So, while sifting through the Apple iTunes store on Saturday, I found a new band I had never heard of before… Fireflight.  They are a Chrisitan rock band in the mold of Evanescence, Paramore, and Flyleaf.  I was so impressed, I even bought their 2 albums off iTunes.

I’m usually not big into Christian rock… for some reason, it all sounds over sampled and too studio.  There are some bands like Pillar, Switchfoot, and a few others that don’t fall into that trap and Fireflight is one of those kinds of bands.  If you heard them on the radio, you wouldn’t know they were Christian because you would like the music and then when you heard the lyrics, they actually mean something!  I am now a fan of Fireflight.

Mizzou played 2 games this week.  They won a dazzling victory at home this week over the number 5 ranked team, Oklahoma, in the country in legitimate fashion and then promptly disintegrated over the weekend at Texas A&M.  So, in about 10 days, they were blown out by Kansas, beat one of the best teams in the country, and then got blown off the court by an unranked team even though they were a decent team.  Sometimes emotion can help and hurt a team.

Baseball season is coming up fast.  I’m fairly optimistic about the chances of the Cardinals this year.  I think they can score enough runs, I only hope their pitching doesn’t fail them like it did last year.  They blew the most saves in baseball last year and if they would have just converted half of them, they would have been a playoff team.  If that happens again this year, look for a wholesale changeout of management.

By the way, daylight savings time sucks!
