2. My mom got me a new Colts shirt for the Super Bowl. I can never wear it again on a game day. I'm paranoid like that.
3. "The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone" -Orison Marden
4. I let my thoughts overwhelm me earlier this week. It felt good, in an odd way, to feel such pain, to feel anything really. The joy of letting that pain go is much, much better.
5. Spending Saturday evening with my Dad at an Eric Clapton concert was one of the best evenings of my life. Days like that are the ones you hold onto forever.
6. The Cubs are on television Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Spring Training games can be a pain to watch, but it will make me really giddy for baseball season to start.
7. My shoes are cooler than your shoes.
8. One of my favorite things about Twitter is seeing the Oklahoma Thunder teammates talk to each other. That team has chemistry out the wazoo and will be very, very good in a couple years.
9. My February concert list was pretty impressive: BB King, Buddy Guy, 'Keb 'Mo, John Mayer, Roger Daltrey, and Eric Clapton. I'm semi-bragging and semi-wasting words, but that list is amazing.
10. Mayer played a new song the other night. It sounds like something he used to write. That's an odd statement since he's the same guy, but I think it's true. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNhJycRTqVo
11. Trader Joe's microwave brownies are pretty neat (just add water & microwave for a minute) and semi-delicious, but for a dollar more you could get ten times the brownies already made.
12. It was almost a let-down when Hawaii didn't get washed away by a tsunami on Saturday. I'm glad it didn't happen, but the news had it so hyped up.
13. The NCAA tourney starts two weeks from tomorrow. I'm hoping my brackets turn out better than they have the past two years.
14. Gatorade dropping Tiger Woods as a spokesperson might be the biggest sports-marketing move ever. Adidas dropped Kobe after the rape trial, but they are not the biggest player in the shoe market. As both a marketing guy and a sports fan, I couldn't believe Tiger was dropped. He is golf.
15. I told myself I wouldn't write all of these things about sports and John Mayer. How'd that go for me?
16. It's 1:34 in the AM and my alarm goes off at 6:54. I'm gonna grab my five plus hours of sleep and enjoy Thursday.
17. "I wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdictless life. Am I living it right?"
