Universal Truth Number 1,234

Last night we attend a wedding for one of Michelle's coworkers and I had a relevation, but I'll get to that in a second. The wedding was for two widowers. The groom's wife passed on a few years ago after a years long struggle, from my understanding, with Lou Gehrig's disease. During that time he did everything he could to take care of her. He stayed true, and even after her condition deteriorated to the point where he was forced to put her in a nursing home and she became bitter, even accusing him of unfaithfulness and abusing their children. During that time he stayed loyal, taking care of his wife and raising his children. The bride is the mother of five and her husband passed on while remodelling their home. He sent her to the store to get something and when she came back he was gone. It was great to see two people who have had so much heartbreak find each other, hopefully they will lead a long and wonderful life together.

The highlight of the night for me was the wonderful Mariachi band that was hired to perform for the evening festivities. I've never seen a real Mariachi band before and my only experience with them is from the movies. The real thing was much better. We were serenaded to a number of familiar tunes, including "La Bamba" and "Pretty Woman." So now universal truth number 1,234: All weddings henceforth should STRONGLY consider hiring a Mariachi band. It really needs to be a movement of some sort, we could keep it underground even, like the Grey Album. It's worth it, trust me. Cha-cha.

Cyclones play in the Houston Bowl versus TCU in about 5 hours, I think I will drink some beer, it's going to be a tough one. Go State!

Oh, and if you didn't see the end of the Alamo Bowl between Nebraska and Michigan the other day you need to see it. It's ridiculous, if Michigan would have scored that quite possibly would have been one of the most f'd up plays in the history of football.
