Lyric-cull: January 2010
http://hooperswim.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Periodic song influences in life. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Strange highs and strange lows. 2010 has been a bit strange so far (Happy New Year, by the way). The weather here in South Florida went from hot (those 90s in early December). To cold (we had a week of 40's at night, and 60s during the day- I even had to use my heater at home). It was so cold, a local Masters meet got postponed a week because the water was too cold (the pool's heater couldn't keep up with the dropped air temp).

Periodic song influences in life. Sunday, February 28, 2010. The trick is to keep breathing. Well all the time ya spend trying to get back what's been took from ya, more is going out the door. After a while you just have to try to get a tourniquet on it. Lately, I'm not the only one. I say, never trust anyone. Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Jump in the line. Alas, I had no camera take a picture of this, but in some respects, it's better that I didn't. Shake, shake shake, Senora. Shake your body line.

Periodic song influences in life. Monday, March 30, 2009. But what I know now, it's not always a happy ending. They put up a valiant effort and good fight; but, alas, twas not enough.

Finished second at NCAAs on Saturday. Final team standings. 3 Stanford- 460.5. 4 California- 350 (the Cal women won the women's meet. Is an initiative of ...

Periodic song influences in life. Sunday, November 29, 2009. Money talks, money talks;. Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, oh. I should be preparing to return to work tomorrow, but I'm just not yet ready for that. I have returned from my Thanksgiving weekend refreshed, but far from really ready for it to be over. Alas, the weekend can't be extended neither for the good time had, nor to hear the remainder of the Radio 1. Countdown still to air on the satellite radio in my friend's car. On Frida...

Periodic song influences in life. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Yesterday afternoon, the weather was just bad; completely overcast, with not a break in the clouds anywhere. Not really any heavy rain, but no thin clouds, slightly bluer clouds either. And just enough lightning to discourage me from going to the pool. Today, however, the sky was just partly cloudy, and the rain was held at bay. And while a dark set of clouds did roll by (and drop some rain). Shoo-be do-be do-be do-be do-wop-bop. But what really s...

Periodic song influences in life. Saturday, October 31, 2009. And no one's gonna save you. It is Halloween night, a little bit after 8:00. Darkness has fallen- which has not yet stopped trick-or-treating in my neighborhood. I have just made a quick stop at home; hurried due to the lack of candy in my place and the proximity of a group of 5-7 kids rushing to an across-the-street neighbor with a couple of escorting parents trailing behind. Begin to yell at me to watch out for them. They are not in the ...

Periodic song influences in life. Sunday, September 27, 2009. Loneliness, is a place that I know well. I have been abandoned. Wells Fargo has not called me. In days! After calling me daily, for two weeks straight, they have suddenly stopped calling. I feel like I've been dumped. There wasn't even a tapering off. One day, they called twice; the next: none! I'll call tomorrow and check. Days and weeks and months and years. Filling in the time, my dear. Tryin' to find the place where I belong. To catch a di...

Lyric-cull: Another day, just breathe
http://hooperswim.blogspot.com/2010/02/another-day-just-breathe.html
Periodic song influences in life. Monday, February 01, 2010. Another day, just breathe. The past weekend went rather well. Highlighting it were two things:. I made it to the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art. To see a Norman Rockwell. Exhibit there. The exhibit is in its second-to-last weekend, but wasn't too crowded (thankfully). Among the items in the exhibit were many of his paintings- including No Swimming. As well as Lincoln for the Defense. A field trip to Fuddruckers. Another day, just believe. 100 fr...
