New Look!

I am re-opening my blog.  It has been up for a while, but I didn’t really tell anyone about it.  So this time around I am going to tell some people and maybe even keep it up.  I can’t tell you from day to day what this will be about, probably whatever I am doing at the time, but I hope to keep it up.  My problem is that a large part of my days are spent working at a school district dealing with education/technology related things.  I could talk about that for a long time and I will probably mention various things from time to time.  If I talked about that all the time no one would know or care what I was talking about, and plus I would sound like those crazy cedit union guys that have conversations on twitter that I never understand. So I will try to stay clear of the work talk for the most part. Now I have to go put this on facebook and twitter since I don’t talk to people in person anymore.

Summer Sports Wasteland

I am sitting in my living room right now watching the Euro Cup 2008 quarterfinal between Russia and the Netherlands. Now that basketball is officially over, with the Celtics winning the finals, there is just not much in the way of sport for me until football starts in the fall. I know there is baseball, but I have never really been a big fan of it and I just don’t really pay attention until the playoffs in September/October. I also know there is the Olympics. I like the Olympics. I like seeing things that you don’t get to see most of the time, like track and swimming, but for some reason this year I am just not all that excited about this years Olympics. Maybe its because I think everyone is one some form of performance enhancers, well maybe not everyone but several, but I think it is more the fact that the Olympics have become too commercial. Once upon a time I saw the Olympics as a wonderful festival of sports, and now I just see one giant Coke commercial. Maybe I have become jaded and I need to get in touch with my inner child. And that brings me to the soccer match I am watching.
