I've Got Nothing

--I honestly feel saddened about Eight Bells having to be euthanized on-track at Saturday's Kentucky Derby. I hate to incorporate humor into this story, but I found out what happened via ESPN.com, which had the headline "Death Dulls Derby Luster." My line of thinking was as follows: "So Death Dulls won the Derby...oh no!" (At least ESPN.com avoided using their usual cliched headlines, such as "The 'Bells' Toll For Thee.")



--As embarrassing as it is to admit it, I watched the last 30 laps of the redneck race on Saturday night. I don't know anything about NASCAR, but I'm pretty sure Kyle (?) Busch, despite his claim otherwise, intentionally put LIL' E!!! into the wall. Or at least he used LIL' E!!!'s vehicle to stabilize his. Either way, I know what I saw and Busch turned his wheels into LIL' E!!!'s car.



--Eh, I don't really have anything else to say, and I don't want to put a bunch of redundant, even-less-funny-than-usual thoughts ('Boy, those Celtics sure showed the Hawks...that team showed a lot of pride! Celtic Pride?' Ecch, I can only imagine what my mind would spew at 3:30 am).

Random Musings, Vol. 1

--Okay, so if Game 1 of the Celtics/Hawks series resulted in a 104-81 Boston win, and game two once again went the way of the leprechaun, 96-77, what can we surmise? Well, nothing is guaranteed in the playoffs, but you can be damn sure that come game seven, Atlanta will be favored by a point. Just wait until they uncork the ass-kicking they have in store for the C's by the time game ten rolls around.

--I don't hate anyone, but I basketball-hate Linas Kleiza (or should it be a general "sports-hate?"). Why must he decide to have career games against the Los Angeles Lakers? Granted, it has not yet translated into any overall success in the victory department, but I do not enjoy seeing him show off his confusingly deep repertoire.

--A message for any and all university advisors who may be reading this post: JUST TAKE THE DAMN HOLD OFF MY RECORD! I CAN SCHEDULE NEXT YEAR'S CLASSES MYSELF!

Read bracketed text for an extended rant if so desired: [JUST BECAUSE YOU CHOSE A CAREER THAT AMOUNTS TO DECIPHERING ELEMENTARY SCHEDULING CONFLICTS FOR EIGHT A DAY, DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN JERK ME AROUND BECAUSE I DID NOT CREATE A LIST OF DESIRED CLASSES! GIVE ME YOUR INPUT IF YOU WANT, BUT I KNOW THE REQUIREMENTS FOR MY MAJOR AND I'M GOING TO GO HOME AND CHANGE THINGS TO MY LIKING ANYWAY!]

--Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping for a sweep, but I do loves me some Allen Iverson.

--Question: If Sasha Vujacic can pull of the hairnet look while retaining some sense of masculinity, why can't Andre Miller?

--Finally, a belated congratulations to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. A double-digit victory in state where you were outspent over three to one is just the jumpstart you need. Ride this wave all the way to the nomination--and beyond...
