RANDOM THOUGHTS:
A quick note before I start: starting next week, I'm going to temporarily (?)change the amount of random thoughts per week from two on Mondays and sometime between Wednesday morning and Friday night to just one per week every Monday on the good old 7:30 p.m. time slot. The reason? Pretty much because of the lack of things to write about. More changes and new things are soon to come, but that's pretty much it for now.
Now, onto the show we go! The following were on my mind between Monday, February 15th and Thursday, February 17th:
- The kid in that McDonalds commercial where he thanks his mom for the Happy Meal even though his dad brought it to him has really made me mad for some reason. I mean, why did he even acknowledge his father? I haven't been this angry at a child in a commercial since that Kylie girl for Windows Vista.
- If double fudge chocolate cake is bad for you, then why did God make it so delicious?
- Lindsey Jacobellis is the Phil Mickelson of golf. She wins all the big events, but in the world's biggest stage, she chokes. Miserably. Speaking of which...
- Screw you, Ernie Els! You and I both know that 20x more people will watch the Tiger Woods press conference than your precious Accenture Match Play Championship. Just pay attention to winning the tournament.
-If I were to ever die, I want the Vincent van Gogh death. Not the actual way he died (suicide), but what happened after he died, when his work all of a sudden became more appreciated, and more famous than you were while you lived. That would be pretty awesome.
- I don't understand why the media is so into the White Sox are close to signing Johnny Damon story. Having followed the team for a long time, I can tell you that this whole thing will end with Kenny Williams not wanting to pay the $7 million a year. This will result in Damon going to the Tigers, where he will hit .280, 27 HRs, 76 RBIs, 90 Rs and 15 SBs and the Sox struggling in the outfield that features an overpriced right fielder, a so-so center fielder and an injury prone left fielder. In other words, it's more of a dream than a reality.
- Holy crap! Men's figure skating is creepily awesome! And captivating television too! And yes, I'm not afraid to admit it.
And that's that for the final (for now) mid week random thoughts column. More to come on Monday! And now, as I have done the last month, here is another great song from the brilliant late Jimi Hendrix. This week: "All Along the Watchtower." Another great example of why Hendrix was so great. He took an already good song by Bob Dylan, and made it awesome. What other musicians can you think of that does this? Anyways, enjoy:
