I'm so tired

AH! I'm 20!

So I just figured out all on my own how Arby's got its name. Arby's is famous for its Roast Beef. Get it? R..Bs...Arby's. I felt like I stumbled upon some sort of revelation when I realized what the name meant. I feel like I'm one of the only people in the world that knows this secret, but I'm sure I'm wrong. Was this some sort of common knowledge thing? Like how everyone and their brother knows about Tilles having a Christmas light display except me?

I was driving down my street the other day while it was dark and 2 cars flashed their brights at me within 10 seconds. I had my lights on; I don't know what the deal was. I wasn't going extremely slow or fast, so I am really confused about that.

Thank you to 106.5 the Arch for solving a 10 year mystery for me. I had always thought that the song "Hold on Loosely" by .38 Special sounded extremely similar to this other song that I never knew the name to but it went "I'm so caught up in you, little girl, you're the one that's got me down on my knees..." And when I was like 9 I loved both songs, but got them mixed up because I thought they sounded almost exactly the same. I remember being mad at the group who sang the song "Hold on Loosely" because they obviously ripped off some other group and used the same rhythym in this song as the group that made that "caught up in you" song. Well, after not hearing the "caught up in you" song for like 7 years I heard it on the Arch and they announced the name of the song and who sang it. It turns out that the song is "Caught up in You" by none other than .38 Special. I was freaking out in the car because my frustrations with both songs and their singer(s) for 10 years was finally over.

So today's shift at KOMU made me realize how much I hate reporting. My first 3 shifts weren't that bad at all, but today was horrible. I can't wait until week 9, because then I'll be able to do producing or something sports related...as long as my grades are good enough, fingers crossed.

I've got the blues, the reds, and the pinks

So I got to go on a second tour of the new Busch Stadium today (thanks to Katie's dad) and it was just as amazing, if not better, than the first tour I took. I do miss Busch, without a doubt, but I am quite excited about the new stadium. We were standing in the Cards dugout looking out onto the field and it dawned on me that old Busch wasn't there anymore. I almost completely forgot about it since there is no trace of it ever being there. I was so overwhelmed by the amazingness of the new stadium that I forgot about the old. Attention all Cards fans: You will love the new stadium. Trust me. It's beautiful and has an awesome view of downtown, which the old one lacked. That's one thing about the new one that I really like, the attention put into the surrounding St. Louis area. There is a nice view of the Court House, Arch, Bowling Hall of Fame, and surrounding buildings. I also like how it's made to look old. The old stadium pulled out the features of the also-rising Arch, while the new one mimics the Eads Bridge.
I've been dying to watch a good baseball game for the past month. All my sports teams either suck, or suck so bad they aren't in contention anymore. I went to a Blues game earlier this week for the first time in almost 2 years. I thought that this would take my attention away from my need for baseball and maybe get me excited for hockey again. Nope. Although it was a good, exciting game we lost to the Predators. This made me realize even more how much the Blues suck and how much I want my baseball back. Then the stadium tour today made me realize how far away the season is. I think it's because of the fact that the new stadium isn't completed yet. I would look at all the work that has been done and see how much work they have yet to do and it makes Opening Day seem like forever away. But, at least I know where I will be on April 10th at 3:10 p.m. Only 3 more months...

A healthy obsession

My newest obsession is Yahoo! Music Videos. They have a video music station that plays all sorts of videos, none that are too old though, which kinda sucks. But, overall it's pretty sweet. You can have your own video music station and it just shuffles through music videos based on artists and videos that you've rated. Freshman year I used to listen to my Yahoo! music station a lot, but I kinda stopped once I started downloading a bunch of music. I think I need to get back in the habit of listening to that station because it plays an even bigger mix of music I like than my iTunes does. Oh yeah, by the way, My Chemical Romance definitely copied the landing scene from Saving Private Ryan in their new video "Ghost of You". Right down to "Private Jackson" kissing his cross. That video makes me mad, but at the same time makes me wanna watch the movie. I've been meaning to do that for awhile; I haven't seen it in so long. What a great movie.

Here's a convo I had with Mom and Roger recently that I thought was funny...
Mom: (referring to the fact that me and my friends buy underwear for each other quite often) Me and my friends would never buy each other underwear when we were your age.
Roger: You buy me underwear.
Mom: That's because if I didn't you wouldn't have any.
