Spinning

Hey ... hope your day got off to a better start than mine. Woke up around 7a ... still no working water heater ... 90 seconds dodging sleet from the nozzle. Then went from that to a 8a dentist appointment. Then work.

But really the dentist wasn't that bad & while work is busier than usual right now, it was ok.

After work, straight from the bus, we went to the gym where I did a Cycle 60 class. I guess it's called spinning as well. It's really fun for exercise. The lights are off ... they have big TVs showing Lance Armstrong riding up mountains ... they play some good music (& some bad music) ... and a nice lady yells at you to work harder. Big fun.

My goal this year is to do three triathlons and a half-marathon. 8 days in ... I haven't done any of those things ...

I really like this song called "Spinning" by Jack's Mannequin ... sort of sums up what life can be life sometimes. Check it out on the "Lala" musical widget thing to the right.

I'm keeping quiet 'til there's no more sirens.
Lately its hard to keep the hinges on with all the noise.
I found my words when there was no one talking.
The room is spinning i have got no choice.
Be patient, i am getting to the point

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly.
I just waited with the lights turned out again.
I lost my place but i can't stop this story.
I found my way but until then,
I'm only spinning.

I'm keeping quiet 'til the phone stops ringing.
Lately it's hard to disconnect. I just want something real.
I found the words if i can just stop thinking.
The room is spinning i have got no choice.
Be patient, i am getting to the point.

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly.
So i just waited with the lights turned out again.
I lost my place but i can't stop this story.
I found my way but until then,
I'm only spinning.

You know what I think?

I think Ben Rothelisberger didn't suffer a concussion at all last week. I think he was so bored playing against the Browns ... that he fell asleep in the middle of the game.

I think that 2009 has a chance to be a pretty good year, if I put my mind to it.

I think that APD was right about House of Heroes. I think that their album ended up being my favorite disc of the whole year. See musical widget to the right.

I think that Willy Taveras is an upgrade over Corey Patterson. I think that the goofy singer currently vamping about on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve would be an upgrade over Corey Patterson ... even w/ all the makeup.

I think I shouldn't have eaten so many Cheeze Puffs earlier this evening.

I think I want to get in better shape. I think I want to do 4 triathlons this year.

I think I'm the only one up in our house right now.

I think God made me to do something. I think I am slow, but I think I will one day figure out what it is.

I think I just saw a commercial where a lady karate chopped an oversized donut and sprinkles sprayed all over.

I think I've stayed up too late.

I think I better wake up everyone who wanted to see the first seconds of 2009.

I think I like you DCV reader.

I think therefore I am?

I think, but I think it's better to do than think.

I think I'll see you next year.
