Young and inexperienced Brady fell asleep in the locker room before that game.

To justify all the carbs, I took a 15-mile hike yesterday with a backpack That is a very good way to burn fat. Load up a ruck and go for a walk.

169 posts so far and no one said who's winning yet...Down in Australia, they already know who won the game.
It's tomorrow already.

However I do like Brady as he's a Republican and a Dubya fan. But that is overshadowed by John F'in Kerry's support of the Patriots.
Cognitive dissonance.

Carolina beat the Patriots, 29-21.
That was in yesterday's virtual game(video game) that has predicted that last 8 Superbowl winners.

The extra notes --- I hate that too.With respect to the singing of the National Anthem today. I ran across this music student commenting on this self-indulgent and irritating "melisma" in the hands of limited singers.
*****
I didn't watch American Idol much last year, and even then (and this year much so, as I caught more of it), when I tuned in got irritated by the attempt to emulate Mariah Carey by sticking multiple notes to single syllables in a way that ends up rewriting songs that are best left as written. These are called "melismas"--same as Gregorian Chant, but with a modern song that was pretty good to between with, result in mangling it.
These kids do NOT know how to write music, so when I hear something like Somewhere Over the Rainbow mangled into something that doesn't sound anything like the original, it makes me cringe. This is not "making a song your own" but showing yourself as a bad musician who does not know his or her limits. Stick to singing, NOT rewriting classics!
Someone like Aretha Franklin or even Whitney Houston can get away with this--they have some inate musicianship where they can actually craft a song "as their own" without losing the beauty of the original. However, the performers on AI--ALL of them--but noticeably among all, Clay, Tamyra(sp?), and even Kelly (particularly now)--all seem to think this is good singing. I have no idea if Clay actually has a good voice, because he keeps adding these awful warbling effects to every note.
Can he or anyone else there just sing it straight and let me know if the voice by itself is beautiful?
Panthers 17 - Patriots 16
The "UNDER" is a gimme.

Aerosmith was at NASA this week. Someone I know that works there said the band was having a cocaine party in one of JSC's mens room. Snorting coke like crazy.
To: ClintonBeGone
Truly tasteless Aerosmith open. The families of the Challenger crew are in the audience!!!!
