I Am The Rain King

"I'm alive but I'm sinking in"

I have been on a Counting Crows kick lately and I have absolutely no idea why. Laura tried to get me into them while we were dating and I just wasn't digging it then one day this week I decided to DL "August and Everything After". I listen to the song "Rain King" and now I cannot stop listening to this band. The lyrics are superb and I am getting used to the vocals slowly but surely. Maybe it is just that the mood I have been in lately has completely connected with this band, a case of circumstance and sheer luck. Whatever it is, count me as a fan of the Counting Crows from this day forward.

The Rangers were eliminated from the playoffs in a 4 game sweep from the Devils. Although I went to each one of these games and was disappointed each time, I could not be prouder of the team the Rangers put together this year. We may have completely run out of gas and completely broke down near the end of the year but one must remember that it is a rebuilding process. Just making the playoffs is a step in the right direction and next year we can build on it. I have high hopes for next season...it should be a good one.

I wrote a 30 page paper on TDP(Thinness Depiction and Promoting)and I must say that a question that has a simple answer can sometimes be harder to explain than a complex issue. I had to cite about 15 studies to prove that being exposed to media images of thin women distorts the view of what is a normal weight. This sounds horribly easy but believe you me, this is so much harder to explain then I ever thought it could be. This does mark the longest college paper I have written thus far though and that makes me kinda proud. I didn't die or stress out to the point of sickness, I can handle huge papers relatively well. I just don't want to ever write a paper that long ever again. haha.

Thursday I am done, two exams standing in my way...let's fuck up this shit so I can relax for a while.
