the ball is tipped…

the 2010 ncaa championship game was something else! of course, not as good as the 2009 win by the tarheels, but the bulldogs put forth a great effort. and my overall (ridiculously biased) assessment is that dook didn’t win, they just didn’t lose. big difference.

tulips are officially my favorite flower. roses and lillies are nice too. not like i’m deflecting flower deliveries. 🙂

not much else to say today except that it’s been a VERY long week. here’s some feel good music to bring in the weekend. if this isn’t enough, check out the mixpod player to the right ——>
it’s a very cool widget that allows you to make your own playlist from youtube. enjoy!

the next 24 hours involved an ambulance, hospital and me realizing i knew nothing about him. couldn’t recall his address, didn’t know who to contact. i’m pretty sure i called his cousin and apparently his mother because when he came to in the hospital he said “why did you call my mother?” hmmmm.

this story kind of goes down as one of those, live, learn, reflect… then slap your former self periods of life. based on what i experienced i could make negative generalizations about the men who are/do the following: cancers (june to be more exact), 6’4″, have non-gender specific first names, have first names as last names, are only children, tell jokes, call me by my government name, dream (too) big…
