Fun

J got Fun Some Nights out from work the other day. It's in the Journey, since we don't really listen to music in the house, and J has been driving the Journey of late to work. I don't care for Fun. I think they sound like Supertramp. J is like, "How old are you?"
Not sure if it's the fad element, but I don't care for any of their songs on the radio. I wish I could discuss music in a critical manner to explain my complaints beyond merely saying "they suck."

Anyways, I find myself mentally singing to myself to not think of the noise they produce. I started thinking of the Vaselines and how their one of songs was the theme song of my last months of high school. I haven't listened to them since my last desk job. Amazingly, I didn't realize that I owned all of their songs on The Way of the Vaselines. Just looked them up for the first time ever on Wikipedia. I have had my copy of the cd since October 18, 1996, according to the stamp from Used Kids. If I'm not mistaken, that's the same day my brother crushed a couple of his fingers.

Not sure why I mention these things, aside from the fact that they distract me from the misery that Fun induces with their crappy songs.

Garmin Lifetime Traffic Updates

I guess that hindsight is always 20/20, but I got wondering about the future of GPS companies like Tom Tom and Garmin. We have a Nuvi 1350 LT that was on sale at Target a few years ago. The power cord ceased working so it was then that I realized the lifetime traffic feature was from the cord rather than the GPS itself. Not my GPS so I claim ignorance on the matter with regards to the initial purchase being mooted by the fact it was on sale below normal Nuvi 1350 price.

Anyways, Amazon has the GTM 25 for sale after taxes and shipping for a mere $35. It's compatible with other Garmin models so I wonder if getting a cheaper Garmin with lifetime map updates would be worthwhile. Definitely something to investigate.

Having a blah day

Not saying I am bored or anything, but I've been feeling less than motivated of late. Could be I'm neglecting to take my vitamins regularly, or my thyroid is not happy with me. Who knows?

Dogs days of June, I guess. Baseball season has been filled with ups and downs, and I'm a junky. I can't give it up. I can give up Camels and Bass, but following well compensated athletes, I can't.

Something wrong with following sports when there's much more that is actually important to be accomplished.

I guess that all commercials placed during sporting events are dead giveaways as frivolous wastes of personal income for anyone watching such things knows how to waste time and money to be "entertained" without giving a second thought.

I gave up tv in that I feel no desire to watch things that eventually are available on DVD.

Just have to figure out how to stop being consumed by the radio and internet time bandit. If I sleep through such things, they will still happen without my needing to know about them when they occur. Infovegan concepts transferred towards productive activities that have gainful results beyond the lull of blah when the fix of following a winner doesn't manifest itself in real time and sputters in a numbness of frustration. If only I could program myself like a robot.
