1) I don’t write on my blog enough. I just have it sitting here. What a waste. The good news is that it is the leading referring site to Foamcraftinc.com, which is a really big deal, and you’re all a part of it.
2) I don’t miss college at all anymore. Yea, it was great time. Yea, I learned a lot there. Yea, I’ll never have a time in my life like it again. But in all honesty, I’m glad I’m passed it and in a new stage of life. The great times I had and the things I learned then are being applied to make my life more enjoyable now. And if I’m convinced that college was the best, and will always be the best, four years of my life, it makes it even harder to wake up in the morning. It’s a little easier when you believe that the best times are still to come.
3) I hate waking up in the morning. It immediately puts me in a bad mood. Too many times the only thing getting me out of my remarkably comfortable bed is the knowledge that at some point I’ll get to come back to it.
4) Jordan Crawford is a moron. He could have become one of the most beloved players in IU history by persevering and sticking it out through a seemingly intolerable situation. He could have taught us all a lesson about not giving up and fighting for what’s right. He could have had the entire Hoosier fan base respecting the crap out of him for being the last guy left from Sampson’s garbage bag. Someone may have even made a movie about the whole thing one day. Then he ran away and left poor Kyle Tabor as the only leader of the team. Seriously Jordan, you’re going to make Tabor be the captain of the team? Eff.
5) Fax machines are awful. They work sporadically at best, provide nothing an email can’t, and make terrible noises. Especially before 9am.
6) “Critters” are awesome. We have a lot at my house. We have a resident
groundhog, who although is greatly disliked by my parents, is completely breathtaking. The dude has thumbs. THUMBS! We’ve recently had a run in with a man-eating snapping turtle who was attempting to lay up to 83 eggs next to my garage. She was taken over a mile away, across two heavily trafficked roads in suburban Indianapolis, and found her way back in less than two days. Upon her return, she was bombarded with bottle rockets and firecrackers. She has since found a new place of residence, and we wish her only the best.
7) I’m really excited about next year’s IU basketball team. We won’t be good, and we certainly won’t make any sort of tournament, but I really like the idea of having absolutely nothing to lose game in and game out. Equally exciting, is that all of our players will be getting an absurd amount of playing time, grooming them for domination when they become upperclassman.
8) I love Noodle Day. Some people have casual Fridays, some people have little office birthday parties, we have Noodle Day. There’s this place on Pendleton Pike called Sandra’s Noodles, and it is delicious. Today was noodle day.
9) Roger Federer won’t win Wimbledon this year. Mark it down. He’s only won two tournaments (no majors) this year out of ten, three of which losing to Rafael Nadal. Of those three losses to Nadal, he’s only won a single set. As much as I thought he was going to be the best tennis player to ever live, it appears his rein on the top is coming to an end.
10) Things in life do NOT happen by chance. The timing in which events happen, the places we find ourselves, and the people we find ourselves with are NOT coincidences. And fortunately, for our own well-being, we’re not in control of any of it. I think I’ve always believed this, but had never really experienced it until recently, or at least never really paid much attention. But seriously, it’s borderline ridiculous how I can look at specific points in my life and see how each one of them has contributed to putting me exactly where I am right now. And as a side not, I’m really excited about where I am right now.
