Santana

For the past four months I have had Santana’s new CD “All That I Am”. Never listened it until today. All I can say is wow – this CD is great! I just wish I listened to it months ago. One song in particular really touched me. It is a duet with Steven Tyler named “Just Feel Better”. It’s not too often a song gets to me, but the chorus really kind of got to me in a good, healing way:

I’m gonna try anything that just feels better
Tell me what to do
You know I can’t see through the haze around me
And I do anything to just feel better

And I can’t find my way
God I need a change
And I do anything to just feel better
Any little thing that just feel better

It is pretty amazing how good I feel these days. The haze is finally gone and I feel great about things in life. Mark my words – this will be a good 2006.

Flagrant Foul 2.

Damn. No Ron-Ron for Game 2. This better light a fire under the other Kings players to do *something*. It just seems like the NBA is acting more and more like NASCAR these days. They bend the rules for the darlings of the league, but the known “bad boys” are punished. Come on folks, the playoffs are physical. There was a hell of a lot more hitting than what Ron did. It’s just so frustrating. I’m really starting to believe the other Kings fans of a conspiracy.

GO KINGS.

Casa Blanca

For quite a few years I have heard great things about the Casa Blanca restaurant in Eureka.  Yet, I could never find it.  Little did I know it was *behind* the Carson mansion.  Tonight one of my buddies suggested it.  I’m glad he did!  Great food, good drink – Highly recommended.

It’s going to be the Spurs

Oh boy.  It’s official.  The Lakers beat the Hornets.  Kings are the 8th seed.  This is going to be an interesting series with the Spurs!  I hope that the Kings at least provide a good effort and give San Antonio a run for their money.  Now I wish I would have picked up those lower section seats on Sunday night.  Oh well, just as long as some of these games are in High Definition.  I really don’t see me getting down to Sacramento any time soon anyway.

GO KINGS!

If you don’t like that, you don’t like Kings basketball!

What a great surge the Sacramento Kings are having. They finished their regular season on a high note with another win! Now we just have to wait until the game tomorrow to find out who the Kings will play in the first round of the playoffs. Playing either the Suns or Spurs should prove to be an exciting matchup!

I just hope that some games are shown on either ESPN or TNT since I can get both in High Definition. There’s nothing like watching a basketball game in High Definition. Oh that’s right there is one better – actually being there!

TV Nostalgia

I was excited today when my package from Amazon came. In it contained Knight Rider Season 4, which is the final season of this great series. I’ve already watched half of the first DVD and it brings back a lot of memories. KITT is made better than ever with a bunch of new goodies. Why did they ever cancel this show? I know its cheesy and it would be almost impossible for a car such as KITT to even exist. But it is a fun show to watch.
The universe will be whole once the last few seasons of Dukes Of Hazzard are released. There is just too much junk on TV these days. At least they are now on DVD so I can enjoy them any time I want. Maybe I’ll start collecting the A-Team series next. :)
