Fool In The Rain

As I was driving home tonight on the Bluegrass Parkway, Fool In The Rain by Led Zeppelin, one of my favorite songs, came on the radio. I always get excited when it comes on because it is never played much, for whatever reason. As the song began to play, the remnants of Hurricane Rita began to smack my windshield. I thought to myself "Man, that's pretty weird". Then I rolled down the window and stuck my hand out. It is strange to feel rain pelt your hand while going 70 mph. Then I began to think "You know, I like rain."

This wasn't a new revelation for me, I was just reminded of the fact. Rain is one of those things that is easy to forget about or take for granted. So I began to think back to all the fun times I have had in the rain. I thought back to playing in the rain as a kid. I thought back to taking long runs in the rain. It is fun, I recomend it to anyone. I thought of all the soccer games I played in the rain. You could always slide tackle someone from 10 yards away if you timed it right. I thought of the 2003 UK/UL football game where it poured for an eternity, soaking the crowd. I thought back to my days in high school when I worked at the grocery store. During the summer, when it would thunderstorm, most employees would not go outside to retrieve shopping carts from the lot. But me and this other guy used to always go out during the storm and get them, simply for the fun. I thought back to last year when I got soaked while walking to class.

Rain really gets a bad wrap. I personally like it, especially thunderstorms. So with all that said, let's review the week......

-Better start with UK/UF. Florida THRASHED Kentucky, and while we were pretty much outmatched in this game, there's no excuse for letting ANY team score 49 points in a half. Even Hal Mumme's defenses weren't that bad. Once again, I call for a regime change.

-On the other hand, UL got SMASHED by the USF Bulls. I was actually planning on pulling for UL this season until they all started running their mouths about how they would run the table in the Big East and go undefeated and deserve a spot in the National Championship game. But now I think it's hilarious that they got beat by USF. What lesson do we learn from this? NEVER underestimate the USF Bulls, as was taught to Troy and I last year on NCAA '05 (right Troy?)

-Teams I will instead be pulling for this year: Texas, Wake Forest, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Virgina Tech.

-Tonights season premier of Crossing Jordan was interesting. Woody put the smack down on Jordan. Last season he was all like "I really like you. Let's hook-up", but she was all like "I really like you too but I think we should just be friends", so then Woody was like "All right, whatever girl" and then Woody got shot and almost died and Jordan was like "Oh Woody, I love you so much" and Woody was all like "Get out of my face fool." Tonight's episode took place 8 weeks after Woody was shot, and Jordan was all like "Woody, why haven't you called me since you got shot, you jerk!!" and Woody was all like "I'm so over you Jordan, so step off" And Jordan was all like "My life is falling apart without Woody around!!!" DRAMA!!!!!!!

-Skipped out of work early to play in the softball game this week and all I got was a big bruise on my wrist.

-There is always the person who, right before a test begins, asks "When can we see our test scores?" This kind of upsets me when people do this. It reminds me of my mother, who has been in school since I was in the third grade. You know that person who always sits down front and raises their hand to ask questions right when it is time for class to dismiss? That's Mindy Cooper. Anyway, after someone asked this question before a test this week, the girl next to me says to me "Why does everybody have to see their test scores like as soon as possible? I mean, is is too big of a deal to wait untill next class period?" All I could think was "Be still, my heart...."

-By the way, I DOMINATED the aforementioned exam.

-Drunk Guy At Football Game Quote of the Week: (as he is being escorted out by friends) "Hey everyone, look at me! LOOK AT ME!!! HA HA HA HA!

-Drunk Girl At Football Game Quote of the Week: (on phone with friend) I have been drunk since 12 o'clock!!! It's AWESOME!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!

-Troy Woodyard Quote of the Week #1: I walk into Troy's house and see that he has all his guitar equipment out in his living room. He looks at me and says "This is where the magic happens."

-Troy Woodyard Quote of the Week #2: Out of nowhere, says to Lucy " Hey....do you know about the corndog?"
