"Well I never should have settled down, hanging around in a one horse town and everyone started sleeping around..."

I can't believe a fantasy baseball league can put me in such a bad mood. Though this one has and is, and isn't worth the trouble. I suppose like anything you try to organize with a bunch of people, some things are going to work and others are not going to work. This one is definitely not working. I suppose this is why I usually never try to make plans with a big group of people, it just isn't worth the effort. There is no way to please everyone and if you try, you only make things worse.

The sun has made a better effort to shine today than it did on Sunday or Monday. Though the wind is still strong and the temperature is 16, which would be nice without the wind. I can't believe how much our lives are influenced by the weather. It can really alter our moods, or at least mine in particular. 17 or 18 with little wind and lots of sun would be perfect for me.

I couldn't find anything interesting to watch last night, especially after Detroit went up 2-0 on Dallas early in the hockey game. Detroit won 4-1 and will play Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup Finals beginning Saturday. Pittsburgh in 6 or 7. Anyway I decided to watch Garden State again, I hadn't watched it in at least 2 years but really love it. I was quickly reminded of why while watching it unfold. Natalie Portman is perfectly adorable in the movie and falling in love with a girl like that would be easy, if life was fiction. Go rent it, if you haven't seen it.

Below is an article about the most peaceful countries in the world, Canada isn't even in the top 10, I am sure this has something to do with our proximity to the United States.

Since it is Tuesday my music countdown is below, the same #1 and 9 other songs by my favourite band Counting Crows. Being biased isn't such a bad thing. Spending too much time trying to please others is.
