Champs Sports Bowl a.k.a. Tangerine Bowl

It's official, Tech is going to the CSB. It's our first bowl game on the east coast in 3 years and hopefully we'll fill up the Citrus Bowl. So, who wants to go? I'm planning on driving down for the game so that leaves 3 (or 4 if you want to be crowded) seats in the explorer. Let me know.

From what planet are you?

You Are From Saturn

You're steady, organizes, and determined to achieve your dreams. You tend to play it conservative, going by the rules (at least the practical ones). You'll likely reach the top. And when you do, you'll be honorable and responsible. Focus on happiness. Don't let your goals distract you from fun! Don't be too set in your ways, and you'll be more of a success than you ever dreamed of.

Good Songs

I'm taking a page from Melissa's blogging habits and posting song lyrics.

I'm changing lanes
I'm talking on the phone
I'm drivin' way to fast
And the interstate's jammed with
Gunners like me afraid of coming in last
But somewhere in the race we run
We're coming undone

Days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by

Out on the roof just the other night
I watched the world flash by
Headlights, taillights running through a river of neon signs
But somewhere in the rush I felt
We're losing ourselves

Days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by
It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by

We think about tomorrow then it slips away
We talk about forever but we've only got today

And the days go by
I can feel 'em flying
Like a hand out the window
As the cars go by

It's all we've been given
So you better start livin'
You better start livin'
Better start livin' right now

Cause days go by
I can feel like 'em flying
Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by

It's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now

Cause days go by
These days go by

So take 'em by the hand
They're yours and mine
Take 'em by the hand
And live your life
Take 'em by the hand
Don't let 'em all fly by

Come on, Come on now
Don't you know the days go by
- Keith Urban "Days Gone By"

In a little while surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there
In a little while this hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love
When the night takes a deep breath and the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home will you be there

In a little while I won't be blown by every breeze
Friday night running to Sunday on my knees
That girl, that girl, she's mine
Well I've known her since
Since she was a little girl with Spanish eyes
When I saw her in a pram they pushed her by
My how you've grown
Well, it's been, it's been a little while

Slow down my beating heart

A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocketship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail, the scatter of light
Turn it on, turn it on, you turn me on

Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
- U2 "In a Little While"

The Explorer

Here are the pictures as I promised of my new-to-me 1995 Explorer XLT 4x4. I have joined the ranks of yuppie SUV drivers.











To see bigger versions click here. Better pics to come eventually.

New States!

Well now have a new to me vehicle, a 1995 Ford Explorer XLT with 4wd! Pictures will be added soon. To get my new Explorer I flew up to my uncle and aunt's in Indianapolis and drove it back through IN, OH, WV, VA, and NC. While I already had been to the Dayton airport I have now officially been in the state. Indiana and West VA are also new states. I really need to head west.

Yes! Wait! Uhh No Uhh Hold on

At this point the winner hasn't yet been decided Bush is up 249 to Kerry's 200. The most entertaining part of this evening of watching CNN is Wolf Blitzer's constant precautionary warnings.

My Blitzer impression:

CNN can authorize a projection wait uhhh uhhh no wait that's just a prediction no wait let me be clear CNN is not calling this state uhh oh oh yeah eehhh nope no prediciton yes finally a projection.

P.S. It sounds better in my head.
