About to Wrap it Up

Friday was my Smart Decision shift. Jessica had updated all the blogs, and since most people are "drunk or they want to be", there were no blogs that needed to be updated. It was a very uninteresting shift, considering the night before I came in fifth in a poker tournament and then played drunken softball until 1 in the morning. It's kind of hard to top that sort of night. I eventually did, but that was later... more on that in a bit.

Going-ons at the station were kind of boring. There were people making resume tapes and just chilling with friends. Why you would hang out at a news station on Friday is beyond me, but whatever. People are strange. Anyway... kind of a quiet night. There were only three packages this week, down from the usual amount of six. It was nice, because that meant that both Fowler and myself didn't have to take a script and get it ready in ten minutes. I guess that's to be expected as Greeley's kids finish their shifts. Next week, Jieun Jeon might be the only full package. And that would be both awesome and strange.

FANTASY SPORTS NEWS

About to win this week. Tim Hudson was a man-beast, throwing a CG, 3-hit shutout against the Reds. So that's good. Add to that a great game each by Francouer and McCann, as well as Ryan Zimmerman coming up with some key RBIs and I'm on my way to climbing back up to within the top half of the league.

Not Fantasy related, but LET'S GO SHARKS! I've liked you guys for years, and you need to beat the Stars. Please. As if Texas needs something else to boast about.

OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST

Almost ready to graduate. I'm still looking for a job, and working on my website. Contacted two stations looking for a Sports reporter: one in Pensecola and one in Jackson, TN. There's another in MS I called but no one picked up. I wouldn't mind Jackson. Close to Memphis, only four hours from home, and the same region. I'd have to dodge the rednecks, mullets and NASCAR (which in TN would be damn-near impossible), but I won't change my ways. I'm fairly certain it's Cardinal Nation down there, not Cubby Land.

LINE/LYRIC OF THE WEEK

I don't consider myself an activist or anything political. I'm a veritable Moderate. Both major parties have issues, but I don't side with one more than the other. For instance, I don't support Iraq, but I believe the death penalty should be used more often. Confused? My parents are. But I mean, if you drink and drive, and then kill another human being, you go. And no "lethal injection is inhumane" crap. Inhumane is suddenly getting slammed by an impaired driver who walks away while you die, leaving a family behind. I don't know where that came from, but I'll get back on point. I'm not an activist, but I like RATM. So, here's this...

"For it's the end of history
It's caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take
So swallow the one that makes you ill.
I am the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria.
The noose and the rapist, the field's overseer
The agents of orange, the priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire"
- Rage Against the Machine
