Yes, that's right, today is Mothers day in Ireland. Why is it in the middle of March? I honestly have no clue, but it is. I was wondering why all this Mothers day stuff started popping up all over the stores about a week ago, and it wasn't until the other day when I looked at a calendar that I realized it is today. So Happy Moms day to all the Irish Moms!
So today I just lounged around, finished one of my papers due Thursday completely, and cleaned my room. I'm gonna finish my music paper over the next 3 days so that I can watch the first round of the NCAA tourney Thursday and Friday night. Because this weekend I have to do my history paper. So I plan on doing that in the morning, before it's afternoon in the states. That way I can watch all the games Saturday and Sunday evening too. My music paper only has to be 1,500 words. That's cake. My history one has to be 2,500. But it's on "Why was WWII called the People's war." How easy is that? Yes, cake, I know.
Oh, just a quick reminder to people. I am now only 4 hours ahead of you. Our clocks do not spring forward here until March 28th. One of the last countries to do so. So for now, I am four hours ahead, as apposed to 5.
Highlight of the day: It's selection Sunday! The NCAA college basketball bracket was announced! I am so pumped! At first glance I'd say, Kansas has a tough road, but they are a strong team. I like West Virginia a lot. I can see Baylor playing Duke in the elite 8, and I think Syracuse has a pretty easy road for the most part. I can't wait to start filling out brackets. I've ran a pool every year since Junior year in High School. This is the first year since then that I'm not. It's really weird. And it sucks because no one here cares about US college basketball. So I guess I can talk to myself about how crazy shit is. I am still filling out brackets. I'll display them in my room and what not. I'm going to fill out a couple and then I'm going to make a final bracket. One in pen, that I won't change at all. I'll either take pictures or post about it by Thursday. Probably Tuesday or Wednesday night.
Hmmmm, that's really all I got right now.
Oh, and the whole car situation. I want a retro looking car. Ya know, like something from the 80's. Like a 1980's jaguar or mercedes benz. You can find them for like $6,000 now. I feel like I could see myself driving down the Santone freeway blaring "Working for the Weekend" in a 1980's car. I really wouldn't mind getting a late 1980's porsche for around 6 or 7 thousand. However, my sister and Emily both keep telling me it's not practical. But honestly, I don't know that I care about that right now. My sister said, "You can't put a baby seat in a porsche." I was like, woah, I'm not having kids anytime soon. So why not buy the nice sporty throwback while I'm young? I have my whole like to get a domestic sedan. I don't want to be that 50 or 60 year old dude that goes out and buys a porsche or a ferari. That screams, "I'm desperate for attention and I was the man in high school. Yes, I played on the football or basketball team, and now I have this awesome car. Check me out. Sure I'm half bald but don't I look so awesome?" Yeah, I don't wanna be that guy. Plus by the time I'm 50, a car from the 80's would be considered a classic car. So dammit, I'm getting an 80's car! I wish I was born in 1970. That way I could have been a kid when Skynard and Zeppelin were king, and then I could have been a teenager in the 80's, when leather jackets were the shit and Journey and Hall and Oates were radio favorites. Oh well, I'm brining it back. If I can't go back to the 80's, I'll just bring the 80's to myself.
Whatever, I'll just leave everyone with some 80's flashbacks.
Ok, that's good enough. How can you honestly say you didn't want to be a teenager when all this was hot?
Have a goodnight everyone!
Payce.

I must say I’m really excited about the 2010 NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament. I think there are numerous possible upsets this year. I haven’t filled out a bracket yet, but I’d say my Final Four teams are Michigan State, Syracuse, Kentucky, and Baylor. I’ll put Syracuse and Kentucky in the championship game, with Syracuse winning. It should be an interesting tournament though.
