Collector to Minimalist
I am making a slow transition from a collector of collectibles, memorabilia, clothes, and souveniers to a minimalist.

First Day at Panera!
Well, I decided last night before I went to bed that I was living an extremely eventful 24 hours right now. The Red Sox were in Game 4 of the World Series that they went on to win after 84 years of… being the Red Sox; a lunar eclipse; my first day at Panera; getting Joy’s engagement ring set; asking Joy’s parents the big question; and an assortment of homework and driving along the way.
Wait! This is is supposed to be about my first day at Panera, so let me get into that…

New Cell Phone
My cell phone broke about a week ago. This means that I need a new one. I told my parents that I could get one for free from Sprint since it has been over a year and a half since I got the LG5350, but they don’t want to sign another contract. This means that I get to pick out whatever phone I want (under $100) and they’ll pay for it.

Zook Fired
Well, I guess it has finally happen. Zook is officially fired. I don’t know if we’ll take Spurrier back or not, but hopefully we find a coach that does better than this one has. I’d like to see us get a coach that we can build a decade or more upon so we don’t have to go through things like this anymore.

Memory Atrophy
I have never had much faith in my memory, because it fails me all too often. So, in the past few years I have been doing a number of different things to make my way through the world without using my memory as much. That wasn’t really on purpose though. My purpose behind my actions was to allow me to rely on my memory less. It just so happened that I didn’t even use my memory, because I rarely had to rely on it.
Now, I think that my memory has atrophied like a muscle. I guess it is true that if you don’t use it — you lose it…
Time for a new plan. No reliance on memory, but still striving to develop it with inessential activities.

Wealth = Evil?
I was just reading a blog that recently dipped into politics and felt the urge to write about it. The quote that got me started was actually from a comment. Here it is…
“Unfortunately, the left paints corporations and wealthy Americans as “evil” because they “have more” and paint the picture that corporations are unfairly profiting off the backs of the unfortunate American worker toiling away for less than the Mendoza line in minumum wage.”

Staying with Nate and Conor
This week I stayed in Gainesville with Nate and Conor at The Boardwalk. It was really cool that they invited me to spend the evenings at their place. They have a really cool place that is HUGE for a college student’s apartment. It was like a playground.

Chiropractic
Today I went with Joy to her Chiropractor and Massage Therapist. I didn’t really do much but sit and read news magazines at the therapist, but I went to see the chiropractor and got a complete work-up.

United Nations?
Kerry’s stance on the UN seems naive to me. He and others want more UN involvement. Fine. Let the UN spend their money on this too, such a large percentage of that is money straight from US it doesn’t really make much of a difference. He also wants the UN to give a thumbs up to any military action in Iraq and elsewhere. This seems unlikely because the UN is predominantly Arab/Muslim.
