Do you ever have one of those days?

I'm sitting at my desk ... in the office ... at 2:50 a.m. ... listening to a little Metro Station on the myspace.

Just to set the scene, ya know?

I want to write. Really, I do. I really enjoy writing. Words are my friend. Yet, I'm sitting here with not a whole lot to write about. At least not much that I think anybody else would find particularly interesting.

FYI, the mood music is now Secondhand Serenade. Just thought you'd want to know the switch.

Anyway, I'm a boring person. This isn't any kind of news flash. I've known it for a long, long time. For some reason, there are a few people in my life who put up with my total lack of originality and funness (yes, I made that word up). Poor Elizabeth.

But seriously, I'm trying to find something interesting to write about, and I can't. I read other people's blogs, friends of mine, and think, "Wow, that's an interesting story." Or, "They're such a fun person. I know why I like them." Then I think about my stories and truly wonder why anyone likes me. I'M BORING!

The only things going on in my life are my work, which I spend far too much time doing, sleep and um, NCAA '09 on the PS3. I live such an exciting life, let me tell you.

I covered a football game tonight. While it was jamborees for most schools, the MPSA started last week. So I covered Cenla Christian Academy is what was actually a very exciting game. I hope my Tech Bulldogs can have a similar contest -- and a similar win -- when they face Mississippi State on ESPN2 on Saturday.

About the only other thing going on in my life right now is "The Gustav Watch." We've all been put on alert at work that it could be a busy week. I'll most likely be working both Sunday and Monday, my two scheduled days off, and since Monday is Labor Day, it's supposed to be a 4-day work week next week. Yeah, like that'll happen.

From following the latest projections, it seems like Gustav (which apparently means "God's staff") is turning more and more West and appears like it will not devastate New Orleans on the 3-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina after all. Hopefully, the monster will just keep on turning left and miss Central Louisiana altogether. I don't want to have to go through an extended period without power!

Well, it's after 3 a.m. now. I need to get going, so I can get a little sleep and get ready for a big day of college football on Saturday!!!
