The hardest part of a post...

is the title. Usually, at least, for me.

Also, sometimes all you need is to puke and have a good poop, and everything feels better.

So, my mind has been all over the place this week. Mainly it's been in a snot covered haze, due to being a little under the weather, but at 1 am, I just have a cough that's clinging on to life.

I'll admit, I may be an overly proud dad, especially at work. The good thing is that there's a couple other people with kids/grandkids in the same range, so it doesn't come off as overly weird. And it's nice to have Em's great pictures to share.

I've been feeling the urge to delve more deeply into scriptures lately. Actually change that to say merely "delve into scriptures." I'm not a great scripture reader, I'll be honest, I have a hard time staying awake. I've been feeling the urge to find the old addresses of people in France. I've never been a good letter writter, and keeping in touch is not exaclty my forte, but the need to read has been tied to the need to re-discover the people I met while on my mission.

Do you ever wonder if there are any superheros helping cops fight crime? I was thinking about this the other night, and my mind wandered over to thinking about there being no actual superheros. No one has super powers. Face it. Just like there are no wizards or vampires. Pirates and gypses for the most part were/are terrible people. Are we superheros for being normal? Maintaining mediocrity, or at least, leading a socially acceptible life requires quite a bit of self restraint, honor and a strong morality. Also, there are very few people in important/ popular postions that are actually good models for what we should be, that living a decent life, in my odd mind, is something that should be celebrated.

Anyways, there's a little rant for you.

In a Haze

I'm not sure where I'm going to go with this... be warned.

Here are a few things on my mind:

I hate working Sunday nights. I feel like there's a haze in the corners of my eyes.

The guy next to be is breathing like an asthmatic horse. Honestly, what is it called when you snore when you're awake?

Things in my life that keep me grounded are Em, Noah, my french lit class and World of Warcraft Tuesdays. Without them, my sanity would be hanging by a thin rope.

Some guy got hurt bung"ee" jumping the other week. What an idiot. People who jump illegally deserve to be hurt, it's a terrible thing to say, but drunk drivers deserve to die too. I'm tired and my brain filter is slipping away into the nether, sue me.

Soccer is better than your sport. World Baseball Classic? What a huge joke. Do you honestly believe anyone outside the North Western Quarter-sphere and East Asia care about a "Classic" that the players hardly care about? Not to mention baseball players are sissies. And steroids? Rio Ferdinand of ManU was LATE for a drug screen and he got suspended from all competitions for almost a season. He did not test positive... he was LATE. Baseball should hang their collective over grown steroid heads in shame, Bud Selig should have be thrown out of baseball in disgrace and all records from the past 15 years given an asterix. If they didn't know about the drug use, it wasn't because of ignorance it was because they cast a blind eye on something that gave baseball meaning again. Hey baseball this is what happens when you sell your soul to Satan. (I watched ESPN during lunch). Also Arsenal's fiscal responsibility will start paying dividends in about 3-4 on the pitch, just wait.

I'm done typing.
