself and my education. When I was younger, most days where for whatever reason I wasn’t at school (summer, mostly I think) like several kids of my generation I sat around watching way too much television. Odd thing for me, at least I imagine it was odd, was I sat around watching lots of game shows. I’m talking probably four or five individual shows each day, usually accompanied by Mom or Dad yelling at me to go outside and play, or read or something (I did those things occasionally).

Well fast-forward to now and in the mornings/afternoons when I’m working on internship material, I’ll usually employ the television as a form of audio/visual distraction. Problem is, morning/afternoon programming on any non-ESPN channel pretty much sucks. And even then, ESPN only has one show during that time, Sportscenter, so after seeing that earlier in the morning it becomes kinda pointless. The most entertaining thing I can usually find to view on television ends up being game shows, and more often than not I surprise myself with most of the useless trivia I know. Wish there was a way to make your living off of trivia game shows, I think I could do it.

This wasn’t meant as a horn-tooting extravaganza where I talk up my incredible knowledge and intelligence, was really just a fun observation.
