last night i couldnt sleep because it was too warm in my room. i decided to listen to my ipod for a little bit to see if that would bring me sleep. after listening to Mr. Bojangles by Neil Diamond twice, Glycerine by Bush once, and December, 1963 (Oh What a Night) by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons half way through i decided to take my pillow and sheet to the living room to see if that would work. Lucky for me my friend Mikey doesnt like sleep either and he was there playing NBA Live 07. Watching him play made me very tired and around the time that his game was going into overtime and he seemed upset that he had to play another 5 minutes of overtime i was asleep. i woke up twice and he was still playing which led me to believe that i hadnt been asleep long since overtime was only five minutes but this morning i was told he played another 3 games after that. AND WON ALL THREE!!!!! The 2007 Chicago Bulls are now 13-2 in their 82 game marathon of a season and are making an early run for the post season. Mikey had this to say: "wizards, raptors, and kings aint got nothin on me. I gave them the illusion they might win by allowing it to go into OT, but as soon as ben wallace secured the tip, i blew that game wide open." cocky or confident? we'll see as the season unravels. over the past years i have said that i am going to do a few things and have not yet accomplished them. i would now like to make a list of the things that i can remember. if there is anything that i am forgetting please remind me because i intend to complete everything on the list.
run a 1/2 marathon
start a clothing company
go to san francisco
do a triathlon
hike the y
watch all of season one of welcome back kotter
I think that about covers it. maybe there are more. but my mission now is to complete everything on the list and i will keep you, my small audience, posted.
on a side note i would like to mention the links to the songs that were mentioned in this post. first off thank you to youtube, you guys keep amazing me. i would like to make it clear the man singing mr. bojangles is not neil diamond but he brings as much passion to the song that neil would. the bush video would probably be my first mtv moment that i can remember and i believe i saw it the day after in 1996 at morgan taylors house, im sure kfc or dominos with orange juice was involved. the last video surprised me. i had no idea the drummer sang that song. it has turned my world upside down.
