Boomer Sooner

happy NFL draft day!

as sad as i am that today marks the end of the sam bradford era at OU, i couldn't be more excited. i love watching the draft especially when you know there are stories like these behind some of the players.

"We shouldn't be talking about why is this kid so squeaky clean, why is this guy for real. We should be asking, 'Why aren't there more guys like this?'"

people like sam and gerald (and i am sure several others) deserve everything they are going to get tonight. they are achieving a dream tonight. a dream that they have been working toward all of their life - for all of the right reasons. these people make me proud to say BOOMER SOONER. thank you for setting a good example to all of those little boys who want to grow up and be exactly like you one day, heisman trophy/all-american honors and all. the game needs more people like y'all.

there is only one oklahoma - LIVE ON UNIVERSITY.

The Soundtrack

They say that smell is the strongest link to memory - i disagree.

I think it is music - music takes you back to such a specific moment, it's almost like a snapshot. when certain songs play, you can remember exactly where you were, where you were going, what was going on in your life, who you were with, exactly what you were doing.

"one good thing about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain" - bob marley.

Music is there to remind you of where you came from and your plans of where you wanted life to take you. Life has it's own soundtrack. Everyone's does. Here is mine to this point, in chronological order:

bob carlisle - butterfly kisses
jennifer love hewitt - can i go now
smashmouth - all star
big tymers - this is how we do
bette midler - wind beneath my wings
matchbox 20 - unwell
r. kelly - remix to ignition
baby bash - suga, suga
outkast - i like the way you move
FFH - ready to fly
sister hazel - One Love
fall out boy - nobody puts baby in the corner
the fray - cable car
mae - summertime
soulja boy - superman
jack's mannequin - i'm ready
journey - don't stop believin'
israel kamakawiwo'ole - somewhere over the rainbow
sister hazel - mandolin moon
david gray - this year's love
john mayer - half of my heart
matt nathanson - car crash
graham colton - on your side


it's random and crazy and happy and sad and slow and fast and all over the place - exactly the way it should be.
