Spring Break To-Do List

Here is what my Spring Break looks like since Keenan Donahue bailed on Spring Training:

1. Watch Lost
I always thought this show was really dumb. Then i started watching it. And now, I'm captivated by it. All of the symbolism, character development, and suspenseful music make it difficult to turn off. So, i will finish Season 1 over the break.

2. Read a book
So i don't completely waste my spring break time, i will read a book. But not for fun. For class. Bummer. At least i sound smart.

3. Eat good food.
Both home-cooked, and restaurant. Restaurant list: Taco Bueno, Chipotle, Panda Express, Red Robin, anything else we do not have in Joplin.

4. Go golfing.
I went with my Dad on Friday (sorry for skipping classes Andrew Kirschner and Doug Welch). And i will go again this Friday. Unfortunately, i shot my worst round in like 2 years. Hopefully this Friday will be better.

5. Watch Basketball.
I took in the first four days of the NCAA Tournament as my bracket was destroyed by the likes of Northern Iowa and Saint Mary's. Boooooooooo. I guess i owe Sonja dinner and a movie.

So there you have it. I will quit updating you on my daily agenda on Facebook because it most likely consists of these 5 things + church on Wednesday. Now to accomplish something off my list (time to eat).

March Madness

March is crazy.
Caesar was killed, birds return, and pollen invades.
Clocks speed up, and so do schedules.
The Irish have a holiday, and bracketology becomes a real word.
Can anything crazier happen than that stuff?

Anyway, here's why March is crazy for me (i love postmodernism):
I'm giving up soda for March.
And i love soda. namely, Coke.
But i was drinking way too much soda and spending too much money on it.
And i made a resolution to give up soda for an entire month.
So the beginning of spring says see ya to soda. (--really good alliteration).

Also, March is crazy because of spring break.
I plan on doing something spontaneous for spring break (enjoy the irony in that statement).
Thoughts have been on going to Arizona for Spring Training.
Or maybe i will golf everyday.
Or at least eat out everyday (without soda).
Or at least watch basketball everyday (while drinking lemonade).

March is crazy, but aren't the beginnings of all good things?

One last word, i have been considering a statement lately:
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

-Mark Twain
