Easter Blog
- I got a chance to play some World Series 2K3 at P's house a few days ago. There's nothing quite like playing a quality baseball game with your boys, especially if they are in the same fantasy baseball league as you. Brings back all the memories of ISR, when we would get Rover and play TP 2000 every day in my room.
- I think every one of my past roommates has complained at some point that I'm never around. Which probably isn't untrue, cause I was just that popular in college. But I think in the past week, I have seen my 2 housemates at the house for all of about 2 hours total. I'm usually here, but they get home late when I'm either already in bed or about to go to bed. Anyways, it's a weird feeling that for once, I am the one who is always around and the guys I live with are always out. Kind of a nice change of pace, actually.
- This might be the first year that Easter has not been a big deal in my life. From the days of the Easter Bunny, decorating and hunting for eggs, to the days at U of I, when Easter was a week-long event for CFC ("Passion Week"), it always seemed like a really major holiday to me. This year, it seems to have come and gone without the usual hoopla. Well, there was still Easter service at my home church, and I got Good Friday off for work, which was nice, but I just never got into the Easter-y mood this year. Hopefully that doesn't happen to me with Christmas. I doubt it will though... just gotta watch Home Alone and that makes me plenty juiced for the holidays.
- Dave Chappelle is hilarious
- It's disappointing that Bill Self decided to leave Illinois for Kansas. But three years ago, we were also disappointed that Lon Krueger left for the NBA. Things turned out pretty good for us then, and I think they will turn out just fine for us in the next couple years too. My feeling is that Self will do well in Kansas, whoever replaces Self for us will do well at Illinois, and Roy Williams will regret going to North Carolina within a couple years. For any Illinois haters reading, I recommend you read Andy Katz's article on ESPN.com. Basically, it's just saying how Kansas is such an awesome job and Illinois is for leftover chumps.
Currently Playing On My Winamp: Coldplay - The Scientist
I remember this was one of my favorite songs when I first listened to the CD last year. I forgot about it until I started hearing it on the radio lately. Who knew that Coldplay would get big, that girls would adore Chris Martin, and he would end up dating Gwyneth Paltrow? Certainly not I.
