Random Thursday Morning Thoughts




- NFL cheerleading twins
- You guys were a little rough on The Messenger yesterday. It was a crazy mistake, but I wouldn't be able to get the masthead straight if I was in charge.
- I started watching "There Will Be Blood". So far so good. And I'm almost finished with the audio book, "The Great Gatsby." I really like it.
- Hey Beatle fans, did you remember that Paul is dead?
- I think raw cookie dough is better than a cookie.
- I had indecision this morning as to which photo to upload to accompany these Random Thoughts.
- A marine was arrested in Dallas yesterday in connection with the death of another marine. The whole thing sounds eerily like the movie "In The Valley Of Elah." (Which, by the way, is a Biblical reference that I should have known)
- I think I might get a second home in Lake Dallas. I wonder if it's a fixer-upper?
- "FORT WORTH -- A longtime defense attorney and judge who died in the hospital on Jan. 25, one day after being hit by a car, died of natural causes, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office." I'm no doctor, but wouldn't the car accident maybe have something to do with it? Are they telling me that's just the greatest coincidence in the history or ever?
- I watched a little bit of "So You Think You Can Dance" last night since the auditions were in Dallas. I couldn't turn away. And one chunky girl was really giving it the what-for.
- Speaking of TV, Decatur's James Wood is on that invention a lot.
- Coldplay's new "Viva la Vida" is great.
- With gas prices the way they are, those Friday road trips to high school football games will be a little costly.
- Not that there's much content, but the Jacksboro paper has a new site that allows easy reading of the paper that dang near beats anything I've ever seen. Back issues, too.
- Lot's of hubbub yesterday about Scott McClellan's new book that bashed the President. Man, it seems like W has had more people turn on him than any other President.
- I got an email this morning from a girl I worked with when I was a bank teller in college. Hadn't heard from her since the 1980s. Me loves me the Internets.
- M. Night Shyamalan has a new movie coming out called "The Happening." His name will probably be cooler than the movie and, let me guess, I bet it has a surprise ending.
- Mariah Carey jazzes me for some reason. Edit: Here's the youtube video which includes the worst first pitch ever.
- "Mark Madden ESPN Radio in Pittsburg has been 'permanently removed' from his on-air because of a statement essentially saying that he was disappointed to hear Senator Ted Kennedy was near death because he was hoping that Kennedy would live long enough to be assassinated." Oh, my.
- The CASA chapter in Wise County (which I've never fully understood the purpose of) had a little trouble in leadership last month. But it could be worse. Much worse.
- I use garlic salt instead of regular salt.
- Blackhawk helicopters are practicing emergency take offs and landings near the Motor Speedway this morning. Hopefully no Black Hawk Down.
- CBS will put some Ultimate Fighting/Mixed Martial Arts on the television this Saturday night. First time on "regular" prime time TV. We love blood. There will be blood.
- I wonder what happened to this girl that I saw in the Dallas Morning News obits yesterday?
