Introspective questions....

Am I a serial killer?

Is death OK?

Alright before I get flagged by the government as a psycho, I must clarify. these are questions I ask myself when I watch Dexter and Six Feet Under. Both show deal with death and or killing in a very different and strange way. Yes, they are mainstream media, but they seam more real in their dealings with death.

Six Feet Under revolves around a funeral home and the dealings with death and grief. Dexter is about a serial killer who kills other criminals. Some might find these shows dark and graphic. I on the other hand, find them real and gripping. I have watched these shows with care and feel closer to the characters. That doesn't mean I'm a serial killer or a undertaker in training. It means the shows have sucked me into a world that seems real. I love these shows, but would never let them affect my judgement.

I have come to the conclusion that I have a personality that is mainly apathetic. If I care about something (the Cubs, Dexter, editing, or Kristi) then I immerse myself in those things. If I don't care about something (reading, musical instruments, MySpace, or Rachel Ray) then I won't give it a second look. Is this shallow? Possibly, but luckily for me, that is something I don't care about.

Rediculousness...

That's right, this week is so action packed I created my own word for it. Lots of work to do and not enough time to do it. I've got three games this week with the first starting tonight. Also a presentation tomorrow and then the doctor's office on Friday.

I don't know what it is about the doctor that makes me all squeamish, but it definitely does. I haven't been in a few years and I start with a new guy tomorrow. I'm sure everything is alright, but you can never be too sure.

Otherwise, not much going on except college basketball kicking up and baseball starting soon. Here's to a great March madness and hoping this baseball season is the one I have been waiting for....
