Alcohol: The cause and solution to all of life's problems

I have been feeling a little blue recently so instead of my usual self-medication of watching bad television and eating Oreo's, I decided to go work out. I wasn't really in the mood for any weight lifting so I looked at the class schedule. I saw that in fifteen minutes FITNESS YOGA was starting. I had not done yoga in several years but I figured I would be okay. The class was me, one other guy, eight women, and an openly gay instructor.

I just got my ass kicked.

I am going to be sore everywhere tomorrow. My whole lower body, abs, and shoulders are going to be really sore tomorrow. A lot of people, in particular, ignorant young men like to mock yoga as something that is too feminine, too easy, or whatever. I have news for you. As long as you move beyond Yoga I and go into an intermediate level class, yoga can be a great workout.

1. I see that Hillary Clinton is winning big in Pennsylvania. I think this will come to the surprise of no one. This bit of bad news is cancelled out by the fact that George W. Bush has the lowest approval rating, 31%, in Gallup's history. Ironically, just past 9/11, he had the highest ever recorded approval rating at 91%.

2. Most people know that I am a huge Weezer fan. However!!! What the f*ck is this for their new album coming out in two months: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/50108-is-this-really-the-new-weezer-album-cover

3. While on the drive to Ames this weekend with Trevor, we talked about our favorite and least favorite band names. My all time favorite band name is Nirvana. How perfect is that? I have so many bad ones but I think Hoobastank might be the worst. There are so many other bad ones though (Limp Biskit, The Band, N.W.A., et cetera). What are your favorite and least favorites?

4. In another sign of the Apocalypse is coming... 15 year old pop singer has just landed a seven figure deal to write her memoir. Besides Josh Koo, I don't know one person who will read this.

5. I just had my two year review at work today. I cannot believe in a couple weeks I will have worked at USA Today for two years. That just amazes me.
