Sunday Morning Musings, Century And A Half Edition

Good morrow everyone.

The rain it just won’t stop. I was lucky enough not to get poured on this morning on the way in to work, but the drops were falling. And now that I’m here inside the store and comfortably dry it’s coming down hard. This is the time that Chicken Little would start to wonder what’s going on. The thunder has been impressive thus far and the few bolts of lightning have certainly added to the effect. I’m glad to be inside, I just hope that the public feels the same way and stays inside their homes from the day.

Happy Sunday.

I was a lucky boy yesterday as we watched Green Lantern: First Flight here at work. It was a special sneak preview as the DVD hits stores this Tuesday. Don’t ask for my sources because honestly I don’t know what they are, I only know that they are invite only.

I’m also excited that there is a new Superman/ Batman: Public Enemies animated movie launches on the 29th of September this year. I love both of those guys and I have to admit that after buying and reading even just one Superman/ Batman comic book I am thinking that I may need more.

I was YouTubing videos this morning and treated myself to some Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum before my country disapproving colleague came in. After the country was Kings of Leon and now that I’ve started the Rick Dees countdown on the streaming radio I get to hear “Use Somebody” again. There’s also a strong chance that Taylor Swift will be on the countdown somewhere. I’m a lucky boy.

There’s a baseball game again this afternoon to watch. I’m not sure if I’m excited for it, if I’ll watch it out of habit, out of boredom or because there’s nothing else to watch at work… losing 2 extra innings games in a row has really been a hit to my enthusiasm.

The littlest brother Z sent me a text last night in disbelief that the Blue Jays were able to blow an 8 run lead yesterday. He asked if I thought that Doc Halladay should be traded, my honest answer was this: In the long run yes, in the short term no. I know that Blue Jays fans may be complaining too loudly that we aren’t in the play-offs. Maybe we got spoiled in the late 80’s and early 90’s. And maybe it has something to do with the Raptors and the Maple Leafs being below the post season line in their leagues as well. Either way, maybe trading Doc to a contender in the National League and letting him have a chance at a ring and hoping to rebuild the team here in Toronto is the right thing to do. Oh, and get rid of JP Ricciardi while we’re at it. I think his time is up.

Got an offer from Poppa Z this week for some Argo tickets next weekend. That is a pretty cool offer as I’ve never been to see the double blue in action. I’ve longed to sit in the stands and let out a big long yell of Argoooooos.

Things got busy so it’s taken a long while to write this thing today what with the rain stopping and people wanting service at our store. Jerks.

Like wham!
