It's 7am and I'm wide awake!

Hello again! So it's been about a week or so since my last posting, but for once it isn't for lack of interest. I've been working all nights this week and the weekend leading up to it was pretty hectic as well. So needless to say my routine has been a little off and I really haven't had an opportunity to sit down and write an entry. But it's 7am, finished my last night shift a couple of hours and I'm wide awake and moderately bored. Although the first thought might be to sleep, I'm pretty energized since I'm done for the week and want to do a few things before sleeping. However nothing opens until 8am so I have a few minutes to kill.

Just a few little tidbits this morning:

• Purchased the online version of the Hardball Times 2004 Baseball Annual this past week and haven't been disappointed. I haven't had a whole lot of time to delve into it that deep yet but I'm certianly impressed by it so far. It'll be interesting to get a feel for the different contributers to the site and the book. Normally I really only read Aaron Gleeman's articles and have grown to like his writing style, mainly because it's a lot like mine.
• Thinking about a New Years Party at the apartment this year. Probably nothing too huge, maybe 30-40 people. Trust me, compared to some of my previous parties at my last place, this is pedistrian! More details of this to follow. Purple Jesus anyone?
  
• Nintendo is retarded. Some of their most recent line of commercials cross the line, and I'm usually not that easily offended. However, when portraying the harsh reality of addiction and what that can do to someone's life and their loved ones, using it to promote their video games is a little much. Yeah video games are addictive (SEE: Everquest, etc) and can cause some of they touch upon, but only in extreme cases and nothing like the frequency of tradgey that occurs with other, and arguably, more serious forms of addiction (SEE: gambling, drugs, alcohol, to name a few).
  
• Speaking of retarded: Peyton Manning threw 6 TD's against Detroit yesterday, to bring his season total to 41. He's on pace to throw over 60 and has 5 more games to throw 7 more and break the single season record. Absurd.

So that's about it for now. Gunna head out pretty soon, get a few things taken care then catch some shut-eye. Cheers.
