Memories......................HAHA JK

The title is just there to make fun of the fact that every damn person on facebook is writing their own memories note. Too bad I don't care. I just needed to write a note, because this is the way that I get things off my mind. I have been palying a lot of poker online lately and I have have some up and down luck. A week ago I won $1300 I cashed 1000 of it out and now I have been havin some bad luck not being able to win hands when I am way ahead. I swear the programming had been rigged to make me lose all the time. It was so aggrevating at times. So lets see what else is new, The wild are still undefeated after 5 games which is pretty cool. I wish I got to see some games around here. I should figure out what channel OLN is because I think they show some hockey games, or at least they did last year. I would dfinitely watch hockey if they do show it. I have been watching the office a lot lately along with season 4 of scrubs which just came out on dvd.
I am addicted to the office. There is just something about it that is so funny. They insanity of Dwight, the thought that a boss could be so incredibly and the hillarious things that Jim does make the show something that everyone should check out some time. How often do you get the chance to see a mockumentary sitcom? Also Steve Carrell plays the part of the boss perfectly. He seems so serious and the way he does things are just hillarious.
When I wokr late at night I usually will read Rolling Stone, because it is like the only magazine that they have at work that I find interesting. I was reading through and I read something about the Decemberists, it said they were an ultra-literate indie-rock band, I thought that this was an interesting description for a band and was so intrigued that I got ahold of some of their music and gave it a listen. It was good stuff. Not too complicated, but the songs tell stories really well. Its ot hard stuff for those of you out there that like harder rock. I like their sound nice and accoustic with some accordian and harmonica mixed in depending on the songs.
I also have gotten the new album by Robert Randolph and the Family Band titled Coloblind. I have only listened to it once through, but I liked it a lot, its nice upbeat funky music. It is hard to describe to be honest. I really liked the cover of Jesus is Just Alright with Eric Clapton joining in.
They are another band I think are worth checking out for you readers out there.
Thats all for tonight.

Its Bloggin time!

Well its getting to be almost a month since I last blogged/wrote a note if you're reading on facebook. I guess I really haven't had anything at all to say, and also the fact that I don't think anyone is reading the posts, but oh well. I honestly don't have anything really special to say right now, but I like posting, so lets see how this turns out. So lets get into the thing that has been bothering me since tuesday afternoon, the Twins lack of success so far in the postseason, they only have one game left to prove they can do something. I recently read an article about why the twins might be underperforming, and it is because they now have pressure on them. When they didnt have any pressure on them they were playing the best baseball in the entire league. They just need to go back to that when they were just playing and having fun. I hope they will be able to win at least one game in the series. I think thats all of the news in the area of sports. I have been doing fine in school. I have one little thing that I want to tak about, and I know that I am makin a huge deal out of nothing. During my soccer class there are some people that dont understand the basic parts of the game like how its much more beneficial to pass than it is to try to dribble through like 3 people, but i guess at almost, and also there are some people who dont know when a goalie can pick up the ball and when a goalie can't. In class today when we were scrimmaging I shielded the ball from the opposing team so that the goalie would be able to pick it up, but she didnt and the other team was able to get it and score. By no means am I a great or even very good player, but I understand how to play the game. Like I said I am making too big of a deal out of nothing at all. I just feel bad for having our team give up a goal when it shouldnt have happened. Well this weekend I am going to be out of town for homecoming, but honestly there isnt that much that I would be participating so oh well I think I will live. I am going to Appleton with my dad to visit my younger brother. I think it will be fun to watch his soccer game.
I watched the end of leno beore conan and saw Camp Freddy, the musical guest, they are a band of known musicians that pay covers. And to be honest they were fun to watch.
Well its time for my version of the big finish for all of you pardon the interruption fans out there.
Song of the Night: I Need More Love----Robert Randolph and the Family Band, I love this song. It is funky with a good rhythm. Everyone should listen to it some time. I am excited for their new album that is coming out soon, I will probably review it when it comes out.
Movie of the Night: Young Frankenstein, a classic comedy by Mel Brooks. An abstract taking on the Frankenstein story. I dont know anyone that didnt enjoy it.
