Melo!

Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony dunks against the Seattle SuperSonics during the third quarter in Denver Tuesday, March 30, 2004. The Nuggets beat the SuperSonics, 124-119.
Take that, LeBron. Carmelo Anthony scored a career-high 41 points Tuesday night, matching James for the most by a rookie this season, and the Denver Nuggets moved into a tie for eighth place in the West with the victory.
“I couldn’t let LeBron get 41 without me getting 41,” said Anthony, who had 18 points in a first-quarter shootout with Rashard Lewis and kept it going after Lewis cooled. Anthony finished 19-for-29.
Opening Day in Japan?
The Baseball season started today at 5AM Eastern Standard time in Japan. The Yankees lost. But seriously? That’s stupid. Not only that, but there are still spring training games this week. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays who played today and won the game, still have spring training games to play. So they’ve already started their season, but still have spring training? That is really dumb.
Goal for 2004… and beyond
It’s not too late to put in a goal for life and the year : I want to my pee to be clear.
I know, that sounds silly and a little gross.. But I want to keep myself well hydrated and that is the ultimate measure…The darker it is, the farther I am from my goal..
It’s very important to remain hydrated. It’s probably one of the most important things you can do to remain healthy. You should be drinking water all day, every day. If you aren’t drinking at least a half gallon a day, you are chronically dehydrated. If you aren’t pissing clear every time, you are dehydrated.
On a sidenote, I quit the YMCA yesterday and afterwards went with Sara to Friendly’s for overrated sundae’s.. Thought that was funny.

NCAA Tourney
It’s funny. Now that SU has lost, I don’t care at all about the tourney. Good luck St Joe’s, UCONN, and Duke!
Planets Align
Rare stargazing spectacle as planets alignAlignment won’t happen again for three decades
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP)—Five planets are arrayed across the evening sky in a spectacular night show that won’t be back for another three decades.
For the next two weeks, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—the five closest planets—should be easily visible at dusk, along with the moon.
The planetary lineup will be visible to the naked eye every night for an hour after sunset from around the world through early April. At the end of the year, the same five planets will reunite for a few weeks, but in the pre-dawn hours.
The orbits of the five planets take them to the same side of the sun every few years or so. The conditions have to be just right for all five planets to be clearly visible at dusk or dawn; Mercury is often tough to catch. Even rarer are so-called alignments, where the planets are clustered together in the sky; this is not one of those.
Stargazers should look to the western horizon just after sunset. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn will be lined up in the sky with Jupiter close to the eastern horizon. They will span about 135 degrees. Saturn will be almost directly overhead.

Good morning
Hey good morning everyone.
I got my #21 tooth drilled this morning and my mouth is numb. Yee.
This weekend we are driving to Mount Pleasant, MI to check out Central Michigan where Sara will probably be going to school next fall. Yee

The Service Industry
I hate the service industry. It just irratates me. All the time. It’s to the point now, that I can’t expect to get good service from anyone. When I do get good service its mind numbing and I end up tipping way over the tip scale. But generally speaking at the gas station I don’t expect a hello back, at restaurants I should start bringing my own water cause the waiters usually care not to keep my pallet clensed, and I shouldn’t even bother thanking the delivery person anymore. They never say welcome.
Take last night for example. And keep in mind, these things would not be a big deal, but they keep happening, and keep piling up on one another. I go to the corner store or whatever you want to call it and we order two sandwiches and get two drinks. 16 dollars later we sit and wait for them to be done. Now, I don’t know really what we payed 16 dollars for cause it wasn’t the friendly service. While in line waiting to order, we wait unacknowledged cause the girl at the register is on the phone. Yeah, I can see, she’s taking an order, but a simple “be right with you” would have resulted in me being content and never making this first point. So then, we wait, and eventually hear what I think to be the names of our sandwiches mumbled by some useless dude behind the counter. Remember, we ordered two sandwiches.. and now we recieve one bag. You would think a normal question to ask this guy would be, which one is which, but maybe he wasn’t born on this planet. So I ask, “which one is which?”, and I swear, he looked at me like I was some sort of idiot or something. Like, I’m crazy for asking. He starts to open the bag and I say “never mind” and proceed to state very bluntly “Thanks Buddy”.. AHH.
I don’t know. It’s not really a big deal, but its annoying. I wouldn’t care if this happened just once and nothing like it ever happened. I’d still be annoyed but I probably wouldn’t blog about it. However, it’s annoying. and I don’t have much else to blog about.

Scatterbrains
Two ducks flew over my head.saw all the corruption down below
they flew safely high, swimming through the air.
they flew so high, avoiding much despair
always looking down, now watching where they go
flying high with no worries but the sun
i see them fly, people through the sky
free as a bird, and feeling so high
one day the clouds moved in, and blurred their way
flew down but the fog had lifted
with no options, they decided to fly upwards
the ducks scrambled to find their way
they flew so high, but not above the clouds
suddenly from behind they heard a loud rumble
the ducks panicked, there was nothing they could do
assess the engine, cut them in two
scatterbrains plastered all over the town
too many people fail to look down
scatterbrains plastered all over the town
scatterbrains cause our society to drown
On Site, yeah right!
What’s up homeys. I am on site. Things are rocking. I’m in Brown Deer. This place rules. You should all come to Wisconsin for a day or two to see what’s up. Everything is going great. So. On that note, I will soon leave and head back to NY.
Appearently I am someone who says “Yeah, right” a lot. I don’t know if it has to do with the region in which I live, the people I associate myself with, or just something I say. It’s a big time saying though, they caught me saying it at least 12 times last night.

Migrating Ducks
Hundreds of migratory ducks (Dendrocygna autumnalis) fly as the sun sets in Palo Verde National Park in Bagaces, Guanacaste, some 200 miles northwest of San Jose, Costa Rica, March 9, 2004. This 20,000-hectare park bordered by rivers and a ridge of limestone hills is home to some 250,000 migratory birds, such as teal, geese and ducks that arrive from North America to winter in the park, making up one of Central America’s largest concentrations of waterfowl and wading birds, both native and migratory.

I work in a library
Not really, but sometimes it feels like one. Maybe its not that extreme, and I don’t think I need to work at a preschool to get the other side of the stick. But a few monkeys running around hooting and hollering couldn’t hurt. The white noise, although almost completely gone from my consciousness, still needs to go. Wo. Big Word. Tough speller… But anyway.. we need a little more color :) or I do.
