John Mayer’s new song… awesome.
Say what you need to say. It sounds so easy to do, but often hard to execute.
Today is Super Bowl Sunday. I am thrilled to see my New England Patriots in the Super Bowl again. I just hope that all the allegations that surround them regarding the video taping is false. I’ve been following it recently and there’s this guy that is an assistant golf pro in Hawaii that used to work for the Patriots. He claims that he did recording for the Pats and was fired for it. If that was the case, he was fired in 2004, why is he coming forward now? I smell a fish. I mean this guy is probably broke as a joke and wants his 15 minutes of fame. HOWEVER, if he is correct, I shall be crushed.
Last night Julie and I had a little date night. It has been pouring rain here for the last two weeks virtually nonstop with the exception of last Monday. I was down right gitty on Monday… too much sunlight I guess. We went to dinner at Hula’s which took much longer than we anticipated. After I basically inhaled some of my dinner, we went to see “Over Her Dead Body.” It was okay. I mean, there were some decent lines to it. However, overall, it was pretty tired. We then went back to her house and watched a Jeff Denham DVD. He’s the comedian with all the puppets. If you haven’t gotten a chance to see him, make a trip to your local video store and rent it. You won’t be disappointed.
I just laugh to myself at times with people. Julie, for the longest time, I thought was the one for me. However, she never really saw that. After a while, I kind of got over it. We are good friends and that’s great. It’s just funny in some ways to listen to her complain about her boyfriend and what she really wants. When, in reality, we are two work driven people that enjoy each others company. We have a joke that we are going to move to Southern France and have a love child. It would be funny if that ever happened.. I would just have to master my French.
I’m reading Namesake right now. I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy the book because I am not too familiar with Indian culture. As any book I read, it took me a while to get into it. But now I’m nearly finished with it, some parts are predictable, but it’s a great story about people assimilating to a new culture. I guess it just hit me all at once, as it usually does because I’m more sensitive to other things when I’m immersed in a topic of a book. I read an article in Time yesterday talking about a woman who husband was killed in Iraq. He was an Iraqi journalist and she fled to America. She was a computer programmer in Iraq and is struggling to get a job here because of her limited English. It breaks my heart because she is an intelligent woman that is trapped behind the language barrier–like a good number of people in California. People who are clammering for immigration controls and walls need to see these people for who they are–hard working people just like everyone else.
