Cowboy Football at High Noon - Sellout

Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell

Bacon Alarm Clock

Imagine waking up to the smell of frying bacon each morning. This sounds like Heaven, and now it is possible with the Wake 'n Bacon.
The Wake 'n Bacon alarm clock

mmmmm bacon....

In other happenings UW has almost sold out its opening game with Virginia. I'm looking forward to the college football season starting.

Cubs extend lead

The cubs extended their lead last night to 1.5 games over the brewers and 4 games over the cards.

I picked up several new albums last night - now I need more time to listen to them.

One week until Football

We are getting ever closer to the football season. it should be lots of fun. I went and watched the pokes final scrimidge on Wednesday. We looked good in some areas, and need work in others. Next week should go by nice and quick too. I am in Denver on Tuesday for a conference, then am off Wednesday for a doctor appointment for my knee.

I am really liking my new phone. It is nice to have Internet access when I want it, and instant email.

Finally a new phone.

I ordered a new cell phone today. I am replacing my Motorola e815, which has served me well, but broke last weekend when I got caught in the rain. My new phone is the Motorola Q. Along with the new phone I am changing up my plan. I am getting the family plan with 1400 minutes, and adding a data plan for my Q. My sister is going to switch her phone over on my plan and share the minutes with me.

I got a good deal on the phone, and the plan rate isn't bad either. it helps that I get an 18% discount because of where I work. The phone should arrive tomorrow.

Back from Denver

I got back from my trip to Denver last night. I had a good time. We stayed at the adams mark hotel on 16th street. It is a fairly nice hotel, and we got a great price. The cubs won the first two games, but lost the third.

On Friday We golfed 9 at the JFK course, and on Saturday played 9 on a small par 3 course in Englewood. The golf was fun.

We didn't eat anywhere to fancy. We had lunch at rodizio's on Friday, and ate at ESPNZone on Saturday before the game.

We got caught in some rain while golfing friday,and my phone got wet, and will no longer charge. I guess its time for a new phone. I'm going to go with the Motorola Q I think. My other option is the blackberry 8830.

MLOARPD

In short this is just a compilation CD. But instead of just picking a track because I liked it I decided to try and pick tracks for their lyrical content. I have picked out the lyrics that seem to have some meaning to me, and arranged them by song. I suggest you get the songs and listen to them, and also read the lyrics as i have arranged them. Why? because I wanted to. Some tracks may be very hard to find, and some tracks have no lyrics. If I decide to share them sometime I will.

Track Listing:
Parabola by Tool
Be Me by Jonathan Rhoades
Creep by Radiohead
Don’t Follow by Alice In Chains
Mighty K.C. by For Squirrels
Glycerine by Bush
Nothingman by Pearl Jam
Now I know by Pennywise
Everything by Jonathan Rhoades
Songs Remain by H2O

A musical and lyrical look into life. Every note evokes a feeling on some level. Every word has its place even if they are not mine. There is no true deeper meaning. What you see is what you get. Everything does not have to make sense, and probably shouldn’t. Please make sure your hands and arms remain by your side at all times. Make sure your chair is in the full upright position. Sit back, relax, and let the music take you.

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment. We are choosing to be here right now. This whole experience; choosing to be here in this body, holding me, is my reminder that I am not alone … that all this pain is an illusion. Twirling round with this familiar parable; Spinning, weaving round each new experience. Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing. This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remember; we are eternal and all this pain is an illusion.

[I can be no one but myself. Despite what I wish would be. We often look at other as being the ones who are special and we don’t feel we live up by comparison. All of us have these thought and feelings at some point. Everyone is perfect except me.]

You're just like an angel, Your skin makes me cry. You float like a feather In a beautiful world. I wish I was special; You're so fucking special; But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't care if it hurts. I want to have control. I want a perfect body. I want a perfect soul. I want you to notice when I'm not around. Whatever makes you happy, whatever you want. You're so very special. I wish I was special.

Hey, I ain’t never coming Home. I’ll just wander my own road. I can’t meet you here tomorrow. Your living’ Life full throttle

Hey you, you can’t shake me round now I get so lost and don’t Know how and it hurts to care. Forgot my woman, lost my Friends Things I’ve done and where I’ve been. Sleep in sweat the mirrors Cold See my face it’s growing’ Old. Scared to death no reason why. Do whatever to get me by. Think about the things I Said Read the page it’s cold and dead. Take me home

[There is always something good to find. As we step into something new and unknown we need to seek the positive.]

