Movin' and Groovin'

I'm was in a "hatin' the playuh" mood yesterday. It probably had something to do with the stress I'm feeling about the college, so I took it out of the Bush administration. But I stand by what I wrote because that's what grown-ups do. Are you listening, other bloggers, who try to rationalize or minimize their written words with the infamous "I was only joking" excuse?

The best way to get a nasty mood or some stress out of your system is EXERCISE. Sitting on your ass and waiting for the crappy chemicals to leave your system on their own does not help. The body was made for motion so I did some motion this morning. I forgot to take shampoo to the gym and with my cowlicks, I look a little like Buckwheat right now, but a little humility is good for the soul.

Thinking about life lessons the other day because I listened to Nat King Cole's version of "Nature Boy," which contains one of music's most famous lyrics: "The most important lesson you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return." Here's another one: always talk about a person as if they were standing right there listening to you with a tape recorder in their hand.

What else is on my soul this morning? Had to cancel class last night because the prison was in-processing a busload of new inmates (called a "train") and there was no guarantee we'd see our classes before 7:30, so the other instructors and I decided to call it a night. My day job is okay but I have to find a higher paying job or another second job to make up for the one I'm losing. L. is sick and she's on my mind, and D. is kicking butt at the high school, the college, and her writing career. T. is surviving Boot, and Liz is still real sore from her climb on Sunday, but I'm damn proud of her effort and hope she keeps going.

"Williams and Holland's Law: If enough data is collected, anything may be proven by statistical methods."

Sent the below to my fantasy football league.

"Last night, Red Winger Jiri Fischer collapsed on the Detroit bench due to a "cardiac episode." He was successfully revived by EMTs after his heart stopped and he's stable and resting this morning.

The game against the Nashville Predators had been going for seven minutes when Jiri went down, so there was plenty of game to go.

But this is why Hockey is the class act of the four major sports: they cancelled the rest of the game and nobody bitched about it.

"It was obvious to everybody involved that it was the right decision," Predators coach Barry Trotz said. "It was very disturbing to both sides and I think the NHL recognized it, the players recognized it. To be quite honest, the game became very secondary. When a friend or a teammate was in danger like Jiri was in, then the decision was made for everybody to reschedule it."

Somebody send this article to the other leagues and their "star" players who pay lip service to the concept of teammates (you know who I'm talking about).

Hockey is truly a team sport.

Go Senators!"

And I may be sucking eggs in the OFFL, but my Yahoo! team is blasting the competition. :)
