Random Thoughts Volume IV

January 5, 2005

Early tonight I was listening to Lucy (on the XM Radio) and Howard Jones came on. You remember … Things can only get better and What is Love. I was sort of humming along when it occurred to me how truly simple these New Wave songs were. At the time they seemed very fancy with the synthesizers and what not (it may also have something to do with the fact that I was 13 when those songs came out,) but by today’s standards they are really kinda quaint. I really love hearing music from the early eighties. I even seem to enjoy song that I didn’t care for when they came out the first time. That may have something to do with the fact I didn’t have some of the music that is out now to compare those songs to. Madonna sounds pretty good compared to Britney Spears. Or maybe its just me.

In more Tragic news, the NFL’s Regular Season is over and my Ravens have missed the playoffs. We fired our Offensinve Coordinator, which was long overdue and Phil Savage (director of player personnel) is headed to rival Cleveland Browns. Now I get another month of Football while I watch Playoffs. I guess I’ll be rooting for Peyton Manning and the Colts. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll have to resort to root against the Eagles and the Arch-Rival Steelers. Now I just have to remember what it is I do on Sundays for those other 6 months of the year.

Lastly, I could tell you to vote me again, but I’m beginning to sound too whiney even for me. Instead, I’ll help out a fellow SBC Member: Fat Eye For The Skinny Guy!. He’s up for one of those swanky BoB awards (Most Humorous Blog) and his blog is much better than the compitition. Head on over and vote for him.
