you know what YOUR problem is? too many fucking words on a tshirt.

now playing on iTunes/iPod: silence

this lyric is pretty easy to get your head around, as just about everyone can relate to it. it preaches about treasuring the good times you have because they certainly will not last forever. I thought about this today at work; when I was in middle and high school, every fall brought on a new year filled with friends, fun and free time. I had a wonderful core of close friends from my church, and one of our favorite fall activities every Sunday was to play some football on the church lawn. our weekly football games were so big that we started giving names to special games: the Advent Bowl was played after the annual Christmas caroling trip, New Year's Bowl at the rotating New Years Eve party, the Super Bowl Bowl, which went down during the real SB's halftime show, and of course the Thanksgiving Bowl that we had every turkey day at the rotating dessert party. we even used to get together after rainy nights to play tackle football, like the song says, and one year when the street next to the Arby's we always went to was torn up, we'd play there too while we waited for our parents to finish eating. every spring though, someone would graduate from high school and go off to college, and there would be one less guy on the field. by my senior year in high school, we played only sporadically, and now the only game we play is the Thanksgiving Bowl, which is now 15 years old. out of all the things I miss from my high school years, the football is what I miss most. the experience of running in the TD, stripping down to short sleeves and gloves in the coldest weather, breathing the crisp autumn air as you stared down your buddy from across the scrimmage line, and just the feeling of spending a cool Sunday afternoon with your friends. I may never get to do that again, but whenever I see the leaves start to turn and I smell the air, it's almost like I'm back on that lawn. and I wouldn't trade that feeling for the world.

sub-intelligent MySpacers strike again. this time, from Kellie's profile (emphasis mine):

Kellie's Interests

Television Desperate Housewives I love, The O.C. (whoo hoo!), Lost, American Idol, Friends (I'm so sad it's over!), Will &; Grace, E.R., and according to my boyfriend I'm addicted to reality shows, but thats not entirely true because I don't like Survivor! It's gross! Oh and so is Fear Factor! I'd never eat a bus or animal body part for money! Ewwww!

man, I know how she feels. I get grossed out by people eating buses too.

the moral of this little blurb? LEARN TO SPELLCHECK.

so, my sleep sched is still way screwed. let's see what's in the news today

the Twins found a new way to lose today. playing the Rangers, the Twins dug themselves into a nice hole early as Lohse got tagged for 5 runs on a grand slam and a solo shot in just two innings of work. the boys battled back though, and at the top of 9, the good guys (by which I mean the Twins, not the store) had the lead, 7-6. unfortunately the usually reliable Joe Nathan unraveled and after a Texiera moon shot the Twins lost 10-6. sigh...

autumn is here. I think. the leaves are changing pretty quickly around here, but the temps don't want to seem to cooperate. it was 73 here today, but it was in the high 80's over the past weekend and mid 80's are expected to make a return appearance this week. I really wish autumn would just hurry the fuck up and come, seeing as it's my favorite season and all, and hopefully the massive cooldown happening next week will be the start of it. ot's around 60 right now, if anybody cares. because I sure do!

your mom called. she asked me to tell you that YOU SUCK

there are just waaaaay too many sweet DVD's coming out in the next couple months. it starts next week with Fever Pitch and continues with new Family Guy sets, the third season of 'That 70's Show' and that other movie that was released to an assload of fanfare at the beginning of the summer. so that should be super awesome. have a love affair with buying DVD's; I need to be STOPPED

PMB is coming back to the Twin Cities as the show opener for uh, Hanson. I still plan to be there, mostly for the hot underage trim.* it's at the Quest too, which is an automatic strike against the show.

got the new Josh Kelley last week titled Almost Honest. it's pretty dec, but the guy at AllMusic nailed it when he said Mayer comparisons would dog Kelley wherever he went. if you took Mayer's Heavier Things and his forthcoming blues album and combined them, you might get something closely resembling Honest. not to say that's bad, because it's a good record, but it's not too original. oh well, at least Kelley learned to stray from the basic versechorusversechorusbridgechorus formula for songwriting.

I think that's it. now, let's see how I do with going to sleep.

well, I was gonna go to the fair today. but instead of that happening, I spent most of my day in and in transit to doctor's offices. curious about the events? let's BREAK IT DOWN

11:03a after being awake and in unbearable pain till 6:30a, I finally fell asleep only to be awakened by the same nauseating aches in my right foot. I decide to call a doctor.

11:46a I get off the phone with MinnHealth. my appointment at 1:45p confirmed, I decide to start getting ready.

12:32p ahh, a nice hot shower. but wait, my foot is in even worse pain now. I look down and my cuticle is hemorrhaging blood. ohhh fuck, this could be BAD.

1:45p at the MinnHealth, the orderly looks with disdain at my homemade dressing. the gauze was a deep red, and in real danger of coming off. the doctor comes in, looks at my toe, writes out two prescriptions, and tells me to get the fuck out of his office and call a podiatrist, pronto.

2:18p I'm at Cub Foods. waiting in line. I just want to fill my prescriptions. for some reason, people love to gawk at some poor fuck wearing beat up sport sandals with his big toe wrapped in bandages. gah, just get me out of here! finally, I got my codeine and antibiotics and jetted like a motherfucker.

2:40p I walk in the door of my house, pick up the phone, and dial the number of the podiatry clinic I was referred to. I ask for an appointment for Friday, only to be told there were no openings till the following Thursday. I politely tell the woman that my doctor said my need was urgent. her reply? 'We can fit you in now. Hurry, the specialist leaves at 4p.'

3:12p I limped my sorry ass in the specialist's office. a cool guy, we made iPod-centered small talk as he prepped me, and while waiting for the anesthetic to go into effect he told me about the 'sweet' guitar he bought at a garage sale the day before. the entire procedure took less than 25 minutes, and I was soon on my way, limping into the sunset.

that leaves me here. I'm drowsy as fuck from the pain killers, but if I go to bed I'll screw my sleep scedule for sure. so instead I'm posting here and checking out Snopes, hoping something cool will happen. ahh, goodtimes.
