Since I’m foregoing a work out, I figured I get some good ol’ fashioned bloggin’ in. I’m sure you’ve all been waiting with bated breath1
First things first, plans for ye olde blog. As I haven’t had a chance to elucidate the internet spiders/crawlers3 yet, this seems like an appropriate time to discuss this. Obviously, I haven’t felt the urge to continue to blog daily, if only because it is an extraordinary drain and obligation of time to be able to blog everyday. That notwithstanding, I still want to blog at least weekly, probably over the weekend, to at least publish to some degree how my workout goals are going, as I found it particularly useful to be able to look back now and count how many days I actually worked out in a given week or for all of Lent. There are still certainly many things for me to want to write about as relates to various and random subjects and perhaps I may try my hand at some fiction4, or other forms of writing.
Moving on to food for thought: As I listened to the electromagnetic energy converted into audible tones in my car, I heard that this jewelry store was the official diamond supplier of the Tennessee Titans. I immediately thought, do people actually buy shit because it is the official whatever of their favorite sports team? Do they think, hmm, I need a cold beer… I wonder what the players in the NFL drink? Coors Light you say? What about more specifically, the Dallas Cowboys? Miller Lite it is. I can’t imagine this influences people, but companies must believe it is worthwhile to be the official sponsor of something, especially given the ferocity and fervor with which they pursue such sponsorships. I mean, couldn’t you just advertise like normal and actually advertise more since they won’t have to pay this other organization for the aforementioned sponsorship? Interesting movie idea for your film students out there, in the genre of Super Size Me, try to live every aspect of your life for a month, filmed, but only using officially sponsored products of the NFL, or some sports team. You’re welcome for your eventual Spirit Award, although I expect a mention in your acceptance speech.
Finally, I haven’t worked out at all while in Nashville, nor over the weekend, so I’ve got an uphill battle ahead of me starting tomorrow. I did watch ABC tonight and decided that they totally have Wednesdays all sewn up. I’d never watched Better Off Ted before tonight, and it has a solid, Arrested Development feel to it. I’m in. Naturally, Scrubs is on before Better Off Ted, so that’s apparently a solid hour there. Then Lost. No words necessary, beyond the fact that I’m totally stoked to be able to watch the entire series start to finish, when it’s all said and done. Plus, I imagine that they will put out a compilation that shows everything in chronological order, which will also be pretty sweet… like a whole new series to watch through5. Finally, the night ends with The Unusuals. I caught the beginning of the first episode as we record an extra bit every time we record Lost, and I was interested…. but not interested to actually watch the following week. Caught it again tonight for an entire episode, and yeah, that’s a solid show. Smells like my DVR will be working overtime, especially since South Park is also on at 9 pm. So yeah, good tv is out there AND on a major network, too. Amazingly shocking.
Catch you on the flipside.
1This phrase has an interesting background. You should look it up2.
2I just read Yucatan Yacking Youth again and decided to do another callback to an earlier blog. In other news, I get an obscene number of non-straight related comments on that blog because I have use a word that can be used for those people, although I used it more as “stupid”. Learned my lesson, as you can see here.
3The bulk of my viewers, as I hesitate to call them “readers”.
4Perhaps not.
5I lied when I said no words necessary. I meant, no descriptive words necessary as to explain the badassness of this hour of tv. Obviously, you can see I had more words relevant and pertaining to LOST.
