The Names of the Day.

So, today was Earth Day, and Draft Day, and Diadeloso. First things first: Dia is definitely not as cool as an "adult" as it was as a student. I think Hardage summed it up best in our early morning, pre-work text convo:

Me: "It's such a dreary Dia."
Hardage: "Serves those kids right for being lucky enough to still be in college."

Isn't it the truth? I'll guess I'll just settle for the small joys, though: half a day of work and a nap! Happy DIA! Wow, am I really excited about this? Growing up is tough.

Jake, on the other hand, had the best DIA of his life. He chased basketballs and golf balls, licked kids' faces, wrestled several dogs both bigger and smaller (oops!) than he is, and pooped on the street. (What do you do in this awkward situation? You walk away.) He took a 2 hour nap post-Dia, woke up and tossed his pig slippers around the house, fell asleep with a toy in his mouth, woke up and attacked his mom, chewed a hanger to bits, chewed a toy created for chewing, and is now snoring on the couch behind me. This was, quite possibly, one of the best days of his little life.

...and now for the NFL Draft...

"Hi, I'm Sam Bradford. And Sports Center starts right now." Do you think Sports Center filmed that clip before or after he went #1 overall in the draft? I wonder if they filmed the same clip with all of the people that they thought had even a tiny shot of going first? Where is that extra film?? Seriously... these are good questions.

And Timmy T to another orange and blue team? Cute.

That's the real analysis. You won't get this anywhere else, people.

...and now for Earth Day...

Hmmm. I've got nothing. But I do put my Diet Coke cans (however many there may be for that day) and water bottles in the recycle bin at work. I feel good about that.
