Random Notes
- The "one-year reflection" blog is taking a lot of time. I think I will still do it, but not as in-depth as I planned.
- Happy Birthday to Caddy
- It is too cold to be June. I remember last year even in March/April/May we would be outside all the time, either on the Quad, or playing tennis, or BBQ-ing at the lake. This year, I still haven't put away my winter coat yet.
- Nothing is more frustrating in baseball than when a manager handles his pitchers like a reject and the team pays for it. It hurts even more in the fantasy world when my team pays for it.
- Running is boring, but I think I am gonna do more of it
- I'm going to tint the windows to my car sometime soon. If anyone has done this recently, and/or has any places to recommend, let me know.
- For some reason I really like the Ashanti song they are playing on the radio. I think it's called "Rock Wit U", but anyways it's the one where she goes "oh baby" after almost every line. I have had it stuck in my head hardcore for the past couple days.
- They have been playing "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" a lot on USA lately. I thought this movie was pretty well done, maybe except for a few things. But the reason I'm writing about it is because of the theme music. I am pretty sure I have heard it from at least one other movie too, if not more. Don't know which movie it is originally from. If anyone has time to download it, listen, and see if you recognize it from any movie you know, please tell me because it has been bothering me.
- It also got me thinking about the best movie songs ever. Of course, I am not qualified to do a complete list because there are so many movies I haven't seen, but there are a few that come to mind. The Dragon theme is good, except for a part around the 3 minute mark when they add a cheesy drum beat. Definitely there would be a ton of John Williams stuff on my list, like the Original Star Wars Theme, the Imperial March from Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones, E.T., Home Alone (seriously, he did that one), Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, on and on. Also, I like "Lose Yourself" from 8 Mile, which I noticed was pretty high up on VH1's list of top 100 songs in the past 25 years too. I haven't seen the Godfather movies, but even so, that song gives me chills when I hear it. And of course, who can forget the all time classic, "Part Of Your World" from The Little Mermaid. Certainly not I.
