I am a grape in the sun...
Man, that's huge
A billion is a gigantic number to imagine. Comcast made a 50+ billion dollar bid for Disney, which btw was rejected sometime this weekend. Cingular wireless, owned by SBC, is about to buy AT&T wireless for $40 billion. That's an obsene amount of money. In case you didn't know exactly how much a billion is, check it out. It would take you 30 years to count to a billion. That's just how big that number is. Did you know that there are two types of billions? There's the American Billion, represented as 1,000,000,000 and then there's the British Billion, represented as a million TIMES a million. Good Lord, that's huge. Anyway, that's the random factoid for today...
Touchy touchy
I know I must have talked about this before, but the world as of late has gotten soft, much too sensitive to issues that they shouldn't be so completely obsessed with. Potical Correctedness is absolutely out of control. A person can get in trouble just by saying, "Man, I'm tired." Now I know that's a total exaggeration, but it's totally possible as well. I mean, I'm all for not offending people and all that, but nowadays, it seems like ANYTHING you say is offensive. And in a way, I guess it's always gonna be like that. You can't think something or say something that everyone's gonna agree with. That's the whole beauty of diversity, difference of opinion, we're not all robots, we can think for ourselves and want different things. But seriously, there are bigger things to be focusing our attention on than what's offensive and what's not. There are people dying of hunger, war, people who are killing, victims of crime, etc. I think it's time to refocus our energy.
Donkey man
I am super stubborn. I hate when my doctor tells me I can't do something for a month. And for some reason I always think I can heal pretty quick. Such is the case with my current shoulder ailment. I went to go play basketball with a few of the guys yesterday, and actually played games. Of course, I didn't go full out or anything, but it was so good just to run. There were a few times when I would instinctively react and reach out for a ball with my left hand, and thereby remind me the pain in my shoulder, but other than that, it was okay. I'm just crossing my fingers that to get back to 100% will not take too long. But one thing is for sure, I am fat and WAY out of shape. Time to do something about it.
Appreciations of the day
-nice relaxing weekends far far(well not THAT far) away with that special someone
-free sodas from the fridge
-napping at lunch
-Figuring out exactly where degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius are equal
"I had a dream that jealousy
Was a thing of the past
And we all understood
It's all vanity and it won't last."
