Saturday Observations

I abhor doing resumes. I especially despise toiling away on them to upload on a potential employer's website only to discover that you still have to fill in all the information anyway!

The Tribe seems to be off to a blazing start this year as 2008's Cy Young winner, Cliff Lee, drops to 0-2. What is it with that team having reigning Cy Young winners falter right out of the gate? It happened with Sabathia too....but he's consistent because he stumbles out of the gate every year. This year, however, he doesn't have a nice, cushy NL Central division to fall back upon for victories. And I hate the Yankees!


I caught a picture of Tiger in the green at the Masters. Unless they're starting to make the jacket out of foliage, I don't think he'll be wearing one this year. I like Tiger--especially since he gets people to watch golf that normally wouldn't. Not to mention the fact that he's incredibly talented. He'll be back to form...give him time!

It's amazing what a difference there is in the topography between cities like Las Vegas and Pittsburgh. It's difficult getting re-acclimated to driving on roads that are narrow and replete with hills as opposed to the wide open expanse of Vegas. However, it's nice to deal with people that don't have a wide open expanse between their ears as possessed by most of the population in Vegas.

I'm only a scant few chapters into Columbine by Dave Cullen but I can tell you that thus far, it grabs you and prods you to want to read more! Seems the reviews I've read about how well written it is are right on the mark.

I caught a promo on the Discovery International channel about a special on cults that airs next Friday. I had forgotten that the Jonestown massacre was the largest loss of American civilian life until 9/11. Amazing how we forget the little details over time. (Not that it's an insignificant detail...just curious as to how not many people even remember that event nor mention the amount of life lost.)

Speaking of "Lost", it's still the most interesting show on TV (come on...you didn't think I'd go much longer without mentioning it did you? ;) ) I still have my fingers crossed that it doesn't end up like the X-Files, which drowned in its own mythology.

And finally upon reading these observations again, why is it that I have the voice of Larry King in my head? Now you will too!

:D

Happy Easter everyone!

Excuse me, sir, allow me to say that it is refreshing to read the blog of someone who 'gets it.' I've only just read this post but I can't wait to read the others. Please do me the service of reading my blog, and, if you deem it worthy, follow it so that I might be able to have easy access to your future posts. Awesome Donnie Darko pic.
