Saturday Is a Day for Musing

Because Saturday is the end of the week and in all honesty I don't feel focused enough to produce a more focused, singular effort, I will muse on a wide array of things. And if I make references to people, places, or things you don't understand, please feel free to use the double-secret, ultra mega super Anthony V musing decoder: www.google.com


1. Saturday is only the end of the week because my teachers said so. I'ts one piece of propaganda I never bought into. Sure, we all "know" that Saturday is the end of the week and Sunday is the "beginning" of the week (can't you see me with both hands in the air doing the quote thing so annoyingly). But everyone of us has always felt like Sunday was truly the end of the week. It is the last day of the weekend, the last day of the week for me to sit on my ass with good intentions of studying. Monday is the first day of the week. Why else would everyone feel so damned miserable on Monday mornings? Saturday and Sunday are a packaged deal. Bitch.

2. I got up at 6:30 this morning with only four hours of sleep only for James Beattie to break my stupid heart within eight minutes.

3. If I lived in Britain, my life would be significantly cooler. This has less to do with America and much more to do with the greatness of Britain. I mean, any country arrogant enough to include the word "Great" in their title is alright by me. Hey, I know there are pros and cons to living in every country. But to have the BBC at my constant disposal tips the scales.

4. And if I lived in Britain, I would most likely vote Labour. But I'm not sure if the good people running Yahoo! think the same thing. In an otherwise serious article on the upcoming general elections, how seriously do you take this representative of the Labour party?: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/050212/325/fccd7.html

5. Hey Kelvin, be thankful that basketball isn't the main sport at our school. You are "OVERRATED! CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!"

6. Somehow I doubt that "gellin'" is all I need to be doing in order to curb my contempt for much of the world around me.

7. Why do I feel like I need to get through number 10 on this stupid list in order to feel like I've completed something? I need to get off my ass and into my car for reasons I can't fully grasp right now.

8. If my life goes to hell here, I may have to go to Idaho to live out my Track 11 of Old 97's Satellite Rides fantasy.

9. My brother is the coolest guy I know. I may be biased, but he can't help being cooler than you guys. It's a combination of talent, taste, and goodness that I am constantly in awe of.

10. I'll give you guys a dollar if you can find a black person on "The O.C.".

11. I made to 11! Ha! I've now admitted I watch "The O.C.". If that makes me a hypocrite...shit.

12. My brother OWNS Felicity on DVD. And you know how cool he is.

13. For those of you unfamiliar with the late great Gram Parsons, take some time to learn. If you've heard of the Joshua Tree, maybe you can learn why. Check out the song of the day.

Song of the Day: "Return of the Grievous Angel"
Artist: Gram Parsons
Lyric of Possible Relevance: "I remember something you once told me. And I'll be damned if it did not come true. Twenty thousand roads, I went down, down, down. And they all led me straight back home to you."
