First blog post of the year!

I fell and bumped my head skiing, but I feel like I could create a really good DDR chart right now so maybe it's a good tradeoff?

Or maybe my brain has wound itself back a year. No, I don't want to repeat 2007! NO!!!!!!

The Dick Clark New Year's show this year was really, really good. Fergie and will.i.am prove that the Black Eyed Peas are real, true performers live. Well, real and true mean the same thing (shit) but, (wow, Japanese grammar comma use) considering the MyHumps-reputation they have right now it's a very good thing to see those two go out and just kick ass. will.i.am especially, because his lead single absolutely bombed. But ignoring that, they were just really great. Did you know the Black Eyed Peas do have a reputation for having very good live shows? Before Fergie was added to the group and they got really famous, that's what they were primarily known for. They always played with a live band, and they probably stole the show during many an opening act. Seeing will.i.am actually being able to sing well made me really happy. And Fergie? Wow.

But yeah. The ski trip was pretty nice except for the horrendous cold going up the lifts. HO-rrendous. Left everybody pretty tired. Also, more moguls would've been nice, but I think those have fallen out of fashion or something. Don't know. It's so fun just to fly off a mogul when you're supposed to weave your way around them... I mean, what fun is weaving when you have to weave on ice? Yeesh, leave that to the seals and walruses and Walors. I'm no St. John's Prep Ski Team champion, for sure. But the random Kid's Funland glade or whatever was really fun, funny and... knee? Breaking. If you weren't careful. That would suck! No, actually, me Greg and Rakesh got lost because we followed a path that looked taken, but, damn you Robby Frost, it suddenly stopped being taken. New Hampshire mysteries. No, but it was really fun. Lots of random bumps and random bumps. Those are the best parts of ski trails! Even though they may not be on the trail...

The Iowa primary happened and the media still is the worst thing in the world. I've thought enough about this recently and I think that's the strongest opinion I have about it; I don't want to address the actual meat of the topic because that's been left out too long to rot. Seriously, I've heard enough of myself talking about it ugh .

I'm tired, but something in me woke up. Do I have to be tired for that something to wake up? I've been spending a lot of time trying to get it to wake up without me lacking sleep, and I think one way is a lot of physical exercise. but enjoyable physical exercise, and I haven't had time to hang around the DDR mat enough in order to get reacquainted with it. Whatever. This something in me isn't completely important.

Wow, that freewrite led to somewhere. Hmm.

Welcome to 2008. We will enjoy our stay.
