Mark Cuban's dancing

I watched mark Cuban tear up the floor tonight on Dancing With The Stars. I was impressed at how well he did. He seemed more nimble than I would have thought. But what I really enjoyed was the little behinds the scenes they do of each dancer before they go on. First they show when Cuban and his professional dance partner first meet. Cuban informs her that he just had hip surgery 7 weeks ago and she has this look on her face like WTF. It's funny to me to see someones expression at the exact moment they realize they are going to lose. It's even funnier when that moment is before they ever even start to dance. Cuban then brags that most people are still in crutches at 7 weeks.* Later Cuban shows his scar which stretches from his mid-thigh across his ass cheek. ** Later while they are practicing, after one move Cuban kind of holds his hip. His partner says "Are you okay? Are you holding your rod? (referring to the rod the doctors put into his leg)" Cuban quickly responds, "It's okay, I'm always holding my rod. (not referring to the rod the doctors put into his leg). ***

I am really looking forward to seeing more of him. I hope he doesn't get voted off to quickly so that he can make more of a fool of himself. I like Mark Cuban.

* Mark Cuban doesn't have much humility.
** Mark Cuban doesn't have much class.
*** But Mark Cuban doesn't care either.

Bah-Hum-Bug

For many of us Sunday is usually held as a day of rest, as we are to use this day to honor and worship Jesus Christ. And today being Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Christ, it seems that we should want take a double dose of rest today. However, most of us will be spending the day with family. And as we know, dealing with family is far from restful. So at the end of this, which should be the ultimate day of rest, we may instead, find that we are far more exhausted and stressed than we are after a normal day of work. To quote my good friend Sarah, "I couldn't image Christmas without alcohol."

Cheney visits Iraq, attacks kill 19

This was a headline I saw today. It gave me this great mental picture of Dick Chaney going to Iraq and then going bizerk and destroying everything he sees in a Godzilla-type rampage. That's fun to think about, a lot more fun than the real story.
