5 Random Thoughts: Volume IV

I am really bad at this "every week" thing.  If you care, I'm sorry.  I don't think enough people read this for me to truly care.  If you are one of the people reading this, thank you.  It's nice to know a few people enjoy my thoughts!

As usual, check out the other bloggers' posts at 1st Word Blog.

1.)  I wanted to start out with a joke I heard last week, courtesy of Larry the Cable Guy:

"If a stadium is full of midgets, and they do the wave, wouldn't it be a ripple?"

I thought it was pretty funny.  Sorry if you have a stick up your butt and don't...try to be a bit happier in life and not take things so seriously :)

2.)  The cover story in this past week's People Magazine was how Jennifer Aniston and her latest/current/probably-not-last fiance are putting wedding plans on hold.  WHO REALLY CARES???  Why is our world SO obsessed with celebrity weddings?  For me it's right up there with that royal couple who are having a baby next month.  98% of these Hollywood couples are not a good example of how marriages are.  They fall madly in love (sometimes while still married to someone else--ie. Leann Rimes), get married in some big, over the top ordeal, get divorced because one of them looked at someone else in a bad way, then use their pre-nup to decide who gets what, and they move on with their lives.  It annoys me.

PS--Kim Kardashian finally gave birth...when's the party?  And Jay Cutler got married...atleast he has someone to officially whine too!

3.)  Chad Johnson.  Immature moron.  Slap your attorney on the butt and get 30 days in jail.  When will this idiot grow up and deal with his issues as an adult?  These type of people think the world revolves around them.  Annoying.  Grow up, move on with your life, and try to do some good with the oxygen you're using up!  I applaud that judge for giving him jail time, and not backing down (as of this writing). 

4.)  The Packers just wrapped up their OTA's...5 or so weeks until Training Camp begins!  I work at St. Norbert College, and the AC units are already installed in their dorm rooms.  I haven't had time to sit down and think about what is on the horizon for them this season, but it's kind of fun to think that football is right around the corner!  Can't wait!




5.)  Finally, my wife and I just returned from some time away in Door County.  My parents get a camp site at Peninsula State Park for two weeks every year.  All of us kids come and go as we please.  It sure was nice to get away for awhile.  The weather was great, the water was somewhat calm, and my dad and I actually caught a few fish!  I literally could feel my attitude change when I returned to town on Thursday.  Not in a horrible way, but enough to know I was back in the "real world."  I hope more vacations can happen more often, even if it's only for a few days here and there.  Nice to be re-energized once in awhile!
