The Masters golf tournament starts today. I always enjoy watching that. Such a beautiful and interesting golf course.
I may even play Augusta on my PS3 today to celebrate.

Sounds like Colbert is taking over for Letterman. This should be interesting.

Let's go Pens!

 

[shutyertrap]

Let's go Lakers!

Wait.

When do they draw the ping pong balls for the draft? Never had to care before! For that matter, basketball being done for us in April is truly a rare experience.

Where is that hockey thread? (Rummaging through dusty attic)
Love me some playoff hockey.

it's 4:20am
he wonders when the last time that he slept
he remembers 2:15am
but then was he really asleep
or had he just been in the area in-between
the demiliterized zone between awake and asleep
he remembers how it used to be
and then a round of pain shoots through him like mortars in the night
and he forgets everything
except why he doesn't keep guns in the house
but everyone has their burdens and this one is his
at least he has that
no name or cause but at least he can call it his
what's that
what was he remembering
oh
yes
the way it was
before his burden moved in
uninvited
unwanted
unneeded
un
his brother always said it was like a Jedi mind trick
the way he could turn it on and off
like a light switch
turn his head and he could sleep within a minute
he can still do it
when the pain doesn't shoot through his wretched body
too young to be old
too old to be young
he throws on a T
and heads down the stairs
there's a reason he doesn't keep it up there
he takes an old glass from the shelf
two fingers of Doctor Jack's Magic Elixir
he orders from the barkeep in mind only
a sip to warn the pallet
and the rest flows
his belly is already warm as he lays down
he hears the robin's morning chirp
as his burden drifts away
he soon follows
tomorrow will be soon enough
for another battle

The nurse was trying to sleep next to me. She told me I'd had all I could have until morning.

today when I needed it, my phone decided to play it's game of "i'm going to **** with you" by showing a fully charged battery as dead 20 minutes after I left the house. Yet somehow several hours later I turn it on for ****s 'n giggles and the battery is showing as full. Ordered a Nexus 5 when I got home.

Made the day of taking my Grandmother to her Drs appointments and meeting my mum at the train station mid way there a bit inconvenient as far as timing goes when you cannot check in with any one and you have to hope that everyone made the appropriate connections.
