Defragmenting The Hard Drive

Lots rattling around in my brain today, and the only way I know to clear it all out is to write it out in sort of stream of consciousness:

...I may be proven wrong on this, but I have no fear of a severe outbreak of a rare flu strain. Didn't we go through this with SARS and Mad Cow and all sorts of other diseases that we were worried about severe outbreaks? I think sometimes the media feels like they have to report on SOMETHING, so that usually just mention how the government's unprepared for this rare flu strain that's taken over Zimbabwe.

...The new iPod deal that can hold 15,000 songs (which my entire music library on CD is right at 2,000 songs...and if I could figure out how to transfer all my music from cassette tapes to my iTunes then I might could get it up to 5,000 songs--that's a lot of music, folks), 2,500 pictures and give you up to 150 hours of video won't be as successful as the regular iPod stuff. See, music is a different deal. You listen to music while you're doing other things. So, everybody can listen to music while you mow or walk somewhere or work out or whatever, hence they buy the music players and all that. But to watch shows you have to be sitting...which might work for people who travel a lot or whatever, but that market is so much smaller. I'd imagine there'll be plenty of sales, though, since everybody wants the latest gadgets. For whatever reason, though, I thought of some guy being able to become a zillionaire with something called "Porn on the Pod."

...I'll reiterate to the city of Dallas again: The Texas-OU football game is moving because they have the chance to make a mint by playing at their own stadiums. It isn't about the condition of the Cotton Bowl. That's just a politically expedient excuse, so save your cash. Take it from an Auburn fan who went through all that when that rivalry game went to the campuses, which, by the way, has made the rivalry more enjoyable...well, for Auburn fans. We've won it more since the move.

...I'm still exhausted, not sleeping well, and still have a ton to do. I still maintain that this year will be one of the hardest I've ever experienced personally, professionally, emotionally and spiritually.

...My senior guys Bible study is highly enjoyable and I love how they care about each other and pray for each other. They're suprisingly open and honest. In fact, this senior class is highly enjoyable. I only wish they had more time to build into the younger teens in our group. They could really use the help, insight and encouragement only seniors can give.

...I don't think the 10PM newscast is very worthwhile anymore. It's become all human interest stories.

...The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim got a lousy call last night, but they should've ratcheted it up and gotten the last out anyway. I've never had much patience for any team that says one or two calls blew it for them. Good teams overcome bad officiating. They just find a way and fight through it. Quit griping already.

...I still can't figure out why the majority of the world doesn't get into baseball or ice hockey.

...I can't figure out why the student ministry web devotional I do every day doesn't get many comments. I'm seriously thinking about stopping that one. It seems like a waste of time.

...I'm constantly amazed at how much two children form the same parents in the same environment can be so decidedly different and equally enjoyable.

...Lost and Found's latest release, Pronto, didn't disappoint. Three EXCELLENT songs from the most underappreciated, misunderstood band with a Christian bent since Pedro the Lion.

...busy weekend upcoming. Lots of work to do.
