Trying to sound intelligent

I have nothing witty to put here...clearly i am not doing a good job of sounding intelligent.

Does anyone else do this? Right before you go to bed, you think of something great to write down, be it a song idea, book idea, or blog idea, and you think "oh, i'll write that down tomorrow" and then when you wake up you remember you had a great idea...but you can't remember what it is? That happens to me all the time! So next weekend is Pansy Brunch, and a reuniting of the old Rafters gang. I'm so excited! Nothing thrills me more than karaoke in a smokey, red neck bar! Also AXE initiation is next weekend, so it'll be just one big weekend of seeing a lot of people I haven't seen in a year or more. So last night, i got a smack in the face by the technological age. I was watching some Top 40 program and Nelly and Tim McGraw got on to perform "live". Well, so their singing this slow song, and i thought, what a perfect chance for someone to light a lighter. And you look into the crowd, and there are tons of creepy blue luminescence caused not by lighters, but cell phones! People had flipped open their cell phones and where using that to signal whatever it is we signal when a slow song is being played at a concert. Well, it was quite interesting really, and it makes me wonder what my parents think about this. When did we switch from lighters to cell phones? Lighters seem like such a staple! And don't tell me that kids are still smokin' be it cigarettes or pot, b/c i've been to concerts myself and i know. Well, anyway, i was just watching the Morning Show, and saw something relatively amusing. This woman was supposed to sing the national anthem at a hockey game. Only she couldn't remember the words. So she left the ice, and i assume looked at the words again, and then stepped back on the ice, only to slip and bust her ass. All i can say is karma baby. That's what ya get for not knowing your own National Anthem. Well, that's about all i got for today. Not nearly as clever as what i had in mind last night, as stated earlier, i can't remember what it was. But i do know it was great! Doh!

I always think of those things in the shower. Something about being warm and waking up makes my mind wander I guess.

I think that lady was Canadian. It was a US-Canada game and she was supposed to sing both national anthems (neither ever got sung). She was blaming it on the people booing in the stands after she started forgetting words the first time through.
