OK, so I've not been on the stick updating my blog as of late. Yes, life and sometimes sheer laziness does have a way of creeping up on you and not allowing you to live up to your full potential. I am determined in 2010 and beyond to not allow procrastination to dominate my life so much as it did the last decade. Enough is enough. There are things to do, people to meet and places to get to, and I cannot wait. Stuff needs my attention, and it will ALL get done so help me!
So, without further ado, I want to wrap up a few things that transpired since my last post in August 2009....
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE (FALL 09) OK, I admit to not watching the entire series this fall, but one of my favorites early on, Russell Ferguson went on to be crowned this season's champ. Yes, I admit he was my early fave to win it all and he actually did! I have a knack for picking em lol Congrats, Russell!...Next up...2010 American Idol...
THE 2009 MILWAUKEE BREWERS I admit, I had high hopes for this team heading into 2009, and for the first two thirds of the season I was riding high. Unfortunately pitching ultimately cost this team another trip to the postseason and they finished with a sub-dismal 80-82 record. What will 2010 bring? I am hoping for a championship, but I doubt it. I'll be happy with a winning record and/or another postseason berth...
2009-10 GREEN BAY PACKERS OK, while the Brewers tanked this season, The Pack started to, going 4-4 heading into a game at Tampa Bay, which hadn't had a victory till we gave them one. But after that loss at Tampa Bay, they somehow found the magic to go on a five game winning streak, losing at Pittsburgh by one point and then kicking Seattle's ass. Right now they are sitting at 10-5 with a trip to Arizona this coming weekend. Win or lose, they are playoff bound with the NY Giants loss last weekend. They have as good a chance as anybody in the NFC right now as Minnesota is starting to tank!!
POLITICS 2009 Really now, don't get me started on this. I am not a fan of Brother Barry Obama's healthcare plan and his overall smugness at redistributing the wealth. It will ultimately fail. While the healthcare bills may pass both houses of Congress, my prediction is that there will be many lawsuits filed and the Constitutionality of how this all passed Congress will be brought to fruition and challenged over and over again in different federal courts. I predict that we will not have socialized healthcare, but the laws will be overhauled in a way to make it less punitive for peole to get. I'm just not sure about this whole deal. I'm watching it, tho...
YEAR END MUSIC Right now, some of the pop tunes I'm enjoying on the radio include these:
Empire State of Mind Jay-Z Ft. Alicia Keys
Sexy Bitch David Guetta ft. Akon
Meet Me Halfway Black Eyed Peas
Tik Tok Kesha
Pretty Wings Maxwell
just to name a few... there are many more, but these are the few that come to mind...
