It&#8217;s not about what&#8217;s on right now, it&#8217;s about what&#8217;s on the recorder. I even see ads on TV for movies and wonder how long I have to wait to see them on my HUGE 23&#8243; HDTV. I can be a special kind of hermit. Not too different than the kind of hermit I am already but now I can use a SATELLITE.<\/p>\n<p>Technology is speaking to me. I know it&#8217;s just a coincidence but both of my iPods played the same song last night. My iPhone on shuffle played <b>Lovin&#8217;, Touchin&#8217;, Squeezin&#8217;<\/b> by Journey as I was finishing up my mopping. When I got to my car, the next song on my iPod mini was <b>Lovin&#8217;, Touchin&#8217;, Squeezin&#8217;<\/b>. If I were a believing man, I&#8217;d take this as some kind of sign, but what sign is it? Maybe I&#8217;m supposed to count the number of &#8220;Na&#8217;s&#8221; in the &#8220;Na, na, na nah, nana&#8221;, etc, and use that as some sort of numerical goal, but what goal would that be? The number of pull-ups I can do in a 24-hour period? I&#8217;d rewind the song and start counting but there are a BOATLOAD of &#8220;na&#8221;s in that song.<\/p>\n<p>I think my back is feeling better, too. I didn&#8217;t have a sharp stabbing back pain &mdash; a good sign &mdash; but it was kind of sore all day long. I went to the gym anyway and did lighter weight for the workouts and now it&#8217;s feeling better. I may be deluding myself, but I&#8217;m hoping it all resolves itself soon.<\/p>\n<p>In case you were wondering, I counted 154 &#8220;na&#8221;s in that song. I&#8217;m up late because my buddy Il told me I had to watch the episode of <b>House<\/b> I have on my DVR. I think it could have waited a couple of days, but it was good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found a way to become even more antisocial with my new DirecTV DVR because now there are lots of ways to kill time and hide inside without being bored at home.
