But nobody wants to get higher

1) I'm not going to call any specific person out, but there are some people who read my blog in some random locations. I think it's absolutely great. Keep up the good work.

2) This past year, I've gotten into the habit of watching two television shows on a regular basis. Both shows had absolutely phenomenal season finales. One of the shows is Lost. My feelings for Lost haven't been as extreme as other people's this season, but I've felt some frustration. Do I still feel it? I'm unsure, but I think that the plots seemed to peak nicely. My questions aren't answered, and I have new ones, but it was still a great episode.

The other is The Office. Now I do have some questions about this show, which are more likely to get answered quicker than Lost's questions. It was great to see Jim step up to the plate as well.

3) I had some fantastic ice cream cake yesterday. A lot of regular cakes are too sweet for me, but ice cream cake is usually a pretty safe bet.

4) Last year, I made a conscious decision to not rush into anything with a major commitment for a number of reasons. One being because I thought that I would be able to figure out a few things about myself. Well I was able to then, but I feel like in the last 6-12 months, I have figured out a lot more than the previous, without forcing it.

5) I mentioned a while back about wanting to learn more about Bob Dylan. My friend Jeff gave me some of his cd's, and they are great. One compact disc that really stands out is "The Basement Tapes", featuring The Band.

You Ain't Goin' Nowhere

Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself
To the tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

Genghis Khan
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!
