Live!

I am not sure what it is about an event being live, but when I watch something that is over, I am not as interested as when I watch it live.  There are obvious exceptions to this.  Generally, however, it's true.  I watched much of the L'ville/ND bball game the other night while flipping channels.  When the Mavs game ended, though, and L'ville was up 7 with about six minutes left, I made the decision to start watching my UNLV Rebels take on UNM, which I was recording.  I did not watch it with nearly as much attention as I would have if it was live.  I did not know the outcome (it was actually not over when I started it), yet simply knowing that what I was watching was not "live" made a difference.  Then, when I found out L'ville/ND went to 5OT, I recorded the replay to watch what I missed, but it was unwatchable.  I just didn't care.  It's an interesting phenomenon - at least it's interesting to me.

Yep.

My break has stretched from one week to two on here.  As I've mentioned before, it's very easy for me to ignore this.  That said, Chris Paul and Billups are about to play in Miami, so I'm gonna watch that.

The only really blog worthy item from the last couple of weeks (besides my Mavs and the Super Bowl, of course) is that I went to the Tech recruiting recap the other night.  Spike Dykes and Kliff Kingsbury talked.  It was nice.  But, the overwhelming feeling I experienced was not good.  It should have been, but it wasn't.  It was the same feeling I had when I went back to Berkner a few months ago.  I haven't achieved the level of success I assumed I would when I was young, and revisiting that isn't comfortable for me.

Ok, before I get too far into a pity party, I'm going to go watch this game and then start my busy Saturday (running???, working, and playing poker).  I'll try to post the gold later.
