My LAUNCHCast station started the night off with "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard. Good song. In past years, after Husker football games, my friends and I would go the Red Fox in the evening. Saturday night is karaoke night, and we'd always sing that song. Good times. Those were the days when Ted and Brad lived at Amy's house, which was in throwing distance of the Red Fox, and we'd usually just walk from there. Probably a good thing, too. We tended to get pretty crazy. One time, Ted's folks were upstairs sleeping, and all of a sudden they heard a loud bang against their window. You see, we had just made our triumphant return from the Fox, and I decided that it was time to throw Amy's wading pool on the roof. I think that was also the night Ted and I made a ridiculously futile attempt to kick down the old garage behind the abandoned house next door. From the inside, no less. Chalk that one up to capricious youth, I guess.
Ahh, now "Paranoid" is playing. That throws me back to high school and my trusty old 1979 Camaro. That song was a staple road tune on many a tour of the country roads. I'm sure we can all agree upon the sublime glory of country roads. Every one of them has a story, be it good or ill. You might not believe it, but the part of Nebraska in which I grew up has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, and it can only be appreciated whilst traversing the gravel and dirt roads. Undoubtedly, most of you will scoff at this. Believe me when I tell you that I couldn't care less . I've been around the the block a time or two and seen some amazing places, and I still think it's just about the best place on God's green earth.
Anyway, back in high school, I was on our Student Council. The fall of my junior year, it was time to decide what the Homecoming theme would be. I made an impassioned speech about why the theme should be "Paranoid". (Here's the text of it: "We should go with 'Paranoid' because it's a bitchen song and I'm tired of all the pansy hippie crap we choose every year.") And you know, a vast majority of the council voted in favour of it. Unfortunately, at that point, our adviser yelled at us and cowed most everyone into voting it down. Blind fools.
Right now, Jason is watching Return of the King Special Edition. I think he has ADD; he keeps fast-forwarding through the dialogue heavy parts to the action. What a wasted. What's the point of reaching a destination if you don't first understand the journey? Anyway, what a great movie. Excellent books, too. Everyone needs to read them.
You know, I was a little disappointed in the portrayal of Denethor. He wasn't just a cold ruler who favoured one son over another. He was a strong leader driven mad by constant threat of Mordor revealed to him through his own palantir. I didn't care for Peter Jackson's elimination of Saruman, either. Ah well. They're still awesome movies.
Last night I went to Omaha to see Lord of the Dance with Brad, Beth, Jeff, Jason, Tara, Marc, and Jenny. It was an awesome show; absolutely amazing. So much craft and athleticism. Naturally, we were all biased toward the character of Jenny's twin and my "future wife", Debbie. (Disclosure: Note the quotations around "future wife;" Debbie has a boyfriend. Which means I'm still a hot commodity.) She played the role of Morrigan, a temptress. We all love a temptress, do we not? Anyway, it was so cool to watch the show and say, "Hey, that's my friend up there." After the show we all went out for drinks at the Cactus Cafe. It was fun to go out in Omaha for a change.
Despite not getting home until late last night, I still made it to church this morning. Those of you out there who are Lutheran...you know the part of the brief order for confession and forgiveness where there is a silence for reflection on our sins? It occurred to me that if I was to list all my sins for the waking hours of even a single day, I'd need a lot more than 15 seconds.
Grey's Anatomy just finished up. I'll take a moment right now to reiterate that I'm in love with Katherine Heigl. I know I'm always saying how I'm really into Asian women, but I'll always remain sucker for blonde, full-figured women. Really, I'm a sucker for pretty much any beautiful woman. Especially in scrubs. Because scrubs are hot.
You know, there needs to be a show in which Eva Longoria wears scrubs.
"Bad Medicine" by Bon Jovi is playing now. Another excellent song.
That's what you get for falling in love
You get a little but it's never enough
That's what you get for falling in love
And now this boy is addicted and your kiss is the drug
The Huskers landed several new recruits over the past couple days. It's looking like we might have another top 10 recruiting class this year, which is the step in the right direction. We really should have a good shot at winning the north next year. Colorado is in disarray, KSU will almost certainly experience a decline following Bill Snyder's retirement, and Missouri's best quarterback in the history of the program (and, consequentally, their best offensive weapon) is graduating. That leaves Iowa State and Kansas, both of which are very beatable. As much as I hate CU and KSU, I hope they get back to prominence soon, just for the sake of the conference.
I'm out. For cryin' out loud, watch The Boondocks! I'm going to grow my hair out long so that I can get some cornrows.

I bet my party was better then the Lord of the Dance.... FYI ;)
That's a bold statement.
Katherine Heigl, she is hot. I remember her from way back in "my father, the hero". I think that is what it was called.
