1. I made a bold first step yesterday that may have me set through June 17th with things to do. Hopefully, there is some cash that makes the summer easy for me too. Fingers crossed that someone wants to pass off this responsibility to me...more details to come.
2. I am about to make another bold step, although less bold than the previous, but I think it could be good for North Carolina and me.
3. I was accused of "messing with someone's mind" yesterday. I think the mind needed to be messed with a little bit.
4. I have two semesters left at NC State -- unless I can find a way to get $6,000 together to pay for school flat out in the summer, then I could conceivably be done by August. I wonder...
5. In light of the previous two listings, I am thinking about "what's next?" a lot lately. My friend, Ryan, posted today that his recent move to Durham may have extended the "area he loves" -- I think I want to do that on a larger scale. I've been here too long and it is starting to feel stagnant. (As I finished typing, the following lyrics graced my cranium: "How did I come to stop here? / Well, I knew the gas was gone but I had to rev the motor" -- Thank you M. Doughty...
6. I love this area, too. But I need to get out before I get tied down.
7. I've posted song lyrics twice in a week -- this means that I am getting sentimental, which can breed danger if my past is any indication.
8. My schedule is lighter, but I am still really busy -- especially with DSIF7. Are you not "in the know"? Get in the know HERE.
9. To Zach G. -- C'mon, man, do it. Then let's get drunk and talk about writing.
10. Yet, another double-digit list. Great.

Really?
Donovan McNabb is now, REPORTEDLY upset with the team and the way things have gone down since his injury. The big three "gripes" are this:
• McNabb reportedly is unhappy that Eagles coach Andy Reid didn't allow him to travel with the team to New Orleans for the team's playoff game against the Saints. The Eagles have a rule that players on injured reserve don't travel with the team.
Why would you be above a team rule? The players need to focus on the game and executing the plan. If you are injured and 7 games away from having played, what good can it do? Fly yourself downthere if it is about providing moral support. In short, support the team by playing your role (no matter how unfortunate that is)
• McNabb also reportedly might be getting the feeling that some with the Eagles might prefer Garcia as the team's starting quarterback after Garcia led Philadelphia to the playoffs and a postseason victory after McNabb's injury.
Jeff Garcia is a good quarterback. You are in no danger of losing your job, but don't expect Garcia to go back to the bench quietly, he was a monster this season and, if your injury had happened earlier, maybe would have been Pro Bowl bound. Why aren't you happy for him? Why won't you be excited to play against him when he joins the Redskins (I really hope that is not true.)
• And McNabb also reportedly isn't happy with how his mother has been portrayed in the media and by Eagles fans for comments on her blog on his Web site. She wrote that watching the Eagles win without McNabb was "bittersweet."
Control what you can control, there is no time to worry about anything else.
