A bit o' randomness

Well it's another Monday, and I've got nothing for you guys this morning. At least nothing structured, my brain seems to be taking a bit longer than normal to come out of its POST routine. That said, here's whatever random thoughts that have managed to escape the clutches of my mind.

Peter Jennings died this weekend at the age of 67. Everyone says that he was way to young to die, and while I will not disagree in his case, for myself, I think that's about right. 70-plus for myself. I don't really want to live too old you know. Sure I might miss out on some really cool technology or experiences but I don't want to be that old decript guy who is completely dependant on a staff of nurses. Waitaminute... staff of nurses.... mmmmmmm. But you get what I'm saying, right? Maybe it's because I'm too proud but I just do not like the idea of not being able to do things for myself. Anyway, RIP Peter Jennings.

I used to think that I pay way too much a month for cable TV, what I mean is if I had to save money on my monthly fixed expenses right away, cable TV is the easiest target. But this weekend I was thinking about this and I've decided that cable TV is only second to my cable internet service in terms of return on investment to me. I just happen to have a lot of free time and I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for the combination of entertainment available to me from my TV, computer and Xbox. I watched a *lot* of movies this weekend. I don't even know what movies I watched anymore because I wasn't really paying attention. TV is now entertaining my subconcious more than my concious mind. As if I wasn't already a sucker for corporate advertisements.

I really can't wait for sports to start again. And by 'sports' I only recognize NBA, NFL and NCAA basketball and football. Go Bruins, Lakers and I don't really have a NFL team I root for but thank god it's on every Sunday and Monday. Add to that NCAA football every Saturday and NBA games just about every weeknight and yeah, I'm good until June. :)
