25-VIII-2006 or All good things...
by Aaron Shurtleff on August 25, 2006
Last night was the last night of the regular kickball season. The playoff tournament is going to take place while I am in Denmark, so I am done. I will miss kickball. I will definately have to play again next season. I mean, I'm bad, but it's a blast!
Also, for the second time in my life, I engaged in kareoke. Same result as last time: people laughed and looked embarrassed for me, while I had fun. I did a stunning rendition of "Bad Medicine" by New Jersey's own Bon Jovi. All hail me! :D
The song of the day, of course, must be "Bad Medicine"! Imagine it being sung wildly off key, and you'll get the effect. ;)
12 days. I'm starting to feel the pressure in my chest. Good thing I got all of the wild oats out last night! ;)
My throat still hurts. What I lack in skill, I make up for in volume and enthusiasm.
Do I have anything to talk about other than kareoke? Nothing that comes to mind easily.
I just heard about the passing of Maynard Ferguson. I'm not all that big into jazz or trumpets, but I did happen to see a show of his, and he was great. He lived a pretty full life, though, I think, and that's as much as anyone can hope for in this crazy world.
Moving on to the weekend!!!

9-VIII-2007 or Going to the Kickball!
I am ready to go!! :) I really think we might win one tonight. If not, I'll still get to go to the bar and drink my sorrows away! Go »Bonus post: Things I Think I Think
I was replying to Scott's post in Decidedly Undecided, and I started thinking it's nice to be posting again. Even if people were to find my opinions funny or misguided or flat out wrong, if the thought is out there, people can see it, and if I have an error in my thinking, maybe they can help me see things in a different light. I like that. Go »25-IV-2007 or Ze pearl is in ze river
That's a quote from a weird movie I saw back in the day. I think it had Chevy Chase and more vertically challenged people than I can count (including the famous Billy Barty!). The details are sketchy at this point, but I believe there was a secret message to be passed to the person who gave the code phrase, "The pearl is in the river." Go »5-XI-2008 or Mentiroso!
Yeah, my espanol is muy malo. I feel like I should just come out and admit that I was probably lying yesterday. I have a habit (preference, actually) for claiming I voted for whoever wins the election, not matter whether it is true or not. Go »1-IX-2006 or TT4N!
Well, this will be the last time I blog here until 9/18 or so, when I will be back from vacation. Barring a European internet cafe, or some such nonsense. (How does one get the little accent on the e? Go »
