In the 2+ years that I've been in the NYC area, I've been looking for a creative outlet. When in both Amherst and Madison, I could easily let lose at my respective radio gigs (props to 91.1 WMUA & Z104). Much as I've tried to find something in New York (and trust me, performing weekly at Musical Mondays, if you can call it that, is a lot of fun - but it's not quite the same).
So here I am a few years after I let my LiveJournal go dormant, getting back into something I've enjyoed for a long time - writing. Just last week I was looking online at some old ed/op pieces I'd written for the Collegian, and realized how much I missed the freedom to just express my thoughts for what it's worth. I'm gonna try to be religious about updating this blog daily (provided I have computer access), even if it's with a minimal change, simply to keep the page constantly fresh.
it's the 1st of October, start of a new month, so why not start something else new (this blog, duh). It is also a Monday, and yep, work has been beyond boring, even for how my job usually goes. Thankfully, soon I'll be at the club drinking and singing showtunes (as is required on Monday). Tonight though requires split time, as the pats are playing MNF tonight against Cincinnati. Let the assault of Brady's Bunch continue (sorry Carson). So Splash & Gym bar, Larry's drinks (and they're 95% alcohol content) & some beer....isn't that how we should all spend MONDAY night.
In other sports news, the Red Sox post season schedule was announced: 6:30 on Wednesday, 8:30 on Friday. Those are great, as there's no need to miss part of the game Wedneday cause of work. Finish up at the office (the only day in the city again - gosh these LI days have got to stop), then head over to the bar, ready to begin the hunt- 11 More Wins! The Badgers also had a good weekend, not much through their own doing. Another subpar effort, but Wisconsin improves to 5-0, and moves up to 5th in the nation (much thanks to Oklahoma, Florida, West Virginia, and Texas for vacating spots on the undefeated list). Now two road games begining with the hated Illini. Oh I can't wait to run all over those FIBs (now can the defense manage to contain Juice Williams).
And as this is not going to simply be a sports only blog, this has to be one of the strangest news stories I've seen in a long time. I've always been a major advocate of oceans being superior to lakes and rivers, even in spite of such things as jellyfish, red tide, sharks, etc. While oceans may have all those, they are lacking in a brain eating amoeba. Don't believe me, well check out this story (even if such an event is rare).
I'll leave it short/sweet for day 1, and hopefully, whoever decides to read this, you get a little chuckle or enjoyment out of the day. Of course, if you know me, feel free to bitch to me about anything and everything through all acceptable means of communication (email, IM, cell - sorry I've stopped allowing carrier pigeon use).
I can see the headline on the back of the Herald now: "Bungled Bengals!" along with Tom brady's gawdy stats. Though I miss summer dearly, it's great to have football back, isn't it?
