Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

I’m just sayin’ Volume 8...

Of course I have to start this blog with the discussion of the demise of U$C. Oh I am so excited they lost, I can’t even tell you!! I know a lot of Cal fans out there wanted us to be the ones to break their winning streak, but let’s put this into perspective. U$C still would have looked like a good team if they had managed to beat everyone else and lost to us, and they still would have stayed pretty high in the rankings... But now they are exposed for the terrible team they truly are because they lost to the completely unranked Oregon State Beavers, the same team the Golden Bears smashed 42 to 13. I am not mad that they lost. I am not mad that we weren’t the team to break their streak. And I love even more that the polls are starting to reflect the true ranking $C should have. All I’m sayin is GO BEARS...

So I have decided that when I retire, I’m retiring in Spain. And I plan to retire when I turn 35. LOL! Just kidding, but I do think I’m going to retire in Spain. Any country that has a time of day when people are encouraged to take naps, sound like just the place for me! I’m serious. I spent most of the day yesterday sprawled out on my couch and it was lovely, but, and I feel that I have grown enough to admit this, it was almost too much laziness....I know I know, these are blasphemous words coming from me, but my body was tired of just lying around, but my mind was too lazy to actually ask my body to get up, so I continued to lay. While I am enjoying being active more and more, I still miss those days when we would take naps and then wake up to a nice graham cracker and juice snack. I tell you, kids don’t know how good they have it. I know people who would pay to be able to take a nap in the middle of the day. I’m just sayin...

The quote of the day came from one of my favorite poets:  Ahem...

“Of course America is the richest country in the world, it was built for free...” Saul Williams

*Drops the mic

Please ladies and gentleman never doubt the words of a poet. Saul Williams is brilliant and I’d also like to add that he said this while standing amidst the ruins of New Orleans post Katrina on a nationally televised commercial... Thank you...

The Doing Too Much Award...This weeks Doing Too Much award goes to our good friends at MAC and more specifically our good friends at IPOD. As I was on the plane flying home, I scanned the Sky Mall magazine and happened upon IPOD’s latest invention. In celebration of the portability of the IPOD, they have created a toilet paper holder that houses an IPOD and has speakers so while you are doing your business in the bathroom, you have all the music you will need to keep you entertained. Now, I am all about listening to music in the shower and while I’m getting dressed, but something about seeing an IPOD attached to toilet paper does not read shower to me. I understand the IPOD is extremely portable, but an IPOD as a toilet paper holder? IPOD you are officially doing too much!

Peace Y’all and GO Bears....
