Congrats to my cousin Erin and her engagement. Another wedding to add to the 2007 calendar!
In an exciting match last night - Andre Agassi defeated some Pavel guy. One down, six to go! It had 3 tie-breakers and Agassi was even down 0-4 in the third but then he finally started to look loose and kicked ass back to the days I remember of his abilities. If he can stay loose through the tournament, he actually could cause trouble for the seeded players. He plays again Thursday. Gotta love those middle of the night matches that are unique to the US Open. This match finished around 11:30 last night - 20,000+ fans were standing on their feet for Agassi on match point.... don't usually see that at all in a tournament, let alone in a first round match.
Today is the anniversary of some of the devastation in New Orleans caused by Hurricane Katrina. Stop and say a prayer today for the families who had their lives changed by this thing and still continue to recover - mentally, physically, emotionally. It's still unfortunate that Michael Brown still insists he "was right" and the entire Bush administration screwed up yet will never admit it. Sometime in order to fix the future, you have to admit wrong in the past. Hell-of-a-job!
This week is my self declared Cyclone Shirt week. I have some 20 shirts that say Iowa State or have Cyclone colors.... so I'm wearing one every day this week in anticipation of our awesome season ahead. What's different from every other week when I wear Cyclone stuff? Well that's a good question... one that I really don't have an answer to. This week is just a concentrated effort to do so, unlike some weeks when it just happens by chance. Cyclone preview is coming, don't worry. I still stick by my 9-3 prediction though.
Have a great Tuesday!
Song of the Day - Just for Jim, he's in a Styx mood so I'll list the three songs by Styx that I can tolerate. Mr. Robato, Come Sail Away (makes me think of Cartman EVERY time now!), and The Best Of Times. Are you happy now Jim?
Video of the Day - Gotta see this to believe it. The new technology to help those of you whom have parallel parking trouble... IS HERE! I was a little freaked watching this video, but a Lexus can now park itself. No joke!
Webpage of the Day - Top 50 searched items on Wikipedia the past 3 days. I thought #7 was cool for obvious reasons:) There were some searches that I can't mention and wonder why someone would search for them..... but to each his or her own.

"Woah mama I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law. *boom* *boomboom* *boom* Lawman has put an end to my running, and I'm so far from my home."
How can you not like "Renegade?" Or "Babe?" Or "Suite Madame Blue?" Or "Lady?" Or "Blue Collar Man?" Or "Too Much Time on My Hands?" If you want, you can borrow this great album from me and give Styx another chance.
