1. It was dark and rainy all morning and now the sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the sun is shining. Hello, weekend!
2. I saw a two-car funeral procession go down 8th Ave. today. That made a little sad.
3. I'm excited to see Starlin Castro play for the Cubs at some point this season. We haven't had a young played promoted like this since Felix Pie. I'm hoping things go differently with Starlin.
4. And how cool a name is Starlin Castro?
5. This tweet from Keith Law cracked me up: "Carlos Gomez" is a Spanish phrase meaning "Willie Mays Hayes." (If you know baseball, it's funny.)
6. The Beatles & Wu-Tang mash-up album is amazing.
7. 99.99% of girls don't and never will understand sports.
8. I could name specific examples for #7, but that'd be rude.
9. Evan Turner's 40ft buzzer beater today is why March Madness is amazing.
10. The only thing better than Turner's shot was Thad Matta (Ohio St's coach) running towards the Michigan bench, pumping his fist, and yelling, "THAT'S WHAT I'M MOTHER FUCKING TALKING ABOUT!!!"
11. I'm sorry for cursing in my blog, Mommy.
12. Scouts have said the ball coming off Jason Heyward's bat sounds like a young Ken Griffey, Jr. or Albert Pujols. That's scary.
13. Can you tell I like baseball just a little bit?
14. And can you tell it's 3:30 on a Friday afternoon?
15. I started running again this week. It's a slow and steady process for me and my friend Asthma.
16. The SEC tournament being in Nashville has made traffic crazy. The only thing better than driving in a city of Southerner's is adding 30,000 more Southerner's for the weekend.
17. I had 8th row tickets to the John Mayer show in Louisville tomorrow and sold them to make a little cash. I kinda wish I going now that the weekend is approaching.
18. I'm not sure I'll ever hear the word "situation" the same after watching Jersey Shore.
19. I think I tweeted half the stuff I'm thinking of to say, but you're gonna read it anyways, so who cares?
20. I bought The Wire box set this week. I have only seen season one prior to this purchase, but the library was taking way too long to get season two to me; I couldn't wait any longer. I hope I love it.
21. I'm making it a point to try and read more books. When I say more, than means read books in general. I read the Kite Runner and it was great. Now the only problem is I'm four issues behind on ESPN the Magazine.
22. "Daughters" on the John Mayer trio album makes me angry. That song is so tragically over-played and that version is so tragically bad.
23. "Funny what seven days can change. A stand up n*#@$@. Now, you sit down to aim," might be my favorite Jay-Z lyric. Not because it's poetic or thought-provoking, but because anything involving a guy sitting down to pee is funny.
24. I have to go to the bathroom.
