and blogger said shuddap, so on to March Madness
yeah, so blogger decided the body should not talk and destroyed the wonder and magic of motivation and inspiration that the previous entry might have been... the good news is I took the resentment I felt and said fukkit and continued on my solitary path spinning my wheels to nowhere (but feeling physically better as I get there)...
a lingering tick-off is that I missed making picks for the NCAA basketball tournament as that was the intention after blogging last night but after blogger shat on my magic, I was distracted and forgot to make the picks so I can not prove how wonderfully prophetic I can be this year... so much for March magic...
I do declare that all 16 top 4 teams in each bracket will make it to the sweet sixteen, except maybe UCLA, but then, maybe even them... I predict fewer upsets this year than in previous years... vulnerable for upsets are (5) Virginia Tech, (6) Duke, (8) Kentucky, (8) Marquette, (8) BYU, and possibly (7) Nevada... the final four may just be the #1 seeds... Ohio State, Kansas, Florida, and North Carolina, though I predict Wisconsin will give Florida a hard time if Florida gets past Maryland... and I think Georgetown will take North Carolina out of the picture... so Kansas, Ohio State, Georgetown, and Wisconsin are my final four... with Ohio State and Kansas meeting in the finals and Ohio State taking it all...
influenced by all the Ohio State banners around this place?... probably, but Greg Odom is a freshman on Ohio State and will be starting in the pros next year and unless he gets hurt, he should carry the rest of the freshman on Ohio State to the championship...
I rarely get these tournament picks right, but heck, sometimes, like a few times a year, it's still fun to pretend I can see into the future and judge basketball teams and be a know-it-all... and root root root for somebody... if I was not influenced by Rasputin being a die-hard Ohio State fan I might see just how young and inexperienced and hot-shotty the Ohio State team is and pick another team to win it all, like maybe Kansas or Florida or Georgetown... I'd call Memphis, UCLA, Wisconsin, and Texas long shots... with Washington State and Oregon as way long shots... anybody else makes it into the final four will be a big surprise for me, but then, that's often what the March madness is about, big surprises... I just don't see any coming this year... well, maybe Michigan State could surprise North Carolina and maybe Winthrop could surprise Notre Dame, but that's all...
meanwhile, on the inside... fatigue is higher, bloat is higher (corned beef and cabbage does not not go well with long aerobic exercise sessions), but the gym work continues... the pattern of napping when I get home from work continues, thought the past two evenings the nap was broken by the TV, which is a sign of imbalance and distraction in my unconscious mind... not enough distraction to stop the workouts, which is good... but a sign that rest could be helpful soon...
work presented a few challenges this week, which keeps the boredom at bay... a rearrangement of units and patients meant a rebuilding of the databases and spreadsheets... somehow I squeezed that in and got the state database updated on time too... it's good to stay busy and stay ahead of the workload even when it triples suddenly... all should be back to whatever normal (I mean, it is a psych hospital, after all) is next week...
I connected with the corporate MIS person (in Tennessee) and IT is more aware (as is our CEO and CFO) of the fact that we've had new computers awaiting deployment since September of last year (or was it August) and more importantly, why they are becoming obsolete before they are even used (changing corporations, changing staff, the balls, or in this case, the computers, get dropped)...
and that's life, work, and stuff for today... hope you are enjoying whatever youi are doing and making the most of the challenges cuz imagine how boring life would be without them... thanks for reading and being here :)
and my to newly published friend, yay nicole :)

Thank you for your message, again :)
Running away doesn't work so I am back to writing again...sort of this phoenix and ashes thing I guess. But it also this time requires more "real time" to coin a phrase.
So thanks for the honesty, the sincerity, the hope, the beacon in the darkness you always manage to provide. You are always a great big universal Yay.
I need to find some chocolate now. Hugs and smiles and great good cheer be with you this fine Friday.
:)
you would have loved the motivational speech I gave myself that blogger destroyed... I'm just happy I find a few words to get through and mean something now and then :)
and even when you doubt it, you do that too :)
