Woke up to the soulful sounds of the tornado sirens this morning. Always fun to be woken up that way. I guess it makes sense since i tried to do just that this past semester, but that's another story.

Saw "Jersey Boys" last night with my old choir teacher. Gotta say, i was amazed by it. Awesome music and a great story really made it enjoyable. You just get so caught up in each character that at the end of the show, when each of the "Four Seasons" gives their whole "where are they now" speech, you can't help but cheer for each one as they finish and walk off stage. I told my dad, who doesn't really like musical theatre, that he would have loved the show, mostly because he knows a lot of music by the "Four Seasons" and there was a good bit of humor in the show. Gotta worn you though, there is quite a bit of obscene language, so taking your kids to see the show might not be the best of ideas. Other than that, I would suggest that everybody go and see it if you can find tickets (might be sold out, not sure about that).

Yeah, about that Jay Bruce. The phenom struggled last night, going 1 for 3 with a walk and a strikeout. Average took a nosedive to an abysmal .552. This kid really needs to pick up the pace. Ok seriously, has anybody ever seen anything like this?? Jay Bruce is single handedly giving us Reds fans hope for the future and, to some extent, this season. We know the Reds can win at GABP. Now all we need to do is start winning on the road and we do actually have a chance. It's still gonna be tough with the Cubs getting off to their best start in a century.

Chad Johnson....will he or won't he?? I personally don't care if he comes back or not. If he plays, he plays. If he doesn't, he doesn't. Either way, he's not exactly gonna be welcomed back joyfully by Bengals fans, me included.

Finally, a few words on the world of Ice Hockey. I'm still pissed that game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals went to triple OT. I stayed up until what had to be 12:30 am (or so i think, i passed out sometime during double OT) hoping that Detroit would score and be able to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup. As it turns out, I didn't find out until yesterday while watching ESPN that the penguins won to force a game 6. Now that I think about it, it would be even more delightful to watch Detroit hoist the cup in pittsburgh. And now, the important news. Game 6 of the Kelly Cup Finals is tomorrow evening at the US Bank Arena. I wish I could go, but I have to work tomorrow and saturday evenings, so I'll have to settle for listening to the game on the radio at work (that part won't be easy) while the rest of my family goes down to see the Cyclones play for the Kelly Cup. All I can say is GO CYCLONES!!!!!!!!

To everybody in the Greater Cincinnati metro area, stay safe this afternoon.
