You know how everyone is an expert in everything? You know what I mean… Like the Olympics… Every 4 years, people are glued to the TV, watching obscure sports that they watch… well only every 4 years… But yet, everyone has an opinion about how well so and so did her triple sow-cow (not even sure if that’s spelled right) and what not.

Well.. I’m about to pull something like that on, yes it’s quite obvious from my title: Late Night TV. Let it be known that Late Night TV to me are Simpson, King of the Hill, and Futurama reruns… Yes I know nothing about Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien.

But I have been following their spat over the news (well, I guess it’s NBC v. O’Brien, but whatever…), and I recently read a National Post article that made a lot of sense to me.

It said that basically, while there’s almost universal support for Conan O’Brien on the internet – ie. Facebook and Twitter, in reality, this support is meaningless because… well his ratings were down. For almost 17 years (I do know the story behind this), Jay Leno ruled late night ratings, regularly whooping David Letterman… But now, apparently, O’Brien’s Tonight Show was getting beat out sometimes by Letterman reruns! HA! So much for all those internet fans. Kind of like how Ignatieff is working on gaining the support of those College students on his cross-Canada tours of Colleges and Universities… but you know that no matter how packed ConHall would be if he ever gave a lecture there, it’d never materialize into votes…

Anyway, here’s to the twits on twitters… The all-talk no-walk generation who so quickly can be united to support this an that cause… but really are just self-interested wannabes looking for something to do with their time…

I predict: Jay Leno will triumph, and the internet masses will lament. But alas, a new controversy is brewing somewhere, and a new facebook group will be made to occupy the twits.

I am a massive coffee drinker – though not by any means a coffee connoisseur like some friends of mine are. It fuels my day, I suppose, though sometimes I do go over board – like my recent trip to Florida, which forces me to have to detox from coffee for a while…

I remember when we went to drop off my friend, Joseph, in Calgary. It was about… 40 hours… of driving, and pretty much in that one week, I drank probably 3 weeks worth of coffee (Let’s say, I drink 2 larges from Tim Hortons a day). As a result of that, I actually stopped drinking coffee for a month. But, I got a little taste one day and was right back on…

My recent need to detox wasn’t as bad. I didn’t drink coffee for a week, but I’m definitely back in it… But, I am trying to cut down on my sugar. Just before the new year, I started drinking double-doubles (2 creams and 2 sugars) – down from triple-triples. I’m thinking in February, I’ll start drinking Regulars (just 1 cream and sugar) … with the eventual goal of cutting sugar out completely by the end of this season.

Let’s see if it works!

Having said all that, I actually picked up a new piano student today.. and I was just handed a message that another potential student had called.. Oh man, I’m gonna need these coffees…

I finally used my new HD Camera for something today… Revamping my boss’ (Senior Pastor of my church) welcome video on his Facebook. Man, is the video incredible, I’m really looking forward to using it for my Piano Videos…

I was at the Kennedy Space Center a few days ago (pictures to follow) and I’ve been inspired to restart an old hobby – Model Rockets. I was in to it when I was like 14… about the height of my fascination with space flight (that is, when I still wanted to be an astronaut). Problem was, that was when I didn’t have an income… Well now that I do, I figure I can sink a little cash into it…

I’m gonna spend the next few months investigating this some more.. Gotta figure out what kind of gear I need to do this. And yeah, I hope that I’ll be able to start launching in the spring sometime.
