Just When You Think You're In Control

Congratulations to Mr. Joseph Halbert for naming "I Am the Highway" by Audioslave as the Sunday Song of the Day. I know that I do not usually give prizes for the Song of the Day contest, but Joey wins the opportunity to either share a futon with myself or Danny Echols (the gentleman with the fu-manchu) this weekend.

That's right, it's time for my initial pilgrimage as an alumnus to the Key City for the unmitigated glory that is Sing Song. I'm pretty sure that if I tried to describe Sing Song to the non-ACU readers of this blog, I would lose all of you as friends. I value my friendships, so if you want to know, please ask, but I'm not giving this info out for free.

In other news, just when I think I've grown into being a semi-normal person, I am reminded of my inherent nerdiness. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Yes, I received a brand new 2007 Rand McNally Road Atlas in the mail from my parents today. For those of you have known me for awhile, you know that I have always had an affinity for maps. I actually received a Rand McNally Atlas for Christmas from my parents when I was about 8 or 9, and we had to buy a new one the next year because I had looked at the first one so much that it began to tear apart in my hands.

Yes, this is my lot in life. In college, it turned into a kind of party game. When I would meet new people, my friend Jeff McCain would then invite them to ask me how to get from Scranton to Sedona, as if I were some kind of trained seal bouncing a ball on my nose. I would offer the rest of my insights on the topic, but it has enabled me to corner the market on beautiful women, so I'm closely guarding my trade secrets.
