Soak Up the Sun

"Soak Up the Sun" by: Sheryl Crow
I wish there was sun outside today to actually soak up ...


"Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by: Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Slider, You Stink.

Call Kenny Loggins because you're in the Danger Zone.  Seriously though, if you have never seen Top Gun, there just may be something wrong with you.  If it's any incentive, Tom Cruise does belt out the greatest bar pickup scene of all time:


Go watch Top Gun, now.  It's America.  It's good triumphing over evil.  It's funny.

The Madre Hill Rule

Today I'd like to present an interesting news story from Malvern, Arkansas.  




At the young age of 11-years-old, Demias Jimerson reminds a lot of people of Razorback great Madre Hill.  Like Jimerson, Hill attended Wilson Intermediate School and dominated the football field so thoroughly, the league invoked what came to be known as the Madre Hill Rule. Once Hill scored three touchdowns, if his team had a 14-point lead, officials banned him from scoring any more touchdowns. Now, for the first time since, the Wilson Intermediate Football League is using the Madre Hill rule again -- to tackle Demias Jimerson.  Via Fox 16 News.

Madre Hill in his prime:

Parks and Recreation

My current TV obsession is NBC's "Parks and Recreation", starring Amy Poehler and Aziz Ansari.  

In it's fourth season right now, Parks centers around the Pawnee, IN, parks and recreation department.  With so many different senses of humor, it is not hard to find a favorite character ... or least favorite for that matter.  Seasons 1-3 are available on Netflix.  Below is a clip from office head Ron Swanson:
