it's (not) just a game

allright then. i guess i should be happy because the thrashers fans are happy. i guess i should be happy because the capitals fans are happy. i guess i should be happy because the hurricanes fans are happy. i guess i should be happy because the canadiens fans are happy. i guess i should be happy because the bruins fans are happy. but i am not really feeling it. but then again it is just a game. or not? i can't really decide. am sure hoping that the above list does not get any longer.
and spezza, i am sorry, i did not really mean it.
note; we can all have a pretty bad case of pms. thus, gerber we understand.

enough about hockey. went grocery shopping tonight. the fact that i had a car and did not have to carry all my purchases home made me feel better about the loss of $70. who knew toilet paper was really that expensive? well, i knew, but just did not want to know. but i got some coffee ;-)

for the upcoming weeks i have a midterm every monday, and an assignment due every thursday. and then final exams! well, i guess the only reason i can use an exclamation mark is because it ends another semester. plus i am done on the 16th, and am hoping to go to Ottawa for a few days, as well as Toronto.
the last few days i have been playing the same song for most of the day. but i did get some cleaning done, thanks to the tunes. in true G style, I have a song to last me for a week. last week it was Matchbox Twenty - Downfall. for this week, here is a little excerpt:
"Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me"

Note to self: have to try a little harder on essays to make that B an A.
If you are interested in some fascinating but heavy material: does God exist?
Considering my elementary blogging skills, i hope that link works.
now, back to studies on human capital and disease burdens

interesting: "John Strauss and Duncan Thomas found that taller men earn more money in Brazil, even after controlling for other important determinants such as education and experience. A 1% increase in height is associated with a 7% increase in wages in that middle-income country. In the United States, there is also an association, but a much smaller one, with a 1% increase in height associated with a 1% increase in wages. Moreover, shorter people are more likely to be unemployed altogether. Height reflects various benefits achieved early in life; thus one is not seeing just the impact of current income on current height. In particular, taller people receive significantly more eduction than shorter people."
