Matt Groening, I owe you one

I've watched The Simpsons regularly since it came out about 18 years ago. I didn't know what the Tracy Ullman show was, but I probably would have watched it there too, but, I was eight! I have the first eight seasons on DVD (I'm falling behind) and I throw one of them in two or three times a week. It's also on every night at 11 on the new CW channel (what does CW stand for?). What I'm getting at is that it really is a comfort for me. Since I've been watching it since I was in 4th grade and am so familiar with all the episodes, just hearing the theme song has a way of relaxing me.

I ended up having a particularly difficult day at work today. Trapped, puppet, pawn, peon, are the words that come to mind to describe the way I feel and the way I am treated. I usually try to calm down on the drive home and often Mitch Albom does the trick but today I was listening to Bill Simonson on the ticket 1050 WTKA talking about George Mitchell's steroid probe in baseball. Not the most relaxing thing. So by the time I got home I was still stressed. I played a few Guitar Hero songs and had a lunchable but was still felling down. So at about 7:30 I popped in season 7 of The Simpsons, hit play all and have been relaxed ever sense.

So to Matt Groening, thanks for the pick me up and I'm sorry about the copyright infringement.