She lies in a bedpan with her name scrawled on her back. He lies in an empty room with his hair burnt to the back.

And by the grace of God go I into the great unknown Things are going to change in our favor. And if we gather, if we fall over the great unknown Things are going to change in our favor. And I am numb from watching TV. Please don't break me

[Time moves on with or without us, We all have regrets, and wish we could change things, but if we focus to much on wanting to change the past we miss the present that we are in. We need to focus on the now, because that is all we really have.]

Must be for real cause now I can feel and I didn't mind it's not my kind not my time to wonder why everything's gone white and everything's grey now your here now your away I don't want this remember that I'll never forget where your at don't let the days go by

I'm never alone I'm alone all the time are you at one or do you lie we live in a wheel where everyone steals but when we rise it's like strawberry fields

If I treated you bad you bruise my face couldn't love you more you got a beautiful taste don't let the days go by could have been easier on you I couldn’t change though I wanted to could have been easier by three our old friend fear and you and me

I needed you more when we wanted us less I could not kiss just regress it might just be clear simple and plain that's just fine that's just one of my names

once divided, nothing left to subtract. Some words when spoken, can't be taken back. Walks on his own, with thoughts he can't help thinking. Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking. Caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go. Nothingman. Isn't it something? Nothingman.

she once believed in every story he had to tell. One day she stiffened, took the other side. Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell. One just escapes; one's left inside the well, and he who forgets will be destined to remember. Nothingman. isn't it something? Nothingman.

Oh, she don't want him she won't feed him after he's flown away into the sun. Burn nothingman. Could have been something, Nothingman.

Woke up to a perfect day no hope in sight but the futures bright ahead. Today things will go my way I got to fight - can rest when I am dead got no time for your explanations give me the frustrations and strained relations can't wait for what waits for me got to get out and find what’s right for me now I know

I can hear the voices in my head they're telling me what to do next can't figure it out - I guess we'll see - I know nothing comes for free no one can say what the future holds and now I know I’ve lost control who knows what waits for me - no hope in sight - the futures bright for me

Too long I’ve been denied and hypnotized by the lies they've told to me and too long I’ve been controlled I’ve got to know what it feels like to be free of the grasp of their expectations - their tribulations - no reservations can't wait for what waits for me to get out and find what’s right for me.

Well those 5 years are gone now, so I’ve got a plan that's new.
I'm seeing the future but I can't forget my roots cause it's still not a concept someone made up on TV. It's still something real way down deep inside of you and me.

All the bands we loved the most, all the songs that give us hope reasons we're still here today, people change but songs remain!

Songs remain in our hearts no matter what we do, I know you can feel it, despite our different views. so if you make a connection, we'll have both sides to see, and no one can take that away from you, and no one can take that away from me.

And when you put that music on you can feel it, you just know it, it's right for you. And even though the times have changed that spirit, I still feel it, it carries on, and even though your life has changed that spirit, you still feel it, it carries on, it carries on in every song.

All the bands we loved the most, all the songs that give us hope, reasons we're still here today, people change but songs remain!

I finally used Myspace and Facebook ...

I have had account at those two places for some time, but never got into using them. I finally went ahead and contacted a few friends (or had a few contact me). I still don't see why people get all excited about those. Most of what people do seems completely pointless, and could be better accomplished in person, via telephone, or by e-mail. Granted I understand when people live a long ways away and want to use that to communicate - but it still seems like email would be quicker. I usually wait until I have an email telling me there is something in my account before I go check it. If that something was just in my email I'd save time.

As far as sharing pictures etc - I think a personal website would do the trick.

But I guess I'll use those places only because others are forcing me to if I want to interact with them. Maybe I'll re-think my interaction with such people .....

Soriano out for a month

That will definitely hurt the cubbies. Hopefully they can stay afloat until he gets back.

I will get to go see the cubs in Colorado this weekend. I also get to do some golfing friday afternoon. It has been several weeks since I went golfing.
