I'm back...and married!

To steal a page out of Tom's playbook: "Where did the time go? It felt like my last post was just in April." I thought that line was genius and you know what? It is genius and it fits perfectly with my blog as well. April...oh how I miss thee. A lot has happened since that springtime month as I've completed another semester of school, blackedout at several parties (including my infamous bachelor party) and, somewhere along the way, got hitched. That's right...I'm now married. So really nothing is going in my world. Besides marrying my 8-year girlfriend/finacee, I'm currently in search for a job before I, hopefully, start subbing during the school year. I also need a few classes to still sign up for at IU and I need to buying things to fill up this apartment we've got. Fun, fun, fun...til her daddy takes the t-bird away. That's how it goes.

Now that you're caught up, let's get to the links.

Boxers...not briefs
In Indiana Pacer-land this morning, big doings are happening. JO is traded!! Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music of a Pacer fan dancing on his 200-card JO collection. Oh how we will miss thee. Ya know, he actually used to be kinda good. Six-time all-star, cornerstone of the franchise and I don't know what he did during his suspension from the NBA after the brawl, but he was never the same. Injuries just kept coming. Remember during the 03-04 season, O'Neal was third in MVP voting. Of course, Peja Stojackovic finished 4th, one spot ahead of Kobe, so take that for what you will. What a long time ago.

Draft night is tonight and the Pacers now hold the Nos. 11 & 17 picks. Will they package them for a higher pick in the top 5 maybe (call me Pat Riley), or will they stand still and get two quality players with those two picks? It will be interesting to see and also to see how Chicago screws up the No. 1 pick. Expecting big things tonight.

Just finished watching the original Planet of the Apes. Just needed an excuse to run this photo.

It's Beetles...with an "A"
In moptop news, if you like Guitar Hero and Rock Band then you're in for a treat as one of those brands will get permission to use Beatles songs very soon. This might actually get me playing these games. I prefer the real guitar and I tried Guitar Hero once and absolutely sucked, but I'm awful at everything the first time I try it so maybe after some practice I could handle rocking out to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds or Taxman.


You tube...no you're a tube

Awesome video of Paul singing the Beatles classic "A Day In The Life" for the first time in concert this summer in Liverpool of all places. Very cool. He fucks up the lyrics in the middle, which is weird since that's the part he wrote of the song. Kudos to Macca.
